canon to nikon switch! Still waiting on my 85mm 1.8 though.

ultimately, I love the 24-70 and 14-24, the nikon counterparts are better. I just don't have the money right now for both of those, along with a d700. Hell, I think 17-55 would be great too. I just happen to pick up the 16-85 because it came with the body for only 1829 from B&H. So I have an...

I just ordered a d300 w/16-85 kit and a sb900. Looking around I see a limited selection on FX compatible glass for around 1k on the tele end. If I was still with canon, I'd be looking at the 70-200 F4IS,135L or even a 24-105F4IS. There so much dead space on 'budget' constant aperture glass for...

Dj mocok has a running joke of posting really bad shots in this thread. Look back on all his picture posts and you will see what I mean. However, if you check his gallery, he has some nice shots. Its real night and day.

I am currently a canon user who is switching to nikon soon. Right now i'm in the research phase. First off I shoot with a canon xt, sigma 18-50ex 2.8 and 430ex speedlite. I interested in nikon's fx format, better metering and flash systems(CLS). If I was concerned with long primes or f4 zooms I...

is there an equivalent to the 100-400L for nikon?

looks like peter has 'L' fever. Also i think its unfair to compare a $400 sigma lens to $1200 'L' canon lens

nope its a 725B head/tripod combo. I plan on getting a BH-1 and Gitzo combo later down the line.

just got my sigma 18-50 macro. Here it is mounted on my XT body.

Hmm let me try going back to settings. It seems default on the forums goes to do not subscribe. *edit: got it to work! I set it to no email notification. thanks

On all other forums, if I post or start a new thread, it gets marked as subscribed. If there is a new post after mine, its gets put back onto my recent list. If I want to go back, I can look at my entire history subscriptions by clicking view all subscriptions. Is this feature available without...

the lite audio dac 60 is a tube dac. Have you tried rolling tubes?

the singlepower website hasn't been updated in years. There was a 'press release' of sort in the mall-fi section. However i think we lost it when head-fi crashed.

interesting, I noticed a headphone out jack. Its got still competition from the likes of lavry,benchmark, and oritek although those are SS designs.

just got all my XT parts and having tons of fun learning all the features.

Personally I went with an XT body used and got an 18-55IS lens. I figured go cheapest body I could get and save for L glass. Once I have the glass I needed, I could get whatever XXD body was refreshed to.

where are the pics are they being rehosted?

a stock ppx3 is good for higher impedance phones like the HD650. Having a slam means greater flexibility with lower impedance phones. However i use my stock ppx3 with my 32ohm dt770 with solid results.

bass helps you feel the music. Just like at a concert. Its a state of being where bass isn't a regularly experienced thing unlike vocals and 'most' of sound spectrum. I love Hip hop and techno, a lot of the 'musicality' comes from the beats pounding your chest( or in our case eardrums). I been...

isnt there a 30 return policy with pacific valve if you want to try the lite audio dac-60?
