You're right mate, best bang for your resale buck if you wanted to net cash outta this romp would be the highest-end electronics still in the box on an auction site-I'd focus all my speed-seconds on Nikon, Cannon, and Leica! Practice the cube-stack and scoot that sucker to the bin on the floor just in time!

What are you doing that you need micron measurement for? Is it for a specific project?

I use an old manual focus lens on my Nikon, which works for what I need it for.

It may be easier to recommend a particular lens if I knew a bit more as to what your goal is or what you want to accomplish.

I have a Nikon D5000 and a D7000 and use both Nikon and off-brand lenses. The make is more personal preference as Canon does a good job with their Rebel line.

Here is an article you may find useful, otherwise let me know if you have further questions.

I read somewhere that they use a high end Nikon D3S for these images. So in a way, the ISS is an elaborate tripod.

@ponceleon, yes this is a real effect that you see with real lenses. The tilt shift lenses made by Nikon and Canon like the one above mimic the motions possible using a large format view camera. By allowing both the film and lens plane to be manipulated by the photographer, it is possible to do some really interesting things like having an apparent infinite focus and perfect parallels.

I had to use a 4x5 camera (like this one) for an assignment back when I was doing my photography program. I can tell you that the image quality you get with a big sheet of film is unparalleled among digital cameras. Plus big 4x5 view cameras are a lot of fun to use.

@sixshot, yes, PC (perspective control) lenses that allow tilt/shift movements are incredibly expensive, buy not really much more than any other high-end 35mm lenses these days. (The last lens I bought for my system retails for about $2400.) It's true that photoshop can imitate some of what is possible with these leses, but digital imitation is never as good as the real thing.

It might be interesting to note that it's possible to pick up 4x5 view camera system (on ebay) capable of these motions AND a professional film scanner (new) to digitize your images for less money than the PC lens shown in this infomercial.

I believe Sigma uses the Foveon chip. I got a Sigma lens when I bought my Nikon D7000 but I have not owned a Sigma camera. Would it not be cheaper to buy the sensor itself? I have never hacked a DSLR so it would be cool to hear what you find out there. Good Luck!!

I think its like the Terminator. Somewhere deep in the Nikon or Canon laboratories in Japan, in a secret room behind a 10,000 pound door, is a fully assembled Canon EF 500 f/4.5 lens that was found in an excavation site from 1936.

This video was taken from a Nikon Coolpix 3200 Digital Camera... The clicking sounds in the video is a dead give-away. (Sad that my camera is so crappy I actually know this )

Years later i became a hore for a brand.
not that that matters , but baaah what a protentouse and shit advert Its like fake clever with fucking overused happy bullshit everyone get involved its simple music.
If i was going to get annything now id get a DSLR that can do 1080p and that would eathor be a nikon or a cannon .

At least she's doing something, while you fester on the Sift, sitting on your ass making inane, spiteful comments.

It's pretty worrisome how much they trust the technology - they get a grainy image of a dark blob with a shoulder strap and decide it's a gun, and not just a gun but an AK-47 (and then an RPG).

Nikon et al ought to make a bright orange line of cameras for use in conflict zones, so they have less risk of being mistaken for guns.

- And the pilots ought to be court martialed of course.

Not magic; very clever engineering.

inset all magic clever engineering with a small bit of deceptoin sprinkled on top ?

im telling you nikon and cannon are both very deceptive companies.

So thats what my DSLR looks like taking a picture when I use a small apeture? Damn...


my apature is bigger than yours.
