I think this is a bit better release than Canon had today, with the Rebel. Nikon brings out 2 new lenses that could really bit into the Canon camp. I’m sure that the 16-35mm f4 VR is better than the Canon offering, and 24mm f1.4 well hard to say until reviews are out for this lens. None the less though new lenses are great! Pix and specs after the jump!]]> http://www.hfortysixit.com/nikon-releases-24mm-f1-4-and-16-35mm-f4-vr/feed/ 0 http://www.hfortysixit.com/nikon-70-200-f2-8-vrii-problems/ http://www.hfortysixit.com/nikon-70-200-f2-8-vrii-problems/#comments Tue, 12 Jan 2010 01:30:01 +0000 hfortysixit http://www.hfortysixit.com/?p=2162 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; } Nikon 70-200 F2.8 VRII Problems?

Well this has to be the few reviews that i have seen with the Nikon D3s and Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VRII at the sametime. Webshooter.Tv has some nice samples between D3, D3s, 70-200 f2.8 VR, and 70-200 f2.8 VRII. You can see a straight comparison how much of a difference the new body and lens can make! If you don’t believe me see for yourself after the jump. Source:[Webshooter.tv/Nikonrumors] The absence of vignetting around the corners of the frame is the most noticeable difference I note on the VRII. Vignette control was set to LOW on the D3S just as it was on my usual D3 + 70-200 VR combo and I saw no vignette at f/2.8 or 3.2. While I didn’t have a chance to test D3S with VR at the three weddings that I shot (carrying one 70-200 is heavy enough), a later controlled test proved that the disappearance of vignette has nothing to with D3S or its firmware but purely by the VR II’s optical brilliance. You will see that when I couple the VR with D3 or D3S, the vignette reappears.
