So, I'm not a complete newbie photographer and fully understand what megapixels, dynamic range, and high ISO ability bring to the table (D3, D3s, D7000, etc.)
For some reason, though, over the last few months I went on a KEH buying spree and scored some real low shutter count pro series Nikons- a D1x, D2hs, and D2x and have just been blown away with the saturation and flat out color rendition of these cameras- especially the D2hs. The D1x takes some great film grain black and white and the D2x is incredible at base ISO. I am shooting raw, BTW and use Capture 1 pro mostly. These are my first and only pro-series Nikons, I had been shooting pro-sumer until now.
So question for all of you... how many of you are a bit tired of the latest and greatest and have gone back to appreciating some old school digital? (yeah, yeah, yeah, I love tri-x pan as well, but this is about "old" digital)
These three cameras have really boosted my love of picture taking as of late and I've been using them fully manual with primes (especially the Voightlander 20mm 3.5)
Any old digital love still out there?
D2hs 24mm F/11 1/80 iso-400
