On Friday, August 11 I received my Nikon D800E, 24mm PC-E and 85mm/1.8 Nikkor lenses.
Today, Sunday, I finally got time to shoot off a couple of frames to study.
First impressions:
1. Don't care for the Nikon ViewNX2 RAW Converter - getting far better results from CS5.
2. Quite impressed with the images shot today. In the next couple of days I'll shoot off some difficult scenes and see what I get.
3. Totally impressed with the weight reduction of the Nikon with 2 lenses verse the Hassie gear! This I can handle and not be
completely dependent upon my Camera Sherpa (AKA: Wife) to transport my gear.
In short, first impression is the D800E is a keeper. Will do more research on lenses that are optimized for Landscape work.
So far, I like the 24mm PC-E.
Suggestions for best RAW converter appreciated.
