With all my respect to Robert, yet the best lenses for my D500 are ones of 'golden trinity' , especially 70-200 reaching real 300 mm focus and wonderful 24-70. Those lenses are the best ones in respect of both autofocusing and picture quality. DX camera is using the best central part of FX lense, and this provides the best picture possible.
@Robert-Bishop 13 сағат бұрын
I agree Pavel, and had this video been about FX lenses, I would have definitely included them. Thanks for watching. 😊
@pavelantonov251 19 сағат бұрын
I am not sure about matrix, but as for processor and the rest it's definitely not exactly as same as one in D7500. What to say about D500's auto focus - it's just magic, it's easy to believe that D500 is just smaller clone of top camera D5. Another surprising thing about D500 is that it's JPEG files are almost as flexible when working in Lightroom as NEF files, I can't see there a big difference. Finally, the best pictures I have with D500 are made when using top Nikkor FX lenses, i.e. 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8.
@Robert-Bishop 13 сағат бұрын
As far as I'm aware, the D500 and D7500 both have the same Expeed 5 processor. As I said in the video though, the D500 certainly has the superior AF system. Thanks for the input. 😊

1. I reckon there are so many folks with serious UI skills that could have a ball making this interface more inviting. Look at blender. If they can so can darktable. 2.

@@Robert-Bishop that's why it annoys me so much when someone just writes 'darktable' when question arises for Lr alternatives. There ARE NO Lr alteratives. Each competing software requires a complete change of workflow, mindset etc... and if that's someone's main tool / critical part of their workflow, it's hard to recommend change. For me, for years now, darktable was a bit of a meme, a painful joke, an example of why open-source projects for desktop rarely deliver what they promised. My test was simple - I had 150k of photos, made with 30+ cameras and 3x more lenses. All I needed as step 1, was to import the photos and scub through them quickly like I can in Lr - darktable always failed at some point... I'm decimating my collection (below 20k now) and darktable seems to be more and more viable, don't remember it crashing on import in the last few weeks. But admittedly, DxO delivers better quality results, but requires Windows :( I was hoping to switch to Linux desktop 100%). And DxO's interface is even more confusing at times :) I still have a few weeks before I terminate my Adobe subscription, so I need to run a few tests with some photos from different cameras to see how 'alternatives' act.
@tompatton2086 6 күн бұрын
I would imagine you've learned quite a bit more about Darktable since making this video but I'm surprised you didn't notice how the histogram is shifted way to the left leaving the image very dark. Maybe that's the look you were after?
@Robert-Bishop 6 күн бұрын
Yeah, it's a misconception that all images should have a histogram that is evenly spread. Too many people use that as a target to aim for, when infact the histogram is just a measurement tool to indicate the levels in an image. Some images have lots of dark areas and the histogram will be to the left and some have lots of light areas and it will be to the right. The most important thing to watch out for, is that nothing is clipping outside of the histogram.

I can vouch for the Tokina 11-16. I bought it many years ago when I bought my first DSLR, a Nikon D5100. Part of the decision to go for the Tokina was that it will cover a full frame sensor at 16mm and I was sure that I would eventually go that way. If anyone is considering this lens, the mark 1 requires a screw drive in your body. The mark two has its own focus motor and improved coatings. I went for the mark 2. Manual focussing wouldn't be a problem 95% of the time, but the f2.8 did make it a useful lens indoors where autofocus was handy. I did go full frame eventually and it did indeed provide me with a 15,5mm-16mm f2,8 zoom 'prime'!

It's usually bundled with a 16-50 compact zoom lens. It depends what subjects you want to capture - if it's anything at distance I would suggest something else. The 18-140 or 50-250 would be more versatile for example. I only use Nikon, so can't help with the other brands I'm afraid. I hope you find something that suits your needs. 😊

Thank you for posting the raw images along with the finished product. Most of the raw pics looked a bit soft and rather dull, not until some post-processing was applied that the pics became sharp and snappy. Was that perhaps the result of camera/lens/teleconverter combination? New tech makes wonders, but to think that a few decades ago while you had some latitude with negative film, you had basically none with slide film to get sharp, vivid pictures.
@Robert-Bishop 21 күн бұрын
No, nothing to do with the lens or teleconverter. RAW always needs editing - it's not a finished file format, rather a dump of all the raw information that's ready to be manipulated. If you output in JPG, you're just letting your camera do the editing for you, so much better to work with the RAW and produce your own results. Thanks for watching. 😊
