You used a Canon EOS 5D? Looking forward to seeing your work. Helen Rita ?

I was sincerely looking for some stunning shots of the bird. I THOUGHT it was strange that you would be using the 5D. You are a devoted Nikon photographer. > Lol..... you got me Rita.

It's the Nikon lens that makes the shot! The old Canon is simply an inexpensive and temporary band-aid till Nikon releases the FF D3x in fall of 2007. Rita Rita ?

I'm working on it. It's been said that the only acceptable lens for this capture is going to be the 17-35.

That's Bret's elusive red-headed, double-breasted mattress thrasher wearing a black cap! LOL. >> And captures the Yellow Throat Warbler when the light is low. >> >> http://www.geocities.com/ritaberk2006/warbler.htm >> > Lovely bokey, but what is it? The signature bokeh gives it away! There's only one lens in the Nikon and Canon stable that can produce the best creamiest bokeh in the world. It's the world famous 58/1.2 NOCT Nikkor of course. Rita Rita ?

I have a 58/1.2 Nikkor, but I've been using it to take indoor shots without flash, with ISO 400 film because of its speed....I wasn't even aware that it had such good bokeh. I'll have to break it out and try using it in normal light...... >> The signature bokeh gives it away!

I'll have to break it out and try using it in normal light...... I take it all back....I just checked my fast Nikkor, and it's 55mm, not 58, so it's a different lens altogether.....I thought there was something wrong when I saw the $2500 price tag on that eBay item.....I only paid around $200 for mine at KEH, and I'm sure that they wouldn't make a mistake like that!

It's > the world famous 58/1.2 NOCT Nikkor of course. Creamy bokeh? You really want creamy bokeh? Well the Canon 85mm f/1.2L creams all over your Nikkor. It's the creamiest! http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/64263482 > Creamy bokeh? You really want creamy bokeh? > Well the Canon 85mm f/1.2L creams all over your Nikkor. > It's the creamiest! > > http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/64263482 It's OK. Not even remotely in the same league as the old Noct, though. The 85/1.2L is a decent beginner's lens to cut your teeth on considering it's a bargain at $1,800 new. Plus, the 85/1.2L will depreciate like a new Dodge car being driven off the lot. Take a look at the old Noct. This fool on eBay sold his for $2,550. I'm so pissed this moron let it go so cheaply that I don't know whether to call him a simpleton or dumbass. Good glass *ALWAYS* appreciates!!! And guess what? That baby is going on someone's Canon. http://cgi.ebay.com/_W0QQitemZ150062615500 Rita >And captures the Yellow Throat Warbler when the light is low. > >http://www.geocities.com/ritaberk2006/warbler.htm THAT is one awesome lens. Bokeh city. Thanks for posting this shot. Where can I get me one of them 58mm Nikkors? RP© > THAT is one awesome lens. > Bokeh city. Thanks for posting this shot.
