Was playing around with a friends D3 with a 50mm f1.2 AI-S last night at the Toronto Flickrmeet. Nice camera, a little too big for my tastes, but otherwise very nice to work with. I'd love to see a D300-sized version without the 9+ fps. The high ISO performance is incredible.

Amazingly little noise at ISO 2000. Very well exposed, and very rich looking color. Hate the bokeh, I like the Pentax K1.2 much better for this, and even the Cosina 55f1.2 has much nicer bokeh. On 2/28/08, Adam Maas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Was playing around with a friends D3 with a 50mm

Note that's a very busy background, which does detract from the bokeh. I've found I very much like the bokeh of this lens, although why is more evident in other shots I've taken with it. -Adam On 2/28/08, Gonz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Amazingly little noise at ISO 2000. Very well exposed, and

I completely agree, Bill. Stephen is a great person to deal with. Now, if only he'd update the look of his site :) Bob, I think the two lenses are quite different so it is difficult to compare. The 58 focuses slightly more closely than normal, but I wouldn't consider it a macro. The mag is
