D200 In Depth Review

[marcotrov]

FYI Found this english translated Japanese site giving good review of D200 shooting ability at High ISO. Little hard to understand in parts but the dynamic range readings are also interesting!

Is that a new prime lens we see here - 35mm 1:1.4?

The translation makes reading slow and I have to get away so a more thorough study will have to wait but some of those tests look very meaningful. And the D200 would appear, on the surface at least, to master them with considerable aplomb.

Marco, something tells me that you have the party hats well and truly on the gonads over the release of this camera. I hope it is everything you wish it to be.

You could say that Walter but the translation or interpretation is poor and confusing. Dynamic range is interesting in a positive sense but the high ISO performance I'm not as happy with as I initially believed but still early days and I am keen to lay my hands onit, surprisingly enough

It's way too small for that (from looking at the 35 f/1.4 Ai). Also, I think it says 1:2D at the front.

Would be cool though. The f/1.4 has always had a good reputation, I wonder why they don't make an AF lens from it.

Cheers

Steefen,

I stand corrected - it is the 35mm 1:2 (cripes I even own one .... anyone wanna buy it?). Failing sight at dawn I guess.

Cheers,
