no real idea jonathon ,as i said its not i.q as at 24 mp the resolving detail of this camera is superb ,i have mainly been using it with the 1.4 tc so far ,going to see what it can do with the 1.7 when conditions/sightings improve as that was my favourite setup before i.e 300 f4 + 1.7tc .even if it means using a mono or tri pod to get the sharpness ,or perhaps thats what it is theres to much detail/sharpness now .its one of those things that i can't really define .might even go back to a d300s .just don't know
You know Jeff, you might be getting too hung up on the technique.
There is nothing wrong with the images I have seen you present on here...even the new D7100 ones.
I just wonder if you are striving for a perfection that's beyond what many of us ever attain...and which might be unattainable?
I do not intend to be hypercritical or disparaging but having been through these quality examination processes many times in the past, I come back to the fact that my images are 'good enough'.
It's a human trait to want to improve. It's just sometimes the potential for improvement isn't there...or is disproportionately not worth it.
I have an old friend who used to shoot Nikon when I shot Canon.
We went on a paintball photography jaunt. (we were photographing friends paint balling) While trying to avoid our cameras being painted we hid behind adajacent trees and took a telephoto of each other for fun.
For many years I cherished his photo of me. The wife thought it was the best she had seen....I thought it was far better quality than my Canon produced.
Until one day recently we had cause to open that photo album in his presence. I remarked how that photo was instrumental in me changing to Nikon when digital came along.
He told me he still has the photo I took of him framed on his wall. Both he and his wife felt it was the best quality photo of him or anything they had ever seen.
Not sure where I am going with this rabbiting ...except to say, sometimes the rose garden you are in IS really perfect to look at....you just have to smell the roses as well.
