'so did I'
So they have merely removed the antialias effect of the UV/IR filter?
I didn't notice any info on shaker systems in the D7100 camera spec and wondered if it had been removed it (which on reflection I suppose would be a retrograde step). I guess the modified filter is likely to have the same 'bunny attraction coefficient'.
That is my take Eric, you can't just remove the LPF/Vis pass filter because unless you are using a zero shift lens like the Nikkor 105 UV then the image will be contaminated with UV and IR information that will be out of focus and of course it will contaminate the colour contrast of the image for a start.
Not causing the LPF to slightly blur the image which I think they do by briefly dipping in acid to create a ripple of micro lenses on one side should make it cheaper to produce, having taken at least one step out of the process of creating the filter.
Does this mean a D800E is on the horizon?
