A word of warning in advance: Using a small camera like the Nikon D7000 and a diminutive lens like the Nikkor 45mm f/2.8 P makes fat photographers look fat!
Another weekend over, another lens review due. This time around, I’m discussing the Nikkor 45mm f/2.8 P pancake lens. (more…)
21 years later, "Ampelmännchen" sells souvenirs and chotchkes very well, thank you
I think we Germans are the only people where a traffic light sign is identity-proving for one third of the population. Plus, it’s likeness, the “Ampelmännchen” is very successfully pandered to tourists from the western federal states of Germany who visit east german cities like Weimar to drink from the fountain of german cultural identity (Goethe, Schiller) and gawp at their poorer countrymen. Wake up, sheep!
The Camera as Lens Attachment: D7000 on Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED AF-S VR II, tripod foot removed, Sun Sniper Strap attached to tripod socket
26th November 2010: Updated: Added resolution at f/4.0 shots.

As of now, the Nikon D7000 is the top-of-the-line APS-C DSLR
Ok, a weekend of intensive but practical tests with the new Nikon D7000 is over, time to draw some conclusions. November 17th, 2010: some corrected impressions added, especially regarding RAW file conversion!(more…)
Got my first new DSLR in a few years yesterday, a Nikon D7000. Here are some first impressions from trying it out around the house, testing the user interface and an image example at ISO 6400. (more…)
