New in the D90 family...

Last saturday i decided not to wait longer and go for it.
Wanted a new telezoom and knew wich one.
Sunday we went to belgium(well just) to look and maybe buy one.
It was in perfect shape.

So sunday night we went for a test spin at Beekbergerwoud.
Below one of the walk.

Well....it's big, it's hardly fits in my bags and people can't ignore it when i want to do streetphotography...but!
I am very very very happy with it because the images it takes are excellent. At my budget the best i could get.
Nikon ED 80-200mm 1:2.8 AF-D

My friend...

It has been a while since i posted here.
Holiday is over, went to germany, Cochem. maybe upload some pic's later on.
Visited a zoo, to bad light was really hard that day.
yesterday i went for a late shoot to ''Beekbergerwoud''
The above is a shot of my friend Remy. We had 20 minutes there and i made some nice shots!!

I have sold some stuff, 6 analogue camera's. I mostly shoot analogue with my F100 so the rest was just sitting in a box except for the F601 wich i did use wit a m42 lens attached. The buyer will pick it up in a couple of weeks.
What do i want. Well i am in search for a Nikon 80-200 1:2.8 D Push Pull version, the second af incarnation. I cannot effort the 2 ring versions nor the 70-200 vr versions. So it is the best deal and should blow my 70-210 1:4-5.6 away.

On loan i have a nice Mamiya 645 with 80mm 2.8. Comes with ae prism finder and waistlevel finder. Hell what a machine. In Cochem i was given Ilford xp2 400 asa 120 roll film(4 pieces), so firts shots are made.The film is 12-2004, so very expired! But for learning an test quite alright. I know what the machine can do because i met and follow the owner on Flickr and he now has a blog.
be nice and visit him and view his terrific work:

Well will post some work also soon, have loads to show so have to make a small selection.

Some Leica Digilux 1 shots....

Some shots taken with my Leica Digilux 1.
Some are not processed, some have seen Photoshop.

---

 processed with color efex 4


out of camera jpeg with saturation set to low in picture control


black and whitepoint  set in Photoshop


conversion in Photoshop and levels to make it less grey

Well, what can i say. This camera is quite nice, off course 3.8 mp and a old ccd is obvious inferior to the D90 or EP-1, but.....
it looks ow so nice, even a bit analogue in the colors on some shots. Therefore a keeper for me.
