I
innocent
I am now walloping with excitement of owning a d2h+ the WT-1a (to decorate it). After a set of test shots using the 28-70AFS, I certainly can't fault this piece of equipment. Colour rendering is superb, response time -exactly like my F5 and to my surprise, it has got the interval timing which my MF-28 offers. A very competent camera indeed.
Agreeably, it will be unlikely that I will derive any economic benefit from the d2h in the forseeable future, but the joy of owning another toy to play with justifies the purchase. Furthermore, I'm already handicapped by my inexperience in photography, so I have to mak it up to some extent with a better equipment, I presume. I don't want to spend my time manipulating images in photoshop but to have them, as much as possible, composed and processed in-camera( excluding sharpness)- just as you will do when shooting chromes.
I quite liked your comment regarding the "terminally anal twit", however if one is building a portfolio for stock libraries, my experience is that they carry loopes in their pockets to examine submitted images.
I have just tried to upsize an un-compressed NEF image derived from the d2h using a dedicated upsizing software, to about 220% yeilding about 66mb file size. At print size viewing, there's hardly any difference to the original image(without a loope) but when zoomed to the actual pixels the difference between them becomes very obvious; the upsized image has suffered a loss of its sharpness and contrast among others. Is there a better software than GFractal PrintPro which I also find very slow?
