Nikon AF-S VR 70- 200mm f2.8G IF ED White Color

This innovative VR system minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, and offers the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed three stops (eight times) faster.* It allows handheld shooting at dusk, at night, and even in poorly lit interiors. The lens’ VR system also detects automatically when the photographer pans — no special mode is required.* As determined by Nikon performance tests. Nikon developed ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass to enable the production of lenses that offer superior sharpness and color correction by minimizing chromatic aberration. Put simply, chromatic aberration is a type of image and color dispersion that occurs when light rays of varying wavelengths pass through optical glass. In the past, correcting this problem for telephoto lenses required special optical elements that offer anomalous dispersion characteristics — specifically calcium fluoride crystals. However, fluorite easily cracks and is sensitive to temperature changes that can adversely affect focusing by altering the lens’ refractive index. So Nikon designers and engineers put their heads together and came up with ED glass, which offers all the benefits, yet none of the drawbacks of calcium fluorite-based glass. With this innovation, Nikon developed several types of ED glass suitable for various lenses. They deliver stunning sharpness and contrast even at their largest apertures. In this way, NIKKOR’s ED-series lenses exemplify Nikon’s preeminence in lens innovation and performance.

PC-E 24MM F/3.5D ED Nikon lens

MELVILLE, N.Y. (Jan. 28, 2008) – Nikon, Inc., today introduced the new PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED lens, the latest in a series of lenses that are equipped with a tilt/shift mechanism that enables photographers the flexibility to effectively manipulate perspective, distortion and focus. Whether photographing architecture, landscapes, interiors or panoramas, this Perspective Control (PC) lens easily corrects linear distortion and aberration to deliver images that more accurately reproduce the view as the human eye sees it.

 

 

NIKON’S NEW WIDE-ANGLE PC-E NIKKOR 24MM F/3.5D ED LENS“Nikon optical engineers successfully overcame a number of design challenges while developing a new 24mm Perspective Control wide-angle lens that delivers in a variety of applications and fulfills the needs of photographers whose work demands the type of image control that only a lens of this design can provide” said Edward Fasano, general manager for Marketing, SLR System Products at Nikon, Inc. “This lens represents a significant addition to the field-proven NIKKOR lens lineup and allows photographers to create images that would, in many instances, not be possible otherwise. Additionally, many photographers will appreciate the ability to more effectively correct images while shooting, significantly reducing the time required to correct images afterwards with image editing software.”

Typically, tilting the axis of a camera can result in a misrepresentation of perspective. A Perspective Control lens’ ability to fine-tune perspective and focus elements virtually eliminates these issues, an essential function for architectural and interior photographers.

The same features that make this lens excellent for architectural photography also provide nature and landscape photographers with an essential means to better control perspective, allowing them to capture nature’s beauty more accurately and naturally. Additionally, the 24mm PC lens enables professional product photographers to sight just the right shooting angles on reflective objects without capturing their own reflection in the process.

A special tilt/shift mechanism gives users up to +/- 11.5 mm shift and +/- 8.5-degree tilt for perspective control. When shooting with a conventional lens, some objects, such as tall trees and buildings, can be challenging to photograph due to rectilinear distortion and converging lines that warp perspective. The 24mm Perspective Control lens corrects this issue with convenient side-mounted controls at 1mm / 1-degree intervals that will adjust the focal plane with shift and tilt adjustments. The lens optics can also be rotated up to 90 degrees right or left for perspective control adjustment, while a click-stop is provided every 30 degrees. Importantly, photographers can see the effect of every adjustment accurately through their Nikon SLR viewfinder.

In addition to providing linear perspective correction, the new 24mm PC lens has unique characteristics that make it well suited for a variety of tasks and offers a wide angle-of-view combined with dramatic depth-of-field control potential, perfect for capturing stunning landscapes. To further control the image, users can quickly adjust aperture with a stop-down button, or with the aperture ring. These same characteristics also make the 24mm PC lens a great choice for close-up macro work, with a minimum focusing distance of 0.7 feet and the ability to fine tune focus with perspective control.

The PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED lens continues NIKKOR’s legacy of high-quality optics and durable design. It features the new “E” designation, which denotes an electromagnetic diaphragm that automatically controls aperture with the latest Nikon D-SLR cameras. Three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements provide superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration, while three aspherical lens elements minimize various types of lens aberration. In addition to the Nikon Super Integrated coating that delivers superior color reproduction, Nikon’s exclusive Nano Crystal Coat helps to virtually eliminate any remaining instances of ghosting and flare.

The PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED lens is the first in a new series of PC lenses being designed to meet the needs of photo professionals and enthusiasts. Two more PC lenses are currently in development and are scheduled to become available through Nikon authorized dealers during the summer of 2008.

The NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED lens is scheduled to become available through Nikon authorized dealers in the U.S. in spring 2008 for an estimated selling price of $1929.* For more information, please visit www.nikonusa.com.

Combined with the Silent Wave Motor technology and Internal Focusing system, the
AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED-IF provides handling characteristics that better enable superior close-up photography. The SWM provides fast, quiet and accurate autofocus performance and Nikon’s Internal Focusing (IF) design further enhances AF performance, while also allowing photographers to manually focus quickly and smoothly. Internal Focusing (IF) also eliminates rotation of the front lens element, making it more convenient to use rotating polarizing filters as well as the Nikon Wireless Close-up Speedlight System. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm opening allows out-of-focus background or foreground scene information to appear more natural.

Nikon’s exclusive Nano Crystal Coat and Super Integrated Coating produce superior color, while dramatically reducing ghosting and flare for superior image quality. An additional (Extra-low Dispersion) ED glass element minimizes chromatic aberration, allowing the lens to deliver stunning, high-contrast images while the use of two aspherical lenses help correct spherical aberration and coma, producing accurate image reproduction even at the widest aperture.

The AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED lens is scheduled to become available from Nikon authorized dealers beginning in March 2008 at an estimated selling price of $549.95.* For more information, please visit www.nikonusa.com.

hunting kecak dance di puri peliatan, ubud

kemarin 28 Februari 2008, aku diajak hunting kecak dance sama pak sanat kumara, teman di flickr dan bbc (bali blogger community). di peliatan kita juga ketemu temen baru dekno sama hadi yang sama-sama suka fotografi, juga maen di flickr dan bbc.

hanomankecak dance yang ini sedikit beda. bedanya hanya di start timenya. sedikit agak kemalaman menurutku. biasanya kecak dimulai subuh time, dimana cahaya alami senja masih memberikan keseimbangan sempurna bagi penari dan background sekitar. sehingga dengan kamera berlensa standard f/3.5 masih bisa main dengan exposure time yang masih terjangkau walau tanpa flash.

benar-benar big challenge. light situationya udah seperti benar-benar seperti malam yang gelap. hanya bersumberkan cahaya rangkaian obor di tengah-tengah stage. nyoba motret pake flash, tapi menurutku gak ada bagus-bagusnya. nyaris sama dengan hasil jepretan orang kebanyakan. padahal maunya bikin foto unik yang khas “gua banget”.

untungnya, sebelum berangkat masih sempet pinjam lensa f/1.8 nya deni (17june.com). cerita lama terulang, lensa nya canon, sementara kameraku nikon, ya sekalian pinjem sama kameranya. jadilah nenteng 2 kamera, nikon d70 dengan 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 plus speed light sb800 dan 40d dengan lensa 85mm f/1.8 – hanya fotografer sableng yang bawa-bawa dua kamera dari produsen yang berseberangan. tapi bagiku mah liat asiknya aja, keduanya powerful untuk tujuan tujuan tertentu. so, combine it and you got the best performance of photography equipments.

karena motret tanpa flash, ISO gua maksimalin abis, set to 1600. noise noise dikit gak apa-apa lah. yang penting konsep gua tercapai. liat di lcd kamera sih.. masih belum yakin dengan hasilnya. tapi setelah transfer ke pc, lumayan merasa senang juga. dari 100-200 shot, ada 10-15 foto yang bisa dipakai. maklum situasinya extreme banget – very low light situation dan fast moving object.

credit: thanks to dental for the f/1.8 lens, 77 for the canon 40D body, pak sanat for the information about this and the transport.

hasil jepretannya bisa dilihat di account flickr ku: http://flickr.com/photos/impworks

Nikon D300, my dream camera

nikon d300Nikon D300 adalah kamera profesional kelas menengah. satu level di atas kamera DSLR (D40-D80) entrance dan selevel dibawah kelas profesional (D1-D3). D300 merupakan pengembangan D200 pendahulunya. Tetapi pengembangan featuresnya melesat jauh hampir mendekati D3 (kecuali tidak full frame). Sehingga D300 sering disebut-sebut sebagai adiknya D3.

Bagi saya, Nikon D300 adalah bener-bener kamera profesional. Tidak ada scene mode (seperti di kelas-kelas entrance DSLR), juga tidak ada tombol mode otomatis! Beginner akan kesulitan dengan gadget ini. Juga tidak ada features flash akan nongol otomatis saat low-light.

Tetapi jika kamu tahu apa yang akan dibuat dan apa yang harus dilakukan, Nikon D300 adalah alat yang sangat tepat untuk mewujudkan imaginasimu. Nikon D300 dapat melakukan banyak hal. Dia akan melakukan penyesuaian ISO dengan sempurna, menemukan detail secara akurat di dalam bayangan (shadow), dan melacak keberadaan subjek sekalipun dia berada di luar focus area.

My experience with Nikon 70-300mm VR

70-300mm_vr.jpgintroduction:

nama lengkapnya AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED.

Nikon Vibration Reduction System
SLR Advanced Nikon engineering has given rise to a compact lightweight lens design that offers outstanding optical performance and excellent handling characteristics. The new Nikon Vibration Reduction (VRII) system enables users to take substantially sharper handheld pictures at slower shutter speeds. With the new VRII system, users can take sharp pictures at shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower* than would otherwise be possible. For VR shooting, users can select two VR modes to match shooting conditions. Normal Mode primarily reduces camera shake in handheld shooting, detecting panning automatically. Active Mode can compensate for vibration when shooting from, for example, a moving vehicle.

Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED Nikkor lens
The AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED also offers proven Nikon features and technologies such as the SWM, which offers fast and precise autofocusing with super-quiet operation, and two ED glass elements that provide higher resolution and high-contrast images. Together with the AF-S DX 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED lens, it gives Nikon digital SLR owners a focal-length range from a wide 18mm to super telephoto 300mm (the picture angle is equivalent to 27mm to 450mm of 35mm format).
