215 with the new logo

[Noel]

Hi Noel,

 

I have a Nikon D90. As for the lens it varies to be honest. The lens I would use most is my Nikkor 18-105mm, f4.5 as they would cover the majority of my photographic needs. But I do have a wide angle lens (great for interior photos) and a telephoto lens as well.

 

The lens I used for that shot this morning was my 35mm prime lens as the light was too bad for the 18-105 lens. If you click on the "I" (Info) button at bottom right of the picture you can bring up the exif data of that picture. So in the case of 215 it was

Thanks for the info. That's a really nice crisp shot for ISO 1600, and that 35mm 1.8 is a cracking good lens. The 18-105 is very versatile and not too heavy for travel. You have a fabulous library of railway scenes. Getting into a good position visa-vie early morning and late evening light must be tricky with limited access to rail side property. Love your shots.

Freshly repainted 215 was allocated to the 0700 Heuston - Cork this morning.

The ISO goes up to 6400 but I find the quality isn't great at 3200+ so I usually limit it to 1600. The D90 was replaced by the D7000 and that has ISO up to 25,600ISO!! (I feel an upgrade may be due ;) ) Of course I should add that the photos are reduced in size for the website.

Awe Please no 'Canikon' debates, lets leave that to the 'fan buoys' on DpReview

 

It's just like iPhone v Android - They are not a religion, just consumer electronics that will collect dust on top of a wardrobe soon enough. Seriously, which ever system folks start with is the one they tend to stick with because of lenses acquired along the way. Canon and Nikon are equals on the DSLR patch.

Canon? I just can't do it!

Oh, but it can.... Hints why me & some of my train spotting friends use canon, such as milepost98 & I use the EOS 1100D and Andrew uses the canon 50D I think.... :rolleyes:

You sure can!

Your canon 7D & 20D sounds nice!

I can tell you with a degree of technically informed certainty that the best camera is without doubt, the one in your bag right now and the one you know how to use right now. Be content with what you have and don't catch gearitis - its a plague that eats into railway modelling budget Snap away till it breaks.
