It was born in the period of Nikon's transition to digital (3/4 years earlier they had stopped producing the F5, instead the F6 was produced until 2020 as well as the 50 1:1.2 AI-s which was discontinued in 2015), and is to be considered the younger sister of the D3. With the latter, the aim was the professional photographer, with the D700 also for them, but above all for the advanced amateur. I got the idea that it can also be used for professional services, or to have as a second body, but the lack of the second memory card slot makes it a riskier choice when used for commissioned work (and just to give an example: a wedding cannot be rescheduled in case something goes wrong with the CF). For the rest, the sky is the limit! You just need to know how to adjust it a little bit and you get beautiful files in both color and black and white. I recommend the use of all AF-D lenses which, in my opinion, give their best with the D700 sensor. Its 12Mpx are more than enough to make prints even of considerable size. The biggest one ever made was a 4x3 or so, and I think this is its limit even to have good sharpness up close. I have always recommended it, and I will continue to do so, because with little money you can take home a nice full-frame (and the advantages of this format are indisputable compared to the Aps-C) very robust, with the tropicalized body, a built-in flash, it has an infinite number of lenses to match (which are all the F-mount lenses produced by Nikon from the 50s onwards), It is very intuitive and allows you to take beautiful photographs even for those with little knowledge. It's definitely not the right machine for: those who are looking for megapixels, but never print; those who want to photograph in the evening as if it were during the day, without using flash or long shutter speeds; those who have not yet understood how to use ISO, apertures and exposure; those who want to get that "sharpness" to compete with AI; those who have problems with the muscles and perceive 1kg as if it were 2; those who think they have to or are used to cropping heavily. I leave you a link to a personal project made 99.99% with this camera and two lenses, the 35 AF-D f/2 and the 85 AF-D f/1.8: https://www.ioanpilat.com/portfolio/diari/ In any case, the vast majority of the photos on my site are taken with this camera. sent on February 09, 2024 |
