Vilhelm got to attend an NPS event and play with lenses that cost more than old Porsches and also the new (low-cost) Nikkor 50mm AF-S f/1.4g lens and managed to take a few shots.
Unfortunately, there’s just no way to get a sense of how good the lens is from these shots. Some are saying (from [...]

Nikon / Nikkor 50mm AF-S f/1.4g Samples!
Nikon Euro Posts D300 Firmware Update – to 1.1
Presumably, the USA versions will follow. What’s the difference between the Euro versions and the USA, etc, versions? I’m guessing that the only actual difference is in the text translations (”localization”).
So if you learned French (or if you’re a native speaker) or you prefer “whilst” to “while”, then here’s your Windows and here’s your Mac [...]
Red to Announce 25mp DSLR / Video Body November 13th?
RED corp, founded by the guy who started Oakley sunglasses, had a cool idea a couple of years- make a digital video recorder that can use interchangeable lenses (even Nikon and Canon lenses with adapters) with quality as good as 35mm film and sell it for ($17,000) a whole lot less than normal professional movie [...]

dpReview posts a nice review of the Sony a900 and includes a wad of shots for comparison at the different ISO’s from 50-6400. But come on, it’s unfair to compare the D3/D700 sensor to anything else at high iso!
And while Sony’s clearly kicking ass and taking names in the megapixel race, it still isn’t up [...]
PC-E (Tilt/Shift) Nikkors In Stock!
I’ve been looking at getting a PC-E lens recently and they’ve been a bitch to find in stock.
Nikon tends to make the more advanced lenses in small batches- so when you see them, you want to JUMP on them (or wait 3-6 months sometimes- good luck finding a 200mm f/2, for example).
But right now, BHPhotoVideo [...]
