![]() This is the combination I will use in the future mostly for travel / streetshots. The Nikon with Tamron 24-70 2.8 – my standard glassĪ few days ago I also bought the beautiful Nikon 50mm 1.8g – and this combination rocks! It’s around 0.9kg (camera + glass) and this package fits perfectly in my hand. Since I use a blackrapid strap this is … lets say tolerable. It is a good lens but it is rather heavy and together with the camera I carry around aprox 1,7 kg. It is fast, steady, splash proof and a little bit cheaper than the Nikon 24-70 (which is not stabilized!). But first things first…Īt the moment I use the stabilized Tamron 24-70 2.8 as my “daily glass”. From this point of view – and as a conclusion before the end (spoiler), the D600 has the far better IQ with a much greater dynamic range and better colors – it is simply a class of its own. □Īs I said earlier I owned a Canon 550D before (which is the similar sensor to 600D, 60D and 7D) and everything I say is compared to those Canon-sensor (a very common one). So there are many pics in this review and not so many words. And I prefer making pictures rather of talking about the camera. I’m not a pixel peeper – I look at the image as a whole. I’m interested mainly in look, feel, usability and image quality. I will not cover the technical aspects as this was done by many sites on endless articles. This is a short review of the first weeks with the camera and the Tamron 24-70 2.8. It took me several days to convince my wife (luckily she is so satisfied with the first portraits I shoot that she loves the camera also – puh). So finaly the decision was: one day I would buy some full-frame-camera, perhaps a used 5D MK2 (even if its heavier and bigger).Ī little later the rumors about the Canon 6D and Nikon D600 came out and after a closer look onto the technical specs it became clear, that the D600 will be my next big love. On the other hand… I was impressed by the IQ the M9 delivers with its big sensor and the possibilities to play with the shallow depth of field even with not so fast glasses. The first idea: buying one of the small power packages like OM-D, Fuji X100 or X-Pro1 (I even thought about a Leica Digilux 2). On the other hand I saw the beautiful pictures, this sharpness, this detail, the small size (form factor) and I could not get this out of my mind.īut I knew that a Leica would never be affordable to me, so I needed a plan B… Then the day came when I visited your page and my first reaction to the whole Leica-stuff was: “Are you kidding? 5000 Euros for a camera which looks like from 1954?”. Once upon a time I was happy with my small Canon EOS550d (Rebel T2i). I follow a lot of blogs and sites to keep myself up to date or to simply dream a little bit and watch good pictures, like I do often with this site – dreaming about an M9 and enjoying the b/w pics.:-) Some years ago I started photographing and since that I’ve learned more every day. Some short informations about me: I’m from Germany, a 35-years-old amateur photographer (or enthusiast :-)). The Nikon D600 with Tamron 24-70 2.8 – Fullframe for the rest of us
