Re: Not Trains: Camera of Choice

I just bought my first digital camera. Nikon d600 but, I still like the photos from my hasselblad 501cm and film too! It works well for slow moving trains. Why? The zeiss lenses have higher contrast and are really sharp which make the photos snappy and crisp. Their coatings are more forgiving for shooting into the sun. I have gotten some awesome photos with it while my d600 just couldn't perform. But my hasselblad isn't as fast so d600 I use for sports and kids! Mostly I use and I love my d600 now. Produces decent photos at ISO 6400. I got a $50 lens from goodwill auctions and it works well. I love nikon because I can use lenses from the 80's, & 90's when I'm on a budget and sacrifice a little bit of speed. I also use a 300mm manual focus Ed lens I got for a few hundred dollars. I can use it really well when shooting something from faraway. I have seen some incredible photos shot from an early generation DLSR that shot in JPEG only too. I want more sensitivity and the ability the handle a higher dynamic range than more MP. The ability to shoot handheld, at night, at chama with no blur and low degeneration would be awesome.
