Mike, you deserve a weekend off, enjoy, and if you are sick get well.

Unfortunately...
...The staff is still significantly under the weather, so we're going to give the slacker the weekend off. But we'll be back first thing Monday morning. See you then, and hope you have a great weekend. TOP Dept. of Mostly Human Resources
Mike, excellent essay as usual. A code of life we can all live by. But oh so hard to do. Thanks for your words of wisdom, hope you feel better tomorrow. Eric

Get It Done While You Can
A reader/friend-I've-never-met just wrote to me this morning. He's over the moon about a fabulous print he just had made from a scan by a particular service bureau. It had him talking like he's solved the problem of getting prints made from his archive of 35mm negatives. Maybe. My advice, from ...
Mike, take care of yoursellf. We would be lost without you. Maybe you should back a way from your coffee a bit, and you might feel better. I love coffee as well, but too much is not a healthy. More Coleman and less time in front of a computer. Eric

Blog Note
I didn't mean to bring the good conversation of yesterday to a screeching halt, but, on the advice of my doctor's nurse, I spent last a good chunk of last evening in the ER...which is an interesting place, with nice people. The problem with it, I've decided, is that a) when you're there you're e...
Mike, love your blog and follow it every day. I am also a d800 shooter. I own or have owned most of the lenses on the recommended list, including the 85 and 35 1.4 g models. My favorite lens bar none is the 24-120 f 4 gold ring model. I sold my 24-70 f2.8 after I did some personal testing. This lens along with the 50 is my favorite travel companion, my wife excluded.

*Or, How I Spent My Weekend Vacation Testing Raw converters: this is ACR 7 with Process Version 2012 So I didn't actually get a lot of work done on the weekend. I spent my extra time happily playing with Raw converters and B&W conversions. (My current take on D800 black-and-white in a nutshel...
Mike, you will love the camera. I have had mine since spring and have approximately 5000 clicks on it so far. I generally shoot with a 24-120 or the 28-300 and like them both. The camera makes the whole process easy and you will love the images. Please post your progress with the camera as well as images, as you move along. Good luck. Eric

Final Verdict: The Nikon D800E and AF-S 35mm f/1.4G Lens
Last post in this saga. I ain't the biggest gearhead in the sandbox, but I do know the territory pretty well. For 25 years I've deliberately made it a point to experience a wide variety of cameras of most types: I've tested dozens of cameras, owned dozens of cameras, and seen and handled litera...
Mike, I have both the lenses you referred to the 35/1.4 and 85/1.4, and love them both; however, when I got the D 800 (no E), I also purchased the 28-300 lens. I have to tell you that is a terrific lens, and generally the one I carry with me when I shoot. Especially when I go out to the woods to shoot nature and such. I would strongly recommend the lens on the d800 or d800E. You wouldn't be disappointed.

D800E Haptics
First, get a load of this: Thom Hogan reports that although the Nikon Contest 2012-13 is now open, users of the only premium film SLR still being marketed, the Nikon F6, aren't invited. Oh, perfidy! Film is officially the poor stepchild now, I guess. Before it was just de facto. An awesome (ove...
Mike, thanks, this was an inspiring article. I have been struggling with several themes this past year and nothing has hit, but I feel better knowing that I am not alone in not finding the "perfect"theme. Eric

Shooting to a Theme
What follows is purely empirical and an educated guess—meaning, it might be wrong. But: my sense, gleaned from years of working for and with photo hobbyists and enthusiasts and observing dedicated photographers and artists, is that photographers in general are happiest when they shoot to a theme...
Mike, good luck with the diet, I have been struggling with weight loss for several years now. I will say, that long walks are the best, just carry a camera, and enjoy the late summer weather. and get exercise at the same time. It does help. Eric

Personal Confession
I know this isn't a personal blog, and I don't fill it with private revelations about my life, but you might possibly have noticed a hopefully very subtle shift in my behavior and apparent equilibrium of late. I began a Draconian medically-administered liquid weight-loss diet about four weeks ag...
