Subject:OT -- a question -- Re: Nikon D800 test with 16mm and 10.5mm

Thread:


So as mirror-flap becomes a problem to overcome -- how does that reflect on mirrorless cameras as a possible avenue for reducing that particular problem?

In my earlier post I mentioned that I just got one a week ago.. So I've been shooting several lenses just to see what I get but all in the studio ....a controlled environment .. I'm honestly surprised.. and not in a positive way. At this point I'm seeing that it's not just the lens that's important but also what were shooting it off of.. On what I thought was a half way decent tripod with slower shutter speeds mirror slap is showing up.. or I think it is.. as when I bump up the shutter speed, shoot off something that I know is really solid or lock the mirror I get a different image as far as sharpness goes.. 
> At this point non of any of this is really surprising me.. I read all the hype just like the rest of us did and am still trying to work thru it. Anyway for this  guy I think we have to deal with more then just a lens choice.. I feel holding the camera still needs to come first.
