Tony, if this is your new camera, it's doing a very good job.

Thanks fellas! Galen, it IS the new camera. Getting used to the lens...
...The previous set-up was a Nikon D300 with 18-200mm VR lens. With that lens and a 60mm Micro Nikkor I could get F stops of up to f/45.
The new one is also a VR (vibration reduction) lens but not quite the same stop-down ability. Everything else (FX format & platform) is superior to the D300's DX format.

a wealth of information hey Tony......thank you for your transparency on equipment.....it`s just a part of the process ....... skill and intuitive knowledge are absolutely essential for results such as these...
...nothing will overcome the time-honored spray-and-pray technique as the default shooting method..... but it pays to know what equipment the heavy hitters are using....:D.
when you went from a cropped frame,to a full frame camera,was it a "no going back" experience?

Well put! Yes, no going back. I cut my teeth on full frame...
..35mm film Nikon cameras, F4 and F5's and this D610 is as intuitive as those big, heavy hitters.
