Thanks Ross!
It is an amazing camera. It has relatively reasonable Ha response as well. Not as good as a modded camera but better than I expected.

This was 70mm using the wonderful Nikon 24-70 F2.8 ED lens which is one of their pro lenses. I use it a lot. It has superior coatings and gives a fantastic rendering to images. Its almost as good as a prime.
What I am also now discovering is it has really low chromatic aberrations compared to other lenses. There are 3 main Nikon pro lenses often regarded as the holy trinity - the 14-24mm F2.8, the 24-70 F2.8 and the 70-200mm F2.8ED. Canon has excellent equivalents except for the 14-24 at this stage although I read that they were developing one which is exciting for Canon owners. There are adapters that let you use Nikon lenses on Canon cameras so its no problem that way. I have one. Its made by Novoflex. A bit expensive but very well made.
