I spent a week in a very rainy Austria... I had just a couple of hours to take pictures in "Sunny conditions"... It was the first time I took my Nikon D3x with me for a journey. I had the 14-24/2,8 the 24-70/2,8 and the 70-200/2,8 VR in the bag... This camera is awsome... The functionality after using the D 700 for a while, feels like "getting home" in a certain way... The image quality is amazing... Specially the ability to "lift up" the shadows is fantastic... Even if I can hardly see any details in the shadows sometimes they can be recovered with a beautiful result... No more talk... Enjoy the pictures and please give me some feedback if you want...
