The D800E

2. Adjusting Aperture for Visually Complex Subjects

With cameras like the D800E, which are suited to visually complex subjects, it is important to get as much sharpness from the lens as possible. Contrast at the periphery of the im- age can generally be increased by choosing an aperture two or three stops from the maximum, although results will vary from lens to lens. Below are some of the lenses you can use for enhanced sharpness:

AF-S NIKKOR 14–24mm f/2.8G ED

AF-S NIKKOR 24–70mm f/2.8G ED

AF-S NIKKOR 70–200mm f/2.8G ED VR II

AF-S NIKKOR 16–35mm f/4G ED VR

AF-S NIKKOR 24–120mm f/4G ED VR

AF-S NIKKOR 200–400mm f/4G ED VR II

AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G ED

AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G

AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G

AF-S NIKKOR 200mm f/2G ED VR II

AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II

AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8G ED VR

AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4G ED VR

AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR

AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED

AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED

The D800E offers better resolution at apertures where dif- fraction (page 13) is not an issue. The effects of aperture may therefore be more noticeable than with the D800, and care may be required to avoid loss of definition due to diffraction.
