Nikkor 50 1.4G as shot on Nikon D750 and Nikon D7000 Comparison

I've owned the D7000 for quite a long time, and this Spring I bought the D750. The full frame experience is pretty great thus far. I've taken photos I couldn't have dreamed of taking. The camera certainly doesn't take the photos, but for nailing lighting and having an excellent dynamic range, it can't be beat my many, yet. Some new camera with a better sensor is in the works I'm sure.

While shopping for my first full frame camera, I always wanted to know what the size difference was with photos between the two. I've seen the frame comparison multiple times, but never really with the same lens and the same subject. This is going to be a comparison like that. I made 6 shots with each.

Nikkor 50 1.4G

125 @ f1.4 ISO 100
160 @ f1.4 ISO 400
200 @ f1.4 ISO 800
250 @ f1.4 ISO 1600
400 @ f1.4 ISO 3200
1000 @ f1.4 ISO 6400

I know these are not the optimal combinations for the ISO and lighting, but it ensures that both cameras were nearly the same. I used Automatic Active lighting control on both cameras.

On to the pictures.

First, the Nikon D7000

Now, the Nikon D750

and one more D750 photo at its highest functional ISO, 12,800:

And there you have it. That's what you get out of the two different cameras with the exact same lens. I used a Vanguard Tripod with the exact same attachment so that I could position the cameras nearly the same.

Enjoy!
