Nikon D850

My wife finally received her new Nikon D850 after a rather long wait. She's been getting to know it better over the Christmas break and at my request, took a quick photo of one of my McIntosh MC75's. The result was most interesting. This image was taken in normal, after dark room lighting with no flash.



She was curious how the detail compared to her Nikon D800 and D810 so here's a crop from the above image showing one of the KT88 tubes. The bright white refections are the lights on our Christmas tree. You can see both of us staring at the camera preview at the top of the tube with the fan spinning overhead. The blue lights below the fan are my McIntosh blue meters reflecting off of the door to her studio on the other side of the den. The detail inside the glowing KT88 is remarkable for a non-flash, spur of the moment photo. Just before she took this shot, I grabbed my microfiber cloth and quickly wiped any visible dust off the MC75. Obviously, a microfiber cloth can't compete with the D850 as evidenced on the left of the tube base.



Anyway, thought it was an interesting view of the MC75 and worth sharing. I asked for more system photos after seeing this one and will post as soon as she will pay attention to me. She's too busy playing with her new toys.

For the record, I'm not a photographer - that's her job.
