As part of the WPPI Nikon series…

It’s 2:30 am, and we’re just getting off the Airhorns & Lasers Party at the Wynn Hotel, so let me cut to the chase.

The Nikon 24mm f1.4 if just creamy and beautiful and everything it’s been built up to be. You Nikon Professional Services card holders…. get on the list so you can snag one up right away come April when they release it to the public.

Fast. Shallow DOF that can’t be beat. No wacked-out stretched + distorted edges. Crisp as a Tim Cascade’s Jalapeno Chip.

The folks at Nikon trusted me with this baby tonight, and we slapped ‘er on a fabulous D700, and loaded ‘im with a Sandisk Extreme Pro 16gb UDMA

When you’re talking fog and lasers and red vinyl walls, you know you’re gonna be up in the range of “Snarky,” a.k.a. ISO 5000. Yes, the D700, like the D3 and D3s, sees in the dark.

Night y’all! I have a 6am wakeup call…. because after all, there’s WAY better things to do in Vegas than sleep, right? right? right? More to come tomorrow!

p.s. thanks Barbie and Rebecca. You guys are my homies, yo.
