That looks like a very workable setup to me!

Ha, Tuco. You beat me too it! I have a very similar scene that I've driven by, but I haven't gotten around to photographing it yet. The light foliage sets of the dark truck nicely.

Thanks.

As another data point, I had to do something similar with my NX500 full-spectrum camera for the same reason and although the installation looks a bit clunky / funky, it works very well indeed:



Here's hoping the same proves true for you and your setup!

Well, that is good to know! The reviews said it works. Thanks for the additional confirmation!

Nice one! I have to laugh about the planter on the bumper!

I've tested a few Nikkor lenses with my Nikon D700.

AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED works great across the whole range of mm's and from wide open to f22. Past f11, it becomes diffraction limited though.
AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR works great across the whole range of mm's, but starts to get a hot-spot at about f8.
AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/4G ED VR - not tested yet.
AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR - not test yet.

I have a few older Sigma lenses I have not tested either.

Okay, I tested the 70-200 today. No hot-spots detected. Here is a shot at f/16:


f/16 : 1/25 sec : -4/6 EV : 200 ISO : 135 mm : VR on (handheld)

So, the lens I would use the most (the 24-70) has the most issues. I'll just have to keep it below f8!

Reprocessed one of the previous images.



I did get chased out to the park that day. Made it to my truck just before the rain started.
