Out of focus
Last year I bought a Nikon D300 with only 8400k shutter releases, I wanted a pro body for my Laowa macro lens. Because my Nikon D5300 doesn't recognize my fully manual lens, I'm not saying I can't use it but issue I have with it is that 1 I can't use my external flash and 2 it doesn't recognize my lens there fore I need to use the histogram and the Lcd screen to get a feedback of how the picture is exposed... but after a while I got used to it. But in a pro body ( like the D300 ) I don't have these issues because it recognises the manual aperture ( the lens mount is for nikon f mount ) and can get a somewhat good exposure feedback. As for the sensor... the d5300 sensor is better than the d300 but.... to be honest I don't really care, If I want more dynamic range I'd put the camera on a tripod and do HDR pics. Although the main reason I like the D300 more than the d5300 is because it has 12 mpx ( ironically ) because I want to perfectionate my stacking photography technique and 24mpx vs 12mpx.... It kills my pc with 50 picture stack my pc freezes and I got 16GB of ddr4 ram, It show me that it needs 20+ ram for 50 pics ( 12 mpx )... so that is why I use a 12 mpx sensor. Now.... I bought two lenses the sigma 70-200 f2.8 and the sigma 24-70 f2.8 ( the D300 and these two lenses was my childhood dream setup ).
The issues :
pfff the 70-200 f2.8 works good my D300, mostly getting the focus ok..... but sometimes it doesn't.... But I am used to focus manually ( I got used to it while doing macro pics.. again, my macro lens is fully manually )
The autofocus DOEN'T WORK ON THE D5300.... I mean I don't understand the logic why...
The 24-70 f2.8 on the d300... well it has autofocus, but I don't really know if I have a issue with lens of it is in conflict with the D300 but... it hunts allot and doesn't get the focus right ( if it even gets the focus right ) and for that reason I use it on manual focus ( the barrel distortion is terrible at 24mm (34 in aps-c)
The autofocus DOEN'T WORK ON THE D5300.... Again I don't understand the logic why...
So mostly I manually focus my shots, and in these scene I just did that. And I missed, The scene was beautiful but I missed the focus... oh well. But in every bad thing there is a good. and I imagine this pic as more a painterly-photo rather than.... well it is what it is the scene was beautiful. I must do it again someday. Thanks for the visit and have a nice day 😊
