Automotif CCLXXXIX...

Everybody is making an SUV these days, of course, even Italian manufacturers better known for sports cars.

Here's Maserati's Levante in Blu Passione...


...and in HyperGreen...


The green one was shot with the D800 & 24-120mm f/4 VR. The latter is one of my favorite "walking around" lenses; it's not too bulky, has a useful focal length range, and is sharp enough to use even on the D800 at normal shutter speeds.

The blue one was the D7100 & 16-80mm f/2.8-4E VR. This lens is basically the twin of the 24-120 for crop-sensor... "DX", in Nikon-speak ...cameras. (With its rugged magnesium shell, weather-sealing, dual card slots, and 24MP APS-C sensor, the D7100 was something of a scaled-down companion to the D800.)
