xandman

ifer
YL might be the best place to start.
or photomalaysia.com lah
xandman
thinking of getting a zeiss 50 1.4...
but...it's twice the price of nikkors...=(
ifer
you dont have to go for the best equipment u know.
a second hand 50mm 1.4 is only in the region of rm 400
how much is the zeiss?
xandman
hahahaha...i know...
but the problem is...
i dunno where to get cheap lense!
the zeiss 50/1.4 is....
2k...=)
ifer
rm 2000 for the zeiss?
waste money only lah

1. you won't be using it a lot. i mean this FM 2
2. unless films drop from the sky, if not, you will be complaining about how expensive films are.
3. unless you do a lot of black and white photography. not those colour negative technology black and white crap though. i am talking about those conventional black and white. even that, you might want to do the processing and printing yourself to get the most out from this lens.
4. you will be thinking that your d3 gives you better quality. so why bother with colour slides like the fujichrome velvia 50.
