The new Nikon super wide is on my wish list. It will be used on the Canon FF via convertor. I know I will loose autofocus, but I do not need that. In fact, I dun even need f2.8. That's why I ask them to produce one with smaller aperture, but price cheap cheap la... if possible RM2000 or less....

I believe 5D + Nikon 14-24 + converter are still cheaper than D3

I had never see that lense nor has chances to try its performance.

Does anyone know who in Malaysia has that lense? Hope can give it a try...

By the way, I just found out that there is no one in Malaysia that has bought the old EF1200 f5.6 USM L.

Who got that?

For me, the 105mmVR is difficult to use.
I tried to take macro and potrait...
Both will shake. Danger!!!
So, the VR is very helpful to minimize it if you want hand held.

Nice lens to get, very sharp and future proof as well especially if you intend to move to a full frame camera. I wonder if Nikon will come out with a model to compete with the 5D price range. Good to have a cheaper alternative compared to the D3.

I would say Nikon sure will... but I believe it depends on how low the price Sony willing to sell Nikon the CMOS sensor... If the sensor already US500 each... that hard to have cheaper model like 5D la...

Sony tends to reduce their prices after a while from my experience last time when we ordered their CCD's for video camcorder but again it depends on the number of units. Since the D3's production capability is around 8k-9k a month, then their volume isn't high enough to command that of a cheaper price. With another introduction of a 5D challenge model, it would give Nikon a way to increase the volume but then again, it would take a while for prices to drop.

That is true. But if just wanna use the 60mm, then the 50mm f/1.8 or 1.4 might be more suitable?

Joseph Hahn

Feb 12 2008, 02:32 AM

The 60mm is a macro lens which means the magnification is still 1:1 despite the shorter range.

With the 50mm you'll have to get extension tubes/close-up filter to achieve that.

Frankly for product shoot using macro lenses, its easier to have a longer focal length especially when you are working with multiple lights. Getting too close might be difficult if you have large softboxes and your camera and body is getting in the way.

Brother, you need to know the exact lense you want...

If your heart is with 105mm and you buy 60mm now becuase of budget... Then 6 months later regret, resell the 60mm for lost and buy back the 105mm only...

You need to know what you want... That's the most important thing... And avoid mistake in buying lenses, especially new lenses that will lost the most.
