Tai kor tai kor sekalian already input poison.

Yes, indeed I'm looking for 85mm 1.4
xandman, 135 will it be too far for portrait ?

Well, some how I get used to 85mm range. I shoot wedding using that

Too bad, local store don't have 85mm f1.4 for testing purpose. 135 and 105 DC also don't have. Have to order.

PMed you that time and you mentioned that you'd help check and get back to me... or did I get the wrong person.

Maybe need to sleep early tonight and get some much needed rest.

Will 85mm too long? What is the diff using 85mm and 70-200 other than the size? HE! He! He! I know... I know... this is a stupid question. But does it justify to caugh out RM3k+ for 85mm f/1.4 when u already have 70-200?

Guys... I am selling the whole of my R1C1. Any interested party?

Worth it or not, its a subjective question. Its a good camera, to say the least. I think you can get it for RM4,500-4,800 these days. You can find used units for below RM4k.

1) Is it worth buying the D300?

You should ask yourself what features of the D300 that attracts you, and that you would put to good use. Then you can answer that question yourself. For me, I am happy with the D90 and didn't see the need to pay the D300's price.

2) Friend's photos in facebook that's damn nice...

Any camera can take good photos. It's the photographer that takes good photos... not the camera. Buying the D300, D700, D3 or D3X won't guarantee your photos will be damn nice.

well, he does get bragging rights if he gets a D3 or a D3X.

Other than that, Darthbaboon is correct.
