35mm f/1.8G would be better

That lens I think most of us needs to break the piggy bank for it haha!

I guess he wants a 50mm badly, but IMO a 35mm f/1.8G would suite a crop sensor better though.

It is a prime, sharper, lighter and has better contrast compared to the zooms especially those kit lens.

If next trip to Melaka I'll join provided I'm back at Msia by then. We've a photography community based in Melaka as well too.

I think you might have to send it back to Nikon Service Center to check on the AF calibration. Try with another lens to see if the AF is spot on or not.


Using it on TTL is like using auto mode .

I think it should be written in the manual of D5000 that the camera actually heats up when taking 720p and only last for like 15 minutes? Cause I remember seeing that in D90. So to those whose buying DSLR mainly for the HD feature should instead get a camcorder.

How many times I've used my video recording/live view also less than 10 times LOL~!

Not bad, I prefer this compared to the original. Original looks unexposed on my screen.

Seems like OOF or maybe it was intended?

Are you referring to those pics with sharp subjects, but blurry backgrounds?

That works for MF? I thought it is only an indicator when the AF has been done.

The indicator lights up when you've manually focused?

What is the longest interval between shots if you to use a timer? Longest I could get is setting CL to 1fps, but if I were to want a longer interval like 5s or something, possible? Just being curious.

Zoom in and out is for further range, when you shoot at 105, the flash zooms to 105mm, meaning it'll be able to reach further but not as much coverage like 18mm or so.

One thing I don't understand is that, my zoom moves around when I bounce to ceiling :S.

Something I always forgot to confirm with my friends, anyone here with a SB900 can check if the flash zooms in and out when flash is set 90 degree facing top for bouncing ceiling?

I know the smaller nissin locks the zoom when bouncing ceiling. Mine only does that when I pull the card out or putting the diffuser.

Di622 if not mistaken locks the zoom when facing directly upwards.

If you want it to be converted to JPEG to look exactly what you see in the LCD, use ViewNX/CaptureNX. If use Lightroom/Photoshop, it'll just guess the settings and not the exact settings.

I use a Flipside 400AW, but I think its too bulky. Thinking to get a 6 Million Dollar Home when I want to travel light with just body and the flashgun.

Cheap! Only if it is for Msia set. If grey set, I'm not too sure what is the pricing like.

LOL, that time you need to set like a maximum amount of participants already .

You don't have warranty covered in Malaysia for the body. Need to pay a price for 'buying the warranty'. But the all Nikon lens are international warranty.

How long does it take to do sensor cleaning?

Hoya HMC UV(0) is a good filter. But not until RM200 pricing. Even 77mm goes for RM95 only.

Wait, I checked with my source 77mm HMC UV(0) goes for RM160 now :s.

The way aperture is measured for example this lens 50mm f/1.8. It means that the aperture size is 50/1.8 which is 27.78mm opening. Which is wider/bigger than 50mm f/3.5 (14.28mm).
