guys, thinking to get a speed flash, kindly advice!!! thanks..

i dunno about 'speed flash', but i do know about Speedlight n flash
jkjk

budget? purpose? casual user or pro?
tell us more so can suggest

there's Nikon SB600 n SB900
3rd party got Nissin Di622 n Di866

Get nikkor flash better

AF-S 50mm F1.4G or AF 50mm F1.4D

which one would you guys choose??

lol.. ok.. sorry, newbie here..
hmm, casual user la bro.. budget around 1k..
wat do u thnk?

Perhaps a 2nd hand SB-800?

reviews said D is better than G at distortion n vignetting control
but overall not much difference in IQ i guess, unless pixel peep
G has fulltime manual override, quieter AF
D has faster AF using body AF motor
if me, i take D, rather save the xtra cash on other stuffs

Nikon SB600 is within your budget, Rm750-800
or as Mavik said, u can try 2nd hand SB800 which is better at Rm1k+

In regards to the 50mm D or G version, the G version is nice and is sharper wide open compared to the D version (based on my on personal experience). I am still using the D version, and I agree that AF is faster with it with body AF.

how about the price for SB-900? wat r the difference between 600,800 n 900? kindly advice.. thanks..

800+ since i bought it with the B+W CPL filter so got it cheaper, bought from Grade One Photo Solution

I always thought pairing AF-S lense with body with focus motor will give a faster focusing speed.

SB900 more than Rm1600, way off your budget, lol
SB900 is a replacement model for SB800, n its the most powerful flash for Nikon
SB600 is smaller n lighter with less power n no master, but for casual usage is more than sufficient
n i dun think so there's any more new stock for SB800

so finally got the MRC 1?
how much the filter only?

if u have FB account, this is official LR fans page. got tutorial almost every week

Yeah, impulsive buying, rm540

not all AF-S lenses r fast, if u're talking about 70-200 f/2.8 then its a different case

wow, aint that expensive?
Shashinki only selling at Rm475!
B+W 67mm Kaeseman (slim) CPL MCR rite?
