hahaha..... it depends on how u define good lens....
for me, a good lens is depending on the IQ, focus accuracy, speed.. i am not sure how u define good lens..

-.-"
I am not rich at all and i got only very less gear... I am proud to say that i bought all my gears with my hard earn moneh.....

Cause i m shy....
No la... it's because the box is higher so that the lens is at the back there to be at the higher level so that can compare the bokeh details...

Hehehe.. Why not SB600...?
Faster recycle time, more accurate TTL

There are actually few Pros and Cons for both of the SpeedLite..
Zoom Flash between the both are, Nikon SB600 covers from 18-85mm while the Nissin Di622 covers from 18-105mm
Recycling power under full flash(1/1), Nikon SB600 rated at 2~3 seconds while the Nissin Di622 rated at 8~9 seconds
Flash power definitely Nissin Di622 is higher
Power consumption on Di622 is higher(Dry your AA battery faster)
Nikon SB600 have LCD panel for advance settings while Nissin Di622 only has basic TTL or Manual Flash control
Nikon SB600 supports Nikon CLS while the Nissin Di622 only supports off camera flash trigger with Manual Flash control
Nikon SB600 fells more solid comparing to Di622
Nissin Di622 have a built-in bounce card while the Nikon SB600 doesn't have
Nissin Di622 have a plastic hotshoe with screw tight mount which in my case, my fren broke it when i borrow him and it's an accident cause someone bump into him and the camera fell off to the floor while the Nikon SB600 have a metal hotshoe with a lock switch mount

This is all i can say about both the flash.. Anyone has more to say or correct what i wrote about both the SpeedLite are welcome..

Tried to PPed the hut to blend into the foreground brightness..?

Looks like if i sleep now, tomorrow i m gonna read thru few pages to get to the latest post or maybe a new thread d..... Lotsa ppl will spam pics d.... Hahahaha.......

I would suggest to use available light.. Cause shooting with flash only comes under extreme condition.. Portrait lighting will require much more speedlite rather than one... and this is merely my own opinions...

And regarding the SB900 speelite, how far the flash can reach is 18-200mm(rated)... Not too sure about the real life... Lol..

@Celciuz: Yes, the zoom features is about the focus of the light, nothing much more than that.. Power to light up background, u gotta look into strobist group and from there, u can learn lotsa stuff..

@Fabianz03: Flash during street photography is depending on how creative u goin to use the flash, there is no restriction with using flash under any condition.. U can see Joe McNally's work.. He is one of the portable strobist, using plenty of Nikon Speedlite, mostly SB800 and SB900..

@ongdandy: u still can find a way to play with ur flash, ISO800 isn't that bad, even my D40 is performing well under such ISO speed.. Yellowish or red might be your WB settings, try to play with it... And btw, u can solve ur flash problem by using

@fcuk90: u can use DFD and dun have to worry bout tilting ur flash head...

@fabianz03: no worries.. just sharing knowledge around the forum...

@Faint: This is DFD... It does explain..

@fcuk90: ur bounce card won't focus the flash power as much as the DFD... u can try to do your own version... do share it when u've done one... eager to learn..

Spam a pic for fun...

Yerp... Not as fast as 116 f/2.8... Lol.. But can be consider one of the sharpest 3rd Party UWA lens.. Been my workhorse for nearly a year..

can't recall... All i remember is i get it darn cheap.. Cheaper than retail price in Malaysia and that time, the non motor version is more expensive than mine...

looks abit burn, maybe too saturated d.. hahaha

Ur pics ISO are acceptable from my view... Maybe need some toning to get rid of the noise.. Should post some to let us see.. lol..

ISO 1250

Somehow i find that the spot light is quite distracting..... 2 sen saya sahaja
