Haha, RM4300! More or less same pricing as the old lens leh.

You should not trust the LCD screen, best way to judge the image quality is through your monitor

Hahaha, I can't recall what settings I used back then too. But then again, venue is dark and I probably was relying to flash too much.

Come to think of it, I try to avoid using flash nowadays.

My this album, first 2 pics I think with flash. The rest went without flash lol, pumped ISO for it xD.

I used rear settings for PC Fair~

I use 16-35 f/4 VR during PC Fair... which is slower at the wide end compared to most kit lens capable of doing f/3.5 LOL~

I using wide angle leh... for PC Fair lol~

TTL flash~

Wala, you guys shooting at almost max power one ar ._. @_@.

Then the recharge how? Sure jialat leh like that.. slow recharge?

Something for you to try out, with your flashgun compare the recharge rate between alkalines versus nimh rechargeables. You'll be amazed .

SB900 out much more power mah lol~, but I think mine's about 4 seconds.

From my experience, rechargeables are much faster. NiMH retains higher current output as compared to conventional alkalines. You guys can try it out, the first time I used my SB900 I was using those duracell copper head. Recharge was pretty horrible, but after changing to Eneloop rechargeable, fuh damn fast!

True, but alkaline does not sustain 1.5v at load. Initially when I first started using flash, I have the same exact thoughts as you. My first set of AA batteries were alkaline (Duracell Copperhead), went event with my friend and was wondering how come my SB900 recharges slower compared to his. Both D90 + 18-105 + SB900. Only differences is the batteries.

After that when I got my set of Eneloop, the recharge rate is noticeable faster. Besides, using Alkalines the recharge rate get slower as the battery drains, where else nimh rechargeable are able to retain the recharge rate until almost depleted.

2 sets, 1 back up 1 in flash. Never ran through with 2 sets before LOL.

Reason I carry 2 sets is because I don't want to charge my battery half way... so use until finish, switch, use until finish switch...

Search around, there's a head on comparison between Eneloop and Imedeon before. Eneloop wins performance wise, capacity Imedeon. But the 100mAh is uh.. not significant.

Been reading reviews on the D3100, the sensor seems really great. Close to D700's ISO or maybe better @_@.

I use manual a lot after I start using fixed aperture lens xD. Cause much easier to control, zoom in and out no need adjust shutter speed ^^.

LOL... if you want to use manual for the sake of looking more pro, then I guess it is time you wake up.

Because, if the lighting condition is constant let's say my subject change from black to white it will throw off the metering. Means when my subject is more on white, it will go a bit under due to metering it to grey instead of white. If my subject is more to black, then my meter would try to meter it to grey thus overexposed.
