LOL, that is what I call real losers . Said nego, but then kutuk others. But then again, you didn't give stupid offers like 1.5k or something right?

It is the best selling model from Nikon! At its time la, D7000 will probably overthrow the D90 sales. But D90 really gave Nikon a sales boost.

I use Demb. Versatile, but nowadays I'm kinda lazy to put the Demb on my flash LOL.

SB900 diffuser? Its works like a Stofen. But waste a lot of power if you bouncing to ceiling. Yesterday I was at an event with a lot of uncles killing their SB900 LOL. Put the diffuser and bounce to the ceiling of a ballroom to shoot runway. I keep hearing the high temp warning sound then after that lesser flash already LOL~

SB900 battery pack is about RM1k if not mistaken. But with that pack, it would be 1s for 1/1 power

Haha looks ok to me .

Yeah, a lot SB900 had the thermal cut. Those uncle really cute hahaha! High ceiling, then bounce to the top. Got another photog even cuter, he shoot low in front of me. But his flash is bounce to the back, BOUNCE TO ME. -.-... Use me as a bounce sia.

Haiya, didn't say lah. Damn cartoon that person.

Btw, spam a bit.

No choice, was shooting wide open. Even at f/2.8 also can't get both focused.

If Nikon says 4 stop, that is VR II. 3 stop -> VR.

Favorite model from yesterday's event

I burst a lot with my SB900 during runways, but never did read the thermal cut before. Heck even when the temp doesn't go to the middle bar .

During the event where I shoot the bridals, many SB900 reached thermal cut. Those uncle was like putting stofen and bouncing to ceiling/backwards. LOL, its a ballroom man... So it depends how you use it.

Added on November 8, 2010, 8:34 amDon't bother the WB much since the color tone is processed. The white balance is pretty screwed up, I'm too lazy to be touching one by one as there's 2 lights at the back with 3 different color. Blue, green and red at the models and it keeps changing like disco light ._.

My flash is set to TTL-BL -2EV direct flash with AN-1 color temp gel for the warm environment ambient lighting.

Yeah, for this event I'm doing direct flash. I'm using 70200 and the models is quite a distance from me so I'm quite safe with direct flash. No point wasting flash power since I'm shooting zoom instead of wide angle.

This is the part that ticks many people off when SB900 came into market. Most SB900 overheated due to wrong usage ._.

^ those normal disposable batteries don't overheat much because their cycle rate is slower compared to rechargeable. Try it yourself. Time the 1/1 flash power recharge rate and compare between disposable and rechargeable.

Haha agreed, unless you bump up ISO to compensate for the aperture loss. Then it would be more or less the same ;-)

If it arrives tomorrow, then yes! Need to hunt for filters, this Heng quoted me RM270 for Hoya HD and RM3++ for XS-Pro.

I use that too, but sometimes I go up to ISO1600, and I'm using f/2.8 .

Yeah, RM4600 for the 85mm. Lens like this I don't quite dare to do postage actually haha. Prefer to see the unit, then pay and grab it. But for other smaller stuffs like filters I don't mind getting it from postage xD.

Last I know, price is about RM250 for Hoya HD and RM300 for XS-Pro. Anywhere else giving better offers?

Enough exposure 3200 ISO not too bad geh.. haha!

Sure smaller the aperture, the more DOF you can. Some lens the more you step down the sharper it gets, but that is until certain sweet spot. After that diffraction kicks in and also sharpness deteriorates. Your photo, the flower appears to be soft :S.

LOL... 70200 35 50? All the primes and pro zoom wor... haha!

My lens so far all doing great wide open, maybe only complain a little on the 50mm f/1.8D. Not as sharp as the other 2 wide open. Although the 1635 isn't exactly that 'wide' open haha. It is just a f/4.
