bro, Di866mkII for SOny only beh..

i dunno why i always laugh hysterically whenever i see someone quoting Ken Rockwell..

yup, the sensor (physically) is Sony's but the engineer at Nikon are the one responsible on tweaking it to get all the juice from the sensor to max the performance..


u will look cool if u're using d40 but with Metz Mecablitz 54 AF-1 attached to it..
or u attach the Sigma 500mm in ur d90..
other effect depends on how u use the speedlight/lens..

the otai2 (old-timer) at Nikon knows how to tweak.. with years of experience mah.. the alpha850 sensor is equivalent to D3 sensor IINM..

still need to practice more on the software rather than the hardware yah Sony.. but the a580 is definitely have MORE functions that are improved from a550.. so this is like Sony is relying on the buyer to upgrade because of the new more-advance features, ie the night scene mode (the one u press the shutter and it'll take 6 continuous shots and stitch it to make 1 sharp picture, very2 useful when in low light condition without the use of speedlight)

i still uses my Alpha350 because its attached to the Minolta 50mm f1.7.. very2 superb lens!
the glass is soooo clear and the color damn accurate.. and dont start me on the 'beercan' (minolta 70-210 f4) yet..

but anyhow.. 'serious photographers' dont go for gimmicks stuffs?
owh okay.. this is VERY VERY VERY new to me..
so usually 'serious photographers' will go for better ISO control only? since i know that the amount of pixels doesnt really matter (i still do, even more after seeing those photos of 16mp getting cropped to 4mp to cuci2 and upload to facebook), and the magnesium ally body? and 7fps, or 52 focus point (which most people will use the center focus point anyway)? and what else? mind to share?

i personally read somewhere in the net, but my method is,
(IF u have a flashlight), i just give 1/1power and point it to the lens, put the flash head in front of the lens and fire away..
the heat from the flash will PROBABLY kill any 'growing' fungus..
no scientific facts to backup this but so far this method is what im using.. and so far, luckily no fungus yet..

i *LOL*ed back at ya..
FYI, 50mm f1.4 is FX lens.. can be use in Fx body and Dx body
but 50mm f1.8 is Dx lens if u use in Fx body will be cropped (the 'cut' askakita mentioned)


in macro especially... with magnification, its better (IMHO) to be in MF because u get to focus at the point that u intend to focus on..

aiyak mistaken it for the 35mm

:facepalm: die...

because i laugh to hard on ur "every lens can use in any lenses" then my mind blur2 type while laughing hahaha
but seriously.. i was so confident writing that (while laughing) ~~~~ damn...


some people call it "the best portrait lens"
but 50mm f1.4 when u use at f1.8 will be different with 50mm f1.8 used at f1.8..
dunno why.. mechanically un-explored (by me) yet..

"yaloh.. we dont have to open thread here mah.. everything we must try for ourselves..
what use listening to other if u dont know how to use it.."
okay sifu..

comment ur pic.. the first one for me (my n00b view) very nice color but the compo could be better by not cropping the left (right in pic) manequine to reveal it's body.. and sometimes the rule of third also doesnt need to be applied everytime. this one nice..
the 2nd and 3rd, i dunno how to comment.. sorry.. very n00b..

so D stands for what?

it wont effect ur pictures at all if u dont know how to shoot with it..
come on bro.. get shooting already~

he's on Fx kah?
maybe a bit tight for him loh..


aiyah whenever im bored i'll browse thru ur flickr to see2 lenglui there ha ha ha
85G surely is poison.. thread by thread..

^ not that much la..
what to buy? not enuff di..

so? sell the 50-135mm to me loh..


i dig the car..

not to undermind u but i think u'll be better answered in the recomendation thread, the latest is here

any camera will need a good learning to make sure u can fully utilise the potential of it..
go to any camera store, hold one in ur hand, and decide if that's for you..
held another one (different brand with the same price range) and try to feel if its meant for you

gear wont count as much when there's a lot of people..
it's the one who push the shutter at the right moment that'll count..


mostly are selling the d3100 now..
