get the 50mm. is tight. but is a good way to constrain and learn to compose well.
good to practice ur composition.

but i found 50mm handle flare quite bad...

shouldnt be complaining anyhow..... the lens is cheap and good enough...

Added on December 3, 2010, 12:03 pmyes... if you realized... the gold ring on some of the pro lens is not standardize...

and the new 24... 35... 85mm is really gold compared to others... maybe they did some changers on some of the new lens...

Awesome. Let's all meet on the 11th, shall we?

Didn't expect so many 90's here lol

@fcuk 10am arrive at Putra bus station? if that's the case can straight away walk there d

for me... 24-70 is a good range on DX body when it comes to wedding shots... havent try it on FX though...

70-200 too far man... can be worst on DX...

comparing to 24-70mm. of course.. it dun hav d N coating. haha
but compare to other lens. i think is consider acceptable.
plus the lens sit pretty deep it as well. and i dun use any filter on it. so not much an issue for me.
else, use the flare as an advantage to add some artistic touch to ur photo

like this ? hehe...but i believe the flare was cause by the coach window and not d lens thou.

50mm f/1.4G handles flare quite good. Pair it with XS-PRO and woohoo!
Gold ring on 24-70 really weird one. Damn yellowish compared to other lens.

Haha I love 24-70 too. 17-55 is not my range although many would love it for the DX.

I love 17-35 f/2.8 on FX though

so for this KLIMS, what lens should bring? 50mm and 18-105 can?

I will bring 50mm on DX alone. Watch me

Sudden feel that edwardgsk is a very rich 90-ians..lol..
depending what you want to shoot. for portrait, 50 will be a good choice. but if you want shoot group picture (like graduation, gatherings), then 35 is better, juz in my opinion after trying...

for those nice pictures...not oni lens, skills play an important role...visit here more often den u will noe..

I'll be using 18-70 only for KLIMS. will attempt to borrow my friend's SB900, hopefully can get.

I where got rich la
All those in my siggy are hard earn money from part time work and a few used one from dad's collection nia.

I bring both + SB600.

Is it wide enough though? Can 70mm f2.8 on 24-70 produce nice bokeh?

bokeh is always created if you are closer to the subject.... and the wider the aperture the more bokeh it is... thats why constant 2.8 is an expensive piece of equipment...or any prime for that matter

24mm should be wide enough if it's out door or bigger space.
70mm f2.8 bokeh should be good enough for event ceoverage and wedding.
i dun think u need the super bokeh like f1.4 for a such shot and limiting urself on the zoom range

it's bout 36-105 on DX... you judge loh... different ppl different pov...

yes it can... as long as the subject is close...
