cause everyone is basically using the same gear... so what set you apart is the way you think... which leads to your point of view... your creativity... the way you composite...

QUOTE(General_Nic @ Nov 18 2010, 12:53 PM) transition frm zooms to primes? AFS 3.5-5.6 is the newer release of this lens... but no longer in production... they still selling the old AFD 2.8-4 though... and it's made in japan if i'm not mistaken... btw, my fren r hunting some old lenses he's deciding between AFD 24-85 f/2.8-4 n AFS 24-85 f/3.5-4.5 which is better choice? of cos d bigger aperture of AFD is better, but AFS build n performance much better in reviews |

QUOTE(KTCY @ Nov 18 2010, 03:16 PM) AF-S 50mm f/1.2G rumours ! The Japanese site digicame-info.com reported a rumor few days ago that Nikon is currently working on new AF-S 50mm f/1.2G and 28mm f/1.4G lenses that will be released in the near future. I received similar tips at the beginning of the year about the 50mm f/1.2G lens and Nikon even filed a patent for it: http://nikonrumors.com/2010/11/17/rumors-f...evelopment.aspx This explain why there isn't any GOLD RING at 50mm f/1.4G  if it's true.... that 1.2 is going to cost a fortune... |

QUOTE(Kent3888 @ Nov 22 2010, 10:19 AM) Y u get the 16-35 F4 instead of this beast? or the 24-70? lol..... Anyway how much does the 14-24 cost? 6k range? i would get 1635 rather than 1224..... the sharpness is about the same... 1635 is lighter and cheaper... and you dont really need that 2.8 bokeh if you're shooting landscape...Added on November 22, 2010, 12:15 pm QUOTE(KTCY @ Nov 22 2010, 10:05 AM) Only lens I want now, 35mm f/1.4 and maybe 24mm. haha... something better than D3s.... D3s noise control is already something beyond compare... The only body I want now, 5dMKII features but D3s noise control or even better than D3s ! but some said D700 is better than 5DMKII when it comes to shooting... Added on November 22, 2010, 12:20 pm QUOTE(celciuz @ Nov 22 2010, 11:53 AM) My friend's Sony 70200 hood also broke into half when dropped it on tar road.

QUOTE(zstan @ Nov 22 2010, 02:15 PM) 85mm enough for stage shots a? 135mm have better range IMO. i think 85mm is just nice.... while anything lower than 50mm is not that good for stage shots... unless you get really close... which most of the time you're not suppose to...anybody have this two lens? which do you prefer for stage? let's leave aperture out of the question la. i know 85mm wins in terms of f1.4 or f1.2  This post has been edited by chobo: Nov 22 2010, 02:21 PM |

QUOTE(KTCY @ Nov 22 2010, 03:42 PM) Budget not a problem ? Get 35mm f/1.4G. Way better than Sigma hahah.... 1 shot go for best of the best... And your mindset is wrong. Be it DX or FF lens, on DX body, you still need to x 1.5  |

QUOTE(celciuz @ Nov 22 2010, 06:35 PM) chobo, I would go for 70200 if I were you. Cover more range, and VR can make up for the f/2.8 instead of f/1.4. QUOTE(KTCY @ Nov 22 2010, 06:39 PM) second that. not that i dont want to.... but no ammo man....besides... shooting with 24-70 whole day long already able to ruin my right hand... can get worst with sb900 mounted on it... the thing i like about prime is they are razor sharp and lighter....

QUOTE(celciuz @ Nov 22 2010, 06:48 PM) You've seen how the 2470 performs right? The 70200 is similar in terms of sharpness! The IQ from 70200 won't disappoint you, plus you get the 70-200 range. Only downside, HEAVY~! I've shoot whole day with the 70200 before.. still can accept did you use battery grip...? i heard adding battery grip will help balance up the center of the weight... but i have try that though.... (But without SB900 since it is a motorsport event hehe) |

QUOTE(celciuz @ Nov 22 2010, 06:52 PM) D90 + grip + 2 batt + 70200, did this during motorsport events. For stage events longest i've covered is probably from 9pm~2am LOL. Lugging the 70200 all over... -.- you didnt use monopot...? it helps a lot while shooting sport events...QUOTE(KTCY @ Nov 22 2010, 06:53 PM) 70200 also razor sharp la i see... thanks for the advices.... will try adding one on before my next shoot... So ? Sharper and way better. And lens hood ? You can buy what  And even with this small lens you can fell, 70200 is out of your league, definitely. Yes. Battery grip helps up alot. |
