^haha.. Well, i just post it here for the fun of it. Your post made my day... Hehe... Since you mentioned cosplay, are you going to comic fiesta to tomorrow?

D lenses are always cheaper.

Are you talking about canon 50mm f/1.4 USM?

Are you the guy with the Nikon Professional Services strap, shooting video of Danny Choo with the D3s, handheld?

I was only a feet behind you.

Speaking of Danny Choo... I saw this Nikon commercial at his website:

Bokehlicious and sharpelicious wide open!

It's a lens of heavy damage too.

50mm f/1.8D = RM380
85mm f/1.4D = RM4.2K (http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/1933/AF-NIKKOR-85mm-f%252F1.4D-IF.html)

24/35mm powar!

Kena self-poisoned by my own 50mm prime at CF pulak.

Now I love prime even more.

Btw, when will be the latest Danny Choo footage that you shot on air?

50mm f/1.8D! RM380 only.

If 50mm f/1.8d versus 35mm f/1.8g, which one is better for d90?

[quote=KTCY,Dec 21 2010, 09:58 AM]
razor sharp portrait lens

85mm f/1.4G - RM 4.6k
70-200 VRII - RM 6.8k
135mm f/2DC - RM 4.5k
200mm f/2. - RM 16k

Is there any 3rd party equivalent lenses that costs cheaper than these? I broke already...

35mm on DX will be 50mm equivalent on FX, so on crop sensor, 50mm will be tighter. I haven't give 35mm a try yet, so I'm not sure about the sharpness.

So far I love my 50mm, unless someone poisoned me with the 85mm f/1.4 epicness.

That reminds me of someone..

24mm can camwhore on a DSLR.

Can share EXIF?

OK. I got a noob question here. I know expensive lens have sharper image control at larger apertures like f/1.8 or bigger. My cheapo 50mm is only sharp enoough at f/2.8, 85mm at f/1.4 probably can get as sharp as 50mm f/2.8 equivalent.

Just don't understand the concept behind the construction of the glasses, is it due to the optical elements in the lens itself?

Which area of Nikon center that you get to test the glasses?

lol... Of course I know in BTS. Just have to ask the Nikon staff to test the lens or they are on the displays or something?

At f/2.8, It's already a challenge for me to get 2 persons sharp.

My weirdest problem is whenever I shoot portraits, depending on the size of their eyes. Usually I can get dead on focusing when the girls' eyes are big and wide open. I think probably the light that falls on the face might confuse the AF...

Yeah, so everytime I shoot at 50cm away from the model, almost filled up the frame. At that distance because the eyes are visibly big enough, guaranteed sharp.

So, I am getting sharpness but at the cost of the freedom of framing.

I think the moral of the lesson is just forget bokeh or big aperture. Find some other things to compensate the small aperture, like find better lighting or use one or more flashguns (if you can afford it)

FULL HD 1080p?
