Well, certain nikkor lenses are cheaper in US too, and some are cheaper in M'sia..

What Solid means is as long as you buy a non-grey set lens form any country (covered by Nikon Warranty from that country), it is entitled to get serviced by nikon service center around the world.

Talking about GGS, I was trying to find one and I came across GGS III Generation for D90..its made of the same glass i think but it is fixed to the camera like BM-10..and they also give another extra protector for the viewfinder, along with the one for the top lcd..

And here is a youtube link showing how to attach the new GGS

Well, in my own experience, i found 35mm 1.8G was very sharp wide open, at least for my copy..and in US G version is more popular than the D version. the only problem i had with my previous 1.8G is persistant backfocusing problem. after sending to Nikon it came back front focusing so i sold it. comparing to 50mm 1.8D, my 35mm 1.8G is way sharper. but i have no experience with 35mm D. here are some sample photos i took at f1.8, direct convertion from raw to jpeg

Well maybe i didnt pixel peep that one..but what about this one..and i had no experience with 35mm D, just comparing to 50mm 1.8



and as i mentioned i found my lens focusing is unreliable..the first shot of that guy came out like this..so no more 35mm 1.8G for me

I was using single point actually, never use auto area..i took around 500+ pictures dat day, around 100+ were backfocused..at one point, i took the same pic of a person several times and all of them (around 4-5 times) were backfocused..that made me realized sumthing was wrong and then i checked all the pics i took dat day and i found out the prob.. didnt realized it at fisrt coz not so obvious on the camera's lcd

Haha I agree, more sharpness need to spend more i guess maybe I will try 35mm f/2 in the near future and see how do i like it..

Erm, i'm not talking about that photo. i know why the people beside her were not in focus i shot with my other lenses before this and never had backfocusing before..for example the picture here, my focus point is at the lady wearing red's face..but the shap area is at the back, the guy and the women behind..and that is not motion blur because i took it at 1/1000sec..and this is at f/2.8, not 1.8..



another example, the focus point is at the guy playing guitar but the banner behind is in focus..

maybe due to the bigger area of contrast (black and white on the eye)

And when i tried it after coming back from nikon service, not a single backfocusing occur, only front focus and some damage on the logo plate..i even took a few sample photos, including one using a focus chart and emailed to them..so they paid me shipping and ask me to send back the lens..after two weeks, the lens came, they changed the plate but the lens was still front focused..if only i can go there and maki them myself

Dats y i felt sumthing is very wrong with my lens..never had such problems with my other lenses..in the viewfinder it appeared to be OK too..

Btw luv your bikini pool shot..lovely color tone..

Perhaps it was like dat, but no worries about the lens anymore..sold it for good..

1 week and a few photoshoots? are they ur frens? u alwiz have cute girls around u I hope i will have some opportunities to join any photoshoot when i come back to malaysia..model pics in this thread are very poisonous

Btw for D7000 users, the new firmware is already out:

http://nikonasia-en.custhelp.com/app/answe...etail/a_id/6938

Here is the description from the website:

Bright spots were sometimes noticeable with movie recording of especially dark scenes or subjects. Occurrence of this issue has been reduced.
*After the firmware is upgraded, bright spots may be visible in the monitor while the camera is autofocusing with the shutter-release button pressed halfway in live view mode. However, these bright spots are not recorded with still images and movies and are not visible in the monitor while the camera is autofocusing during movie recording.
