KTCY can you please give me some enlightening about the actual range of the 70-200? (What I mean here is the actually distance of the subject to the object to get the full body)

I know I know. I am just considering where to invest. because I have kitty with mine 35mm with mine. basically what I actually lacking is tele which 70-200 is a good option. instead of upgrading the lens it's better to have lenses for the different2 purpose isn't it? Correct me if I am wrong

it's 1855 bro

I think I have to go to BTS and give 70-200 a try. to focus on my budgeting anyway thank you guys.
KTCY can I know what is the preparation need to be made in order to master weeding stage kind of photography since you do experience on that field.

Yeah.. that's very true bro. but do you find it tele is useful?
actually I have several options of next months either upgrade my lens as in having a better IQ or cover tele. That's what makes me confuse bro. =\

equipment-wise?

I think I haven't found what kind of photography I am most.

I think I'll just stick with whatever I have currently. hahaha thanks anyway

I dunno what to play again on D3100. Color balance, Play till sien liao.
Hmm... I am wrong choosing entry level cameras as my 1st camera I should know it's not much customization offered.

go for d3100 instead or D7000

70-200 2.8?

Sigma 50mm 1.4 is always been there to grab. Reason choosing sigma instead of Nikon?
It feel so solid to hold, makes Nikon lens feels like cheap China town lens. IMHO

Sigma is more geng? solid, big, nice. and IQ-wise is comparable.
(-) 77m Filter sucks!

Throw it away and buy the new one instead of servicing it which will eventually cost you like the new lens itself.

are you sure that's not a lemon copy of sigma 50mm 1.4? because I test it out seems like it is sharper compared to Nikon 50mm 1.4 G

and Hell yeah, it will cost like hell. just like the other N lens out there.

bro mind to tell me which one is flickr and which on is facebook?
I think facebook will offer you a significantly quality degradation. since it will host it to somewhere else and of course they do some compression algorithm to make the uploading process faster. (if you do realize uploading photo is facebook is significantly faster compared to flickr).

That's what I learn in my college anyway. compression algorithm.

a friend of mine own it and I've played around with it.
I don't really like it.
IQ-wise I'd say like kit lens but a longer focal length.

Fuyyoohh.. Rich fella. I started to envy you now.

I bet your flash player will be crashed like 3-5 times.
if you do a bulk upload.

Spam old archive

Added on January 18, 2011, 1:00 pmDX nikkor meant the lens is purposely made to be used for DX sensor. so does FX nikkor. it applied in vice versa condition.

however FX nikkor has no issue if you used it on DX sensor.
where as DX nikkor will cause vignetting if you use it on FX sensor.

70-200 2.8 Sigma or Tamron will help you for less than RM 3k


you are consider lucky then unlike me.

I don't get the question seriously.
you want 1 prime lens to serve you on wide up to mid tele? or multi lenses?

24 1.4
50 1.4
85 1.4

1st of all it's not degradation of IQ because IQ will always the same regardless the VR.
However if you open the shutter for a longer period of time e.g 1/13s or even longer I think.
the photo will shows some shaking because the VR system itself is shaking even your hand is not shaking therefore turn off your VR for those kind of shoot.
e.g 20 sec aperture.
I do read it somewhere the VR system will automatically signaled to turned off by the body if the aperture is opened for a long period of time. Only apply for some body <-CMIIW
Canon does this as well. <- http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/educat...ation_lenses.do


Same with me. Yay.! my salary is not enough. bank might be the only answer.

Good Card reader > USB cable > BAD card reader.
In my case my laptop couldn't detect SDHC therefore I use cable because lazy to buy good card reader.

That's the reason I put CMIIW out there bro.
CMIIW = Correct me if I am wrong.

I am sorry. my bad
