I really workship him ok. He is godlike    

yeap... i just realized that after i took some shots from cameron.... some over shots of mine looks awful.. while some under shots really bring out the greenery or the nature...      
a different kind of approach to me... as i seldom take landscape photo... good to know that...

Sarcastic la mate.

picture spam ...

took this at Bukit Melawati ...

yeah ive tried just now,in m mode with 8000 and aperture of 5.6
no err,but i got no image,black

its been a while since I last post here. Just want to share some of my latest photos 

both shot with Nikon D700 + CZ 2/35 

Also, I shot a prom recently! Click here to view some of the photos.

Oh, I'm thinking of buying a wider lens and I'm on a budget. Does anybody have the Nikon 24mm f/2.8? What do you think of it? Pros and cons? 

D700 weather proof so reliable??

maybe that's coz it's just wayyy too underexposed.
underexposed or decent exposure is not the problem here. at iso6400, i can still see a very dim image on the times it work. on the ones that show Err. the image is black. black as in "lens cap on" black.
LOL...i can understand why you're saying that. though this is my first dslr for a week, I've been using dslrs for a long time.

my problem now is, sometimes the mirror/shutter does not complete the whole cycle. let's not talk about underexposed or not. what i'm getting is black. total black like as if u had the lens cap on.

this Err problem happens intermittently but quite frequently. on the times it snaps correctly, I get an underexposed image or a normal image. on the times it fails (Err), i get a "lens cap on" black image.

now it doesnt just happen at 1/8000, it randomly happens at lower shutter speeds like 1/60, 1/40. ISO is at auto, so on the times it work, i get a normal image, on times it fail, i get black image but exif still shows the actual shutter speed i set.

when top LCD shows Err. i switch it off, took out the lens, saw the mirror was up and the shutter was covering the sensor. put it back, switched it on, press the shutter button again, and i can hear the mirror flip down. now I can continue snapping.

sorry if this is real long but i cant really think of a better way to explain this as I dont have a video of it. 

nope. definitely not mirror lockup. see my other replies.

tried without lens, without memory card. still same.

it's only a week old. took more than 1k shots since i got it. but it was indoor event so no fast shutter. ytd, tried 1/8000 and then started like that already. now lower, medium shutter speed also like that. 

Fare ?

Now I wonder how does the new 35 f/1.4G fare against this Zeiss 35 f/2.

D300 also crap lah like that?!  

Thanks for the only reply bro..
I will get my first non-kit lens tonight     
    I think I got to try pro body first. 
bro celz. people usually say 50mm is the most normal prime lens. whereby you can di portrait, and most of normal activities.
I am wondering does that mean 50mm on FX body or DX body??

Is that mean 35mm is it's equivalent on DX lens? but why people are using 50mm on DX lens for portrait nowadays?

Define 'better'? If you're talking about the DOF then yes generally FX has thinner DOF.

But if bokeh quality for example like how round the highlights etc all depends on the lens.

Anyways, the reason I said my lens all got an 'upgrade' from D700, because of the AF speed. The AF system in D700 is so much faster than on D90's. Another thing to note is my 1635 is finally a real UWA lens, 85mm range is just nice on FX, and 70200 range also superb for my usage now. Not too tele and has a 'wider' end on 70mm too.

Yeap. 1:1, If I can get that near to the butterfly lar...

i using 1855... so cant take so near one ><

18-55 can focus quite close one right? But 35mm f2 and 17-35 f/2.8 is even closer if not mistaken

How fast does it read a CF card again?

It has a stand attached using magnet right? Should be this one, http://sandisk.com/products/readers-access...e-usb-20-reader

really? I was just called "soha*" for doing 522 in 24 hours LOL...

What do you guys do with DSLR normally? Use until spoil or sell?

I doubt ill be getting a new one anytime soon... Just a student

Not your card reader problem. Your computer hard disk and processor problem. They can't cope with the speed.

My AM400 can transfer at 50-60MB/s to Dell Workstation and Mac Pro.
To my asus laptop about 25-30MB/s.
