I want it so much.

Just get one, plus you can practice manual focus along the way

I tried the lens on BTS when I was considering 35mm 1.8. shoot like 10 pic approx 7 of them OOF.
how can I force myself to do manual focus
models could kill me lor.. damn bad eye I have there.

u can use the indicator in the VF ma. Once it's green, it's in focus lo.

where can I see VF indicator?
I have no idea about that. sorry noob please do tell more about it. thanks!

Lower left corner in the viewfinder, the green dot.

^
Thanks for the input.
I think I owe a visit to BTS again
Thank you bro.
anyway another noob question. Will I have the green dot if I use Ai-S lens?

it is not that easy .

I tried with my 85mm couple of times, it was easier than I expected.

u champion .. maner bole lawan u bro .

Point is, it isn't as tough as you all expected. I initially thought it is impossible to MF on 85 f/1.4. But still able to eventually after I tried it myself.

Its all about practice, im still learning myself

i never said it's impossible .. i cume ckp susah ... lagi lagi moving object .. i used FM2 and FM10 .. manual focus too. but to shot moving object is quite difficult .. unless u shoot model .. senang la .. u got time to adjust ur setting, focus ... and for me .. even i shoot in studio i pakai Auto Focus.

Oh, that is shooting something static haha! If something moving sorry la, I think even AF would have issue if subject moves alot.

Moving object use manual focus?
makes me want to vomit. on BTS I tried it on miniature (still object) out of 10 photos 7 is OOF

but I want a cheap 35, furthermore I already have 50 1.4D altho not really like 50's angle...

I use 50mm 1.8 for Food photography in my nikon d3100 because food wont move mah easy =D

Get 50mm 1.4g lo , as if u wan to upgrade to FX soon , still applicable , good in FX

Nice pic with the story behind hahaha LOL , update im going to war in fb before start lol

i personally think . that instead of knowing which lens suits you .... how to use that lens .. this lens ... u better start learn composition. and learn to shoot using lighting ( studio light or speedlight )
Bokeh is nice ... but lighting will get u further .

studio setup is very expensive bro. you need to have many speedlites. plus the other setup etc etc etc.
I do agree lighting will get you further but it is a little too much for student like me.

^ Agreed =/ cannot afford a studio setup.
