I am curious. hahaha

some qustion i need to ask. why is there diff between a 50mm f1.4 nikkor and a 24-70f2.8 nikkor in terms of brightness. i set both on the exact same setting and yet the 50mm are much more brighter. settings are F5.6 iso 200 1/250

i also donno. but if i compare primes and zoom, primes will be brighter...

because prime lens is shorter so lesser "black" objects to absorb light when light travel through the lens?

how much are the 85mm 1.4D?
Digitalrev is selling at 1038USD, kinda cheap isn't it?

16-85mm seems a good choice. but might burst ur budget.
else.. get a 18-105mm VR. thou is a kit lens for D90. but it's certainly a good lens.
keep d rest of ur budget for a 3rd party UWA lens like tokina 12-24 or 11-16mm.

for walkabout, travel... i suppose my UWA is on my camera most of the time.
hardly shoot anything above 100mm
unless u're are shooting like a sniper, zoom into the small details and cant walk towards it

Sigma 12-24 fisheye meh ?

Aperture f/1.4 bigger hole compare to f/2.8 !

I think it is because of the shorter barrels (usually, and also lesser elements).

Take 85G and 70200 VRII for example, more light loss due to the longer barrel of VR2 and also more elements inside.

Not really la. I tried Sigma 12-24 and Nikkor 24mm f/1.4G
Sigma makes the VF damn dark while 24mm bloody bright
Sigma so short also ma

Bear in mind the 1224 is a zoom lens, more elements inside.

Probably but the aperture play a big factor, I guess

well both closes at the same f-stop. most likely is the elements then

Let's say everything else is the same, light loss and etc in the 2 lens the 24 f/1.4 would be brighter in the viewfinder. But when you shoot at same settings, let's say 24 f/2.8 for both lens. Outcome should be same, but the 24mm would be brighter at even f/2.8 due to lesser elements thus lesser light loss.

KTCY no go penang shooting or jalan jalan yesterday ? i mean the "miao hui" .
