Going to the middle of March. The shop I went only have the first batch of d7k, so ask them to order a new body for me

How much is the MB-D11? Anywhere to get the cheapest price? And how much are each of the battery?

Also have heard that the 85 1.8D is only usable from f4 onwards, anyone here use it in a DX before? Wanna buy it to use it wide open, if it's true might get the 1.4D instead.

some1 just cited the price in the above post.
okay bro.. looking forward for your D7k. My dream camera hahaha...
I thought 85 1.8 is pretty good for it's price. else you can get 85 1.4 D or 85 1.4 G if you have enough money.
buy buy buy.. hahahaha
Nano coating is healthy

Used to have one and pair it with DX camera.
Useable start from 2.2

Yeah it is pretty good for it's price, but some reviews says there's very bad CA and soft focus below f4. 1.4G is too expensive for me and little bit flare is okay for me so don't need that nano coating.

Will try out the BG when i purchase it now that i know it existed

The later I purchase it the more I look around and the more I would ended up spending.

don't know where you heard that but it's not true. of course you need to step down to get optimal sharpness but i find it usable at all aperture.

seldom use it at 1.8 though. too little dof. i start at f2.

that said, just go get the 85mm 1.4. the 1.8 has low tolerance to fringing

Have you tried the 1.4D? worth the extra bucks to upgrade?

Tested ! Worth or not depends mate. I feel worth but at the same time I will say no as well because I don't usually do portrait !

I could get it around 3.3k(much cheaper than in M'sia I'm supposed? ). And I want it just to do portrait.
Really have to try it myself then.

Not much different I guess.

Anyone can suggest me a wide-angle zoom len ? below 18mm . Last time i try only 12-24mm tokina , other than that?

I am aiming that zoom len !


I dont use battery grip but i got 2 batteries , but sometimes i feel like when my batteries run out , i need to change and need to get it from my bag , usually i dont like carry bag with me when i am shooting , so that time i feel that i need battery grip. That is me . Other ppl want battery grip for what i dont know.

Really?
Malaysia are all selling around 3700++
Can save around 400-500! (50 1.8 for free! )

Local store around 3.4k+

Really? where?
I look around the internet the lowest was 3.7k. Hmm I'll ask my shop when I go back to M'sia.

Malaysia can get around RM3500 for 1.4D, somehow i like the built quality of the D more than G. The D is lighter as well but not all people like the washed out colour of it compared to the G

If you're referring to Pro Images shop, forget about it.
Heng price as always, over price



Solid metal hood

I don't like the G that wash out my greens and purples from my wallet!

For those who do a lot of portraits, the BG is a must, mine never leaves the camera... If u think dun need BG with lens, then your lens is not heavy nor big enough The lenses below that I have tried definitely benefits from BG

1. 70-200vr2/80-200 f.28
2. 24-70 F/2.8 nikkor
3. 14-24 f/2.8 nikkor

Prime lens still ok but except those super telephoto prime lens

I played with G ! Color really awesome just that nowadays, I don't really depends on camera color. So, no point and I don't do portrait always

Really like the colour of 85 1.4g, just compare 70-200vr2 with 80-200 then can know what kind of colour the D has

24G how ?
