How the lens focus? O.o
Based on my understanding, the SWM is just a motor. The rest is left for you to explain to me about the relationship between this motor and the "low light".

Btw happy chinese new year to you and all of photographer here !

Do you have speedlight ?

Pay peanuts, get notty monkeys



As you can say SWM = motor. Go read more regarding AF-D lens and AF-S lens
You will know why AF-S 50mm can lock almost instantly while AF-D might hunt !

Correct, the AF-S might be slower but its more accurate. The 85mm behaves this way. The 1.4D versus 1.4G that is. The 1.4D is faster, but hunts more and not as accurate.

go try AiS... see faster or not LOL

quite sad myd40 produce not nice picture..

plan to get speedlight after this with 55-200 VR lens..

why bro?

No thanks . Don't like any of them.

50mm 1.4 ai-s makes a good video lens smooooth focus ring

My D700 no video

My D700 oso no video, but i

No video that's why not interested in the 50 f/1.4 Ai-s just for the smooth focusing ring as mentioned by fubs.

Good morning from Penang

i got interested in the 50mm f/1.4 ais just because i inherited it

what a nice scenery... for such a nice place...

Thanks guys. Too bad I don't have any ND with me. Else the sun won't overexpose

Hello guys,

I'm looking forward to purchase my first DSLR and I have gotten this offer from a shop in PJ:

Standard package: D7000 Kit + Nikon Bag + 8GB SD = RM4,500
Standard package + Kenko UV Filter = RM4,580
Standard package + Kenko UV Filter + Upgrade to 8GB Sandisk Ultra = RM4,680

Fotopro Tripod (can be unattached into monopod) = RM480

And because I'm getting together with my friend, the shop offering us further RM50 off which we can purchase the Glass Type Screen Protector.

What do you guys think about the package?

Or perhaps any other shop recommendation?

using small aperture is harder to tell back/front focus because the depth of field is covered more.

Are you shooting in low light?
Are you using external flash? If yes, is the flash AF assist lamp turned on?
If no flash, is the on camera AF Assist lamp turned on?

When the focus is locking on, is it lock-on instantly or does it judder a little while locking on?
