Funny lah. If achievable, what's the whole point of dreaming then laugh.gif
Put something not so easy to achieve as your dream. To be honest, I was dreaming of having a 24-70G few months ago, and now I have it. I was like W*F when I think back now. LOL!

So do you face the light leak problem?

Wondering does Nikon Center such as BTS there provide any firmware upgrade services for my D7000?

Plan DIY, but i m heard its risky!

Risky? laugh.gif
It's as easy as A,B,C!
Just need to reformat your sd card and save the file to the root and put it back to your camera and let it do the rest. What so risky about that? flex.gif

My friend do have such issue. Den he send it to shop for warranty. Wondering is there anyone facing such scenario before? Installation fail!?
Well, I read it somewhere... There's risk if the firmware doesnt install properly. Although risk consider very very very low but it doesn't resist the potential of causing the camera become malfunction.

What they mean is that for extreme case of like battery ran out of power during installation, you just need to follow the instructions and there's absolutely no risk. If you can't even do such a simple thing I wonder how would you get thru the challenge of your life. shakehead.gif

hey bro u bought your d7k?
there is MB-D11 if not mistaken. tongue.gif

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 laugh.gif laugh.gif

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. biggrin.gif
okay bro.. looking forward for your D7k. My dream camera wub.gif 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. biggrin.gif
buy buy buy.. hahahaha
Nano coating is healthy  tongue.gif
*
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. laugh.gif

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

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

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? flex.gif ). And I want it just to do portrait. rclxm9.gif

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  brows.gif

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

It's about double or more than double the price of 1.8D; Worth or not depends on the person who will be investing in it.
The best is to test out yourself at Nikon BTS, they have the 1.8D, 1.4D and 1.4G; Test out yourself and see/feel the difference and whether its worth to pay for it.

If you're photographer earning $$$, it might be worth to get the G as you will get your return on investment; But if you're a hobbyist or not earning much, then it depends on your budget and how much you're willing to pay,... also, probably how detail-conscious you are? Sometimes, people don't really look/know the details but they just want to get the best there is; If they have the $$$ then it's not a problem, else, they should think more properly whether it's to pay the extra bucks.

Whatever your choice, most important is for your to test out yourself; In the end, it's still just a tool, it depends on your skills and how you utilize it. If one day you found its limitation and wishes to upgrade, I "believe" you can still sell the lens at good price.

Thanks!

Am just a hobbyist and want a 85 that can be use wide open without problem. I won't consider the G at all as it is too expensive.
I just want a lens that I know is money well spent and will have me to blame for the bad photos instead of the gear was not up to par and regret later on.

But will try it out at BTS myself to see the difference. thumbup.gif

PP as u wish, it will never have the colour signature of the G lens. That's why i resist to buy 85 1.4D and I sold off my 80-200 right after I have tested the 70-200vr2.... Actually not only the colour is better, everything else i just a little bit or way better compared to the old lens and buying a good lens will last you for a long long time.. Pain once only buy the best  whistling.gif

woooo, you're one bad fella to be with! laugh.gif
I'm not a pro and not making $$$ with my gears so that little bit difference in color is okay to me.

How much is the G around Klang Valley, think it's gonna be too pain for me! laugh.gif

Talking about telephoto, how about the 70-300? it's cheap and it's quite sharp apparently. rclxm9.gif

Haha, didn't know you're not replying to me as you didn't quote any and your reply is right after mine.

Anyway, i'm only a student and don't have a rich dad.
It's my savings from allowances and jobs plus some investments.
So yeah I know i'll be drooling for the G but I'm ok with the quality of image I see with the D and see some comparison of the color of both the D and G, I find myself ok with the D color just that the G performs much better with back lit situation.

Who doesn't know the newer tech and the newer lens are better? Just that i have my budget and I'm buying it for my hobby so there's no need to buy all the top lenses in order to enjoy it.

But then, never know, some of my trades can suddenly come good and boom I'll be buying a G! laugh.gif

At the moment, D is fine for me.
