even I bring my 1855 during rain. but still works perfectly.  brows.gif
weather sealed? I think for such a cheapo lens like 1855 nikon wouldn't implement that.

Little bit of rain is fine 1, except those very heavy rain

Thanks you very much !!

And if got focus chart , izzit a must to shoot at 45 degree at the focus test chart?

The battery test is quite accurate itself, but for more precise results, always use the focus chart and shoot at 45 degree(measure with ruler to make sure that it's really 45degree tongue.gif )

And they don't blame themselves for buying low end camera which cost RM 9.90 whistling.gif
Apparently, the slow focus isn't the lens problem. Is your bloody camera problem. It focus fast enough on D700 and above series. Reason ? Blame Nikon for not giving better AF module in your low end camera laugh.gif

Lol yeah, buy el cheapo camera and want to complain the focus speed doh.gif U pay peanuts sure get peanuts laugh.gif

Anyways, it's ideal for both crop sensor and full frame, so it's a good collection to your library even when you have a full frame body... Can enjoy it even better.

In terms of IQ, i can't comment yet. Maybe our sifu here can comment? KTCY? Celciuz? brows.gif

The D version will focus faster than the G version, colour wise the G version is slightly better, bokeh wise also G wins hands down... G will be shaper wide open, while the D is soft wide open..

thx for the good brief

now u have given me the idea of which one is better

coz i saw many people with d700 using the G version
*
I for one will take the sigma 50 f/1.4 over the G nikkor just because of the bokeh and better sharpness wide open + i find that the G is too small and doesn't handle well on big body like D700 smile.gif

Peep harder. LOL, are you looking on camera LCD or on the monitor LCD?

Lol on camera LCD only, but frm what i see online the noise performance of 5dmarkII is really good as well, almost similar to D700 notworthy.gif

so here it is. i must admit. im very bad at cropping. and the 5d2 got 21mp so it tend to be larger. im sorry for my stupidly cropped yah  notworthy.gif

no pp no watsoever. just change the tripod abit i think n i must admit this is a lousy comparison since im so noob at cropping them. hard to get it straight rclxub.gif

as for me i think the D700 wins but 5D2 got the bigger resolution  notworthy.gif

anyways, to topup my stupid and lousy comparison there, here's a web that shows the comparison better. scroll it down or just 'find' the word 'crop1'.

Cheers!

The D700 seems to be around 1 stop better from the pictures u have posted, well i only use the iso6400 on my d700 for emergency only sweat.gif
