I can't spill the bean so as to make the d700, 2470, sb900 my reality. Seriously.. the 70200 is under 6K, and it's new, no it's not stolen, not grey set.

I'm still considering if I want to start selling nikon equipments to other people... hmm.gif


I'll update you guys the next month if i wanna sell nikon stuffs at lower than street price..

If you're getting a 70200VR2 below 6k, means you're shaving about 1k off the street price. Wah... can grab a lot of lens lor~

Looking for my friend who own 85mm 1.2 so can play with it.
hey hey. yesterdays a friend of mine said 85mm on DX is the best range for portrait. what do you think? since you are so portrait I wanted to know your opinion. tongue.gif
thinking to get UWA or 85mm 1.8  rclxub.gif
*
It depends on what kind of portrait and space, if indoor, 85mm on DX most probably will be too tight and if you want to take half-body, you need to much further (as previous example by celciuz).
But also like edward mention, the perspective also different (e.g. the more tele, you get better separation from the background.)

Try google portrait lens, for FX, you will find 135mm f/2 DC. You can also find Portrait pictures @ 200mm on FX using 70-200mm f/2.8. So, it depends what kind of portrait you prefers more or you want to capture.

Double the money man...and we're talking 5 figures.

I don't want to play the waiting game. Plus.. the D700 replacement price will be more expensive. It won't be 6k & early shipments would probably be limited & need to order and wait some more.

I buy is what I need... not so much as want. I make a living from taking pics. The D700 satisfies my need. Plus the D3s' only significant difference is the high ISO performance. For now I'm not taking wedding/event pics at ISO 12800.

If only the D3s has higher megapixels like the 5DmkII, then I would be more inclined to buy the D3s because I do print out large sized media. The only reason I didn't go for the 5DmkII is because of the slow autofocus and not so durable/weather sealed body.

5d2's middle AF point is very reliable. Outer ain't that reliable. And I have shoot in rain, snow, and its still works like a charm.

My friend whose a 5dmk2 user tells me otherwise. He usually take a few shots because to compensate for any miss focus.

That could happen. Well in my experience, the middle AF is spot on sharp. But the outer points is not reliable n some times can be a pain in the proverbial backside laugh.gif

By right all should be similar cause full cross sensor isn't it? I know for D700 the 15 in the middle is the fastest and most accurate. The sides will hunt at times if you don't get a pattern as it is not a cross type.

Is it 16 or 15? I'm not sure about the exact amount on d700. Anyways, I find that 5d2's outer AF points hunts a lot in low light. And the center point is the most reliable. But to recompose using the mid point is abit pointless imo.

Very true. Getting the AF-S 80200 might as well get VR 1
Depends on how much you can get the AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8 for... If you're planning to use the VR 1 on FX body, it's ok unless you don't mind living with vignetting at wide open f/2.8.


QUOTE(alpha_company @ Feb 22 2011, 03:24 PM)
Yup yup.. price difference is close and plus you can get VR


Added on February 22, 2011, 3:26 pm

Never heard of such... maybe there are problems like that happening to some people but the problem with the AFS 80200 is a lot more serious as it just stop functioning all together and the cost of repairing the motor is a bomb.
*
The cost of repairing motor of ANY AF-S lenses cost a bomb. ANY lens that has it's AF-S motor spoiled would render the AF-S lens non-functioning. The problem is not isolated to the AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8.


QUOTE(edwardgsk @ Feb 22 2011, 04:22 PM)
Go for D3s + 24-70.
You might regret once D700 replacement is out, just a sincere advice from me smile.gif
I think you're going to be more heartache when the D3s gets replaced...

The 135mm f/2.0 DC is one of my favourites.
