Thinking to lie down on the floor, then shoot upwards! Wonder can cover a lot of the sky or not xD.

Everything is going to look bloated lor like this haha!

I will go for the 70300 VR simply because it has VR. f/4.5 - f/5.6 is very slow :S No VR -> not easy to shoot without a good support or sufficient light.

Didn't take much close shots with it hmm, maybe can test out more first .

What did you service?

Oh... hopefully my 70200 also can return fast to me >_<

Its ok! Don't have the bullet for a 24G at the moment

Still with me, just unable to perform This weekend sending it over.

Impressive, beating 1424 and 1635 o_O

Well that is true, lesser elements in it right?

Need to check, the Nikon at BTS takes in units for warranty or not?

Maybe I should go direct to Nikon perhaps hmm. or should go through J-One?

Problem is, I'm not from KL. They don't open on weekends. Their opening hours is office hour and also weekdays only.

This is why I like 85mm on FX , not too wide not too tele hehehe.

Oh I see, thank you for your input.

Need 85mm f/0.95G already

Wah seh, need until so extreme like that 50mm or not haha~

85/0.7 -> 121mm diameter for aperture zomg.

Either you misunderstood me, or you don't know how aperture size is measured.

I mentioned how big the aperture opening, aperture is always stated as f/1.4 for example. The f stands for focal length. So a 200mm f/2 would be 100mm aperture opening (filter thread size is another story though).

So, 50mm f/1.4 -> 50/1.4

85 f/1.4 -> 85/1.4

So... 85 f/0.7 -> 85/0.7

Nope, shooting at f/1.4 or f/2 or f/8 doesn't exactly affect your exposure. Just need to set up well it will be ok. f/1.4 tend to have more vignetting compared to f/2 or f/4.

KTCY, like I said it is the aperture diameter. I'm not talking about filter thread.

50 f/1.2 is just 41.67 aperture opening. You can have bigger barrel than the aperture opening, but not smaller ;-)

Correct, aperture diameter . I didn't mention about the filter thread or barrel size.

Take the Sigma for example, 50mm f/1.4 using 72mm and the 50mm f/1.4D using 52mm (I think). But the aperture opening is still the same, only differences is the barrel size.

Take 85 f/1.2L (72mm) versus 85mm f/1.4G (77mm), why smaller aperture can have bigger filter size? It doesn't matter, cause 85/1.2 = 70.83mm. You still have space.

About time you learn?

Correct, that is why I said it is something simple

Welcome.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Hehe

Haha, its my most recent photoshoot. Haven't been shooting since CNY.

For these I just picked the location, cause I don't have a reflector with me nor good enough to use the flash outdoor.

Select position, cause reflector and flash not that simple for me~

I'm not up to this level yet

Using flash will give different feel, it all depends what you are looking for . She has good complexion mah

No harm knowing something this simple
