Hmm, double standard it seems, but to be safe just bring your receipt. The camera shop i always buy from asked me to keep the receipt just in case

Manual focus is going to be difficult using your D3100 tiny viewfinder wink.gif

Needs to be brighter, I don't see any sunlights at all, not a good time for photoshoot laugh.gif ... Try spot metering on her face in conditions like this, then the skin will look much better

That is your own opinion. You may have tested a bad copy. Even the mighty 24mm f/1.4 is not spared with problems. Any lens for that matter.

So after giving you the links (you can also google out for more if you want), you still conclude that you have not come across anyone to suggest the 10-24 over the 12-24?
A higher density sensor will show more flaws of a lens than a lower density sensor. Wrong?
Hmmm, I never said my Sigma was the best. I only indicated that the Sigma was the better compromise for me. I take holiday photographs. I don't shoot for a living.

I believe you when you say you tested all of the UWAs you listed. If you claim to say something is better than another, please back it up. Show samples. If you can't, look for threads to say that the 10-24 is inferior to the 12-24. Else, it will just remain as hearsay...
I tend to agree with that. Nikkor glasses produce better colour and details out of the camera.

U pay for the Nikkor cry.gif , even their DX lenses are not exactly cheap to begin with sweat.gif

But you look at Canon higher MP camera. The noise sad.gif

Btw, my 24mm now at Nikon place. Hopefully a new replacement icon_rolleyes.gif
*
Actually the 7D noise performance is quite good leh, usable ISO3200 to me biggrin.gif ... higher MP is useless if u dun print big, always view in front computer talk bout sharpness also useless cos won't see it unless u print big as well tongue.gif

as a canon user, i think 12-15 is very enough , or we call overkill already.
18mp is toooooooooo large man, shooting RAW is pain in the ass,
dont count the 5D2 yet sweat.gif
I found out D3 series is a nice class, because its the only Low MP , High FPS , FF camera.

Canon doesnt have their class to compete D3.
*
Don't forget higher MP also need bigger storage space and will tax your pc for post processing.... D700/D3 series is just awesome, FF, superb low noise, superb speed only thing is no video( I am not using so doesn't bother me laugh.gif )

Yes, it's still relatively new and the button is stiff. So got no choice but to use it more often?  sweat.gif
The feedbacks from this rumour are not positive. A little bit far fetched.

Just use it more often will do, mine was hard like brick when I first got it, now it's quite ok already laugh.gif

I didn't use this anymore, what i do is line up the batteries from front to back, much easier to see whether it's backfocusing or frontfocusing

In fact lighting is nothing wrong, indoor sure yellowish and low light(weddings especially).. Just need to master flash usage and WB settings then will be ok(talk easy but hard to do, I also still learning doh.gif )

Good idea. I need to figure out again whether is my camera problem or the 24mm problems
*
Learn from dpreview forum, they call it "The Battery Test", much easier to figure out FF/BF problem.. Focus chart is hard to test using telephoto, cos I cant even see the fonts clearly when focusing(text too small on A4 Paper, probably need A3 size brows.gif )
