wow, then it's time for me to scout for a 35mm! i own a 50mm 1.4 as well, but need to stand quite far away. 35mm will be ideal.

the starting point for the 80-200 would be the AF-D one ring version, around rm1.8k used.
after that i would jump straight to the 80-200 AF-S two touch...about rm4k used, ignoring the 80-200 AF-D two touch which sits in the middle of those two somewhere.

Afaik people mention the 1st & 2nd version the push pull version. Well, no matter, just a difference in calling those lenses anyways.

The Nikon AFD 80200 f/2.8 two touch version is still in production till now.

Okay I'm just telling this from what other photographers told me personally as I've never used one before, the AFS 80200 has a problematic SWM motor or something like that and it would fail totally or have focusing problems. Repairing the SWM motor is really expensive. Much less durable than the AFD version for sure. My friends told me either get the AFD 80200 two touch version or the newer 70200VR1 for DX and VR2 for FX if I have the money.

Very true. Getting the AF-S 80200 might as well get VR 1

interesting.
another camp says dont get the 80-200 AFD two touch cos the manual focus ring eventually gives way or crack.

ya, but it happens.
or perhaps they stick it on AF all the time.

u can even check shashinki description when they sell used 80-200 AFD.

A / M ring works perfectly, however there is a crack on the ring near the screw location. It does not affect operation though. Turning A / M ring still perform smoothly.

AF/MF switch on the lens works perfectly. No broken part.

Color is brilliant, focus is sharp, but picture lacks subject and theme. Are you intend to shoot trees in general?

wedding shots ppl want to see their faces la.
not fancy low light scenery.

and thats why some ppl drag assistants who carry tripods tongue.gif

Very dangerous to generalize what wedding shots are. You'll never know what kind of style the couple will like.

Discuss properly with couple/client what kind of character/style they want in their wedding shots. Act smart and shooting it the way you like will send your wedding photography down the drain.

Deng, just now was playing with my friend's D7000, and I got poisoned again. Now the performance gap between DX and FX is already so close, I wonder how close it would be when D400 is release... hmm.gif

First picture feels plain.

The second picture is nice, my eyes were drawn to the sky and clouds. Nice colours. The light post on the left is a distraction XD

Prefer this one.
maybe show abit more sky could balance out more & give a gentle burn to the upper portion of the sky to give a little more punchy & dramatic sky smile.gif

i suggest u dont use the hoya hmc on the 70-300vr, im using that same combo...or at least i was...now no more.
here are the 100% crop samples i shot this evening.
i took a few shots with filter, and few without filter of the same spot to make sure its consistent.
i guess the differences should be obvious.

with filter.
[attachmentid=2054727][attachmentid=2054728]

w/o filter.
[attachmentid=2054729][attachmentid=2054730]
*
waaa...
sharpness is different...
so,we should sell our hoya??
or??
