Gonna skip MSI... tomorrow got time square send my lens in then test lens .

I lol'ed at that too. I have rather small hands too but D90 feels comfy

The 70-200mm makes the D90 feels imbalanced, right?

No grip -> weird... LOL. I use my D700 without grip feels like ~_~...

Guys if you have about RM3k, would you get the 80-200 two touch? Mainly for outdoor and potraits

Sometimes for sports and racing cars

Really? Can't afford lor, max budget already

Saw reviews saying it's nearly as sharp as the Nikkor 70-200 VR at 2.8. And it has the best body. You tried the two touch?

I see, praying that my one will be a good copy

Yeah true, when I have the budget I'll definitely get the VRII

Wow the pics on the website are very sharp, what aperture is the naked man pic?

I see. I guess i'll try to use it for a while, getting a monopod to pair with the lens. Let's see how it goes. My friend is using a Canon 70-200 f2.8 without IS, he said he needed to get use to the lens first, then it's gonna be fine. Well hopefully it'll be fine for me too.

I really expect a lot from this lens, it's gonna arrive this thursday

Well, if you have tried the 70-300mm VR and 80-200mm, you might get your answer immediately. Although there is no VR for 80-200mm, but somehow when you hold it and look through the viewfinder, it's pretty steady;
Go and try in Nikon BTS, use the 70-300mm VR, off the VR, and look through the viewfinder and try to get a steady shot; then do the same with 80-200mm and you most probably will feel the difference.

Next, it's the aperture advantage, with f/2.8, which can compensate for the 70-300 VR's aperture.

Finally, look at the image quality and sharpness, it's  different... as another plus, if you're shooting portraits, nothings beats the wide aperture which you can't get from the 70-300mm VR. The ability to separate the subject and the  background, blowing the background away smooth and nice.

The best answer for you is to try it yourself.
You bought new?

If you're using with Flash, you can lower down the shutter more as the flash will help to freeze the subject and reduce blurred picture. I've seen sharp portrait image shot at 200mm f/2.8 without IS, shot handheld at 1/30 secs with Flash.

Bliz , i went to ask the price of 16-35mm , they offered me 4k. @@

wow...
d 85mm 1.4G drop so much...?
btw...
d 16-35 ani chance can find lower somemore...?

There's no price drop la, just got offer for 85 1.4g 2nd hand RM4k (2 months old), didn't grab it cos feel not worth it might as well buy new one..

85 1.4g ~ Rm4600
16-35 ~ Rm3950

BTw, these 2 lenses are best utilise on FF... for DX stick with 50 1.4 for portraits and a proper wide angle like nikkor 12-24 for DX, unless of course u want to buy FF body together 

Yup..crumpler is worth it..but make sure its ori la..

Ordinary pictures i'm ok.
Canon never got 85 f1.4. plus its so rare people got 1.2 in lyn.
so i just come here to lurk around
very nice ma i dont need 1.2 

105mm VR for portrait? tsk tsk tsk~

Tried 105mm on D90 before, not ngam for me I prefer the 70200 over the 105 VR anytime.

You want portrait lens -> 85mm f/1.4G. You want macro lens -> 105 VR.

sb900
buy both. confirm happy one

then go for the macro first lo can take pics of food while ur sitting infront of it

yea its abit loose, thats why theres another small rod there to prevent it from moving around.
wont fall off anyway

ah no wonder, cause im not dare to use my batt grip with the 70-200, feels like it will topple over, now im feeling safe with it then... it will be funny if it drops off and left a batt grip on my palm 

I just saw the review of 200m f/2. So damn freaking nice !
