QUOTE(Everdying @ Mar 20 2011, 06:43 PM) 1. no use recomposing with dynamic area, unless of cos the subject when recompose is not within the area. 2. why dont u use single point? why trust the camera to focus on what u want when it might not? 3. and AF-ON is the same as pressing ur shutter half-way to focus and will track in AF-C...if u had even tried u would already know. if u want to recompose in AF-C, what u need to use is AF-lock. Single point ? But i tot only used for shooting still object? Use single point , will out of focus wor , if the object moving hmmm i think nvm lar , thanks for teaching. I will try to find answer in google thanks u

Anyway, Chromatic Abberation happens because the individual Red, Green and Blue light rays were not focused properly, causing color fringe on the edge. I don't know whether this is counted as a lens issue. This post has been edited by geekster129: Mar 20 2011, 08:51 PM

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass: 1975
"Extra-low Dispersion glass." Nikon started using this only in their super speed super teles in the late 1960s. These lenses say "ED" on and have a gold band around the barrel. All ED lenses say so.
Since only the most expensive lenses used or needed this glass it acquired a cachet. Therefore Nikon started using the moniker on cheaper lenses, and today it seems everything says ED on it. Short and normal lenses have no need of this glass; it's benefit is reducing secondary chromatic aberration, which is green/magenta color fringes that used to plague lenses of 300mm and up.
ED glass is an improvement over the fluorite used by other makers at the time because it is hard enough to use for outside elements, unlike the soft fluorite.
ED glass helps eliminate secondary chromatic aberration (green-magenta color fringes) which is what previously prevented the design of practical super speed, super sharp super teles.
Discount brands now purport to use this glass. Ignore all these claims; they may or may not use this glass, but there are far more important factors in lens design than just what sort of glass was used. See the reviews for specific performance tests.
ED glass is less stable with temperature than conventional glass, and so the focal lengths of these lenses change slightly with temperature. Therefore there is no hard infinity focus stop on ED lenses because the point of infinity focus will change a bit with extremes of temperature.
ED glass also has a lower index of refraction so it requires more deeply curved elements for the same focal length.
The whole point of owning a Nikon is to use these super tele lenses, so don't be a bone head and waste your time with non-Nikon super telephoto lenses. You will find that when you go to sell a Nikon super telephoto that you will sell it for what you paid for it, so it's sort of free. If you have a discount lens (Tokina, Tamron, Spooginar, Sigma, etc.) you will have to sell it for far less than you paid, so the discount lenses actually cost MORE to own.

Use single point , will out of focus wor , if the object moving hmmm i think nvm lar , thanks for teaching. I will try to find answer in google thanks u seems to me u dont understand what AF-C is. C = continuous, as long as the point is on the subject it will focus. eg. the pic below is AF-C, single point, but moved to the right side focusing on the stomach so it will be on the player.
