That "run run" part can be nice too you know, because of the bokeh-ness

Yup. Agreed. MF gives a more artistic feel to the video. AF makes your video looks like it's being shot with a Handycam. tongue.gif

That's why Hollywood already have AF in cameras since many many decades ago. It's called the focus puller. tongue.gif

ISO 400 is too low. Even if we're talking about a well-lit indoor room, subject is still underexposed. 1/800s is too fast, and it literally killed off all the available light that by right you should be collecting into your camera. Always
have to remember: Slower shutter speed => more light, Faster shutter speed => less light. We use this speed usually in broad daylight.

It's a person. Usually in a Hollywood filming work, there's always 2 persons operating the camera. The cameraman, and the assistant cameraman. The assistant cameraman is the one who measure the distance
between the subject with a measuring tape and adjust focus with a tool and also calculates the DOF depending on the scene requirement by the director.

u need to magic letter "N" on your lens. correct me if wrong. or u need ED or more aspherical elements

N lens usually will solve the "ghosting" problem.

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.

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.

You raised some good points. If you're shooting events or in a crowd, you cannot beat the 70-200mm f/2.8 for versatility. If you shoot one on one and pay the model for a private shooting, then yes you can have the 85mm f/1.4 as you'll have all the time to compose your framing.
Speaking about 24mm f/1.4, even though it overlaps with 3 of my other lenses, it's very special and has a special light gathering ability.
laugh.gif Yup. Get both.  drool.gif

Hahaha... easier to say.. that's the problem when I enjoy shooting portraits and weddings at the same time...=.=;;

you can't simply black and white your pic and expect some magic to happen. The color and contrast has to be right in order to give the feel. Otherwise it will look like some PnS photos in newspapers.

whether it's color or b&w, the thing that wow an audience is about your storytelling. When you see something, ask yourself, what is he doing? Ask yourself again, what's the mood? Happy? Sad? Or just let the audience to guess?
