Front curtain -> usual method where the flash is fired at the beginning of the exposure.

Rear curtain -> the flash is fired at the end of exposure. Say for example your shutter speed is 1/2 seconds. The shutter would open for 1/2 seconds and then flash will fire right before the shutter closest back. This is usually done to show motion under low light (clubbing etc).

High speed -> a mode for flash to sync with shutter faster than actual sync speed. 1/200s for most bodies and 1/250 for higher end bodies. Some bodies like D40x have sync speed of 1/500s if not mistaken. So here's how the fast sync works. Just before the shutter opens for exposure, the flash will fire first basically to sync with the curtain.

So it pretty much means when you shoot at 1/1 on normal mode (1/200s?) versus 1/1 at 1/8000s the power output would be different.

Based on my experience with the D7000, it seems to be as fast as the D700

I also want >_< How much is it when converted to Msia?

I know CCD produces better color than CMOS. But CMOS has improved to a certain level that CMOS is better than CCD in my opinion. D200 versus D300s for example?

Does the plain black goes for £20 as well?

I have one, but seldom shoot :S >_<

Haha, guess it feels better than the Industry Disgrace right? My D700 using my D90's Industry Disgrace at the moment. And D90 using the crappy original strap ~_~. Looking for a new strap, almost bought Optech the other day haha!

Nah, got from garage sales

Sounds selfish to me, go custom make your own strap then

Just tested my CPL, seems like no vignetting even when stacking on my XS-Pro?

I would say easily 800-900 perhaps.

If the f/1.4 is about 1.8k as opposed to the f/1.4 at about 900.. i don't see why the f/1.8G cannot be at those price?

Heck even the 35 f/1.8G is about there, and that's DX only.

Nice , hopefully I get to do some big heads too

At Penang for a holiday with family . Gonna drop by KLCC on the way back if on schedule xD.

Must be some limitations they encountered I guess. But the new bodies are with ISO100 base.

Just got back home from the trip, tired!

The VR2 does have vignetting but usually you don't see it with JPEG because there's vignetting removal already on the image.

I don't think its a design 'flaw'. probably some limitation during their design stage perhaps. Just my 2 cents .

Like wise, the 70200 IS and IS2 also got reduced vignetting from one iteration to another.

I used before a normal Hoya filter and was using the Hoya HD now. So far I would say the Hoya HD gives lesser flare as compared to the cheapo. Performance wise not quite sure yet, don't have a direct comparison. But then again, the Hoya HD feels thinner than the normal Hoya I have previously which is good since I shoot with 16mm FF.

Then again, when using UWA the polarize effect only work on certain locations :S. LOL, sometimes looks a bit weird -.- Don't know how to explain it here.

Does look over to me too, or maybe its high key processing perhaps?

For me, if I were to walk around I would use UV filter. CPL only when I need to reduce reflection or improve sky blue contrast.

Side note, spam!

I went with the FX path when I only had a D90 back then . Upgraded to D700 with no regrets due to all lens able to use.

Range of course. The DX only lens are for example 17-55, 12-24.

You can't get those range on FX lens.

There's no 17-55 for FX or 12-24 for FX. The FX has 24-70 for 17-55 and also 16-35 for 12-24 for example.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only pro grade DX lens would be the 1755. The rest are just... normal lens where else most FX lens are pro grade. The trinity of primes and zooms for example. Not to mention the tele and super tele f/2.8 primes!

You get what you pay for, so you need to decide for yourself!
