Why not? If not then why improve the iso capability or buy camera with better iso capability?

If one is in a situation where he/she is not allowed to use flash (or some reasons), in lowlight, need to freeze motion with X shutter speed and already on wide aperture. Should he or she under-expose by using lower iso? This will just introduce more noise/grain when under-expose.

In latest Nikon provided beginner guide, it shows and explains very well on the usage of the ISO, why this shot uses ISO6400, etc. I used to limit myself at ISO, learned the hard way finding out how bad the noise/grain due to under-expose shot, affected all my shots.

Justg sharing, nothing wrong with using higher iso if you need it (e.g. when you need the fast shutter speed and certain aperture OR you need to expose the background in night shots and at same time need fast shutter speed, etc)

Can you please link me to this beginner guide please. I always have the tendency to set auto ISO but never got the nerves to really shoot with the setting on (M). Perhaps reading up the guide might enlighten me or some of us. I totally agree, underexposed shots in limiting the ISO will introduce even much higher noise than Higher ISO perfectly exposed.
Matrix metering for this case?

yup ... u got it right ... Sigma 85mm f/1.4 is called Kegma ...

I'm thinking of upgrading my 1.8 to a 1.4, is the sigma any better than the nikkor G?
Tested it once @ the shops, but i find the focus ring is very tight and mounting if not as smooth compared to nikkor on nikon.
anybody wanna poison me?

any taker for my 1.8?

NewNikon 50mm f1.8G? The filter size is larger than the old one as well.

I guess it's going to be using the same body as the 1.4G, price wise should be higher than the 35G. I've also saw FX marked.

At least an alternative for bodies without motor. I bet it's going to be somewhere 800 and above. Thumbs up! Which means the 1.8D will be discon? wonder should I keep the 1.8 and not sell it off.

I think he change from d300s to d700 =)
35mm 1.8g -->35mm 1.4g that y

Just guessing, if it's from a 300s > D700 & he's comfortable with the range of 35, he'll probably opt for a 50mm at least on the 700.
