selective color.
make the whole background b&w.
remove abit of red from the baby.

u tried 70-300VR on which cam?
on D7000 its fast enough.

for me, its definitely faster than 18-105.
especially when tracking subjects.
perhaps when shooting stills, u wont notice the difference that much.

i would guess all depends how 'unfilled' the card is, and what kind of lens.
if the card doesnt have a dealer stamp, then u have to get one before filling in the date.
also obviously if u bring in a long discontinued lens and said u got it a few months ago...they're not going to believe u unless u show a receipt.

whyyyy...just so it'll look like a 70-200 from far far away?
im going to be putting on a collapsible rubber hood on mine cos im lazy.

does urs use an adapter?
or is it the one that doesnt need?

ohh ok.
cos got newer version that dont need adapter.

i saw scott kelby using collapsible rubber hood on his 70-200 vr2...so im curious to try it

if u dont intend to do lots of cropping its fine, as its softer than 80-200.
better top up abit more get used 80-200...unless of cos ur body got no motor...

waiting for nikon to announce 85mm 1.8 AF-S

nikonrumors also posted info on a new nikon patent.
55-300 f/2.8-4...thats going to be one interesting lens.

which goes to show sharpness isnt everything if the feel is not there

the higher contrast on the braces gives illusion that its sharper abit.
tho the creases on the shirt / blouse / whatever looks sharper.

browse thru the apps store and i've seen software that can read raw files.
whether it converts it or not before importing i dunno, cos i hate apple products and dont like using them.

one guy in the buy thread said his d90 works in ipad.

i know 1 media sports guy who currently has these.
d3s, d3, d7000.
70-200, 400/2.8, 600/4...apart from the usual 12-24, 24-70 and tc1.4.
actually most of them will have these anyway...some may add on a 200-400/4 and 300/2.8.

if u can get a spot say 3/4 down the sideline, 70-200 may just do.

i thought crumpler there was renovating.
means they closed down? good la...replace by nikon...tho wonder who will run it.

should be original gray set.

since u know the answer then why ask?
so u saying those are fake?

Taobao is?
u referring to that kuantan seller in garage sales?
then imo, either those are stolen or fakes cos i dont think nikon ever ships directly from china.

imo, its too much yellow.
try to make it look more washed out something like this.
then maybe u can add abit of noise to it and maybe vignette it abit.
