no.. only sometimes.

Initially felt so. afterward not anymore. well it depends on person thought and preference.
as for me I thought of having motor is an extra value where as having no built in motor just fine.
because eventually you will upgrade to AF-S lenses

and you just conclude your doubt

yeah was tempting to own 50 1.8D and having the built in motor. but now no more. maybe for tokina 11-16 only.

it shouldn't be blink blink. green dot has to stay there. if it is blink means it is close to focus.


for metering goes for + sign means more light comes to your sensor (over)
on the other hand for - sign means less light comes to your sensor (under)

I usually turn on the AF assist or using torch function of my phone

no you don't need to have an assistant.
turn on the torch make it in focus, lock the focus change it to manual focus. then turn off the torch adjust the exposure then shoot.

if you are expecting some candid shoot in low light. I'd say it's pretty hard lor..
flash? AF assist? torch.. all these things grab attentions

I did once using torch light.

35mm 1.8

D7000 initially place in mid end level, however due to technology constraint back in d300s era which suppose to be an equivalent class with 7d. D7000 giving more benefit in term of noise control and so on. therefore there are some people including me saying D7000 is the best DX sensor camera for the current nikon line up.

where D7000 suppose to be in the same class with 60D however in my opinion D7000 win hand down to 60D.

I myself a Nikon user therefore my post might be sounds bias toward Nikon. However I try as best to not bias toward any brand.

well.. I got a question how do you differentiate vibrant and saturated?

I don't think it is dust. it will most probably diffraction. since you are using F@22

shoot RAW edit later

bro what lens did you use?

never thought that was 50 1.8D
I like the eye of the first picture.

hi scotty.. Fill flash would be nice, or you can use another metering mode like spot or center. anyway are you using matrix metering for this one?

lens matter more in term of output where as camera for convenient. like better AF system, better metering system, more focus point, more agronomic, higher ISO capability.
lens affect color and capability to use certain aperture as well as the focal length.
good luck for your purchase
