I'm not shooting any portraiture yet, mostly happenings and event flow. I do receive such request before from the bride's mother reminding me to wash the wrinkles off her face

Almost 5 times she reminded me for the morning session alone.

I'm yet to move into serious editing or PP, I'll let my friend handle that at the moment while I'm getting my shots better

This is when and why good makeup artist is very very very crucial

I have friends attracted to a bridal studio not because of the stunning photos, but because the makeup on the their makeup artist

You gotta understand how Aperture relates to Depth of Field (DOF) and again, not to worry much about ISO at the moment. You'll be fine at range from 1600 to 3200.



Anyone, I'm not sure if I gotten the link here or somewhere else. I came across a page translated from Chinese if I'm not mistaken which they go into details in comparing between the new 50mm f/1.8G and 50mm f/1.8D. Please if anyone would post the link again? Thanks

Actually, what are the key differences between FX and DX beside the crop factor and focus points?

For example:

17-55 f/2.8 (25.5-85.5 after multiply with factor) on D7000/D300s VS 24-70 f/2.8 on D700.

Is there really significant difference on the photo quality output of the combination above?

Yeah, I do read this too that ISO toleration will be much better on the larger sensor.

However, with the new technology from Nikon especially the chipset EXPEED 2, the ISO performance has been very great and many claimed it's comparable to D700?

Well, perhaps the refreshed D700 model will re-open the gap again

Camera ergonomic, max burst shots and focus points doesn't really much affect photo quality. Then it's more to user preferences and adaptation for what's holding.

What I'm trying to point out is, would the photo delivered by the two combinations above are almost the same quality par?

Therefore beside ISO and DOF, are there anything else?

Well, it can't be helped as most (but not all) people will denotes that pricer gears = much more professional. APS-C is always inferior to APS-SLR as in photo quality roundup. Hence, people see D300s/D300/D7000/D90 as non-professional photographer.

D700's replacement should be an interesting opener for the new FX range. Should incorporates more or less the new parts and technology from both D3s and D7000. Hopefully I'll be able to grab hold of it someday after it's released

Well again, SD and CF wouldn't affects any photo quality except CF card is faster than SD.

If you could put yourself in such situation, it can be easily concluded that you're one that careless with your gears. Nuff said.

Dynamic range as in colour reproduction? Does the Nanocoat make huge different in photo quality reproduction?

If you're in my shoe, would you be recommending me to take the 24-70 f/2.8 instead of the 17-55 f/2.8 and next work out on my way to FX? It could be 1 ~ 1.5 years to get myself to FX provided if the D700's replacement to be priced at almost the same range.

Or perhaps the 16-35 f/4 VR Nanocoat?

Wow, I wonder what kind of shop you walked into. Anyway, Foto Selangor at Ground Floor of Pertama Complex is offering the lens at RM650. Even if they did not offer this price at the very beginning when you asked, a little negotiation will able to get it at RM650 even for not regular.

Anyway, the retail price is RM798. That's the highest possible it should go after it's officially being launched in Malaysia.

Anyone here like reading and do read books about photography? Any good book to recommend?

Books of Photography's Philosophy?

deleted. mistaken.

Not too worry, 35mm f/1.8G is at RM750, just a hundred top up from 50mm f/1.8G

If you're looking for bokeh, isn't the 50mm f/1.8G will serve you better than the 35mm f/1.8G?

Indeed 35mm is wider and better at full portrait photography against the 50mm which more likely half portrait.

Good to know what you wanted. Good luck with your purchase

It sounds like a flashgun will do you better than wide aperture.

You mean you found a friend that can borrow you flashgun? Did you try it personally?

Do you really need a backup battery? What's your battery percentage level after your occasional shooting length? What's your current memory size and do you shoot in RAW?

Hope you not make the wrong decision by going for the 35mm f/1.8G first after your justification
