wah, is that your book rack? So neat and tidy.

ya read that. Since im going to TS area tomorrow, just hoping can get it there, if possible at least 690 lo

Is this standard price for Foto Selangor? Or price for frequent buyer etc?

If can get that price, I will buy one there. Where is the most nearest Foto Selangor in KL?

o. pertama, maybe I can go lunch time later.

When u bought it? Can I say u refer me to the shop?

Heck, they accept card onot? Or cash only?

I went to Foto Selangor at Pertama Compleks just now, served by a graceful Chinese lady, bought 50mm 1.8g for Rm650 and extra batt for RM190, Memory card for RM100.

Paid by card band no additional charges.

Im not sure cheap or exp the extra batt or memory card, but I believe 50mm 1.8g for Rm650 is the lowest I see so far.

Thanks gnome for the info.

Memory card: Sandisk 16Gig SDHC Class 4 = RM100
Battery: Nikon EN EL14 = RM190
Lens: 50mm 1.8g = RM650

Credit card, no extra charges

Dear all sifus,

So, I bought the 50mm 1.8g and try to shoot with it.

1) I’m sure my subject was in focus, why some pic being sharp and some being blur? Is it because I shake and cost blur? It seems no such blur when I use the kitlens, is it because the way I hold the camera? The new lens no VR?

2) What is the dial in the middle of the lens, that’s an infinity sign, then some numbers, and when I focus, the numbers will move, what is it?

Appreciate your input.

Quick Question, the coming Arsenal or Liverpool / Chelsea football match, can we bring our dslr in?

Not trying to take picture on the field, just thought it would be heaven to take picture of the fans.

nah, i bought one, few days ago, and this is the 1st session i go our and shoot with it.

U put me to shame too, the vignetting is through effect with Lightroom software, hardly my skill.

Very fun lens especially for DX camera without motor that im using. Go for it.

1) The kid moves. She found me taking picture and stare at me, and when she's at between the flowers, i snapped right way.

2) 2nd image, the mother is moving away from me, maybe its my technique not so accomplish yet.

I'm pretty new to photography, i believe my hand kind of move, or maybe my technique not so accomplish, i find it hard sometimes to get sharp picture on the move, maybe because im used to the kit lens VR and now without VR its kind of hard to get crystal sharp image in those uncontrol environment.

Or maybe because 1st time going street to take picture, it could be either:

1) i focus in haste and hence i point at the wrong place.
2) im in Aperture mode, and put it f/1.8 the whole session. Then only i learned, in street, to tell the story, i cant always blur.

In a control environment, crystal clear, nothing to complaint.

I actually enjoy this lens better than the kit lens. hehe

Sifu please correct me and teach me.

Wah, sharp,

but then, is it because its non moving object, models, flowers etc, hence easier to shoot it sharp?

How about those moving subject, and under low light?
