I noticed there are several versions of Nikon 85mm f1.4? Which is the best and how much it costs? Could someone enlighten me? Thought of getting a 85mm f1.4 G.

Ya kan , but u already got 1.2L II , where need to worry tongue.gif
just buy the 85G wink.gif
using D3x or s ?  laugh.gif
*
Yea, the price of the D is pretty close to G. By all means one shot go G.

No moolah buy D3x or S la. Probably will settle with a cheapo D700 first. How much a SB900 flashbang would cost?

No problem
The best so far, 85mm f/1.4G. Color, AF accuracy...
SB900 goes for about 1550~1600.
*
Thanks for the info mate. Target locked on 85mm f1.4 G.

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Jun 15 2011, 10:34 AM)
If I recall, jumping ship is for people who cannot afford. But keeping both systems is something else ! 
I used to have 3 systems, then discarded everything and left Canon. Now butt itchy wanna get back Nikon.

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Jun 15 2011, 10:34 AM)
In other words, what does Nikon have that Canon does not? In the same way, what does Canon have that Nikon does not? Just curious.
*
FishEye 8-16mm, Tilt Shift lenses, f1.0 and f1.2 wicked lenses, plenty more. smile.gif

QUOTE(celciuz @ Jun 15 2011, 11:00 AM)
f/1.2 primes with AF! < Something Nikon doesn't have yet...

Yesh

CANNOT RESIST !!!

Buy buy buy! LoLz

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Jun 15 2011, 02:53 PM)
Nothing to shout about. I would not pay so much for a f/1.2.

For a 58mm f/1.2 Noct, that's a different matter.  biggrin.gif
*
Plenty of Nikonians would buy 50mm f1.2 anytime if it's available compared to jumping and getting a 58mm f1.2 biggrin.gif

QUOTE(celciuz @ Jun 15 2011, 03:10 PM)
I would insta grab the 50mm f/1.2 with AF if it is available >_< But price tag cannot be too jialat.. maybe about 5k since Canon's about that?
*
Yea, Canon's is somewhere around there. The 85mm f1.2 is crazy.

You are not familiar with the legendary 58mm f/1.2 Noct?
You have samples?
The 58mm f/1.2 Noct owns them all.
*
If Nikon gonna produce another 50mm f1.2, do you think they will make it worse than the 58mm f1.2 Noct which is already decades old? Another reason why Nikonians would rather get the new 50mm f1.2 is AF instead of MF. smile.gif

yea, mostly old junk lenses.

At F1.8 any moving subject can be tough at time to get in focus, heck even with F2.8 also if you or your subject move abit already gone case since the DOF is very thin. Same goes with F1.4 tongue.gif

Lens focusing speed is an important factor to consider too.

just tested 80-200 2.8 from BTS.
kinda hard to shoot at 200mm w/o VR. =\ maybe just my shaky hand

Try applying the 1/ (Focal Length theory * Body sensor) theory. smile.gif
