Probably... skills and techniques mature as more and more practices on shooting along the time. By the way, which of the 39 points in D7000 are cross sensors?

No matter whether the lens is DX or FX.... putting the lens on a DX body will resultant in 1.5x of the lens focal length.

Therefore, 35mm DX lens on DX body will become 35mm x 1.5 = 52.5mm equivalent on FX.

Just tried out the bracketing function... D7000 equipped with 3aeb compared with 9aeb for the semi-pro bodies and above.

Well... I thought with one click and will capture 3 photos altogether. But it's only one per shutter

Or should I use CL (Continuous Low) to capture all 3 shots per single shutter click?

In my case, I still finds the 50mm f/1.8G more crispier than the 17-55 f/2.8.

I just went for a trip during the 3 days holidays break and been carrying D7000 + BG + 17-55 and the SB900 in the bag all the time with me

My gf however said the D7000 has better grip than the D5100 although she's thin. In addition, she said the D7000 weight just balance enough too.

Hmm... yet to test the quality comparison between 50mm f/1.8G and 17-55 f/2.8G shooting at 50mm f/2.8 altogether. Will test it out and post the result here when available

Spotted a number of dark spots on the photo when I shoot at f/14, not visible at f/4. But weird enough that randomly at f/2.8 will be able to notice one or two spots.

Could it be the dust on the filter or the sensor? How should I clean it if it's sensor? Just blow inside?

Yeah, I got it... but I only have one lens with me at the moment

Well, get 24-70 altogether in your belt for your preparation to FX

I bought the 17-55 instead of 24-70. 17-55 is much needed for me now because I'm still on DX

24-70 has no VR as well. In fact if memory serves me right, Nikkor's lenses with aperture f/2.8 and larger has no VR such as 17-55 f/2.8, 24-70 f/2.8, 35 f/1.4, 85 f/1.4 respectively. Unless tele zoom lens such as 70-200 or smaller aperture such as 16-35 f/4

VR is not necessarily required for large aperture and short focal length lens.

FYI, I have sold my kit lens 18-105 after I have gotten myself the 17-55. I would say 18-105 has no match against the 17-55 in all aspect except the further reach range unless you put in light weight as an advantage.

At times, I find myself the need of wide end at 17 or 18 on DX when I'm doing shooting for events (like Everdying mentioned too). That's my main concern in getting 17-55 instead of 24-70 because I need it and I'm foreseeing that I'll be on DX quite a while.

I would like to see 17-55 or 24-70 equipped with VR, but I doubt we will see it anytime soon. Initially I have doubt on handling 17-55 without VR as I'm used to VR on the kit lens, but that ain't the case as I expected

Added on September 4, 2011, 11:21 pmThis has been debated before, in conclusion... short focal length + big aperture like f/2.8 not necessarily to be equipped with VR

I would love to get the 24-70 over the 17-55 previously, but lacking of the wide end will make me suffers especially in a tight area.

I don't know about you, but I find the 17 is sufficient for my need. No problem in covering group shots, but not talking about landscape.

Then, that would be the time when flashgun to be brought out

Given if stage situation, using 17-55 or 24-70 will be relatively lack of reach. I bet these two lenses aren't mean for those. If that's the case, the 70-200 VR will be much more suitable.

Isn't the D7000 already equipped with 100% viewfinder? In long run, I hope to reach FX and keep the DX as my backup

Yet to experience such situation... but... given that kind of situation where you'll hit 1/15 even at f/2.8, I bet you'll have problem focusing too.

Round viewfinder?

FX has different type of viewfinder? I do not know at all

Googled. Yeah, D700 has a round type viewfinder. Any advantage over rectangle type?

Apologize in advance if I'm wrong, given at f/2.8 ~ f/4, with that kind of lighting should be able to hit at least 1/60 at ISO800 ~ ISO1600, isn't?

Never has experience with that kind of stage light yet, but couple of times I back focused when against a subject with bright backlit

Well, only short focal length with f/2.8 from Nikon has no VR while the tele lens such as 70-200 has it.

Old ma

Anyway, do you think Nikon will refresh 17-55 with N coat?

It may poke my heart if they refreshed the 17-55 since I just got mine not long ago

OT: You working in IT field kah?

http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/80-200mm-history.htm

Superseded by 70-200 VR2, not consider "old" already meh?

The mentioned can be attached on D7000 too without vignetting? What are the combo required?

Ouch... how you broke it?

I skipped 50 and went for 17-55 from 18-105 coz waiting for the new 50 to be launched
