I suppose you're trying to say... why bother 50mm prime (single focal length) when you can have it covered with 18-55mm zoom lens.
LOL I have 3 lenses that cover 24mm.

35mm 1.8 is not super slow la, obviously cannot compare to the pro lenses, but still there are even slower ones out there.
for what its worth, its a decent AF, afterall its most likely not going to be used for shooting fast moving stuff anyway.
Actually, even pro ones like the 24mm f/1.4 and 35mm f/1.4 ain't the fastest focusing lens. They still misfocus in low light and when used with non-cross type AF sensors.

You fly all the way to KL just to try out the 24mm f/1.4?

Kinda nice dof produced , the wide prime makes the subject like pop up from the background haha.
But then if you can afford just buy it lah

Agreed. The thin DoF and background blur is very surreal for wide angle. Price also very surreal.

Maybe when I need it then consider buying, at the moment I love my current set. xD (okay still trying to control myself to resist

)
Like Nike says, Just Do It.

Since normally i really cant get the colour saturation that i wanted... and really confused about the hyperfocal method...
Hyperfocal distance is a distance when focused at, all objects at distances from half of the hyperfocal distance out to infinity will be acceptably sharp.
Taking 18mm and f/8 as an example, the hyperfocal distance of that lens on a D7000 is 6.7 feel from where you are. If you get the camera to focus 6.7 feet from where you are, subjects that are from 3.35 feet in front of you (half the 6.7 feet) to infinity will be acceptably sharp.
If you're in doubt about DoF with different lenses and at different focal lengths, look it up here;

I only shoot RAW when I am doing commercial shots for large printing
I think most people shoot RAW because they are afraid of screw up the picture and with RAW, they can adjust more
But I don't really shoot RAW even doing commercial now
You must be a pro now.
