Made in China? ... I thought it was made in Thailand just like the MB-D10.

Anyways then need to know the pricing, weather it is the counterfeit with plastic body or its the real Nikon with magnesium alloy body.

Yeah, this is the 2nd time I mentioning to you that D7000's BG, the MB-D11 is Made in China and also the 2nd time you mentioning that you thought it's Made inThailand like the MB-D10 tongue.gif

Sorry suffering from short term memory cry.gif . To me, Nikon manufacturing are always Japan --> Thailand --> China... didn't expect D7000's grip to be from China instead of Thailand.

Sounds like its the original Nikon biggrin.gif, I'm not too sure what's the price like going for a MB-D11. As long the price is too cheap to be true, then you need to start confirming if it is genuine or not.

At that kinda price it should be original. Even the MB-D10 is going for about RM670~ if RM300+ then it might be the counterfeit.

Shashinki is selling the MB-D11 at RM499 (Source: http://shashinki.com/shop/nikon-mbd11-mult...ra-p-6592.html)

I bought mine for RM450 from Yannick last time. Need it kinda urgently, therefore didn't survey much for its price and picked from Yannick since he can deliver nearby biggrin.gif

I got my unit from J-One Amcorp Mall, RM6950. Stock was limited at the time I purchased, lots of places ran out of stock ._.

And correct, Yannick sells almost everything smile.gif The other day I ask his quote for 50mm f/1.8G, RM720... zzz...

Btw, using this technique, I tested using these coloured filter before, didn't adjust WB back then, so suppose it already auto adjust for me; The output result turns out like the picture was taken in white lights, when the ambience or place is diferent. So, the output doesn't match the current ambience/feel.
Example: In dinner hall, with yellow lights around, it's more natural for the output to have more warm, but if use the colour filter, the picture (in LCD) turns out different from the current ambience? Thus I remove the colour and shoot without it.
Any ideas?
Like I mentioned, the gel does not give exact WB during shoot. It makes the WB on the subject and the surroundings WB as close as possible. After that, you can tweak the WB in PP to give it more yellowish etc accordingly to your liking.

btw, just got back from nikon pj, they did a very fast job less than a day.
my repair details says - replaced mirror driving unit, togo pcb, firmware updated and ccd cleaning.
no charges at all.
Great that Nikon took care of your problem. rclxms.gif

You never updated your firmware?

My symptom was, lets say I focus on the eye and the hand is in front, you see the hand is sharp. For focus chart or lets say words, it focus on the front.
That's front focus. Not Ford Focus.

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. rclxub.gif

QUOTE(Everdying @ Aug 13 2011, 08:05 AM)
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.

QUOTE(0168257061 @ Aug 13 2011, 08:21 AM)
Trying out the 24mm f/1.4 in Nikon KLCC , its so nice ! thumbup.gif

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

QUOTE(0168257061 @ Aug 13 2011, 08:32 AM)
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  laugh.gif
Agreed. The thin DoF and background blur is very surreal for wide angle. Price also very surreal. sweat.gif

QUOTE(celciuz @ Aug 13 2011, 08:37 AM)
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 tongue.gif)
Like Nike says, Just Do It. biggrin.gif

QUOTE(Darkripper @ Aug 13 2011, 07:02 PM)
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;

QUOTE(babyk @ Aug 14 2011, 01:07 AM)
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
