35mm, it is a Nikon gold ring Unless there is a 50mm gold ring then you can consider.

35mm lah.
or better still, 28mm.

on a side note: 35mm seems to be my normal lens now. based on FF.
35mm f1.4 i will get you end of this year (but which brand i dunno yet)

i got a gold ring.. my wife's hahahahahaha engagement ring

anyway 35mm is a wonderful piece of glass there~
sold the 50mm for the 35mm.. never regret~

28mm f/2.8 or 28mm f/1.4? That f/1.4 is almost non-existent now and besides, the new 24mm f/1.4 is much better at relatively cheaper prices.

Which brand? You're considering Samyang?

On a side note, I thought I saw some pics of you playing with the T/S lens. Is that correct?

for dining purpose...
i would suggest 35mm f2...
used before on my d90...
a very gd combination i would say...
and it hav a very gd MFD...
suitable for close-up oso...

The f/1.4? How much did you get it?

The 35mm f/2.0 is great but I believe KTCY had that already and sold it off because not too pleased with it.

Just tested my D7000 + 17-55 focus with Focus Test Chart. The result is just fine and I aligned it correctly, did I?

eh, when? i mean the photo of me playing with a T/S lens.

as for the 35mm f1.4 it's either nikkor or canon or carl zeiss
it all depends on which next gen camera i am getting. but i really like the carl zeiss one. then it's a question of which mount.

i tried the 28 1.4 before. my friend's. but one of the glass element was cracked at the side. apparently it didnt affect image quality. it's a nice lens i guess but i don't know what's the hoohaa about it lol. maybe i was using it in a wrong way

Sifu film and manual focus

Looks fine.

Errr, sorry. Forget about it since I just saw the EXIF.

Apparently digiloyd just posted a summary of his review of the new Zeiss lens with a D3X.

The 28mm f/1.4 is one of a kind glass that is hand grounded (polished). It is said that it was more of a nocturnal type of lens and it's ability to get sharp images wide open. But then the new 24mm f/1.4 did it one better and was even sharper in the centre as well as the sides wide open.

Sigmalux! Goldfries uses 50 f1.4 also, look at his awesome food shots

it's going to be my choice of lens for the canon and nikon as well. lol.
but i will have to test the nikon version first.

I found the stock USB cable supplied with my D7000 is too short for tethering purposes. Any recommendations on longer cable or extension that can get the job done?

eyefi
or just go any IT store buy usb extensions.

Eyefi different leh.... So normal USB extension will do?

When are you free, so that you can pass me the 'promised' disc?

eyefi can la.
im sure ur laptop got wifi, d7000 got extra sd slot

free most anytime.
u going for the mtv world stage?

anyone know how to upgrade d7000 firmware?

If I recall, the USB cable is the same like any other USB cable. Just get a longer one from any IT shop.

Download the latest 1.02 firmware, get an empty memory card, charge your batteries fully and follow these instructions;
