feeling left out...


LFC's latest signing, Charlie Adam.

thnks for replying

Yeah, should be about that price. Becareful about warranty since you would probably not get local support if you require calibration assistance.

But still the AF-S 50mm f/1.8G is half that price and you don't need to worry about anything.

What are the reasons that are making you still decide that are really making you consider f/1.4?

From what I've read, the new 1.8G beats the 1.4D.

Zeiss or Nikon?

Sorry but it may be your style. I find the lens flare you put in PP a little annoying after a while. Two or three pics in a series is fine but putting it in almost all your pics is a little overdone.

+1
quite wash out, whole photo lesser colourful.

Go search around LYN or PhotoMalaysia, I don't think it's over RM2K for official Sigma Malaysia set.

What are the reason you want a 1.4? Do you really need the 1.4? Is the price difference worth to pay?

Check out the new 50mm f/1.8G, it's around RM650, way way WAY cheaper than the 1.4s around and performs very well (if not better), and it's sharp wide open. There're many amazing sample photos posted in PhotoMalaysia almost everyday.


No problem bro, good luck on your purchase and enjoy!


I think he mentioned before that he prefer to expose for the skin tones, and he doesn't really bother about others.

Comparing a 50mm f/1.8D and G, which is worth getting ? As in, G is AF-S while D isn't. Sifus please suggest if it's worth getting G over D (not much of bokeh fan here btw.)

From 50mm 1.8G wide open

You can test mine, but its on a different mount

Hard 2 find Carl Zeiss for Nikon/Canon mount except if specially ordered.

I know one dude brought a D3x and bought a 35mm f1.4 Carl Zeiss MF lens from a shop before.

Hahaha thanks but i dont think i have the time because im leaving on sunday d... still thinking T_T

After calibration of lens and body is the nikon warranty void? that is what i am afraid off actually

Just potrait lens, and a friend of mine is using the 1.4D and adviced me to take the the 1.4 instead of 1.8 if I can afford..

because after buying a 50mm I dont think of buying any more 50mm in the future.. so i thought of buying something that could last me a long time, previously i was thinking of nikon's 50mm 1.4d/1.4g or the sigma's 50mm 1.4 hsm

since the 1.8G is cheaper and better than the 1.4d ill trust you on that

and the reason why i was leaning towards the sigma is because its huge n bluky, i love it when i held it compareed to the nikon 1.4d which was small and it felt really weird for me

Ill be leaving to hong kong this sunday! cant wait! lol..

Btw on my manual of the SB-700 speed light it says that the SB-700 cannot be used with IX-Nikkor lenses.. (What does this actually mean)

http://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/manuals/Speedlights/SB-700.pdf Page A-5

Thank you for the recommendation! haha Im starting to think about the 1.8 now.. Price difference im not really sure but if it really does give better pictures im alright with it ...

there are people in other forums also mentioning that d7000 has their own motor, so the G series of the newer lenses is not worth the price and told everyone to use the D instead

Thank you all for your kind time helping me out ofcourse buying so much of equipments would not make me a better photographer..

oh btw i bought this book from times at pavilion its called magic lantern d7000 multimedia workshop.. not really useful thou since most of the information can be actually obtained on the internet so don't get that hehe

Nikon 50mm 1.8g's bokeh is better than the d one..

Hey thank you and the others for the reply.
i only have the basic lens kit with the canon, which i plan to do the same with the d7000, except maybe a wide angled lens.
BTW any recommended shops to get it from?

thanks

i got mine at the 1st floor at digital mall for rm3.8k i think the girl who served me was poh young

the price is cheaper here in msia for the d7k so what the heck i just picked it up so i could learn how to use the camera 1st before i went to hk instead of taking auto all the time if i were to purhcase it in hong kong

I think the issue is not because one has AF-S and the other not. It's because that the 1.8G (which happens to have AF-S) is a sharper lens wide open and better performance at other apertures compared to the 1.8D.

Even buying the D3X alone is difficult. But my guess is you can get the D3X with the Zeiss lens at Keat Camera.

Anyway, what I read was digiloyd got a sample of the ZF mount and wanted to do a head to head test with Nikon's 35mm f/1.4 but had to return the Zeiss due to some problems.

Don't just trust me. Find out and read it for yourself.

They are referring to lenses like the older AF 85mm f/1.4D and the AF-S 85mm f/1.4G where the newer G lens just marginally better.

If you want a real good book on the D7000, get Thom Hogan's one.

For bodies, please don't purchase them in SG or HK unless you're not interested in getting warranty and support as bodies only have local warranty (i.e. support only where the body is purchased). It's ok if you purchase Nikon lenses because they have international warranty.

Focusing is a big deal according to my friend who owns a 85mm f/1.4D. Poisoned him with my f/1.4G last Sunday. He ordered one on Monday arrived on Wed lol~

He said sharpness not so big deal, but focusing accuracy is what made him jumped.

its T* one.

its not flare, it just simple one big click of brush. it become nice when i print on album. the color also rander nicely when im print on album. yea i know on web abit sux but after i put on my layout, it just simply nice and my client love it~!

i got from j-one, 3850...coz i go there trade in my d3100
nice price...

want to ask u guys, is this lens sharp enuff to replace my 1870?

Lol... you prefer buying retail price or over-quoted price than street price? Even Shashinki also listing the item tagged at RM2195 only which considered higher than street price

I remember I asked Foto Selangor few months back and it was RM1.8K+/-

Given if I'm in your shoe, I'll pick the 50mm f/1.8G anytime over the Sigma 50mm f/1.4
