about the back n front focussing issues on the sigma, would it be ok if i just use manual focus just like the carl zeiss...

speaking of carl zeiss anywhere in Malaysia I could test them?

You have sufficient time to set your Manual settings or one exposure setting for the entire event?

How about using the flash for fill-flash, TTL and TTL-BL as well? Did you ever face SB-900 reaching its overheat limits in your event shooting experience?

My SB-900 already get overheated after multiple exposures at f/5 ~ f/7.1 and I'm getting worry if I continuously reaching its limit will cause the unit to be faulty

It's about whether "rajin" or not, but rather "sempat tak?" in a event where movements change swiftly and required to capture the moments at best possible.
When I shoot 6~7 shots in a short period of time on group photo or quick movement of the event @ f/5 ~ f/7.1 ISO800 (inside house), my SB-900 will reach its max heat on TTL or TTL-BL

Well, the aperture value automatically goes to f/5 ~ f/7.1 when I use Programmed Auto mode.

Izzit Agnes dominated the whole DLE this round.....? While others like..... not noticeable?

Wow, one year with kit lens only. Ok ok... that should make sense

Well, if you never try any bokeh lens before and you wanted to achieve such effect, the 50mm f/1.8G will feel like another new horizon for you when you're experiencing it

Sometime, not everything related to skill although it is one big chunk of overall

Like kayshoun said, you should be on the right pick for 50mm f/1.8G instead of 35mm f/1.8G for bokehness.

OK, let's get this back on track.

Can we start with how to get accurate skin tone? Some of my photos taken in an event recently turned out to be yellowish like kena sunset sun

I tried to use spot metering, but then it'll overblown the photo. Any guide and tips on this?
RM990 @ Foto Selangor. May able to get further discount but then it lies on your negotiation skill.

Hmm.. I never judge by skin color (in post processing) I usually try reference the eye color, slight milky white and the skin I just leave it. But I see many of my friends like to make the skin a lighter a few shades, esp for female portraits.    got to learn how to to that one of these days...

wow so high iso,      what camera body is that? and do you shoot raw or in JpG or TIF ?

my d7000 now in nikon pj for oil spot issues, will find out on monday if they will replace the shutter mechanism or not.

Is it a common prob for D7000 or just happens on u? Im planning to get a D7000 soon...

Don't worry much, most dslr under go maintenance like sensor cleaning etc. after heavy usage

do correct me if I'm wrong

Guys, I got a technical question to ask here.

Does the focus alignment on the lens and the body can get misaligned when used over time and need to be recalibrated? Does it happen even on first party lenses too?

I'm figuring out whether is it due to the change of my techniques recently that caused more of photos getting slightly blur recently, I'm using focus and recompose quite a lot lately. I feel a lot of my earlier shots
are much sharper....

Thanks in advance.

Street price for 70-200 VRII is RM6,950 as per my last update last month.

Guys, is it worth upgrading from D90 to D7000 now? Knowing Nikon DSLR cycle, D7000 replacement will only come next year… and if D800 comes out in October, I still can't afford it ;P
