battery grip.
some will call it a vertical grip.

the crop is not in the lens lerr babe
it's on the sensor

therefore, 35mm lens will always be a 35mm lens... but due to the smaller sensor size for DX sensor camera, the point of view is 'tighter/smaller'.

one can use the same 35mm lens for a micro 4/3 which has an even smaller sensor and the point of view is even tighter.

but it will still give you a view of 35mm

you guys used/seen a projector before i assume.

the sensor is like the white screen on the wall.
the image of the projector is being created by the lens in the projector.

if you have a smaller white screen (DX sensor), what will happen?
if you have a bigger white screen (FX sensor), what will happen?

do bare in mind that the projector was projecting the same image using the same lens at the same focal length. hope this helps.

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)

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

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 think comparing sharpness of the 24-70 and the 17-55 is like looking at angels dancing on a pin head. you will probably go blind.

my phone's camera can do that. don't have to get a new system.

for those who are thinking of getting a D7000 + sb900, don't get it now.
nikon malaysia are giving them out for free.
3 units only though

nikon 10th anniversary

enjoy

*ahem*

i am not the judge this time round. i was one of them for the previous one (heartfelt moment)
there were 5 of us judges to ensure a balance sort of marks giving

but i can tell you that the images that i have seen on this forum, some of them at least, have potential leh

i think made in malaysia charger will not fully charge your batteries whereas made in japan charger will fully charge your batteries

hahaa
so sorry
i was just being sarcastic. it was meant to be a joke

they haven't even replaced the d300s, d700 and d3s
and people here are expecting a replacement of the d7000?

internet age kids nowadays

hahaa yeah
and if iphone 5 really was released in oct, come may people will ask when is iphone 6 coming out

she was david blaine's apprentice

i don't think there are any worlds apart difference between DSLR today, are there? well, it all depends on what media/medium you view the photographs from. if it's on your LCD screen, my phone camera is more than enough in producing good results. but then again, like what you have mentioned, it depends on the monitor and whether or not it's being calibrated or not.

if it's on print, there are even more things that one should consider.

all in all, if the photographs taken by one is as 'normal' as the 'relatives who take those photos also', then of course people will start to compare or nit pick on technical stuffs / noise level / white balance, etc.

nobody said iwan baan's architecture photographs are 'architecturally wrong' and the distortion is bad and stuffs like that. people only said that he is one of the better and more daring architecture photographers today

what is WYSIWYG?

ohh... then a photograph can never achieve the what you see is what you get effect

for those who keep on seeing noise even at low iso setting

expose right

it's all about your exposure, behbey
