Google is your friend.

I know Canon has some fluoride and UD coating thingy. Zeiss has some T* coating.

I haven't seen any brands with lens such as 24-70 f/2.8 or 70-200 f/2.8 which isn't a pro grade yet Of course I'm referring to the big players.

24-70 f/2.8 non L or non gold ring?

L lens.. Nanocoat... just a way of the company to call their pro grade lens... and to differentiate with the entry level 18-55 for example.

Besides, those range of lens were never meant to be entry levels. Any entry level 24-70 f/2.8 by Nikon or Canon before?

I'm asking for lenses such as 24-70.

My friend's 7D also can take 1080p video on just a Sandisk Ultra II. Not really a big issue for video writting, IMO shooting burst with RAW is the one that is testing the buffer and also memory card write rate.

Wrong comparison. 50mm focal length lenses are easier to manufacture which explains the lower pricing. You should compare the 35mm f/1.8G (DX) against the old 35mm f/2D (FX). FX lens are generally more pricey than DX, and you must be comparing the same focal length since different focal length have different manufacturing cost.

My friend uses a convertor to use the 14-24 on his 5Dmk2, maybe you can try it too then no need to keep 2 systems.

Ahh I see.

I know there is convertor for Canon, but is there a convertor for Nikon to use Canon mount? Besides, you loose the AF capability and also adding up the cost of lens + convertor would be even more. Since you are already paying so much, why bother with a convertor? Not like Nikon doesn't have a 24-70.

Totally agree.

Under LR, I set Vivid as processing profile. It is very close to what Vivid shows on camera.

Zoom can produce bokeh is a ... "weird" statement.

70200 f/2.8 is a zoom lens, 200-400 f/4 is also a zoom lens. Do you think the bokeh is no good?

No.

What technique to make your zoom lens for bokeh? Shoot closer? Find far away background? Those aren't 'techniques' they are just knowledge you can use to your advantage.

Besides i think 70200 at 200mm f/2.8 does better bokeh than 50mm at f/1.8 ._.

You need to understand, aperture is not the only thing affecting bokeh. Focal length does as well, same goes to your distance to your focus point and also the background distance to your focus point.

The more elements, the more image quality degrade. So remove the UV filter.

I will put the ND on then the CPL since you need to turn the CPL for best effect.

I remember seeing the serial number in either LR or Bridge before. Hmm. Cause sometimes I shoot with both D700 and D90, remember got some numbers...

I was checking on my photos EXIF data on Flickr, can't seem to find my camera serial number

D7000 comes with a LCD protector.

Depends on your nego with the shop, since it already comes with the plastic screen protector very unlikely for them to give you a film type already.

But anyways, the Nikon free screen protector is no good. Once you have particle trapped in between, you risk scratching your LCD.

Fortunately, there is no lens from Canon that would lure me to do that.

Tried the 200-400 f/4 at 400mm f/4 before. Amazing! Now I wonder what kind of bokeh would a 400mm f/2.8 yield...

I went there wanting to test the V1/J1... didn't get to

Some 50mm f/1.8G samples ,

What's at 1U?

That's what I was wondering, but this was in Melaka and it was weeks ago unfortunately

LOL. Oh well, that 200-400 can't focus as close I guess.

Yeah, I had some wide angle shot with 14-24 f/2.8. Poisonous! >(

Friend's lens, so borrow and test lor. He has the trinity and also 85G + 50mm f/1.8G. But too bad none of my friends own the 135 f/2 else would be able to play too aiyoyo~

Looks ok to me, self preference I guess.

Close up many lens would have creamy bokeh too

Haha oh well, I bet the Nikon D700 + 50mm f/1.4G can do similar style with post processing. Bokeh wise f/1.2 and f/1.4, I don't think many would be able to tell apart.

The red rings looks like 5dmk2's kit lens . 24-120 or 24-105 lol.

Everytime I see... I cannot stop laughing at the model's face expression... its a troll face hahaha!

Treat picture control as a preset post processing by Nikon. For JPEG that is what you will get, for RAW it will apply the instructions but the RAW file is still intact which you can still change later on on your PC.
