Guys hope you guys can provide me some input on this.

I'm using a SB600 with D90.

Recently the flash has been acting weird. When I snap a picture the flash power is very low and the picture appear will be under expose and the SB600 ready light will be blinking 3 times. I've understand when the ready light blinks it means that I need to tweak the right settings for the exposure. But the thing here is the 3 times blinking occur so frequently and intermittently when I am taking picture of the same thing in the same environment. It just doesn't make sense when the flash work at one snap or two snap and the consequent snap it will keep blinking and then work again and it goes on.

Is that a sign that the flash is gone case?

I would think it's out of this world...

Anyway, just for the sake of discussion, the 400mm f/2.8 VR at it's MFD at 2.9m gives a 0.77cm DoF at f/2.8. The 300mm f/4 at it's MFD of 1.45m gives a 0.44cm DoF at wide open f/4.

Depends on how you would like your bokeh to be like... If blurry / dreamy type of background like the samples celciuz has posted, you need to be very close to your subject when using the 24mm f/1.4. At other normal distances at f/1.4 wide open, your background will be slightly blurred and the end result gives you a typical 3D-like image rendering on the subject provided your subject remains sharp. For the 24-70mm f/2.8, I grade it more as a general type of lens that can do most things excellently.

If you feel the 24-70mm f/2.8 is fine, so be it. It's a great lens (one of the best zoom lens out there) and it's your money to begin with.

I guess as much. So it's only body serial number for the moment.

LOL I agree with you that 24mm and 25.5mm is very minute but the effect from 24mm to 25.5mm is a change of 84 degrees angle of view to 79.3 degrees or so. Focal length on the wide end is always greatly exaggerated than say at the tele end.

Looks great. Wah... How come you got several new toys to test? I saw a 14-24mm f/2.8 in the bunch too.

On a side note, me thinks Miya should have won.

Hard to tell. What batteries are you using? How old are they?

@celciuz = 50 1.8G? Awesome!

5D Mark II + 50 f1.2 sample

^ color overcook imo.

ok with my calibrated lcd...

Looks awesome with my iPad

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.

Very creamy bokeh?

Close up many lens would have creamy bokeh too

Same here, cool colors imo

both are true XD

the colour reminds me peacock

So, this is the so called better colour? Firstly, it looks fake and colour can be adjusted if you want, unless the photog don't know it can actually be done.
Thirdly, the pic even at such small resolution, you can see it look like water colour painting or doll, look at the face and hair, and it looks like some hard sharpening too?

I think someone previously posted some really nice shot of canon 50mm f/1.2 bokeh;
This has nothing special really? If you don't say, who or how many would've thought it's done with f/1.2? or Canon 5D MKII? The colour, first thing comes into mind would be bump up saturation?

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.

Use longer focal length and shoot closer also can.
Use 105mm f/2.8 Macro shooting close up, mebbe can give even creamier effect? Plus superb details?

yay nice pic. KLPF stand for what ...

KL photography festival

not this photo again

saw this many times hahaha... i think they purpose do one la
