from the comments, its because using a large aperture like f/1.8 and f/1.4? if smaller aperture like f/3.5 then it will remain sharp

Nope, I have taken many shots at f/1.4 with recompose technique. It isn't an issue, or rather even if there is differences it isn't big.

oic.. another article here mentioned like what you said, the difference isnt a big deal..

If you recompose in the same plane, then it might work. However if your subject moves slightly front or back, your shot is screwed. Especially when shooting at f1.4.

Sifu do you use center AF point to focus then refocus?
cuz I use other Af point to AF then refocus, image a bit blurry

It appears even sharper when you print them out. I've done 12R prints and they look fine.

if same lens and setting...recompose etc while remaining in focus will of cos depend on distance of subject.
85mm 1.4 with subject 1m away ur dof less than 1cm...go to say 5m away abd becomes around 20cm...enough allowance to recompose.

holy shit batman!

^ I lol'd seriously.

The small size of V1 makes that lens looks like it has it's own ability to capture image without a proper DSLR body.

AF-S and not AF-A or AF-C ?

LOL ~ it's like holding a solid tumbler and snap snap

It will be crazy for a shop to keep stock of lens for each of the color for each of the length

yup Af-S
i tend to get confuse which Af point to Af then recompose
some told me use center while others say use the nearest AF to subject then recompose

Now using nearest af point then recompose instead of center af point but unsure which type would be better to use

This should be ok? in terms of sharpness

C n C please..

^The flash is harsh.

If you can have the light fall softer on the subject, then it will look nicer. Also it will be good if you can do better composition/framing.

That's what they said when the NEX first came out..

Nice fill light there, maybe you should ask her to pose ( she+DSLR aim at end of the bridge ) and take her pose more towards the right side to make the image more story like IMO.

To be honest, no matter how negative people view for this V1/J1, I still think Nikon has something up their sleeve. I will look forward to this camera haha

Well its a new system so its bound to be critic...just wait and see till its release

Also im sure along the line the price will be more affordable (well i hope )

35mm f/1.8 @ wide open eh. Not sure about this lens... but I'll probably suggest you to step down bit.

The fill flash too harsh. You can definitely notice the deep shadow behind the bag and the flash overblown the bag. Probably a bounce or diffused flash will be better
