Of course I know lor...

I think you miss the previous posting.

Agito want to upgrade to FF, D800, but worry lens price, so maybe should get lens first.

As current, he's using D70 with 35mm f/1.8G.
Seems he doesn't need zoom lens, so I suppose the one prime lens is enough for him?

So, if he move on to D800, he was asking if he can use the 35mm f/1.8G DX.

Hence, if he upgrade to FF, he can sell off his 35mm f/1.8G DX, and get the 50mm f/1.8G, which is similar as 35mm on DX body.... plus, it's cheaper and offers more...
If you want 24-70, you'll be like paying for another D700.
I thought you use mostly the 35mm f/1.8G on your D70 now?
So, if you move to FF, you get the 50mm f/1.8G, is just like what you're using now, and it's not cheapo lens.

yes is not cheapo lens but once you buy it can tahan long long long long time XD
and i said 24-70 because i "heard" it is good XD...when times come and my saving is allow to "bleed all at once" then i will drag my friend go test first...wan see the bokeh XD...since last time he show me his normal zoom lens..i think is tamrom or sigma i forget... 24-70 f/2.8 one... he said zoom lens also can produce nice bokeh too.

50mm f/1.8? i can borrow friend's 50mm f/1.8D 
but not so good la because i might borrow for few months till 1 year due to need re-saving money for next lens/ body. 

but then now all of these are dream talk for me XD
wait and see till year end then can save up how much money first 

Errr... That's because Vivid does not do a single thing when you open your NEF under Lightroom. So whatever set is just placebo effect in your mind. It's the same effect like using Standard or Neutral picture style.
I think it all boils down to surface coating / treatment. Where I work in a different industry, we do a lot of surface treatment on metals that we consider company secret / proprietary information. So chances of getting more info is close to non existent.
There is a point of diminishing returns. More elements can give a lot of rise to flare.
Got... Lens mug.
The prices screams of pro price.

I rather have non pro price on a no pro or pro grade lens. 
Very envious seeing SD cards selling much cheaper than CF. 
Usually CF is faster. I think fastest SD is only 30MB/s.
Really? Can you share which website is this? I never knew serial numbers of lenses and camera bodies are embedded in the EXIF?
Then when you put the 50mm on a DX body, some people will find that it becomes too "long". There goes the money spent on the 50mm...
Good quality as using it on the same system? No idea but people are using Nikon's 14-24mm f/2.8 on their FF Canon bodies and getting better results than from their own Canon wide angle lenses. Does that not answer your question partially? 

You can use Nikon lenses on Canon bodies. Not the other way around unfortunately since Canon have bigger mount.
The 24-70mm f/2.8 can be a little long on the D70s. Better test it out first before the 24-70mm f/2.8 becomes a white elephant investment.
The trend that I usually see is using Nikon wide angles on Canon FF bodies where you can afford to have manual focus only using hyperfocal technique. Metering works fine. On something like the 24-70mm, AF becomes more crucial.

yeah i have heard of it. i am just waiting for this latest generation of camera. see what do they offer...

Does it give as good quality as using it on the same system? Does that mean I can use canon 24-70 on a nikon since it is cheaper lol? But i guess it will look kinda weird tho... Haha sry for the noob question here...

the mount is not cheap. plus, you lost autofocus. i don't see the trouble. unless is canon don't have type of lens. or nikon don't have type of lens. and you really need that lens to save your life. if not, don't bother lah. get the nikkor 24-70 lah. (besides, nikkor 24-70 is nicer)

Yalor... more like a syok sendiri effect...chimp at the viewfinder... feel damn syok... tell the models "wah sui ar!" "this and that", but go back home at LR.. eww!! I have to do RAW edit everything from scratch...

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?

do you guys max out the saturation in vivid mode?

haha sorry my fault, i mean zoom-able lens can also produce creamy bokeh with some technique too, can on par with f/1.8

that time i using D70s+ 35mm f/1.8 and he use D90 +18-55 f/2.8 tamtron (if not mistaken haha  )

we that time shoot in same cosplayer then he told me this haha... that time i thought F number lower the better... Xd

i recently purchase a ND 8 from hoya hmc and a B+w MRC CPL filter

because i have my hoya hd filter on my 70-200 do i take out the uv filter 1st then only insert the ND 8 filter and the CPL filter on the ND filter

or

do i put the CPL 1st then only put the ND 8 infront of it

or can i use all 3?

Just got back from my krabi trip and will be leaving to australia tonight

Really? Can you share which website is this? I never knew serial numbers of lenses and camera bodies are embedded in the EXIF?

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...

You should only take Shashinki's price as reference for market price. Hence, you should be able to get better street price than Shashinki's.

Yeah, that's the one I'm mentioning about and I got two of them. I bought mine cheaper than the thread you showed. I also saw SriComp selling the 16GB at RM165 at Low Yat Plaza.

yea, they trawl thru sites like flickr, and hope that the exif data hasnt been completely wiped.

used to own this lens and i am quite happy with the results...

i nv tried the nikkor 12-24 b4 but this is a cheaper lens which suits my need.... distortion is minimal...

UWA lens produces photo of different (wider) perspective... makes ur foreground look bigger... different effect from a standard prime lens...

only downside is the zoom range is very limited and is to me a dedicated UWA lens...

tokina 116 is non motor lens. u must do manual focus on D5100

I just get a Lexar Platinum II 16GB Class 10 (100x/15Mb/s) for RM126! Is it a good buy?

Is the Class 10 important or the 110x /15Mb/s important! I saw some memory card i.e Sandis Extreme HD Class 6 (133x/20Mb/s)

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

Wondering if anyone here is into macro photogragphy?

I'm thinking of getting an SB-29s ,macro ring flash for this use, and impossible to find even used.......anyone know if some pros selling of their old gear?......

I know the latest macro by Nikon is the R1C1, but i can't justify 2.5k for a macro flash, especially for someone who is doing this just for hobby/ part-time work......

Help! My D3100's mirror is jammed in the down position. I can take a photo but what i've got is a blank image since the mirror is not flipping up.

This is not mirror-lock up!

Any ideas about why is this happening?
