no need to buy any of the V1 / J1 lenses except for the 10mm 2.8

Both the body and body grip are kinda robust. Unless you "gasak kuat enough" enough to spoil it

did you try the + - scroll beside your view finder on the right?

lmao!!

besides, do welcome me as i just jump from the White territory to the Darkside XD   

D7000 + 50mm F1.4G   

Still looking for a 77mm Zeiss filter.

The Nano-coat version come in latter version / batch replacing the previous one. When I bought my 77mm XS-Pro UV, M'sia still yet to has Nano-coat version stock. Anyway, from what I could sum up from their official website, it seems that the Nano-coat only helps in easier cleaning whilst the rest performance remained the same.

Seriously... you wash the filter with soap?

It could be possible because when scrubbing the filter, possibly there would be rough particle which may scratch it. That's why when using LENSPEN to clean the filter, 1st step is to use the brush to sweep away any particles on the filter before scrubbing it with the carbon tip. Same goes with car, we spray water from top down to wash away rough particles before starting to scrub with soap otherwise it may scratch the car.

Not sure... mine is non-nano too if not mistaken


B+W XS-Pro Digital UV 77mm by CY Pixels, on Flickr
My box looks like this.
When did you bought yours ah?

My filters so far no scratches yet... HD x2 and XS-Pro x1...

I bought mine early June and according to MPA, the Nano-coat is to replace the non Nano-coat version. Hence, new stock will eventually become Nano-coat version after the initial batch/stock of non-Nano cleared. There should be no such thing as selection between Nano and non-Nano in the market because it's more like a revision or replacement.

And at that time of June when I'm asking around, the B+W distro in M'sia yet to carry any Nano version yet.
My box should be exactly the same like both of yours. Well... why you used soap to *wash* the filter instead of proper tool such as Lenspen to clean it?

all these talk of filters and no one talks about the nikon NC ones?

If more focal points got what use? eg.(D5100 11 vs D7000 39)

At that price range, I would go for B+W XS-Pro anytime to be honest. I paid less than that for my XS-Pro back then  But now I think about there gua.

I use some cheap vitacon.. lol~~ tat time noob.. dunno filter for what.. (except to protect my front element).. now that I begin my night photography.. i almost always remove the filter.. not THAT apparent in day-2-day shots.. but long exposure on AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G causes some terrible ghosting.. >_< remove the filter seems to significantly reduce that problem..

can't disagree with the ghosting of the 35mm.. it's just... baaaadd~~ but i still love that lens.. the kit lens is sort of my... wide angle lens for group photo or tight fit landscape.. else i'd use the 35mm anytime.. haha~ the ghosting of the lens is bad.. but with the filter on, it's horrendous.. if taking pictures with direct light source.. i SERIOUSLY recommend removing the filter.. it helps ALOT.. before i removed the filter.. any light source will definitely have ghost effects.. but if w/o filter it's much better~

the need for high fps has always been there, else bodies wont be constantly increasing in fps, so those specs just go against what has been happening.
and then D800 with only 4fps? talk about turning away a fair share of the market if they really do that.

D1 5fps.
D2h 8fps.
D2xs 5fps.
D3 9fps, 11fps with grip.
D700 8fps with grip.
D300 8fps with grip.
D7000 6fps.

so you suggest me go LYN garage sales go take a look first before go the shop get a bag?

Then I would suggest you to buy Hoya Pro1D Digital Protector. Cheap cheap jek
