Added on November 26, 2011, 9:30 pmthe bokeh given by the 24mm at f1.4 is very unique.
wide view but good isolation.
It gives you the ability to tell the viewer the ambient atmosphere yet isolate them to a certain degree.
35mm is too tight for that kinda job.




if not wrong nikon 24f1.4 is the sharpest 24mm in the market.

Wide angles are Nikon's strong point, not surprising if its the best 24mm around. But it somehow the 24mm still isn't as sharp as the 35mm... well I could go for 35mm instead of 24mm anytime ;-). Not to mention cheaper!

get what you like ! dont affect by others

yes for wide angle zoom, no for wide angle primes.
canon wide angle primes have been superior for a long time.
nikon is catching up now.

I wonder how true this statement was, Nikon had many great wide angle primes lens even before the 24mm. eg. the 13mm f/5.6, one of the best out there.

I think he is referring to digital lens...

the legendary 13mm 5.6 is legend in film era.
and the impractical size.. hahaha

Some of the Nikkor old lenses is really good. Like the 200mm Prime f/4

sry, i'm talking about modern lens with AF.
example?
canon 14mm f2.8L II
canon 24mm f2.8L T-SE II

without the new 24f1.4 and 35f1.4, nikon would be way behind canon in this category.

Yeah, suppose to be so. In addition, Canon has announced their next flagship model which interested even their own users who's having problem with 5D Mark II limitation (shared by a master photog based on his experience)

I just played with Cintiq 24HD, RM12,000.00

But its still a legendary lens

Well, if you intend to twist it that way then I agree with your statement.

Now the question is, any field test of the 1DX yet? Previously when 1Dmk4 was announced it got my friend excited, when available to market he instantly bought it. But his comment was the AF wasn't as good as his 7D lol. Now I'm wondering how the 1DX performs, the spec looks very impressive on paper definitely.

what d current price D700...
i see it's higher den last time...?

I was told its about RM6300, previously was RM6000. But another factor for it to raise is because of SB900 price drop.

Back then package given by Nikon Msia to retailers was,

D700 + SB900 --> RM6000 + RM1500 (for example..), and now due to price drop from SB900,

D700 + SB900 --> RM6300 + RM1300 or something.

icic...
so mean current re-sale value of D700 is increase...
haha...
good for us who own D700...
but too bad for my fren who plan to upgrade to D700...

True... when D800 comes out maybe when I sell the D700 I loose much lesser

Whoa, how much you got it? Am thinking of getting one since I need it in concert. =O

I'm curious of the SB900 price now too, was told its RM1400. I thought its even cheaper now ._.

Some quoted me for RM1350. Not sure any lower price around.

I was thinking its about RM1300 now haha! Not too sure though, but seems like SB-910 is coming out, let's see what that offers.

The spirit of Nikon Film lives on
