sifoos ... can someone guide me on flash settings i mean ppl always use f-stop numbers to mention about light power. For example :
Does it mean f/5.6 light versus f/8 light, the f/8 is higher power?

I have Nissin Di622MII (TTL) and YN-560 (non-TTL). how to set up both of them for proper lighting?
*i have Sekonic light meter too. I measured with it and the f/8 gives more power. Correct right?

So how do you normally setup for the lightings? which one shud be higher power or lower power (foreground, background, fill light, etc)
thanks.

BTW, I use Eneloop Harmolattice 2500mAh too. it's awesome. I think it charges my flash faster between exposures. I'm happy. It lasts long too

For the price, i can say it is the cheapest & sharpest DX lens . However, compared to the 50mm 1.8G, the 50mm is a tad bit sharper and gives better bokeh-ness.
35mm 1.8G samples here :

Yeah. I feel 35mm is just nice for dx if u want to use indoors (even outdoors). Some may feel a bit tight when using 50mm indoors, that's up to the user's preference or situation. Try it out urself on ur kitlens if u hv. Dial to 35mm and 50mm, see whichever is nicer for ur preference.

35mm on dx=52.5mm
50mm on dx=75mm

nikkor 18-200 problem? i tot for 18-200 range, nikkor lens is the best u can get. if u r talking about lens creep, they should hv fixed it in VRII. i would still suggest nikkor 18-200, bcoz my frens using it are very happy. i'm pretty happy with the mechanics/optics too. *slight distortion at the wide angle but that's fine for me

anybody from penang have monitor calibration tools like color munki or spyder?
hehe ...

I wanna send my 16-85 lens for repair. The lens zoom barrel is a bit sticky. So I should drop by BTS? Are they open tomorrow on Christmas?

tell us ur budget, and we'll recommend what's best for u (nikon/canon)
D3100 is fine ..but if u have the budget, D5100 is even better. U'll appreciate the excellent sensor inside!
