Any1 with latest news of how much retail D800 in Malaysia?

hmm. both are superb lenses i must say. A really tough decision to make. if i were to take pictures of candid group of students, what do you think? I'm getting a prime lens because i'm the official photographer for my high school year book. so yeah. my idea is good bokeh with around 12-28 students framed. i'm thinking about the 35mm though. SIGH!

Hahaha yea!
I think for your group shots, your lens line up will do great! Now you need a flash to light them up

What kind or environment are you shooting the group?? Outside would be a great tho

Guys, I only found 85mm 1.4D available in my workplace only currently. No stock for 85mm 1.8G and the price for D800/D800E is not available.

All I know is my boss already carrying D800 and I'm so tempted to try but don't dare

He's the Nikon agent who organize all Nikon event and in charge for those booth design for Nikon retail shop and service centre. =)

You're back! hahaha how was it? bloody awesome weather right? x)

yellow rubber ring = wristband

same lah 

obviously that is the new SRP, current SRP btw is RM8500.
so if malaysia SRP is around there, looks like brand new D700 street price will be below RM5.8k or maybe more now...hopefully around RM5.5k
then see everyone rush to sell theirs off now before losing more...

AFAIK the ring quite lossy unlike 18-105VR those..
I tried friend 17-55 and 24-70 same thing also. nikon version btw

Not that lossy until one finger can turn i assume.
Yeah at least I cant turn it using one finger haha

Yeah, I saw your post and the discussion. However, it was about focus ring and not zoom ring. I'm asking about zoom ring.

Hmm... I'm yet to experience any problem with my 17-55 yet *touch wood*. Just wondering if the zoom ring tight is an issue...
It's the 85mm f/1.8G

First impression when I held the D800E, it's "fatter" than the D7000. I didn't hold D700 or D300/D300s that much yet, therefore it gives me that fat feeling. Didn't get chance to save the image or put into computer for review of course, but when max zoom the photo using the camera can see superb details. Taken half-portrait of a model but yet able to see the red lines of her eyes clearly. Marvellous...

Somehow they updated the UI icons also.

That's why I mention I have used to D7000's grip and less experience with D700 and D300/D300s which is bigger. However, after my experience with D7000 + BG, more likely for my next body I'll scrap the idea of having BG. It is not that I dislike the weight, in fact I'm kinda big size and like to hold heavy stuff. But the tendency of doing portrait is somehow higher when you have a BG and I have actually been advised by a senior wedding photographer to remove the BG. Unless you're shooting portraiture, best to take the BG off the camera.

Stock for D800 should be available by the end of March 2012
I bet you'll like the D800/D800E LCD after seeing how much you complained about yours

Initially, I have the same thought of balancing the body for bigger lens such as 70-200. However, later I found that it's just the matter of how I hold the camera. Now I seem to understand why many wedding photographers that I know didn't use BG for the body.
Huh? Why is that so? Share with us la...

ive noticed my old nikon lens has got a small little tiny fungus at the very corner of the inside glass lens. it doesn't affect the picture because it's at the very corner of the inside lens and away from the sensor view. i plan to get it cleaned (before it start to spread) and serviced same time at nikon service center. how much this cost roughly? it's a 18-105 zoom lens. if ya know how much the range is let me know! thanks

well its past their office hours now so call also no use. will ring tmr

Holy that's amazing, I have a similar photo sky blown but lol yours really geng..
