Been ages since the last time I used my 70200 and also with a MB-D10... shit this combo feels damn heavy. Too used to D700 + 85, D700 + 16-35 already >_<

I think you can call Jason from j one and enquire, last time I called him before Cny because I wanted 2nd body but he said should have stock after Cny, go give it a try! Good luck!

Since you shoot portrait always. 70-200 can sit at cabin lah

Hey guys!

Today I was at Datin Shalini's Fine art gallery, currently they are exhibiting Taiwanese rock star photography by wu bai, Leica. The theme is more earth, there are other Malaysian artist and Sri lankans as well, do drop by if you are in pj, they're really friendly! Thumbs up!

Hi guys! I'm currently having dilemma on which lens should I buy. The Nikkor 35mm 1.8G or the Nikkor 50mm 1.8G? I'm more to portraiture photography but I also do some street photography. Any of you gurus out there mind to help?

I'm using D90 & D7000.

Since you're using both d90 and d7000 I believe you have the kit lens 18-105, why don't you try to view it through your view finder both 35 and 50mm see which suits you

Since you do street I think the 35 would suit you best, but if mainly potraits I believe the 50mm is better due to longer focal length!

Do take in to acc that 35 is a dx lens n 50 is an fx, so if you do change to a full frame camera most likely you will sell the 35mm!

hmmm. yes i do have the 18-105 and also the 18-200. but i dont see those performing good in low light conditions. and the bokeh isn't that impressive. so yeah. do these 1.8g lenses capture fast and bright image? and also, is the bokeh good? what is the maximum focusing range?

Bokeh is always due to personal Preference you can always see images in the web! Try googling pixel peeper and from there choose the lens type and the images will appear

The prime lens will be much better due to bigger aperture , maximum distance is infinity

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!

When you're shooting such a big group... you want bokeh? You probably need something like a 200mm f/2 and standing far enough to put everyone in the frame . You might be able to get everyone in focus and bokeh perhaps.

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

35mm won't give any bokeh... and for lighting up a group from far away... you definitely need a radio trigger.. and lots of flash lights? LOL.

yeah. i'm shooting around daytime and outdoor. so yeah. but i cant be buying this lens just for that school magazine. Like in the future i might need it for night photography. will the 35mm do it's job good in low light conditions? and i would like to know what's the minimum focal range?

Sorry that i'm asking so many questions. you guys are the best.

i think the thing you are asking is the minimum focus distance for the 35mm 1.8g.. that would be 30cm.. whether that lens would be useful for you or not.. depends on what you're shooting.. i personally like the 35mm lens alot..

yeah. thanks for the info. i guess that it's good in close-up pictures too though. kay guys. i've made up my mind to go with the 35mm. thank you all!

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

It could be possible anyway, 3 more Nikon DSLRs is on the way.
