basically, the warranty card must be from nikon malaysia AND have dealer chop on it.
if the dealer doesnt want to chop the card, then look elsewhere.

but i know of a certain seller here also who seems to pirates shop's chops...and no action has been taken yet.

so yea, safest is to buy from actual shops that u know are proper dealers.

Yannick pretty reputable in this. You may call him as I just asked him this morning that the price will be estimated around RM9.5K.

He got his own registered company and providing you receipt with his company logo and registration no altogether with the stamp on the warranty card. Agito bought 24-70 f/2.8 and celciuz bought D700 from him without a fuss.

Ah~haha... guess I need to drain my own wallet this time around

hopefully price will settle by next month and all the reviews will be out
dowan to buy first batch in case got some faulty thing in it (like fuji X10's sensor), at least after some reviews you can make judgement

x10 sensor is not faulty, it just doesnt handle bloom as well as ppl with sticks up their ass think it should.
1st batch, 2nd batch, whatever batch until last month batch the sensor is still the same.

for nikon, seriously doubt will have any issues with sensors...perhaps 1st batch or so maybe like D7000 that time where they over-oiled the shutter mechanism.

is it??? . . . but i thought Fuji alr said they will change the sensor with a modified one for free

normally i use 200iso on my d90 but never use l0.3, l0.7 and l1.0 before. what's the iso number for those 3 special numbers?

i know.
but the fact remains is the sensor is not faulty.
other cameras also will bloom, just x10 doesnt handle it as well.
normal everyday pics its perfectly fine.

Thanks for the info... will ring him up to chk on the price & availbility. Oledi sold all my DX gears recently ... Now aiming for a FF body!

35mm f/1.4G too

do you have 24 1.4g???
can't decide between this two. . .

Get the 24!

yeah. . at the moment leaning towards the 24. . .coz with D800 can crop crop crop HAHAHA

+1 more for 24mm 1.4g

I tested both 24mm and 35mm, I preferred the 35mm's focal length. Self preference and note also that the 35mm is better than the 24mm in terms of image sharpness especially on the MTF.

better, but would u be able to tell the difference in sharpness without a chart? unlike say a cheap 50mm 1.8d where its obviously already wide open its not sharp.
i see 24 1.4G shots already and its plenty sharp.

Yau mo. . . .

i thought 24 sharper from front to back left to right aunty to uncle???

Initially when I first tested 24mm and 35mm at Nikon BTS, I felt the 35mm sharper. At that point of time, I've never seen any MTF yet or done serious comparison cause no plans to purchase yet (it was back in March 2011 as I was picking up my 70200 from BTS due to faulty AF.

I don't use 50mm much, only own a 50mm f/1.8D which is why I got the 35mm.

btw, just wondering on ur 70-200 faulty AF.
how do u store ur lens?
lying flat, or standing up?
would standing it up and not using it for awhile have something to do with it going faulty? cos of gravity and all the weight of the glass pushing down on whatever is inside?

that's mean more than 6400 ISO around 10k ISO, that is for my D5100, not sure about yours

u can assume L1.0 is 1 step, so ISO100.
so the other 2, probably say somewhere around ISO130 and ISO160.
