QUOTE(Johannlo @ Feb 18 2012, 05:45 PM) 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!
Added on February 18, 2012, 6:03 pmSee this website for better understanding of focal length http://www.picturecorrect.com/tips/focal-l...it-photography/Hope it helps! This post has been edited by Calvin Seak: Feb 18 2012, 06:03 PM |

QUOTE(Johannlo @ Feb 18 2012, 06:07 PM) 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 |

QUOTE(celciuz @ Feb 18 2012, 09:17 PM) 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 |

Haha anyone who drops by Kuching can disturb him Now I'm at the airport flying to Miri d  Kuching was so much fun, hopefully the same in Miri!

Added on March 1, 2012, 3:42 pmi duno, i found the pork chop covered with cheese looks not so nice...instead of that i found the potato looks nicer...but pork chop is main dish leh... For the sharpest point of most lenses is at 1-2 stops I think or was it 2-3? so for ur 24-70 is f2.8, for its sharpest is at f4 or f5.6 |
