that picture with the 200-400 was supposedly the 5d X.. just saw it on canonrumors

no need coz there is no place to register it... LOL

anyone installed those katzeye focus screen thingy? or you all so far no encounter problems with manual lens?

wow a range finder in a dslr so cool!

samyang 85/1.4 is full manual lens.. nikkor af-s wun fail me de.. but i cannot afford.. keke~

edit: read wrong.. i using D5100 and pair with the samyang, it's a full manual focus.. no AF..

You guys made it so easy to distinguish between the real and fake ones... how's the fake's performance? Is it obvious? Like those single coat filters?

I read somewhere that some B+W filters were made from alloy for the asian market, not sure if it's true or not coz the brass ones were relatively more expensive and that's the reason B+W came up with the alloy rings instead of the brass ones.  IIRC it was dpreview.com

Note about the alloy rings is that over time, the alloy thread 'melts' into the lens thread making it extremely difficult to remove, and only way is to practically destroy the filter to get it removed.

I think it refers to the F-Pro and XS-Pro. Please correct me if im wrong, coz both are still genuine. Only the ring materials are different, and thickness, the glass is just the same.

nah, not really. there's also few photog which didnt bother what filter they use, chepo or expensive, even didnt use at all. Same goes to Drybox, buy chepo one, or DIY one, or even only use silica gel.

But then ask yourself, spends thousand on the lens, y not spend some for the best filter as well as the best drybox.

BTW it depends on the individuals itself, there no right or wrong.

Just bought second hand d3000 with sc 2k++ and new lens 18-105mm XD newbie here. Did i need to buy a dry box? As see i saw a lot of ppl kena fungus in they lens/camera? Did i need 1? Got 1 shop got sell 10 litter Rm90 with humility meter and using selica gel to keep it dry...it's usefull??
18-105mm enough for normal days using right??

Zoom i think is enough for me now.. Only macro is little bit...XD Ok i know what i want..XD Well..i live in condor 14th floor so i think dry box maybe need asap...>< Body Rm700 lens Rm900 is worth? Body second lens new.

was thinking of using the 1224 for group shots, and put the 85mm on for portrait. i think the UWA perspective would be good in the poolside view. Purpose is to get as much pictures, portraitwaise of bride n groom during the evening dusk lighting, thing is i prob be the only 'photog' there and reception is for SIL, so pressure is on me....haha.....hop i don't just go snapping food pics instead of people.....

thing is i luv the 85mm bokeh.......decisions,decisions

later have to show us lah. how u get the skin tone that good but the mood is that dull~ so awesome..
give a bit of hints saja la.. hehe
wide angle is boring,
just get the super tele, super tele is fun 

But most clients love bokeh, I find those who aren't into photography goes for bokeh instead of wide angle type of images...
Super tele like ninja miles away o_O?
I will still go for 85mm f/1.8, bigger aperture, does not extend like the tamron. But it can't macro.

Hi just wanted to clarify, my 35mm 1.8 makes focussing noises which is not really rattling but ,ore like vrrr-ing. This lens has no VR so is this normal? Or it's messed up?

Anyone recommend me a budget zoom lens for Nikon D5100?

Just now tried to capture the picture of performer dancing at the stage,I sit second row but not manage to zoom in with my nikon d5100 and kit lens. Around 1k budget

the 70-300 VR is an FX lens... means wif 1.5 crop factor will become 105-450mm on DX camera..

new one i think 2k
