I got no experience with 35f1.4 before, so no comment haha.you should ask celsiuz, he just bought a 35f1.4. you can go to my flickr or Facebook : Teo Soonhaur for more samples  and also my portfolio site http://maplewindphotography.wordpress.com/ |

QUOTE(celciuz @ Jan 29 2012, 01:16 AM) Yeah... I saw the other time Cathay has good deals for the TT1 and TT5. How much for your configuration? 2x TT5 and 1 TT1 + AC3? TT1 sgd295My setup is similar to yours, except I'm using 3x TT5 instead... TT1 batt very hard to hunt here.  G Wiz PocketWizard Trunk by CY Pixels, on Flickr TT5 25% discount : sgd240 x 2 AC3 sgd80 total : sgd855 very nice price. wanted to get radio popper but too bad they don't ship to SG, and the price is quite high |

if you are a full time professional by all means go ahead with VR2.
Otherwise you need to think thrice to before throwing in the money. This post has been edited by sukhoi37: Jan 29 2012, 07:52 PM |

QUOTE(makaroni @ Jan 29 2012, 08:00 PM) im not a fulltime pro, just part time wedding photographer thats why im still thinking its worth or not to burn all my money for vr2.. I've tried 70200f2.8VR during wedding, f2.8 is too slow for low light.I prefer fast prime e.g 85f1.8 or f1.4. just my two cents |

QUOTE(Agito666 @ Jan 29 2012, 09:23 PM) what body you use hehe XD I'm using D700.iso?  just wan update my self for newer body in general term hahha  ISO depends on the lighting, but i find that most of the wedding ballroom lighting is very challenging. You need at least ISO3200-6400 to stop the action at f2.8 at tele range. |

QUOTE(0168257061 @ Jan 30 2012, 12:48 AM) do you use 3d tracking all the time ? 3d tracking is very good if your background is uniform with single color, it will auto track the moving object within the 51 af points.i've tried the 3d tracking in d700, what I says its so-so, not that nice, but the upcoming in D4 one is awesome, and its smarter than the current generation one  |

QUOTE(Isepunye @ Feb 2 2012, 06:08 PM) 99.9% edited! hahaha Not entirely correct.what u can do, calibrate ur monitor. after calibration, what u seen, is what u print! and also no need to bother with ur lcd worst than monitor or else coz the color u seen in monitor is what u gonna get when printed! You also have to input the color profile of your lcd to the printer to match the color. |

QUOTE(0168257061 @ Feb 2 2012, 11:35 PM) and lauya printer usually don't support complicated profiles, haha, normally i print at photo lab. and the color gamut that produced by lauya printer is not pleasing  It's more expensive to print at home, unless you are using those CISS(the color is crap). |

D3x to D800 is USD8000 to USD2999
D300s to D7000 is USD1700 to USD1300 Dpreview update : http://www.dpreview.com/previews/nikonD800/ Added on February 7, 2012, 10:57 pmI hate the ISO button on D700, it's too far for quick adjustment. Sadly it's still there on D800.  This post has been edited by sukhoi37: Feb 7 2012, 10:58 PM |
