ya, i find 35mm cacat on DX.
while everyone says the view is like 50mm, technically its not...only the field of view is...not the experience if u can call it that.
cos thru the viewfinder what u see thru it isnt the same size as u see with naked eye...afterall u are looking thru a 35mm lens and not 50mm.
but if u want to take group shots...i would wait and see how much the new 28mm 1.8G is going to be and get that instead.


Added on March 31, 2012, 3:10 pmactually, no use waiting la.
the 28mm 1.8G is FX, so wont be cheap.

for wider prime, maybe look for a used 24mm f/2.8, below RM1k.

oh its FX ar? Nice.. Haha I was thinking if I should go for the 24 1.4 but now theres a cheaper version lets wait and see!!

I did not go IMPACT on Saturday. Was around shopping and sight seeing LOL. Will be going in for round 2 today =D when you go up close with 35mm the image feels differently compared to 85 taken from further away although similar magnification. I like 35mm but need go really close...

Hmmm its quite funny that Nikon added the 28-300mm as the d800 kit lens while at Lensrental.com suggest you not to use it with D800

Here's the link! D800 Lens selection process

Woahh nice pictures from the Motorshow!! Are there any up coming similar events? I also interested to shoot Thai girls! Haha

you need to wait how long shocking.gif
i dont think i have the distortion control on, but i have noise reduction on and other reduction or improvement

dynamic range set to highest, color space is neutral and other settings forget

those feature affect the writing time as well? hmm.gif

Yea NR on for Long exposure is the answer biggrin.gif Basically what the camera does, it takes 2 exposure. So the camera can identify which are hot pixels in the 1st exposure later on the camera will subtract the dark frame from the shot. Something like that smile.gif

only affect long exposure if i off NR? it wont affect bust mode?

how about the dynamic range or dynamic lightning thingy at the menu? will it affect too?

The dynamic range, affect the exposure time?

Basically lets say for a correct exposure it takes 20 secs so ur 1st exposure will be at 20 secs. Later on the camera will take another exposure for another 20secs same as the 1st. thats why it takes that long..

Adl stands for active d lighting, I don't think you know what it does so set it to auto.. Read up your manual or google wink.gif I'm replying by phone haha very sian in kampung TT

About NR I don't know if it applies to raw because isn't raw untouched? Sorry I don't really know.. But does it matter you burst till 10 frames should be quite alot! You shoot sports?

9400 not KL. KL so far cheapest get quoted 9500, not feel like further nego, because just like everyone no stock.

1 shop which i knew got stock in KL. Get quoted from this L shop, 9700 at night when i call them, ask for cash term, then recall next day, another guy i guess, he insisted RM9900 non negotiable. Inform him last night get quote cheaper, he said, something as if like "not my problem".

I mean, this kind of shop. I will never step in or recomend anyone buying stuff there.

Which shop share share

My shop is also 9700! No choice lo just get

yesterday was doing a yumcha session with my friends and somehow the topic of photography came up and one of my friend a canon user was saying that he "read an article or comments in dpreview that because d800's high MP, the current line up of nikkor lens cannot handle the resolution (meaning cannot maximize) and most images would become SOFT. thats why, Canon is not chasing MP's but changing its line up of lenses."

to me im normally pretty cool with who ever uses what la, not a real technical person either. for me its about the images at the end of the day not the technicalities of the gears. But when one hears smug comments like that, its kind of annoying. As if we are in the wrong camp and Nikon's made a booboo. I have heard this same sentiment from numerous d700 / d3 s/x owners. That D800's mp too high and current lens line up might not be able to maximize it. Maybe they are all reading from the same blog... hmm..

My unfounded theory is that it will look soft because its BIG. If you scale it down to maybe 12 mp it will look sharper than say actual 12mp sensor results. Anyone care to enlighten me..

mornings buddy! biggrin.gif

Maybe you can take this website as a reference, but always take everything with a pinch and salt biggrin.gif

They have the widest range of lenses! Too bad they do not test the lens both wide open and 2-3 stops above...
