when ur shooting up close, even at f/8 will still able to tell if OOF or not . I like it close and personal xD

the subject is OOF...



the DoF is thinner when close


The aboves was shot with the Nikkor 10.5mm on D80

Anyways I rather have AF I'd save up.

I didnt say the calculator is lying. your initial post said no need to focus jst put to 5.6/f and everything will be fine and dandy. Im just saying, to have a mechanism for focus is better (clearly not shown in my examples, because I chose them for a reason, even with AF still can get OOF shots, and its CLEARLY VISABLE) rather than to do Manual focusing chill bro. Im not as technically proficient with calculations and mfd and scales. I flunk maths.

and clearly one needs patience and a good eye to do MF. Which is why I didnt want to try macro photography because I dont have patience and I cant squad down for too long. hehe tummy too big. Im not saying MF is bad or wrong. when playing with the tamron SP90, i MF a lot, didnt like it, but thats the lens I borrowed, thats how I use it. That said, the SP90 hunts a lot.

color correction gels are good to have and gives nice results if used properly. last time i started w/ SB800 then 900 gels. then got a few set from Nikonian academy, i think about 30+ per set w/ 2 sizes. then recently jst bought from ebay, lee filters 9 gels set (US$5.00+3.70 [shipping]).. i got 3 sets to get cheaper shipping. 2 set is color correction and 1 set for creative lighting which includes ND gels xD always wanted to try ND flash gels hopefully is useful.

anyone tried this ? http://www.reikan.co.uk/focal/

Something I cannot afford to own =.=

if its your 1st flash, get a SB700. You will appreciate the consistency and flash cycle speed from Nikon Speedlites. Increase your budget, buy in two - three months time.
