Whoa... How are you going to sort them?

Wanted to go but was bsuy. Can't wait to see your shots.

BTW, becareful with the D800 though. 50GB for 1256 files only. I have another folder with around 624 files shot for the following day and it consumes another 22.6GB.


Attached thumbnail(s)

LOL 50GB worth of JPEG?

On the 300mm f/4, you have a limiter focus switch which prevents it from hunting. Did you use it? It gives the option of full range of focus or focus from 10 feet (3m) to infinity.

The newer one (AF-S) is the bottom one. Picture borrowed from Thom Hogan's website.



The top one is the older AF-D and very much slower focus.

Nice capture and timing.

Nice. I like it a lot. The 17-55mm f/2.8 is such a nice lens.

You gone missing for a while and come back with a D7000 + 85mm f/1.4 !

Is that Nikon's latest or from Sigma?

Nice use of the flash.

Now no need. In Live View mode got already.

+1 LOL

KK may be far from Kuching but isn't KL far away from Kuching too?

I dig the SLS AMG. Must have been the best sounding car out there.

Like this too.

Why not just take a random shot in smallest JPG from the camera and upload?

I believe the D600 is rumoured to have a built-in motor. The pics of the leaked D600 contain images of the D600 body together with the AF 50mm f/1.4D lens.

Shockwave or Soundwave?

BTW, Soundwave no GT wing.

SLS for the timeless classic look. Lambos are futuristic devil machines. I love both.

If you count the one kept by the Lamborghini museum (number 0/20), it's 21 then.

LOL

Anyway, there are no Reventons in Singapore. Only Reventon Roadsters which they have 4 out of the 15 made worldwide.

The MC-12 which is based on the Enzo is not so much sought after.

Wah, you invited to the launch in Sepang?

Did you have to crop for this one?

LOL Nice one.

Wah... If too tele then get a FX body.

Spontaneous. Nice of her to give a genuine smile afterwards. I assume she's a Jap RQ?

Looks like you cropped that particular one a lot. The others are fine.

Haiya... No info?

Wanna exchange or not? You give me G lens in exchange for D lenses.

This is what I have with aperture rings;

AF 18mm f/2.8D
AF 20-35mm f/2.8D
AF 35-70mm f/2.8D
AF 85mm f/1.4D
AF 135mm f/2.0D
AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8
AF-S 300mm f/4

Last four I still want to keep though.

Pinjam ah? I want to sell them actually. Funding for a 200mm f/2.0.

You can see lah... When you get your D800, you will be very pleased to know what kind of quality you get when you get when you crop.

Very hard to pick out just one because I like them all for different occasions. The last 4 lenses are my favourites among lenses with aperture rings. I have other favourites as well (G lenses) not listed. The first 3, I already have their G replacements that cover those focal ranges.

If I had to pick out just one, it would be the AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8 because I happen to use it a lot. Now I'm using the 85mm f/1.4 and the 135mm f/2.0 more often since the D800 now gives a faster and more accurate focus lock on all the cross and non-cross sensors with these older lenses if compared to the D700.

p/s: Forgot that I also have the AF 50mm f/1.8D with aperture ring. Not a favourite since the FOV is something I'm not comfortable.

Will get back to you on this.

Their "kit lens" is the 24-105mm f/4 L !

Yup, that's the first thing I noticed too besides the slight underexposure. At 27mm, the left and right girls' faces are slightly distorted.

Adorama does not ship to Malaysia, right?

Funny that the D800 has 0.1 EV dynamic range better than the D800E...

Buy the one that you feel comfortable. Have a look at here;

Up to now, there's actually no numbers that quantify the performance of the sensors. If somebody were to mention that the D800 sensor is way up there with medium format, nobody would want to believe.

Architectural photos require straight lines to be straight. So the best lens to do this would be the tilt and shift lenses.

Short of the tilt and shift lenses, the 14-24mm f/2.8 produce the least amount of distortions. There's still distortions though.

Perhaps it's this common problem with wide angles?

Very pleasing shot.

It shoots photos like a D4 although not at D4's 10 fps but 6fps. Shutter is instantaneous too.

DoF depends on focal length and what aperture you use. Therefore, there's an infinite number of combinations for a zoom lens like the 55-300mm.

Use a tool like below;

http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html

For example, for your 35mm lens at f/8, the hyperfocal distance is 25.2 feet. So if you focus 25.2 feet from where you are standing, objects from 12.6 feet to infinity will be in focus at f/8.

Nowadays got smartphone and easy to find out the DoF out in the field when shooting. I use the one for Android on my Galaxy Note.

Can roughly gauge what distance you are focusing. Just look at the focusing distance screen on the lens. Don't need to be exact.

If you're into street photography, get a wide angle like 24mm and set aperture f/8. Shoot any subject at distance roughly 2x your height assuming you're an average 5+ feet in height.

Note that 24mm lens on a DX body is not so wide. 35mm lens would be even harder for street on DX if you're into hyperfocal technique.

Agito666.

I use it too on my D300 before getting FX body.

Hey, is that a new 1.75x crop factor Nikon DX body you're using?

I think you meant 28-70mm = 42-105mm...

No need to change bad habit. Just change to 24-70mm f/2.8 lens !

I think the 28-70mm f/2.8 still commands a good 2nd hand price.

<ahem, ahem> With a 1.2x crop, he can get away with very slight vignetting when using DX lens on FX body at FX mode.

Yes it is. Best of both worlds.

Wah, your friend shot with a D800 during the Super GT? Any samples?

3x TC? New one from Nikon ah?

Who lah?

Agreed. Just like KLCC. Last time, outside KLCC also the guards do this. Is it still the same now?

But stopping and giving reasons of intellectual property is quite far fetch. I believe in Malaysia, only KLCC nighttime view has some kind of IP. Same like Eiffel Tower in Paris granted that there is such kind of rule stipulated officially on their website.

I think threatening a million ringgit libel suite against a small time photographer is just lame. Especially not when you shoot for private collection. I would suggest that if anyone happens to be in that situation, ask them to go ahead and engage their lawyers to send you a letter of demand. See if they care enough and have enough time to do it or not.

Yup, that's right. Because hanging a DSLR that says Nikon or Canon on the strap will automatically make you a pro. No?

There's a limit to how much you can amplify that defies the laws of physics. Even Nikon puts extra glass elements in their newest 2x TCEIII.

I'll put funny stuff in the background and see if they continue to shoot.

Anyway, I think there's a line drawn for residential houses where people live in and have their privacy's respected. What kind of privacy or rule is violated if you take photos at the Curve bridge as a backdrop?
