it's not that difficult actually. Zeiss lenses have very good focusing ring. the 'damping' is good.
plus, it's f1.8 at 135mm leh. imagine that. close your eyes and imagine the bokeh and you will pee in your pants edi hahaa

pee in pants when think of bokeh!

I played before on orange DSLR
FF with that 135/1.8
Bokeh really

ahh i can imagine the bokeh edi, i tried the ziess 85 1.4 when i was buying my 85 1.4g that day. i tried both and i really really like the color and bokeh from the zeiss. and it was cheaper then the nikon also, but i takut la use manual focus on the job. margin of error using manual lens in a wedding situation... is not something id want to do maybe if i have a studio later can think of ziess hehe

whoa awesome photos bro. i can never take good landscape/nature pic

The 85 1.4 ZF.2 has min focussing distance of 1m compare to 35mmf2.0 of 0.3mtr. Get those 2 will be enough to play...its almost full metal jacket lens including its hood except the front n rear caps are made of plastic.

again, i need autofocus hehe. which is why i got the 35 & 85 from nikon. only now i need to fine tune my AF, i feel that my 85 when focusing at infinity always lari one. wont focus on where i point it but when near its ok.

actually how to use af fine tune ?
I no idea how to fine tune my 50/1.4

u need a chart to help u accurately measure how far off focus ur lens is. actually i read can use white cloth + coin but not as accurate la. ask the sifu's here, they sure know one

u can borrow a lenscal from celciuz

Thanks sometimes really depends on luck leh.. the sky was gorgeous that day... hehe and also some PP helps

Hahaha.. understood...

AF not accurate wan. Want it for what? Hahahaa

how to af fine tune ?

Finetuning? dunno leh.. D90 tarak.. I have some issues with mine when paired with the 50mm f1.4G.. the work around to it for my case I have to manually back focus it before I do auto focus then it nails the target.. of not... sometime will front focus.. dunno y...

with my poor eye sight...i also not sure my lens need to fine tune or not...

testing 35mm 1.8g with d600


now i really need to admit that picture upload to flickr really being sharpen a lot...

Maybe I used to pixel peep too much. I shouldn't i guess

Help cover a traditional dance event for my friend earlier today



Dang im clueless on how or what to focus on during traditional dance

sometime it become a photographer's 2nd nature to pixel peep

so this was also shot in jpg


In the same pic mode... only exposure diff and bunga diff.. oh and cropped in camera hahaha never tried that before as before no postprocess, only resize and tag .. i guess nikon really likes REDDDDDD
