I played with 50/1.2 ais last week.
The manual focus not that hard but my eyes, due to very bad eye sights and wearing spec, I give a pass !

i finally order my 1st MF lens few days ago.. gonna give it a try... but on a cheap russian glass. . .

Woo hoo! Hope you love it!

MF is gooding.. (:

if im going to get a manual lens, i want the zeiss 50 macro

so Nikon 14-24 is typically around RM 6k?

more or less lah.

So if I go Nikon camp, it's either I spend RM 12k or RM 16k. hrmmm....... tough choice.

eh you change religion, eh?

probally want higher MP body so can last longer ??

change? no ah, i not stuck to any brand wan la.

priority goes to results. only Nikon has 14-24 and only Nikon as 36mp, or even if 24mp it is still more MP than the 6D.

and to what I remember, also greater dynamic range.

btw you coming to Mr Wong's cakap cakap session or not?

reasons above

Good Afternoon

why am I considering Nikon?

well either Canon camp or Nikon camp, I'm going to spend. Canon stuff probably cut my cost by 1/4 or more.

however cutting my cost also means losing out on the above mentioned stuff.

the way I go about, is regarding delivery. not so much on the FX vs DX stuff. Whether I stick to DX of Canon or Nikon, there's nothing going as wide as the 14-24 on FX sensor. I want the wide and only Nikon has this option for me.

what mr. wong's cakap cakap?
at time square? when?

but nikon do not have the 17mm tilt shift worr

i read this twice then i understood haha

and if you dont mind me asking, who or what is Mr. Wong's cakap cakap? open to public ke?

Mr Wong is a common friend of ours, Wesley Wong. a highly knowledgeable person in technical aspects of photography, especially PRINT and he's a good photographer too!

every time he talk I sure got more things to ask wan, some things he tell me I go blur wan, cos I'm not so technical person.

Added on September 27, 2012, 5:02 pmdon't have 45mm and 90mm TS lens also. true.

but i place priority over the FOV, sensor size, megapixel and dynamic range.

Added on September 27, 2012, 5:04 pmanother reason to change camera system is to experience something you haven't experience.

i also considered going Pentax, recently added even more poison by Mr Wong so yeah. hrm. Possible Pentax.

Yeap especially with split focusing screen on slr

not on the dslr thats why might have a hard time with MF.... the slit screen is awesome on my SX70 tho

For those who is free on that day, please go to this talk. Wesley Wong will demostrate on how to get a good print out from your photograph. Unless you are one if those who only post up the images that you have shot on fb nia

Ooohhh interested to go hear the speech. I did print some pics for my portfolio few months back, would love to know more about it









Thinking of compiling another one
