Where can i get the Nikon Hb-31 lens hood for 17-55??? Find it everywhere but couldn't get it...even nikon.my also didn't have the item on it..

Eh. I have the hood lol. The lens was stolen one the day i forgot to attach the hood on to the lens

ifer, 50/1.4G seems to be top notch.
But certain situation, wide open, it seems soft even shutter speed over 1/200. No idea why tho

i remember u posted this here last time, and it still looks cun.
im in the process of compiling my portfolio jugak, going to as much weddings/portrait related shoots as i can. but letih la, work 9-6 then weekend work somore. damn tiring

1. the AF points being focused at the center of the frame.

2. ISO button being at the back of the body. D800 the ISO button on top left.

3. AF-On button missing on D600.

4. 1/4000 maximum shutter speed. not a huge problem but having 1/8000 available is a plus point.

for me the main issue is point #2 and #3.

Contrasty scene will look sharper and low contrast / flat light looks not so sharp. Might be that reason I guess

Maybe you are right. When I focus the person with background, quite bright, see photo below, the eyes like OOF. But I resize, then ok la. acceptable.



And see this. No sharpening. Looks sharp


Well, the quality might drop as link from FB

for 2, auto-iso whichever way also still must take ur left hand away from lens to adjust right...unlike canon which gets it right by having it on the right side top.
for 3, if u wish can reprogram the AE button to AF-ON.

1. haven't go used to auto-ISO. I still prefer to adjust my own. Yes, Canon definitely got it right. Just index finger press the ISO button on top and adjust the dial.

2. the AE button is quite further away that the AF-On position. For the Canon, can set the AF to * button which is even nearer to the right side.

btw have any of you tried the WU-1a for the D3200?

auto iso on the nikon is pretty efficient in manual mode of cos.

1. 5dMK2 not the same ? IIRC, 5dMK2 having the same problem.

2. I think this isn't a big problem at all. You still have to use your right hand to change it.

3.

4. Even 1/8000 on 5dMK2, my friend still uses a ND filter with it. 1.2 lens

Well, definitely d800 a better gainer, Nikon won't be that stupid to produce a better with low end price right ?

I dont get the AF button, I tried to use it for 3 months I dont find it improves my shooting or degrade it (on my d300). Half press af is so fast tat I seldom need to pre focus- reframe. Just another step to do. So I basically ignore the button now. I know there are ppl who lives by the af button and tell me thats the way to go.

hmm... on d600 .. maybe need it cos the focus points are all annoyingly in the center (middle) of the viewfinder.

I believe we all can adapt, of course if there is more budget everyone would like to go for the top tier bodies.

i agree to this, iv never been able to understand the AF-ON button either. i tried la but no point one so i stop using it

reasons why i like the d600:
1) iso performance better then d700 which i currently use
2) MP count lower, i dont want 80mb raw files

if i had 10k to spend on a new body, id wait abit more and get a d3s
