Is Tamron AF70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di a good lens? Thinking of getting one........

pay little bit more n get nikon 70-300mm

What's the difference between both? Still new to photography.......

if want rasa more then just go to the shop and try both on the spot. then u decide better hehe

But in Miri here can't really find Nikkor lenses........... For lenses, the easiest to find is Tamron......... Just want to know is it good cause the price is very reasonable....... Around RM800 only.....

oh...the one with macro function rite?
then is the difference lens already. the nikon one around that price should be 55-300mm (dx lens).

ya........ it even got macro............. haha

1. why compare it to 5D2? that's a problem that shouldn't be there on a camera 4 years after 5D2.

2. ISO button on top is a lot of convenient for my work where camera is on tripod. still not as good as Canon's button placement. Come to think of it ISO button on left hand side no matter how also not nice la.

3. you haven't tried?

4. like what I say, having 1/8000 is a plus point. in my photography, shutter rarely goes above 1/250 to begin with.

I've not been using half-press AF (on shutter button) ever since I discovered I can disable half-press AF on shutter button and have the AF option else where (eg on AF-ON).

This is very crucial for me for both shooting events and / or products / studio. my shutter button is strictly for shutter.

When continuous focusing is enabled, you can press the AF-ON to keep tracking the subject while index finger just click shutter for capture. If your focusing is still on shutter button, every time you press shutter the focusing is stopped, and you have to resume.

Even for still subjects, my camera will always have a lens that support FTM. I don't have to set the switch on the lens to M, it just remains as A because when it works with AF-On.

So when I shoot still subjects (eg products or interior), I can use AF-On to shortcut the focus to where I want, and them manually tune the focus, and when I press the shutter button the lens doesn't change the focus. It's essentially an MF setup with AF override using AF-On when I need to.

To say AF-On no point? Well that's because you haven't found it useful in what you're shooting.

Dimana print ni bro?

well shit haha. it never even occured to me to use it this way. thank you for providing your own way of using it.
now i can go try that button to see if it can help me or not.

Close up. Not true macro.

Go get D800 then
or 7DMK2 lo. coming out soon

At least got macro...............

The quality sucks seriously. Soft soft soft.
Nikon way better.

u should go to KLPF next week.
eng tong company will be having a talk on color management, if u got a laptop that u work on, can also bring it there for free calibration.
the fri talk is around 2pm, other days dunno if got or not.

been teaching quite a few people this way of doing.

i remember last time some 5 years back, run way model that time. know how to set AI Servo (continuous focusing mode for Canon, Nikon is AF-C or donno what right? i donno the term).

as you know model walk towards and away from you if you are shooting from the front.

so if the half-press is used for focusing. you focus already, nice nice snap. aiyah now the model is 2 meters nearer to you and you have to focus all over again. if you set it to AF-On for the focusing, you just have to leave your thumb there and it keeps focusing on and on and on and on. Just have to point finger accordingly and ndex finger just click .... click click click .... click click .... click ... click click click.

same goes to cases like say shooting birds in flight. thumb on AF-On for focusing / tracking. index finger for frame capture.

Print at serdang bro. Design the layout myself just ask the print shop to print the book only

Ugh oh sounds interesting. Lets see if i can go to KLPF this year or not since i just arrive ipoh only :/

Ahhh thanks for the info. Now i know what's that AF-on button is for lol not that D90 has one anyways

If you need I have a few
But im from KL/PJ
Have to dig them out cause I dont know where I left them Hahaha!

Bro, ori? Plan to sell to me??? Really need it and willing cod tonight

I have friends who really preach about the af button hehe thats why I tried for 3 months using tat only. I still like my dual duty shutter button its matter of preference... It does not increase or decrease usable shots for me.. for the 1st month a lot of missed shots then it got better after 2 more months. As for continuous focusing, Im always keeping my shutter button half pressed, once capture it will still track after full press back to half press. Its a matter of preference. Id imagine its more useful if it was available on the d600 where the af points are all clustered in middle of the frame.


hehehe not based in KL when is KLPF

I'm looking for a manual F mount lens for my FM3a...Anyone here knows who sells them? I prefer 50mm...>.<
