but he did say it was a great lens for the price. didnt he?

so, would you buy it?
even mansurov says only his 3rd 28mm 1.8G sample was good, you'll find some other reviews also with issues on it...but none of them dying yet...perhaps they didnt have long with their sample.

i wouldnt. if i was on a budget id prefer the 35 f2 or 24 f2.8. heck even the 20 2.8
to me, the 28 just seems like too good to be true smile.gif but iv had yet to hold it, will be borrowing a friends one soon though, just to try myself hehe
would u buy it?
*
i was thinking of it, else i wouldnt be checking up on the reviews.

out of those 3, only 24 f/2.8 interests me...kinda cheap if look around...can find for around RM700.

dunno recommended or not but for the price i paid (single pancake lens lightly below RM1350) i'm not sure what i want more from this camera yet, but maybe different story if i paid the price when it first launched. suits a casual shooter very well and with room to upgrade when specific lens is desire, i'd say it's a compact camera with good quality output but you can change the lens. biggrin.gif

to me i find that it's dead easy to use, i left virtually everything auto in A mode, ISO100-3200 auto and adjust aperture to taste. since the ISO3200 has enough quality for web or digital viewing so i don't really see the need to manually set the ISO unless you're critical about the image quality and want to make large print (but then you would be looking at different camera already).
true but at the same time small sensor also screaming "where is my bokeh??!?" lol, waiting for Nikon to release fast prime lens but seems like the latest rumors only indicating f1.8 instead of the much more anticipated f1.4. hmm.gif
*
no need bokeh la.
even with f/1.4 on the 1-series, the comparable bokeh on FX is almost f/4, use it more for low light capabilities tongue.gif

who is using sigma 50mm f/1.4 ?
Issue ? AF is common and how you deal with it ? Send back together with camera for calibration ?
*
its the lens firmware.
so even if the lens is calibrated for the body, once in awhile focus will still run...tho most of the time its good.
the ppl i know using sigma are using it more for video tongue.gif

My 50mm f/1.8G no issue, initially thought problematic because it wasn't "BETTER" than the older f/1.8D... well not as much as I expected to when I kept hearing the hype about the f/1.8G pawning the f/1.8D.

maybe once u get ur D800, when it needs to start resolving the higher MP, then it'll start pwning tongue.gif

was brain storming on nikon club yesterday and realise that the KL members are not really active when it comes to outing and walk around and stuffs.

any nikon club members here? have you been to any outings before? if not why? what do you hope to see in the future?
*
i thought the last KL one had 300 ppl or so going?
i didnt go cos they started it at the ungodly hour of 8am tongue.gif

plus it was like 95% jantan shooting at some model wannabes...damn boring.

maybe u or azrul can bring out ur medium formats / TS lenses and show ppl how to shoot architecture stuff around KL...
