price and spec different lo
but 50mm at d7000 is very narrow from my point of view la, it will be very good if u plan to go FF next time.
but overall overview the 50mm f1.8g is winner for the price u pay.

i notice this as well on the 35mm f1.8g and the 50mm f1.4d/f1.8d
the g one give warmer color compare to the d one

street price or the retail price from nikon?
can start to save money for this..hahaha

very simple one...in ur viewfinder u should see something like the picture (circle in red). this thing call exposure meter, if not show go read ur manual how to get it out.


how to read this thing...u will notice that there is an indicator go left n right.
going to left -> image under exposure (dim or dark)
going to right -> image over exposure (bright)
what u need to get is the indicator stay at 0

example, the indicator now at very left side (under exposure)
in P mode, u can increase the iso (u will notice the indicator moving to right side when u increase the iso. too high will create noise)

in S mode, u can slower the shutter speed. but for movement object, too slow will make ur photo become blur. ISO also can be increase if u want to have faster shutter speed.

in A mode, u can make the F value smaller (open the aperture bigger), also can increase the iso. this highly depend what u are shooting. in some case u need bigger F value to make sure everything in focus the the only variable u can play with is only left the iso.

leave M mode at this moment

if the image is over exposure, u just do the opposite setting.

Added on December 6, 2012, 11:12 pmcheck ur lens spec online, u will notice something about this
Closest Focusing Distance - 1.48 ft. (0.45m)

this mean that u need to have at least 45cm from the object, then ur lens can focus
different lens will have different distance.

I bought it from ebay. Usd 19.99 n 2.99 shipping.
I cant find it at Malaysia n also no source at sg, so no choice to buy from there lo.

Selling only the 17-50 is not enough to buy both prime woo...some more the 85 on d7000 is so narrow, u want to shoot head photo only?

I think they refer to 24-120 f4, try find that see got or not.
I am using the kit lens from d600 24-85mm, in term of low light conditions, it will hunt like mad. but it was good in normal condition, zoom range is good enough and it was light enough to carry around.
At this moment I looking at 35-70 f2.8d at ebay

AF fine tune cant work?

Even now in ff, I hang 35mm more on the camera compare to 50mm
Just base on ur preferences la.

The shape of the bokeh also depends on number of blade in the lens. As I know, d lens mostly will have hexagon kind n g lens is round kind.

Using fx now.
Own dx n both 35mm n 50mm lens also.

nice...i like the light ray from the sky

hi all,
any uv filter to recommend that help to reduce flare? 62mm size

really?
hahaha...i thought some filter like (Hoya Pro 1 Digital UV Filter) help to reduce lens flare n ghosting.
