hmm okay

oh ya ! one more thing... not everything in B&H is cheaper rite? noticed that the 35mm f1.8G is rm600 ( after conversion ) while here is rm700-800+

then there de 85mm f1.8G is 496.95US ( rm 1577 ) while here selling around 1.3k... for brand new @_@ ayam confused

Nope, some lens retail cheaper in USA while some lens retail cheaper here in Malaysia.

definitely get the G. pretty much the same price as the D. i see the 2nd hand price also same haha

thx everbody now ayam kinda clear d ! will go for 1.8G..... maybe first hand ba... kinda hard to find 2nd hand... maybe cause just out 1 year.

spam pic again ~

nice shoot!!

where's the location?

erm... i'm gonna get a 35mm f1.8G next week.. should i get myself a 85mm f1.8G as well? or should i just familiarise with the 35mm f1.8G first? =)

just stop the buying frenzy. find out the focal length that suits your style and go for it.

me like 50mm

nikon's best 50mm at the moment ---> 50mm 1.8G

sharp, light, fast focusing, n havent gave me probs as my sigmalux

hmm okay... so far found out my close focal length i found out its @ 35mm.. which made me purchased the 35mm prime...
was thinking about 85mm for a mid telephoto on a DX.. eg for streets / portrait... heart that its a good lens for portrait in a DX camera.. which made me thinking about getting one of it too...

or should i cont shooting more with my kit lens? 18-105?

85mm on DX goes to about 135mm's FOV on FX.

I feel that 85mm on DX feels rather tight, need quite some space even just to get half body photograph but it's case by case, some people like 135mm on FX, some people like it on DX.

To me - there's no fixed rule on what focal length on DX / FX.

and your 18-105 VR is a very good starter lens.

You can use software like http://www.cpr.demon.nl/prog_plotf.html to find out your usual focal length (and even ISO, shutter speed, so on so forth)

hmm.. for me the 50mm its like.. say wide not wide, say tight not tight... tried 85mm on my lens shooting.. felt not bad..so how @@ or play with 35mm first?

you got 18-105 VR. you try out la. put it at 35mm, selotape it then to go out and shoot. do it for 50mm / 85mm / 105mm. then see which one you like.

hehe tried 85 alr.. not bad la... liked the tele range... far far shoot people just ayam confuse on isit like getting 35mm and 85mm prime together at 1 shot is not good... should like master 1 first only go for the other... the 35mm i super liked that range... 85mm not bad.. alr longest telephoto prime at a budget price.. felt uneasy with 50mm prime.. far not far close not close feel ><

got money buy lor, no money then don't simply buy lor.

hmm... just dont wanna make the wrong decision @@ 85mm focal length suitable to shoot people taking prizes from stage oso rite?

i think every focal length shot really depend how far you stand from subject.

define STAGE. 85mm sometimes too near, sometimes not enough also.

if I want to take photo of people on stage, I'll get a telephoto zoom lens. 80-200 / 70-200 for example.

ayam not enough money for that type T_T hmm.. normal stage ba... not those big type one... where i can stand in front one..
but main point still tele for streets to prevent our subject from noticing us by using 85mm on crop is good rite?

ehh you ask so much - you should familiarize your with the focal lengths first, then need not ask so many questions. You'll know what you need in the end.
