ya lo.. next time mayb richer abit liao got work only go play film... now stil student =(

hmm... im a DX user now.. planning to get 85mm ( 130mm in DX ) for Portraits / Headshot @ streets wor... what u think?
got a 50mm now... some how feel its like, say not long and say not short that kind of range (75mm) >< kinda hard for carry around lens for me la.
getting my 35mm soon le @ CNY gonna play with it till siao !!

hmm... if Crop then 35mm loh.. i also switching from 50 to 35mm... if for full frame i think 50mm will be fine.. 35mm some say too wide..

if u canon user go get 85mm f1.2
nikon 85mm f1.4

erm u planning to get only 1 nia.. or like a few to cover up the range?

TS, I dunno but I never really felt that I need anything longer than 85mm but that's just me. On a full frame the 85mm feels just right for me.

You could try and see if it can work for you on a crop sensor. No harm trying.

hmm on DX, closest to 85mm if 50mm loh.. but still i feel like still too short... mayb cause of the 10mm.. @@ see how it goes ba. gonna play with my 35mm first =D 85mm wait late abit only get...

btw ur lens kit pure primes? or still got mayb 1 zoom?

canon dont have 35mm f1.8? should be lighter than 35mm f1.4

which samyang are u using? 8mm or 14mm?

what system? for nikon DX i'd say 10.5, 35, 85

i uses Samyang MF 8mm f3.5 fisheye, super deal from Fotogears Samyang 8mm Fisheye
get for rm999...pity the boss for finding me one buck for the change, but never regret of the lens, basically no need to focus, set to f5.6, focus ring to infinity and image sharp from toe to sky

That's the only 3 lenses that I use nowadays. They are all that I need. Been using them for the past 2 -3 years I guess. No zooms at the moment and I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

hmm.. cause im planning to go full prime also... now alr got the 35mm... which should i go next? 85mm or some wide angle prime? kinda limit budget to rm1k...

and should i sell off my 18-105mm / 50mm f1.8D or both to fund a prime lens?

my opinion, sell the 50mm to topup ur 1k to get a nikkor 85mm or the samyang 8mm as mentioned by lamjunrong hehe.

i was just looking at a few great shots from the sigma 15mm. damn nice! anyone using this lens?

hmm.. 85mm first or samyang 8mm? XD ... need to slowly save money... if incase i impatient and wanna get them and wanna sell 18-105mm / both of 18-105mm and 50mm leh? shud i? XD

I would not sell the 18-105mm kit lens. It goes with your current crop factor body.

If you asked me about what primes to get then I think the decision rests more on what you actually shoot.

If you already have the 35mm then shoot with it until you know what else you need. Since you have the 18-105mm kit lens then you can quite easily find out which focal length you need. Tape your kit lens' zoom ring to the 18mm position and shoot with that for a week or two without changing the focal length. Then you will know more or less if 18mm is enough for you or you need wider.

Then tape your kit lens' zoom ring to the 85mm position and shoot with that for a week or two. Then you will know more or less if 85mm can work for you.

okay will do that ! =) thanks for ur opinion !

guys, wanna ask about 85mm f1.8G and f1.8D which should i get? thinking of getting a used one.

Get the G one. Sharper

okay =D decided to get the G one.. btw any idea whats the lowest price for 1st hand 1.8G 85mm? so far found 1.39k nia lowest

Talk about Zeiss...You gonna say FUYOH~~~ Their glass quality is superb and nice...even a >50 years old antique lens is competitive with the lens nowadays.
The colour is damn 3D, the bokeh is so "creamy", the sharpness is good.
They Gonna Take Your Breath Away.

Price? God damn it gonna cost few thousands just for a 50mm. Yeah, like a Ferrari.

Yeah, very expensive branded lens too....same range with zeiss i think?

yea... agak there ba @_@ haha... eh btw i need advice.. im going to buy a 35mm f1.8G already , i'm considering should i get another 2nd hand 85mm f1.8G.. people offering me 1050... 1 year used no any defects in the lens.. how ah?? or should i guai guai shoot with 35mm first ._.

haha why don't get 85mm together 35mm from U.S one shot? I am not sure with 85mm performance, haven't test on it but I heard it produce good bokeh....85mm need to stand very far man...
