The build is really impressive.
But if you jatuh the lens, definitely bye bye

Build looks good definitely, just the AF capability of the 35mm Sigma. Not the speed, but the consistency to nail the shot. Sensors like 36MP of D800 really demanding...

Go try out.
It's everywhere now.

Need to wait till a friend gets it... >_< don't think any shop would let me test since I'm not keen on buying just for the sake of testing, I already have a Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G.

that is because his photographs were underexposed. noticed he mentioned that he has to brighten the photographs by 1.5 to 2 stops?
should do ETTR (expose to the right)

You have a good eye ifer and you read. I didnt expose correctly because I was shooting another part of the street where it was more lit. Still I think the noise level is acceptable. Its not about the noise but what was happening in the photo right?

Strangely tho, when I resize to 1200px its really sharp compared to other sizes like 800 px or 900 px. And added with flikr's sharpening it appears that I have over sharpen the image when I did not even apply any sharpening. #truestory

Before n After screenshot from my LR. I dont think can do it on my d300 tho.

celciuz in melaka? whats good to do there?
i'll be there this sun / mon...but not bringing my dslr

Makan lo damn alot of good food!

die la if makan 24/7

Really impressive performance there, I wonder if the D800 has the same power of recovery

push the iso to 3200 or 6400
use aperture priority with the compensation dial at +1 to +1.5 stops.
it works for me most of the time.

i know what u mean by the statement: it's not about the noise but what was happening in the photo
but then again, you can always get a better image quality out of your camera, which is a fantastic camera

this

must try this laksa at johnker 88 at johnker streets, RM5

only if its halal...going with others la.

Should be better?

wah.. so far I never go beyond 1600ISO even with the d600. maybe tonite I try at one of the ceramah's in town.

One should not doubt the performance of D600 at high ISO. It can never beat the D4 but definitely on par or maybe slightly better than D800 in that aspect.
I'm into concert photography and I usually shoot between ISO 1600 - 6400 depending on the lighting.
Yes, the noise will be more prominent at higher ISO settings but those are just like film grain which is totally acceptable by my standards.
I personally find that the sweet spot for D600 is at ISO 1600 for low light photography. This was shot with a D600 at ISO 1600 or 2000 I can't recall.

see lo, 85mm i use to blur lightings and all.. need to make sure the background colour nice.. bokeh only come out nice.. if colour plain then result also *meh* only... sometimes wan more of the background de i use 35mm... what lens u used for that? btw if UWA f2.8 the bokeh will be there bo?


i oso using D7000, normally u boost ISO to how much max? i normally max oso 1600 nia, if despo only 2k... but 1600 oso noise start coming out le.. 1200 there stil okay.

the sigma AF capability not good ah? like that means its the IQ quality which makes it claim the first place among 35s in DxO?
