Update: after over 3000 sc, there is no dust coming out anymore. only spot 2 oil marks but i believe it quite normal for a new body.

hmm.gif shoot against a wall with slow shutter and shake the camera around. If you see a dot, that's dust. Oh and do it with the smallest aperture.

Because D700 is still the only non single digit body capable of doing 8fps.

if they can, u gonna buy it? tongue.gif

D700/D3 is still one of the best FX bodies till today. its affordable and it delivers. D800 has a great amount of MP and quite expensive. hard for the hardrive/memory card and wallet. D4 is expensive. D600 has got some flaws n to my personal experience, the WB isnt that accurate and the focusing system isnt as good as D700/800.

*just an opinion from a noob icon_rolleyes.gif *

n so far, the 12MP from the D700/D3 still delivers and serves me well tongue.gif

more reason to buy.

see, even Canon's full frame bodies don't have high FPS unless you buy the 1D X.

D700 is nice but i prefer something with FF + Video capability.

as to my photography preference, 5 - 6 fps works fine. I'm photographing still subjects most of the time.

Nikon's latest marketing strategy... to avoid bodies stealing sales from their flagship ala D700 + D3. So you have the slow but high MP D800... (I don't think there will be a D3X replacement anyways), and the entry FX model D600... leaving the D4 only high fps body from Nikon, second closest would be D700/D300/D300s at 8fps.

So most of you consider D700 over D600?but I heard D700 is discontinued already right? How much D700 new body?
I am not sure the money is worth for old tech + 2nd hand?(D700) or new tech yet still have flaws (D600)

What are the advantages of FX? If I can own FX body but not the lens, can use DX lens temporary?

I am using D90, if upgrade one shot go for FX which recommended by my friend. Saving money ><....

Which DX body that you are using? Looks like you are prepared for FX body ya since you have FX lens...
Quicksilver or Silverfire? sounds familiar...haha...he is funding for lens?

I check already... D700 is 5 fps but can boost until 8 fps with BG. How about D600? can boost it?

if not to comparing fps between them, how about photo quality?

Oh yea, D7100 rumors haven't leak out any news or info yet right?

as from my view, get lens first...as FX lens still can use in DX body, and normally lens dont depreciate as fast as body... so, my concept was like invest in lens better than body, but do invest on body if you find it limits you.

Also, if you have FX body without FX lens, DX lens get vignetted on FX body unless you zoom it till certain zoom range...

thats what i thinking, because i tahan now with D7000 and kitlens, saving for FX lens..lolx...

D600 is designed in such a way that it becomes as light as possible as a FX camera right? laugh.gif
The built quality I think will surely not be comparable to D700, D800 or above~
That said, I think the built of the D600 is very impressive already, living up to its name as a Nikon

We been shooting a lot of d600 and its a decent body, but I find that its short comings are very LOUD. Like when shooting in interior with C/FL lights with out flash, see a lot of red and see a lot of greens. Then another thing is at the most minimum, must use extreme class (for sandisk) SDcards, else after 10-12 raw shots you will wait for it to buffer... buffer and buffer. Anything above 30mb/s is fine. So the slower cards we use for video.

That said, the dynamic range on the d600 is phenomenal (coming from d300). The amount of detail is amazing. Metering (well lit) is AMAZiNG.

But I would not buy a d600. Sticking with my d300 until the shutter dies. or when Nikon comes up with something better than the d600. else I'm jumping ship to a mk3... ehem..

The F3.5-5.6 aperture range will not be good enough for the D90 I think, especially so when in the dark... The kit lens (also F3.5-5.6) of the D90 doesn't perform that well in the dark, starting to show much noise at ISO3200

You are right, but coming from a D90, its a very huge improvement nevertheless haha laugh.gif
And its not like we have any alternatives since the others are so expensive (unless if can still find a D700), the release of a D600 makes owning a FX camera so less damaging to pockets, especially for hobbyists rclxms.gif

What? It not allow to focus at the extreme side? same like my D90 right? tends to lost focus at the extreme side focus points?

Still newbie couldn't analyze photo....i think the lady is lost focus or aberration?

35mm f1.8G is DX lens right? I owned it...quite nice except some minor vignetting.

You need to try your hands on a d600 to test then you will understand... go to the shops and test la xD

Yeah, as long as you focus nearer stuff like 1 to 2 metres, the vignetting is still recoverable.

Yes, 35 1.8G is DX lens. Vignetting on DX shouldn't be a problem. Currently I'm using my D600 with 35 1.8G only. Happier than when I was using D7000 laugh.gif

No, D600 uses D7000's focusing system. So its exactly the same size as the one used in D7000. So all the 39 points are very focused in the middle of the frame.

We been shooting a lot of d600 and its a decent body, but I find that its short comings are very LOUD. Like when shooting in interior with C/FL lights with out flash, see a lot of red and see a lot of greens. Then another thing is at the most minimum, must use extreme class  (for sandisk) SDcards, else after 10-12 raw shots you will wait for it to buffer... buffer and buffer. Anything above 30mb/s is fine. So the slower cards we use for video.

That said, the dynamic range on the d600 is phenomenal (coming from  d300). The amount of detail is amazing. Metering (well lit) is AMAZiNG.

But I would not buy a d600. Sticking with my d300 until the shutter dies. or when Nikon comes up with something better than the d600. else I'm jumping ship to a mk3... ehem..

Depend on the buyer. Certain buyer don't mind cosmetic while some will. For RM50 more, better get the one which is better cosmetically as you can sell it later at a better price later.

1) Check front and back elements. ( Method : use light reflect here there... need magnifier or anything ? )
2) Check focusing ( Speed? sound? accuracy? )
3) Check image from shots? ( but how to? @@ )
4) Check exterior...

Before doing any of that, ask the seller for the serial number. Call up Nikon to see if there's any prior repair done to the lens or anything.

1.) Bring a torchlight (bright white light) to check for FUNGUS and dust when open the aperture blade.
2.) Smooth mechanical function of the aperture blade (open and close smoothly), no grease marks/leakages
3.) Check focus ring, smooth when turning or not.
4.) Yeah, front and back elements coating (got scratch or not)
5.) Focusing mechanism (sound, accuracy)
6.) Check images from shots (check for backfocusing, observe can focus accurately on the subject that you point with focus point, increase/decrease aperture to check bokeh/ depth of field)
7.) Check exterior (any dented part around metal mounting and lens body, metal connector pins etc)
8.) Request purchasing receipt and most importantly warranty card (looks like a nikon paper with serial code)

Don't hesitate anymore, good deals wait for no man...if you are okay with topping up RM50 for a better gold wording (which is more presentable, at lease can know owner has taken good care of it)

Sharing some experience from newbie. Cheers icon_rolleyes.gif

Wow, the gold words can fade so easily? Owner must be holding there a lot, or poor quality ._.

If not mistaken, that whole part can be replaced by Nikon. But price quite expensive, definitely more than RM50.

Warranty slip is preferable since it is like IC card for the lens itself.you won't know whether the lens is from oversea, stolen item, used item for few times or not. However, all depend on your justification.

Yes it is little bit of fading if not mistaken. Or else it is too dark which is insufficient to make the make the wording shine.

i always suspect ppl who sell lenses basically by itself only.
considering the 85mm 1.8G only came out in malaysia about 6-7 months ago...there is no real reason to *lose* everything else.

btw checked with the nikon centre.. the serial number not in record, means this grey lens / from other country... not repaired before... without receipt and warranty card also can get repairing from nikon service centre Malaysia...
but from his profile... saw him selling a D3000 with box oso lah, and a wide angle tolkina...

and that probably explains why got no box etc...
sure can repair...but like i said...the lens barely 6-7 months in malaysia...means any other used one u find will have warranty remaining still.
so why pay for any repair when can claim warranty?

so why pay for any repair when can claim warranty?
*
hmm..ya lo.. hope the lens wont spoil so fast ba rclxub.gif it should be grey lens imo, since serial number not registered in msia... looking for another lens which warranty left 8month for rm1.2k.. condition like better.. + box and all..

I using d3100 now but want to have more focus point and faster auto focus (since I like to shot on random people and sport etc)
Should I get a second hand d7000 or just wait for new d7100 come out?
When d7100 come out will d7000 price drop?

This is will be my first camera upgrade, and plan to get a prime lense for portrait shot after that

Random shot with d3100 70-300mm

Just warranty card no receipt can be sent for repair I think. Since I sent my camera for cleaning, I always send with warranty card only.

No record in Nikon Centre not sure if its Grey lens wo, it just proves its not been sent for service/repair before. And since Nikon covers international warranty for its lenses, so hmm.gif

If not mistaken, that whole part can be replaced by Nikon. But price quite expensive, definitely more than RM50.

My friend has issue with Nikon Malaysia when he claimed for warranty, apparently Nikon Msia don't honor the international warranty and need to 'purchase' Msia warranty. But that was 2 years ago LOL, not sure if anyone tried to claim warranty recently?

Bro, use spoilter for huge photo ><.

In order to check aperture blades, at the lens mounting there, you will find a small piece of plastic appearing from a hole beside the metal connector pins....just move it and check. it is a switch where you need it to wide open your aperture hole and check for fungus.

Sharpness is brows.gif , bokeh is on another level too brows.gif but I preferred the 85mm's range + color... so I took 85mm back then.

Also because I was on DX... so 135*1.5 is kinda.. too tele for my taste:P

actually for my line of works - i love to use the D90 (my trusty crop sensor brows.gif ) + the 85mm. in halls, mosques, big big areas, it just delivers. so 85 x 1.5 = approx 130mm. so i figured that if i wanna use FF for maximum bokehness feel, 135mm is the perfect match. so there i bite the bullet tongue.gif

but CY got a point - color wise it even loses to my 85 1.8G (me no haz 1.4G like u sad.gif )

but so far, so good. cant wait to fully utilize it this weekend! thumbup.gif

D90 really is a good DSLR? I am using it. Duno i am still newbie or what, I duno how to utilise it...always get photo that is lack of sharpness if use the extreme side focus point...

and 11 focus points like not enough or flexible for me to point and headshot with different angle for full portrait.... sad.gif

So noob. doh.gif Need advices.

I lack of time and guidance to learn post-processing, digital blending, HDR etc.... just simple WB, exposure adjustment. cry.gif

Wokay...any flaws or special operation on the D90 nature? Is battery grip really helps in shooting? I find it too exotic for just to grab. Feel want to get ori one but as secondhand. I heard third party BG do actually pull down our shutter speed? isn't?

Wow, so many of you supports for 85mm f1.8G, gonna try it if I have the chance...

The 50mm f1.8D has lesser distortion and vignetting, colour very nice and sharp. My gf prefer 50mm over 35mm duno why. Perhaps she feels the bokeh and colour is nice.

35mm wide enough to take 3-5 people, fast in focussing, sharp, but duno why overall colour still lose 50mm. I read reviews that 35mm have distortion, vignetting occurs at big aperture (lower number of f), darker colour toning at the side.

I have tried 50mm f1.8G, superb fast and silent focusing, darn sharp if compare with 35mm f1.8g. I duno why too...thats why it makes me dilemma in choosing 35mm f1.8G and 50mm f1.8G as their secondhand price is almost similar. But I chosen 35mm because of is focal length, I don't need to stand so far to take portrait photo.

Perhaps I consider replace my 50mm f1.8D with 50mm f1.8G.... is that wise and worth? any reviews from sifu and pro?

Perhaps I consider replace my 50mm f1.8D with 50mm f1.8G.... is that wise and worth? any reviews from sifu and pro?
*
50 f1.8g is sharper than both 35mm and 50mm 1.8d.. maybe u could save some money for 85mm? bt 85mm on dx is wayy too long..

i love the 50mm quality..both it's bokeh n sharpness are better..bt focal length is a problem..>< >< .. if outdoor shooting, 50mm would be lovely..indoor, 35mm rite?
i think i'll get 50mm 1.8g la.

Haha yeah, suitable for street photography and indoor like restaurants etc. Yes, 50mm like hanging in the air, not too wide, not too tele =.=
I like 50mm f1.8G too...but I feel I lack a wide angle.

I consider about 85mm focal length too...like too long for me. Seldom use this length.

Recently broke ad, recovering my wound and save money for DX wide angle lens? FX lens? or FX body? not sure yet. But now I feel want to get a MB-D80 battery grip. hard to grab my D90 vertically...

don't know what to buy is a clear sign of don't know what you shoot, what you like to shoot, and what's your style / preference.

you already have a D90 and a good set of lens. stick with it unless you want to try something else, eg Macro or UWA landscape

Yea, now still hobbyist (which hardly spend time and serious to learn) stage and play around/master with DX 1st. if really go deeper then upgrade to FX but not DX. as FX body tech continue to improve, it is better invest on lens 1st. that's why still considering lo. many factors like time (still students then will work in future, mindset tends to change, maybe invest on property bla bla bla), income etc.

If continue to buy DX lens, then they are hardly to be use with FX body if upgrade in future. like wasted lo since I can prepare to pump for FX lens and use it temporary on DX body. So now still in dilemma and figuring out lo, only buy the DX lens when need them.

This is my first DSLR, wanted a camera so much since secondary school but not manage to get it. Just realize how important memories are until a friend of mine passed away....Until last year my friend ignite my photography desire again then one shot pump for DSLR, happy with it as it has retained some nice moments. So until now it just a hobby for me other than the poor gaming life (not so good, it won't develop anything inside of you).

That's my thought...perhaps gone to far.

Initial plan for next target is UWA lens. I like landscape photo.

Dear all sifu, need some advise here....

View back some recent shots with my 50 f1.4D, I found something that scare me… >.<

I realize when I shoot nearer to the subject, the outcome is sharp and nice (refer first photo)
But when I shoot more far from the subject, the outcome is soft, creamy and really cannot for me…it looks like out of focus. (refer 2nd and 3rd)
I am suspecting focus issue on my body but with another kit lens, the outcome is good and acceptable (maybe aperture fix at 3.5 max. don’t give big difference?)
Any sifu here have experience this before might give some advise? Or it is normal??
If there is focus problem on the lens, how much estimate cost me if need to send to service centre?

Okay la 1/16 is the lowest power. I found another flash around the office and that one doesnt even have power control! you have to balance it with aperture instead, based on the distance scale written on the flash itself laugh.gif

Maybe you can try this:
Shoot with LiveView and compare the result. If the result is different under same shooting setting and lighting condition, you might want to check for Focusing issue.
You can also try shooting using manual focus to compare.

Also check if your lens is dirty, oil marks, etc. If got filter, try removing the filter and shoot.

I know my D90 and D700 AF got hit and miss when focusing to far away distance... should be similar with D800. It will be more accurate if you shoot with cross sensor, compared to the non cross.

Does Nikon D5100 have the Exposure Preview Mode like in Canon's liveview where varying the aperture, shutter and ISO can show the expected exposure outcome of the image?

In live view, the D5100 AF assist lamp doesnt work, this is quite bad, although the camera bumped up the ISO to assist in Live View, but the AF Assist Lamp just won't ignite so it is difficult to autofocus in low light during live view

Does these problems happen with the Nikon D600?

afaik, only d800 got the live exposure preview...and nikon apparently are suppose to release a fix to get rid of it.
live view, i dont think any of the models got the assist lamp come on.

you can send to service center for foc cleaning as long as the body is local set.
but the problem is the service centre is not located next door. It takes time and money(petrol) to get it done. doh.gif

With any sensing device it needs to be clean and calibrated. So the best way is to compare it with another sensor lo

I need some advice on the lightroom v4.3.
Recently I feel the advantages of RAW (aka .NEF format) file for editing.
Normally the photo preview in the lightroom is more rich in colour right? then soon after it finish loading, the colour became dull, less saturate,less contrast, etc...

What I see is what I get (which is dull)? or the DSLR one is the real one?
I was being told that RAW files are like that one (dull), which good for editing.

I also being told we can load back the rich colour data back to the RAW file after we export it as JPEG directly in lightroom without editting, but it doesn't happen like what I think. It is same as the dull photo i view from lightroom.

So, If I like the photo straight out from camera (&lazy edit bunch of photos just to make the photo looks more colourful), how to put back the colour coding and export as JPEG? icon_question.gif

check whether or not you assigned color profile like Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB by accident.

why choose Adobe? Stick to sRGB easiest. Go Adobe RGB only if you know what you're doing.

Most people's monitor can't even view Adobe RGB color gamut properly to begin with.

Some browsers don't support ICC color profile either.

I was like you last time, too clever use Adobe RGB. After come back, wonder why all skin tones look like zombie after I upload to the Internet.

That's not to say Adobe RGB isn't good. If you want to max out the colors, have the screen to view it and want to print out with all the colors - it's really great. Prophoto RGB covers even more color gamut.

for starters, just stick to sRGB. I still use sRGB for my professional work. It's not a matter of concern in my deliverables so I'm not bothered.

sRGB is still the best color space for web use if your objective is to provide the best viewing experience for the widest audience.

You photograph in JPG, right? If you are, try converting your Adobe RGB photo to sRGB. Vomit blood. tongue.gif

is it really that bad?

my D90's LCD is quite accurate. my 60D's LCD is not that accurate (maybe because of its super high reso..looks very nice in LCD, in LR not as nice as LCD but not a big prob).

but i think wut ur experiencing is LR reads the RAW file. meaning if in ur D90, ur using a preset/picture control thingy on vivid/landscape/watever it is, when LR reads RAW, it changes back to the RAW state.

so..i dont think ur LCD is not accurate. maybe its the preset thingy. or maybe ur just not satisfied. but to be honest, the D90 that i own still give me good results/color. and i shoot 100% RAW. i really dont know what is that ur trying to achieve but editing my D90 files are really a breeze imo smile.gif

Erm, initially when i view from "develop" tab, It shows similar colour tone with my DSLR Screen (still blur), but after it finish loading to a more clearer state then it fade off. rclxub.gif

it is like desaturated about 50% after loaded. hmm.gif lightroom setting problem?

Oh yes, I use vivid (edited) preset control when shooting.

What I notice at the bottom of the lightroom (where you can view your whole row of many photo tumbnail), it is rich in colour too, but when i click it and load on the editting big panel, it fade off forever including tumbnail too. except the remaining photo that haven't clicked from the tumbnail, load and view.

i understand wut ur saying about the loading thingy. i dont think its LR problem because u already said u shoot vivid.

in LR, it reads RAW, and the vividness will be taken away that's y ur seeing desaturated stuffs.

i never use NEX by nikon so i dont know if it can read RAW vivid. btw, in LR, develop> camera calibration, try and change it to camera vivid. see if it makes u happy abit more. or just add some saturation.

btw how bad ur 'zombie' photos looks like? care to post some example of this 'desaturated' photos?

Yeah, this doubts already occurred at the end of last year for my Sabah trip, my friend told me RAW memang is like that since it take out the presets.

It just I am lazy to edit nia XD. Gonna try out your express technique (camera vivid).
but I fall in love with RAW. awesome, I got my Sandisk 32gb extreme 45mb/s already. Shot like mad.

Long way to learn. Hard to handle D90 at low light condition even thought I am using 35mm f1.8G + flashgun. ISO have to pump up to 1000 in order to get faster shutter speed but a lot of noise shakehead.gif . my cousin's canon 7D sensor is impressive under low light condition. But most of his photo couldn't capture the background ambient colour, it is like become very dark behind (even thought have yellow light in the hotel).

Misuse of flashgun power output? I duno the concept. Is like sensor only detect the light that flash on the subject? it neglect the background ambient lighting? curious hmm.gif

this one pulls back to the basics - shutter speed, iso, and aperture. nowadays with ETTL/iTTL, flashguns are made for fill flash (and other stuffs as well la tongue.gif) but we're talking about fill flash here. it seems to me that from wut u wrote, maybe ur cousin is using fast shutter speed, low iso, moderate aperture.

wut u need to do to counter this is - use iso, shutter speed, and aperture accordingly to the ambient lighting, to capture the ambient lighting, and then let the iTTL/ETTL work its magic. it works for me everytime.

and one more thing - u sure onot D90 sensor kenot fight with 7D's? tongue.gif in my personal test, the D90 wins by a hair in noise performance. and the 7D's shadow area noise produces more banding and color noise. sounds like u really havent pushed ur D90 to the limit and ur afraid to bump the iso. dont be. because the D90 imo produces really good images even with high iso's. the D90 loses to the 7D on ergonomics, focusing system, fps, but not on sensor performance. and not to forget - the D90 has got more dynamic range than the 7D. which is a blessing to me laugh.gif

if u really know how to fully utilize the dynamic range, flash, ISO capabilities..seriously, the D90 can produce really great photos.

take ur time and learn ur camera. ur shooting RAW already ma smile.gif

exactly as what you said! he using ISO 300-500 (hardly for the sensor to sense surround light?), 3.5-5.6 aperture due to kit lens (low light absorption?), faster shutter speed (i think he want to prevent handshake + capture children & use the flashgun to compensate the faster shutter speed)<<< similar technique used by me.

Any advice on the environment that with yellowing dim lighting + wide space where bouncing light is ineffective? (hotel, KLCC exihibition hall etc)? I found out that diffusal white cap eventually direct more light to the subject and spoilt the photo == Wanna get Gammilight Event pro but it isn't cheap.

Oh I see, I hardly to touch Canon DSLR. yeah, I very scare of noise, I notice it starting ISO 800. I got on the "High ISO NR" to High setting, and on the "Long exp. NR"

Wow, D90 so geng ah? shocking.gif Any advises on the flashgun + noise reduction? notworthy.gif

dont be afraid to use high iso la..haha

up to 6400 oso i have used..yes there's noise..but if u captured the moment, why scare noise? i was like u when i started photography - scared with noise. as i moved on, noise is nothing really. that's why they said, understanding photography is understanding light.

actually with high high ceilings oso the SB series can bounce one..if langit oni cannot bounce. see how high the ceiling, then try first. if can bounce, then bounce. if u try n no effect - its either bounce card or use large apertures and high ISO lor smile.gif

turn off the Long exposure NR if possible - it'll make ur photos load more slow in camera.

looks like ur the kind of person who's really scared of noise tongue.gif in time u'll get over it. hopefully.

advises on flashgun and noise reduction? - use iTTL on ur sb900. its a super great feature. and use large apertures, shutter speed accordingly. if ur using 35mm then put at 1/50, 1/60 enough edi unless ur freezing moments. so no nid to bump iso kaw2. look at the granma pic u posted just now - got see noise onot? no got la if glance..how many people will see the pic then zoom in 100%? people see pic 5seconds then change other pic lo tongue.gif

some more if posted a pic of a sexy girl, no matter how bad the noise oso people see loooooong time ma laugh.gif it proves that subject matters more smile.gif

WOW you all serious la... so early on 1st day or lunar new year so many textss.......

@Holyjolly I didnt read carefully cos its too early and too much text la about the problems .. but RAW files does not include color profiles. Thats why its 'taken away'. You try set your color profile to monochrome. Load it into LR or direct into PS. You will understand what I'm saying better. Even ur contrast & saturation on the camera body does not effek the RAW file.

Ok la.. 'old photo'

When you shoot NEF, it also comes with a 'small preview' JPEG embedded in it. So basically as you import to LR, it will show the embedded preview then when "finish loading" it will load what LR is cooking the raw (NEF) for you.

LR is unable to detect what is the actual settings you did on camera (Vivid, Standard, Portrait, Landscape etc including sharpness, saturation bar). My experience is that when you set the default "Vivid", you need to set "Vivid" in Camera Calibration under Develop module. But, if you did some tweaking in camera, you need to do trial and error in LR to get the exact copy.

For the benefit of Nikonian. Most internet browsers support sRGB only. If I am not mistaken, only Safari supports both sRGB and Adobe RGB. Goldie's mistake was the same mistake I did last time. I shoot in AdobeRGB (because the camera can only shoot in that space) and do all the post in AdobeRGB.

And uploaded my works on my website using the same colour space. Now, I use Safari and my monitor is callibrated. View back my website from my computer, damn cun. Then go to other people's computer use chrome or fox, I was shocked.

Got to re colour space every single photo and re upload it to my website. It was painful but necessary. So, just stick to sRGB and pump a little abit of saturation and smart sharpen to your photograph before you upload it to the internet.

What I wonder is, since everyone is using different monitor, different browser...any processing standards(the common nice saturation, exposures etc) to be done when using lightroom? and the monitor settings too...normally I am using 50% brightness for my laptop screen. I heard there is some manufacturer introduce monitor pixels that is match with the Adobe colour....

What I wonder is, since everyone is using different monitor, different browser...any processing standards(the common nice saturation, exposures etc) to be done when using lightroom? and the monitor settings too...normally I am using 50% brightness for my laptop screen. I heard there is some manufacturer introduce monitor pixels that is match with the Adobe colour....
people may not be using a calibrate monitor with good LCD panel but color is still color, they still get to see it.

smile.gif that's why for professional purpose, we use good grade LCD and do calibration. It doesn't have to be top end LCD or super detailed calibration, just a basic one will do.

It wasn't there when it was new, its basically a problem happened due to wear and tear. So when buying 2nd hand zoom lens, becareful. This is more likely to happen to zooms than primes.

ur putting the subject in the middle?

any light modifiers? or ur trying to do a high key background?

and the front speedlight, i wud suggest a 45degree tilt or unless ur using a superhuge softbox and planning to stand infront of the huge softbox.

its mostly a basic 3 lighting setup i reckon. dont know if it will work. couldnt test it now as i only have one sb700 at home. other sb's at the office zzz. if u havent bought the other 2 SB700, i'd suggest buy a yongnuo 460 version. it retails about RM180 each. and u can set em be a slave without a trigger (needs a master). like the setup u draw.

goodluck!

normally i do like this, for no shadow portraiture, need 3 stands lol
i used 2 big softbox for both left and right,
then the middle 1, i used reflector (kinda like umbrella), 45 degree up facing behind
i stand infront of the middle flashgun
power wise, both left and right use same power while the middle one uses less power, but also depends of the effect u wan la laugh.gif

afaik that setup will not work.
better just to use su-4 mode on the flash and trigger by built in flash...of cos that means manual settings...same if u use external triggers anyway and which u will need 1 transceiver on body and 3 receivers on flashes.

Hello everyone

How does center metering works?

Does it only meter strictly at the CENTER of the image?

If I took the leftmost focus point as my point of focus, will it be based upon amongst the left side for center metering?

Are you referring to center weighted metering? If center weighted, it will meter based on the center area, ignoring where your AF position is located.

after abandoning my D800 for a while now, decided to give it a go again. well, im a prime guy, and a very cheap 1 laugh.gif

so i tested it with 3 of my primes - 28 1.8, 50 1.8, and the 85 1.8. all G series lenses.

both 3 is giving me inconsistent results. but mostly the 50mm 1.8G (my fav lens to use in any occasions)

i rarely use other focusing points other than the center, most of the time, i recompose. adding to this problem, the center focusing point, using my 50G @ f1.8, is giving me inconsistent results. sometimes its tack sharp like im using the liveview, but sometimes it backfocuses abit.

i understand that the D800 has got a really demanding sensor - even more demanding with fast aperture lenses. well..this problem really bothers me as im looking to fully utilize the not-so-long forgotten D800 of mine on my upcoming gigs.

any of u D800 users has experience the same thing?

Calvin Seak? CY? Others?

sighh..really lazy wanna stop by nikon as im based in subang sweat.gif

im replying to my earlier post myself due to nobody replied tongue.gif

anyways, tried and tried it again n again, it seems that the middle AF is giving me quite accurate results. atleast 8/10 in focus which is good enough imo.

but i found the culprit behind this - the AF assist light that comes from my speedlight(s) (im using the SB700 and SB910 for the tests), once i turned off the AF assist light from the flashgun, things seems to be in good focus. im quite happy about this.

so..any of u is going thru this also? does this means my speedlights' AF assist light arent accurate? (note that i use 2 different speedlights and it gives me almost the same out of focus results, i had to put the AF fine tune on -20 when im using speedlight+AF assist from the speedlight, once AF assist is off, no fine tune is needed to nail a shot - using the 50mm 1.8G @ f2)

any thoughts is appreciated! thumbup.gif

Yes, I noticed this happening with fast primes especially (f/1.4~f/1.8) but speed light AF nailed for my other zooms f/2.8 or f/4 without issue.

yup, need to upgrade the DX lineup..
i am stuck with D300s for Dx setup, not going to D7000 because it feels.. light..
i like the fast D300s but i like the video option that the D7000 have..

well, lets hope the D7100 or D400 can be a good replacement..
and lenses too! no new lens for Dx liao~

as for the Fx no need lah.. enough with D4 and D600 dulu lah..
maybe make a 2470VR or something, but i dont think there's much use n having VR in that range on FX

When you shoot with D800, VR helps tongue.gif The 36MP with high pixel density sensor isn't exactly forgiving to handshake, let alone mirror slap.

true that!

usually 1/50 is enuf for my 50mm (12mp), but now i need atleast 1/80 to reduce the shake blur. not that noticable on normal viewing tho, but if one wants superb results, stay on the safe side loh laugh.gif

imo, the 24-70G lens is really a very good lens for events. where u need the mid range versatility, on FX, its really sharp wide open.

its a workhorse of a lens. very good for jobs, superb investment.

just that for now, im abandoning mine due to primes oso tongue.gif

primes' good if one knows how to anticipate the event. if not, the 24-70G loh tongue.gif

Hahha Tony! Sorry!! Busy la with CNY and house visiting and other activities tongue.gif

Uhmm I normally shoot with AF-C 3d tracking so theres no AF light from my SB910..

Uhmm Actually I do even miss focus from my 16-35 F4! Deng!

The only primes I have is a zeiss 35mm 1.4 which is manual focus so I couldn't really comment on that and the 50mm 1.8 rarely use it unless i go traveling smile.gif

I still haven't sent my D800 for check up! Died half way while shooting in the rain in December 2012! Scared the hell out of me! LOL Manage to revive it back after 5 days!

Uhmmm Should be alright..

I had the 7 million before but its kinda crappy! Damn uncomfortable.. I think you better get a proper camera bag.. Many sling bags out there which is a better option than crumpler!

Hi guys, I was just wondering if I buy a Nissin flash, anything wrong within warranty period, I can just send back to distributor in PJ.

But what if it spoils after warranty? Distributor has to send back to original country to repair and then send back to Malaysia? No service centre here kan?

Thanks!

Bokeh at the edge showing its on FF, plus the subject size vs background, looks like a 50mm or 85mm, but more like a 50mm to me.

bokeh is a feature of the lens right...
sensor size only determines the DoF.

Because DX can't capture the edge of the lens? DX only capture what's in the middle portion and teardrop bokeh only appear at the edge of the lens.

oh, very different from Canon.

despite having the AF-On button, I custom set it to use the AE-lock button (2nd from the right)

just like you, I don't have long thumb so it's much more comfortable than reaching for the AF-On button.

lets hope the D7100 uses the same batt grip as D7000.
tho if rumors are true, a D400 / D9000 will still appear later this yr.

i think i hear a D7100 calling...
so with 70-200 + 2x TC + 1.3x crop mode = 420-1200mm equivalent whistling.gif

QUOTE
D7100 can shoot at up to six frames per second (fps) at full resolution and up to seven fps when using the new 1.3x crop mode at slightly reduced resolution.

1.3x Crop Mode - Sports photographers take note: Building upon the telephoto benefits of the DX-format, the D7100 has the unique ability to shoot in a 1.3x DX crop mode for both stills and HD video. While in this innovative mode, shooters will gain an extra telephoto boost (2X), and a boost in burst speed to seven fps, with 15.4- megapixel resolution. Additionally, while in this mode, the 51-point AF array covers more of the frame, allowing improved subject acquisition and tracking performance through the viewfinder.

yeah apparently 1.3x. now comes DX confusion for Nikon users. Last time for Canon, the 1.3x is APS-H.

Now Nikon has 2 types of APS-C.

actually the 1.3x is on top of the 1.5x crop factor.
so basically it becomes a 15mp 1.95x crop / as nikon says "While in this innovative mode, shooters will gain an extra telephoto boost (2X)".

sure saves on getting a 2.0TC...tho having one would be good too so can get way more range tongue.gif

well, this is like a D800 mated with D4...then got sodomized by a D7000...and out comes a D7100.

i think the above is rather confusing. D7100 with D800/D4 specs? Best you highlight specifically what specs.

my take is this

D600 for portraits / products / fashion / still life - FX sensor for the details and noise control.

D7100 for sports / events / anything with fast movement. The D7100 has 1/8000 shutter speed and more 51 AF points flexibility.

yup the AF feels slower/more sluggish compared to the D700 (duhhh..) and to centered - but imo still works very good.

hopefully the price of the D600 will still drop a bit after the release of this D7100...

Can someone explain to me about this feature on the D7100?

"Sequential mechanism that contributes to high-speed operation"

Does this mean aperture control in live view similar to Canon's mechanism

My experience so far with Nikon AF is

D4 = very fast!
D800 = fast!
D600 = doesn't feel fast!

D600 has WiFi though but the app looks lousy, very unlike Canon app.

Both D600 and D7100 are in different leagues. One FX and one DX. Why they would want to further lower the price of D600 when D7100 isn't a competitor to D600. FX is still FX after all.

if they lower the price of D600, it could end up hurting the sales of D7100.

a price gap is need to separate the market, it is an indicator of difference in class.

most people is complaining that the D800 has got too many MP, i was too. but after utilizing my 800 for quite a while now - wedding assignments, studio assignments..imo the MP is jussst nice. infact, it makes my D700's MP feels not enough sweat.gif

so for those who dont wanna buy the D800 because of the MP, just buy it. its a great additional tongue.gif

plus it has got a great dynamic range, movie mood (it works good for me tongue.gif), dual card slots, bla bla..its a great camera imo smile.gif

yup the AF feels slower/more sluggish compared to the D700 (duhhh..) and to centered - but imo still works very good.

but in LV mode, kenot change aperture really bugs me laugh.gif

i think the above is rather confusing. D7100 with D800/D4 specs? Best you highlight specifically what specs.

my take is this

D600 for portraits / products / fashion / still life - FX sensor for the details and noise control.

D7100 for sports / events / anything with fast movement. The D7100 has 1/8000 shutter speed and more 51 AF points flexibility.

Nicely put man thumbup.gif
Useful for potential buyers torn in between the DX D7100 or FX D600 rclxms.gif

Nikon really knows how to market their stuffs, the newly released are almost always better than the previous ones regardless of the class rclxub.gif

I'm guessing around RM4.5k-5k for the body only when it reaches Malaysian shores hmm.gif
Otherwise it will be too close to the price of the D600 already, which will hurt the sales of the D600 hmm.gif

B&H preorder at USD1.2k body only.

So 36XX body only and 45XX with kit lens seem accurate.

i think that way too but but with 85 already in hand.
50 might as well be redundant with DX.
some suggest 24 2.8d but price a bit steep compared to 35.

35 had 2 variant which is the D and the G.
anyone had any takes on these? smile.gif

D600 is for less wrist pain n sore..
D800 for pro-er feel~
D7100 for DX goodness..
D7000 price would fall, then grab them for tighter budget..

This is awesome... I'm already having fun with my D800 in crop mode and still got more MP than my D90/D700... now this D7100 lagi cun! Good for those always going to Sepang and no budget for those supertelephoto.

for now my D3 sits nicely in the cabinets and D800 is on full utilization mode! laugh.gif

honestly nikon messed up during the D3, and D700 era. people ended up with the 700 laugh.gif

not much difference pun. but in my personal opinion, the D3's abit sensitive, in low light without the AF assist light (it doesnt have any sweat.gif ) it still can nail focus nicely.

but i've had 3 x D3 bodies and 2 of em got focusing probs. needs to AF fine tune. and had 4 x D700 bodies, oni one has got focusing issues that needs AF fine tune.

for me, the D700 for the win. why? u can choose to add the grip or not. sometimes wanna travel no nid grip leh tongue.gif and the grip has got the knob which really helps as well. and i really love when i can choose to put grip or not laugh.gif

as for the D3, dual card slots is a great feature, and i like where they put they ISO button.

either cameras is super good if one knows how to fully utilize it. if use super power cameras but pics like crap oso no use rite? thumbup.gif

but i've had 3 x D3 bodies and 2 of em got focusing probs. needs to AF fine tune. and had  4 x D700 bodies, oni one has got focusing issues that needs AF fine tune.

for me, the D700 for the win. why? u can choose to add the grip or not. sometimes wanna travel no nid grip leh tongue.gif and the grip has got the knob which really helps as well. and i really love when i can choose to put grip or not laugh.gif

as for the D3, dual card slots is a great feature, and i like where they put they ISO button.

either cameras is super good if one knows how to fully utilize it. if use super power cameras but pics like crap oso no use rite?  thumbup.gif

What you do with that many bodies.... I thought you were still a student? shocking.gif shocking.gif

it'll be pretty close, usually actual selling price in shops once released should be lesser.

The lower the shutter, the nicer the panning looks. But if its blur, then you still didn't nail the shot... I would prefer to go higher shutter speed to nail the shot and still with panning effect. Especially side view should be easier to get all parts intact due to the motion direction.

Cheapest FX now need close to RM6K, before that you need more. Higher end FX cost over RM10K. How do you define overprice DX?
D7000/D7100 is higher end DX, the differences are important enough for many DSLR users

As for your tracking, the lenses also play very important role. What lens are you using?
Hop in Nikon Centre @ Berjaya Times Square and try these lenses:
55-300mm f/3.5-f/5.6 DX
70-300mm f/3.5-f/5.6
80-200mm f/2.8
70-200mm f/2.8

See the huge difference in the focusing speed and accuracy

I only have 70-300mm f/3.5-f/5.6 for mid long range shot, this lense is my favorite
Night shot fastest lense I have is 50mm f1.8, to cover weakness of first lense
And 18-55mm just as backup, in case both upper lense don't fit situation
My lense should be complete for dx now

From my experience panning at Sepang, I find shoot without monopod gives me better result, maybe because I'm shooting with 70-200 VR2 + TC-20E III instead of those 300mm, 400mm or 200-400mm supertelephoto or I'm not used to panning on monopod.

My shots from Super GT 2012,
