rear of lens full of fungus, how come can focus one 
i thought can see one? i blur blur of how camera focus now 

Eh one question: lens cant focus when got fungus meh?

Hey guys, I'm sort of in a purchase dilemma here and I need some advice.

Depending on my results, I am most likely going to be getting a D600 body with 1 prime lens and perhaps a flash unit.

My estimated budget is around RM8k

I want a prime only because I like shooting with them (wider aperture + cheap +sharp + makes me think about framing alot)

From my past experience, my most favorite focal length (and hence my best shots) are from the fujifilm x100's 23mm f2 lens (which is around 36mm on FF). I'm currently using a 35mm on a crop sensor body and while I don't mind the 52mm focal length, I just prefer a slightly wider view. (I don't prefer to take headshots)

So I've been considering the D600 + 28mm f1.8g combo as the lens seems to be really really good and it's wide. The problem being that it's gonna consume my whole budget leaving no space for a speedlite and that I've forgot how it's like to have 28mm on FF equivalent sensors. If my calculations are right, 28mm on FF would be around 18mm-ish on a crop sensor? 18mm on crop was rather wide to me last time, not sure about now. I really want 35mm on FF, but since I can't afford even the sigma alternative, I thought perhaps 28mm won't be too far off.

My question being, is 7mm a big difference?

My other option is to get the 50mm f1.8g which isn't too stressful on my wallet. But having lived with a 52mm FOV and thinking that it's just "slightly" too narrow for my comfort, I'm also a little worried.

So do you think I should get the 50mm f1.8g and save up for a 35mm or stick with the 28mm?
The plan is to get 3 primes for my kit first. (either the 28mm, 50mm and 85mm or the 35mm 50mm then 85mm)

Is it a MF lens?

I guess I'm also thinking of futureproofing etc. so I think I'm still stuck between getting a 50mm and saving for a good 35mm or getting the 28mm as a replacement.

is 7mm alot?

erm is it stupid to get a 35mm 2f if i have a 50mm 1.4f ?

You can see the seriousness of the problem.. he sold it within 2 weeks.. I could have sold it within a month if I had a buyer then, but needed to wait another month for a buyer. You would NOT see the problem when testing it at the shop... unless you can take specific kinds of test shots at the shop and transfer the images into a PC/laptop and look at it. Yeah right...

Like I explained before in my previous post, dont be surprised if some said it is a great lens. They tested it out on a ONE subject at mostly wide open apertures. IT"S JUST IMPOSSIBLE to see it at those settings.Yeah this lens is great at wide open (sharpness,colour) but the reviewers who saw this problem tested it on numerous other things/subjects including a focus chart at various apertures. I just dont know why nikon produced such a flawed lens. Im not so surprised as around the same time they produced the D600 with the dust problem which is a PHYSICAL defect/design & D800 with the left focus point issue. I can understand software/firmware defects but if its physical, especially if it's the insides of the camera or lens.. i'm much better off buying older proven technology.

Yes, exactly.. field curvature does that but the most horrible thing is when this two guys come together : FIELD CURVATURE & FOCUS SHIFT .. Double trouble. I explained it in my previous post. You'll know pain when you take group shots and the center is soft/blurred, the guy standing on the SAME LINE at the left & right is sharp, the guy on the THIRD LINE is sharpest .. WTF?

You can find a used AFD 35 f2... the lens is tough enough cause it doenst have an af motor. a used AF 35mm f2 (non-D) will be much cheaper. Both will AF fine on your camera.

FYI, the OLD Nikon 85mm 1.4D is still in production.. the OLD Nikon 50 1.8D is still in production.. the OLD Nikon 20 2.8D is still in production. Guess what? The 35D is still in production.. why? market wise if this lens was discontinued, what other 35mm prime can you buy for FX? The AFS 35 1.4G? you know how much that costs? Nikon doesnt want people to buy to Sigma/Tamron lenses..they need variety in their product line (price wise).

Dont think Nikon will fix it? Man.. if you buy new, it has a warranty card. THEY WILL FIX IT.

Resale value of the 35D? Around 700-900 depends on age/condition/warranty etc..

Muahahahah... if the lens cost 1.2k ..how much lower can it go down lah kann.. haha.. lucky lah u rugi a bit only..dont know y some people worry too much..hehe..

Nikon needs to stop the production of the OLD 24 2.8D so that everybody can buy the 24 1.4G... cause Nikon knows that everybody has lombong emas belakang rumah..

dont worry.
i am a slow learner too.
when i started photography, i got a nikon 801s and occasionally use my friend's FM 2 plus a sigma 24-70 lens.
i didn't go to the extend of whether 3rd party lens was sharp enough nor did i consider whether the sigma has front/back focus or not.

i was just happy because i have a camera to take photograph with. i guess the world has changed but what i am trying to say here is don't let the so call limited equipment stop you from enjoying yourself in taking photographs.

oh, another thing is, i was a lot more concern about mixing the chemicals and processing the films rather than the lenses and camera specs hahaa

seems like ImBoYbOy is spamming everyone's PM with same questions 

he was ask about shutter count i mentioned, how long DSLR he can keep bla bla bla
and can DSLR keep for 10 yrs?

i ask him back" can a car can keep for 10 years too?" 
ImBoYbOy, you actually just ask here we just reply here, there is no need shy for this.

because we can get more post count and stars
