i dont think any short lenses can be used with tc, even if it could it makes no sense at all to use it.
just take 2-3 steps forward...

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)

cool, was planning to change my monitor to IPS.
currently was eyeing a dell ips u2312hm.. did anyone had any experience with this particular monitor?

i forget what monitor model i used duh... i only know it is 24" and colour contrast is not bad for that time, i forget how many years already....

around the game Mirror Edge release that time... or GC GTS8800 that era i remember, price that time is like 700++

Hello everyone

How do I take these kind of picture as shown in the attachment? Must I be on some steps to take it? Or just stand somewhere around the model's body and take that shot?
