Nikon has longer focal length also beside the better flare control to tokina.
I own the tokina before, rrally not use to the short focal length. Almost like uwa prime lens.

Today check the nikon new 18-35 price at melaka. Rm1980...quite mahal...

guys need advise..

my tammy (used lens, 3 yrs old), i just realized sometime it will have the "Err" error on the camera, remount will usually make the msg go away but afterward it came back again. and also when using small aperture F>11/16, the picture became very overexposed, as if the metering system doesn't work. if focus at dark place/ bright place the shutter speed doesn't change.. what might be the problem? sometime when i use in liveview it became ok again.. gosh...

when i tested before buying, was only testing the focusing part.. mostly trying F2.8/F4 with aperture priority mode and it shows no problem, gave me sharp image and properly exposed photo.. now like this pula.. haiz  cry.gif  cry.gif

update

for example just now i do simple test.. AP mode, when viewing thru viewfinder n shoot, the exif is 1/4, F11, ISO400, when using viewfinder, exif is 1/25, F11, ISO400. how can this happen?  icon_question.gif
*
How about the metering mode at spot? Will the exposure constant back?

My tammy 70-300 has this inconsistent exposure in the past. At same aperture, sutter speed and same focus. The captured images will has diff exposure. Spot metering do help on my case but because it under warranty so it was sent back to tammy to get fix. So far so good now

If it has digital kind of dehumidifier, then just set n forget.

But lately my friend get con when he buy the dry box. It actually an analog kind but then the boss tell him is digital because the reading was show as digital...but not sure what brand already.

They say digital one more accurate on the humid control. Just check the humid lvl from time to time lo...once a while open it.

My aipo one if too long no restart...the reading will stuck at 45 or 46 forever even I open the door for sometime...I also feel not reliable on the reading...

Question, anyone had this problem with the monster AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8 before? I know the SWM has a reputation of making noise and then dying off, but this is new.

Look familiar to my friens sony mount sigma 70-300. It make noise like that but cant focus at all. Sent for warranty n found out the gear is broken.

Only have problem at 200mm, so its possibly not a gearing problem. Not in Msia at the moment so repairs will be expensive. Ouch.
Keep 3, 4, 5, get rid of 1 and then get a 70-300mm VR or 70-200mm f/4.

1 overlaps with 2 and 5 so you don't really need it, 3 and 4 are light primes that you might like to keep for travelling or low light. The only thing I think you're short on is the long end.

All assuming FX of course.

Thanks for the fast reply.
Yes is for ff.

I'll keep 2, 4 and 5.

24-85 VR when you have 35-70 f/2.8? 35mm f/2D when you have 50mm f/1.4D?

Disclaimer, I don't have any experience with any of the lens except a short one with 50mm f/1.4D. Judgement only based on focal length and aperture.
*
Thanks. Very close to what I plan already.

The 1 has good range n lightweight for travel. That is what let me feel hard to let it go.

If travel... nowadays I'm getting so lazy I'm planning to buy a mirrorless for traveling  laugh.gif Especially after my Bangkok earlier this year, carrying 6kg+ walking around Bangkok. And rarely bring the camera out because too tired ._. I bet if I was using mirrorless I would be shooting around like crazy.

agreed also...that also y i thinking should i keep the 35-70 and the plan to get 24-70 also dont come into picture anymore.
i seldom take photo for event but i always travel with my 2.5 years old kid. trying to catch him not running around n also with a heavy camera really tiring...

i should keep my panasonic lx5...
