Hi guys,

just wanna check if any of you all are using the D7100? Can share the purchase price?..

Thinking of upgrading from my D90... not ready to step into FX yet as the only FX glass I have is a 50mm only... hehe..
*
The D7100 is a massive upgrade in every aspect from image quality to ergonomics compared to the D90.

Of course, being a newly launched body it's quite expensive lah. But since you're an experienced user already, then FX or the higher end DX bodies like a D400 is a logical upgrade for you I suppose icon_rolleyes.gif

Is the absence of the AA filter really producing such a stark difference in your outputs? You get a little more detail and a pics are a little sharper and unless you are routinely printing billboard sizes, I think it will hardly make a difference. Most people wouldn't even notice. Besides, the 'moment' captured is more important than the details captured but missing the moment completely.

I am referring more to the differences one would experience with the lenses focal lengths when switching to full frame from APS-C. I think that is worth more than a missing AA filter. When you are on APS-C you will seldom use a 50mm lens because it is too tight but would not give you the same feel as an 85mm on a full frame. You will also hunt for UWA that is in the range of 10mm to 16mm but using a FF 20mm is plenty wide and 50mm is great for a walk about and 85mm feels very right for portraits. You won't get this on an APS-C.

No la, I'm not concerned about the AA filter anyway. I jelly because of the focal lengths are not cropped on FF, so 50 = normal, not tele whistling.gif

its a closed group, so the ppl in there will be the same here.
so why not just post stuff here?

Lols, I guess me feels commenting on a particular sub-topic is easier when on FB group?? Like when a member has a specific question, can just comment in that particular post.

Also the same thing for events what, one post gaodim, all who wants to join can just say so on that particular post, noneed to scour a linear based thread to look for RSVPs brows.gif

That's just the way I see it lah, more of an extension of the thread. Talk kok sing song wadever lah like Agito666 said.

anyone here using nikon 40mm 2.8 dx?....how about it over 35mm 1.8g....?...other than focal lenght differ and macro ability...

past i am using 40mm stm canon (pancake) and very pleased with its image quality...
*
The macro lens would be much sharper then the 35 1.8G

Light loss of 1.3 stops is pretty significant though depending on what you shoot.

And also, the working distance is really tight too. Unless it's something in the 90mm range, better just get the 35mm instead.

35mm still beats the 40mm, tried my friends 35mm and it focuses macro much better than the 40mm and has a much wider aperture.
*
Which 40mm are you talking about? hmm.gif

The 40mm mentioned is a dedicated macro lens. So I find it hard to believe that a normal prime lens can do a better job than it.

for DX , theres only the 40mm 2.8 version what?

I've tested it last week (or maybe that was 2 weeks back)

focusing for both 40mm and 35mm was almost similar but of course being a 'dedicated' macro lens , the 40mm was able to focus much nearer to the subject than the 35mm, but for me, with the option of the widest aperture it gives (which is 1.8), I'd take the 35mm any day over the 40mm, if you want to focus nearer without blocking your lighting get a more longer focal length macro lens like the 105 f/2.8.
*
laugh.gif laugh.gif

Yeah, the 40mm's working distance is too close for macro work with live subjects. Which is why it's usually better to get a longer focal length version if the user wants to do macro work on a regular basis.

Nikon G type lenses and Canon pipu need the AF tubes la since aperture control is important in macro. laugh.gif

Yes, but get this only if you use heavy lenses, otherwise Meike branded ones do just the same thing for RM250. Or you can order non branded ones from china for even cheaper. Around 150+ only thumbup.gif

Does the brand for electrical ext tubes matter? the kenkko ones are so expensive compared to the Meike ones.
*
The kenko ones are built with metal mounts on both ends and also with higher quality plastic. Which makes them more suitable for heavier lenses like the 105 VR and above.

If you are just mounting a 50mm G lens on it. By all means just get the meike/non-branded ones.

If you own a 50mm 1.8D or any other lens with an aperture ring, then just get non-electrical tubes for around 15 bucks. Of course with this setup you'll have incredible difficulty confirming focus if you stop down the lens.

As for optical quality, should be a no brainer since these are just hollow tubes.
