Thanks for opinion bro... Will consider either 50mm f1.8 or 35mm f2... But both looks tempting... But i think i will go for 50mm... 35mm is kinda wide for me...

Yeah you are not wrong haha, but it seemed like Pro3363 might be short on budget at the moment ma lol
A 50mm 1.8d/g is much cheaper, and imho, much more challenging to use = more improvements hehe~

The reason why I voted for a 50mm is because its cheap haha
Its a very good prime lens but you might want to replace it with a 35/85mm later on after you have the 24-70mm (planning ahead )

Get a 50mm first, then furthur down the line you can decide whether wider (35) or tele (85) is the next step to take.

But la, imho eventually you'll get all three AND will keep it even if you have a 24-70 zoom.

Maybe I will get 35 + 50 and trade in my 28-300mm for 70-200 f4...

Does anyone know or have recommendation on a dual harness camera strap for 2 bodies? I like Black rapid's design but not the way it holds the camera... using the tripod mount hole. Is there any using the original strap hooks? Only one I see so far is Optech dual harness.

What about dual holsters? black widow types.

70-200 F4 not really worth it though, same price as a Tamron 70-200 VC summore.

But it's a good buy if you're concerned about the weight la

You can get the Blackrapid's with QR hooks so that it permanently uses the tripod mount hole with tripod mount attached.

Someone is selling off his 35 F2D for 650 bucks

I just recently sold of my 35mm f2d for rm700...
Now looking forward 85mm

i just fall in love with kit lens

Mini Butterfly by alpha infinite, on Flickr

wow... this is nice... I love the colour...

I don't like the idea of using that tripod mount, because I don't think the designers at Nikon took in consideration of that tripod mount to carry the entire weight of the body + lens on the other way around.

Just curious, how do you get those lens flares? Are they photoshopped?

yup red giant software- knool light factory

I'm not sure I will keep my 50mm F1.8 haha
Might get a 85mm or 105mm micro instead Wide angle lens will probably come last since I don't really know how to use them

The other time I was also looking for a way around BlackRapid's reliance on using the camera body tripod mount.

I found this instead.

It shows a Canon body but the idea is there. Use back only one of the original strap eyelet ring on the camera body with a bungee cord like what Thinktank does for some of their bags. One of the readers gave a comment to use the left eyelet so that the strap does not get in the way when shooting vertical or horizontal.

how bout cotton carrier? not using original strap hooks to mount...but at least the bodies dont dangle around when you walk.
but apart from that, optech i think is the only one that uses original strap hooks.

ya i did that with a mix of optech sling strap and customslr c-loop, but i wont use it if you're gonna mount with 70-200 etc.

Yes, was thinking that coupled with a lens like 70-200mm f/2.8, it'll be a little heavy. Not to mention additional stress to the Nikon lens mount.

If the lens itself has it's own strap ring like the 200mm f/2.0 or 300mm f/2.8, that would be fine.
