so all the time i m shooting in Hi-1 in "slightly" dark environment

Not that much compared to taking out the bottom 6 lenses

if u can afford to buy the last 6 lenses in one shot... i don think u r in the money saving mood

i think it is just a publicity stunt la

for that kind of money, at least throw in a few speedlights and a bag full of accessories la

a dry cabinet and a branded tripod would be nice too..

yea true.... to me with that list those few can be just removed hahahhaa... of coz for those rich ppl remove / dont remove just pay cash

Wondering how much is the last 6 lens...

Woah, a camera or a house?

Imagine carrying all of that on you in one go

I rather house...

like carrying a house in hand

Actually still ok la compared to those unker and richfag kids driving banglo-price-equivalent cars on the road

Its just a matter of perspective la I guess
At least exotics won't give you hand/shoulder pain haha, and won't get stolen that easily

Anyways, back to the Nikon set haha, I wonder who it is aimed at? Pro-Canon users jumping ship? haha, even so, that's a lot of lenses. most people won't use that much I guess

let ppl set up exhibition in their house... need to build custom dry cabinet...

or to boost their e-penor equivalent

the 50mm f1.2 n tilt shift lens all oso missing.... coz no nanocoat...

Only high end studios have a real reason to get this lah. Otherwise you can buy this to whack people also

Even wildlife photogs usually just get one and then use teleconverters if they want more range.

Hmm, for exhibitions, I would definitely prefer getting all those older generation Nikons. Went and have a look at all of them at Nikon Timesquare, gotta love'em all

Good idea, getting a knock on the head with a D4 sure effective, can use to reduce crime rates in M'sia XD

Buy this, the ultimate nikon night shooter for USD8,999

Ouch! haha XD
I was wondering when will we have a newer, Nikon equivalent to the Canon's F1.2 L lens haha... not that I can afford one anyways

Afternoon spam~
Took this shot earlier this CNY when I don't even know how to use my flash haha XD
Re-edit it, turned out better liao

Very soon, they just filed a bunch of patents for 50, 58 and 60(I think) F/1.2 lenses what. But don't expect them to be any cheaper lah. Prolly 4-5K starting price even for the cheapest one.

Nice shot lehh, but I think maybe the skin too orange d?

what is the original photo like.... im just starting to learn flash photog.... got few questions

1. if use ext flash normally where to point the flash? (up, left, etc.) <--- havent play with ext flash before
2. normally what white balance to put (flash?)?
3. at what power to set e.g. like your posted photo

hope everyone can teach me...

Normally straight up will do, you can tilt to left and right to change the direction of the "fall" of light, or look for big white wall to "bounce" from.

White balance I go auto, but when you're in a room with tungsten or green lights, be prepared for alot of in PP later because you get different groups of color in wide shots.

See this, front group is white light (flash) while back group is yellow light (ambient).



Power,zoom etc is dependant on your camera settings and also how you use the flash. Ceiling height also a factor.
But for newcomer just use auto ITTL and fire lah. Adjust EV if necessary

hehe going to animangaki event soon... maybe wanna invest in ext flash e.g. SB-700 but no $$

Buy 3rd party one lah, 565EX RM400+ only, power is comparable to a SB900/910 which costs more than 3 times more.
