Not worth going at the moment since most of the orchids/hibiscus are not blooming, probably because of the recent hot and dry climates.
Definitely a place to visit when the flowers are blooming, I remembered it was spectacular!

Used a 565EX for a year, build quality is awesome, definitely comparable to the Canon 580EXII which the design is "inspired" from.
One thing to note is that you cannot lock the position of the head, a positive or negative depending the person using it.

Yeah, that was what I thought when I sold my 50 1.8G as funding for my Tamron 17-50. But bloody hell I regret because no more bokehlicious photo.
Planning to get the 18-35 F1.8 and then 50 1.8G before end of this year if possible. rclxm9.gif

if i were you i will get 35mm instead of 50mm, then you got the 17-55 2.8 right? that lens also good what got VR and constant aperture, you only lose 1 stop of light while your ISO and VR + slow shutter speed can compensate with that

nikon club malaysia told me that they have outing to cater for the users but surprisingly, the kl users couldn't be bothered about it. i think they rather spend time online talking gears or lepak in a shopping centre or lepak in a car getting stuck in a traffic jam.

whereas for other states like kedah, terengganu and kelantan and even penang, the crowd could be overwhelming at times...

do check out nikon club malaysia's website. they organise workshops and outing frequently

Both have their own perks. You have to try it out yourself to know for sure.

In terms of handling and feel however, 5DM3 win hands down against the 6D regardless of technical performance.

Uhhh, Lowyat Plaza or Mid Valley considered Klang Valley? laugh.gif

Lowyat Plaza a lot shops there, 1 cannot try then go another. Mid Valley you can try Key Color. Its nearby Amarin and Pasta Zanmai. Times Square got Nikon Centre, you can try whatever you want there (D4, D800 drool.gif).

Putting controls and accessibility aside, the biggest difference is the AF capability. The 6D is -1EV better while the D600 has arguable better ISO performance(dynamic range and all that).

Ler...melaka to KL not that far also, should have send it yourself. I last time from ipoh drop by KL just to send my lens for service laugh.gif

You can check using the serial number as well, and then you ask for the service order from there. But might be complicated if the person sent in with his name instead of yours :s.

Hey nikon users, I've got a question (and malas to open new thread). My D80 pernah jatuh once, and the top lcd is not working anymore. Do you know how much is it to repair it ? And how much I can sell off the camera ? I'll update with the shutter count later.

well, there is also the all metal feel when u caress it drool.gif

ya.. even for me it was quite hard to justify paying more for less, especially missing an important feature in today's lenses

No AF shouldn't be too much of a problem right for portraits? But I guess eventually will get tired of manually focusing every shot haha
At the price range it sure is pretty tempting~

Manual focusing on portraits with prime lenses actually quite fun tongue.gif kinda makes you feel more involved in the whole process and enjoy the shooting. but of course, if your subject can wait.

When your model gets comfortable and starts posing faster, getting the shot slow may spoil model's momentum.

yaya, thats why i say the model also important. but if condition approves, i always shoot in MF, sometimes for me AF feels like too easy, spending time focusing and compose nicely compared to relying on AF shoot quickly just doesn't feel the same.

Well, I don't enjoy manual focusing tongue.gif plus my eyes aren't as accurate as the AF especially on f/1.4 glass. Even if I AF, I would be using the indicator instead.

i figured out one thing, if we tie up the flash gun at car number plate, put it in slave mode (in nissin is called digital TTL slave i dno bout others), then when AES fire flash, this flash will oso fire. so cant see our number plate d mah cz overexposed..lol! sweat.gif

Just hope the flash don't get hit by stone... probably break or chip it at the speed you will be travelling at :S Then again, that is provided the AES flash is strong enough, under daylight not so easy to trigger them.

your flash will get stolen in no time

and how do you mount it? the vibration from the car can probably kill the flash

best method is to install a retractable cover that can cover your number plate when you approach AES, and you can trigger the cover by manually pressing a switch inside the car, so far i dont see anyone offer this kind of service and no one did this

best way to avoid AES is dont use that particular road or just driver slower la

you can just spray black paint to the lens then it wont function anymore, but make sure that is no other CCTV monitoring the AES when you do it

not shoot through..i mean the flash will hit the reflector, then reflector reflects light back to the subject.

i did that before, it take a lot of trying to get the angle of reflection right, and of course you need more power to bounce it off the reflector (silver/gold side), IMO it is good if you want to reduce the area the flash hit but depends on your reflector shape and size i guess

Depends on the area of coverage, a speedlight is still a speedlight. Its not a studio flash nod.gif

My pics at Sepang some clear and some blur... some is due to the heat on the ground where else some is due to diffraction! From now on need remember the magic number,

f/16 for 12MP FX, f/9 for 36MP FX!

Since my 36MP after DX mode is about 16MP, so D7000 owners should be using the same limit, f/9. source:http://www.borutfurlan.com/articles/nikon_d800_en_4.html

Well if based on the formula, yes f/12 is the limit for D600 before diffraction starts to kick in.

Maybe can consider selling off your D3200 and the DX lenses to fund for a FX lens? Imho it is abit wasteful for not being able to bring the out full potential of your D600 hmm.gif
The D3200 can be replaced with an APS-C mirrorless camera which is much more portable and performs almost similarly brows.gif

Start with primes first maybe? Cheaper to boot, since a 24-70 is roughly equal (in price) that of a 35mm 1.4A Sigma + 50 1.8G Nikkor + 85 1.8G Nikkor. Plus you can get them in stages to boot thumbup.gif

Ahh, RM59 is pretty cheap hehe, in that case its worth it laugh.gif
I remembered seeing those from Roccat and Razer, expensive like hell man LOL.. all that just for some lights, wire managing and extra USB2.0 ports hmm.gif

pro3363 Go with primes first. They are much lighter and comfortable to use, not to mention extra bokeh lol~
And they also force you to compose better before you shoot, recommended if you want to push your skills further happy.gif

The only downside is that you need to switch lenses often, especially if you are shooting everything. Might miss important shots

I think it's better to focus on what the prime is able to capture and then utilize that capability to the max instead of worrying about missing other shots because you didn't have the right focal length.

You are right on that one haha..
I was just referring to the time needed to switch lens, say 35mm to 85mm, which will take time, especially for spontaneous shots hmm.gif
Which makes me wonder, are there any records for "fastest lens changing"? laugh.gif laugh.gif Sure interesting XD

i'm not using SSD, too expensive for me

still staying with my desktop running on core i5, 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD + 500GB 2.5" 5400RPM laptop HDD, GTX 560Ti, and of course my 31" LCD TV

Laptop is Sager NP8662, 500GB HDD, laptop running 24/7 for torrenting and download

desktop mainly for gaming, video and pictures viewing/editing

Wah, you have some serious rigs man LOL notworthy.gif
No worries, you could always throw in an SSD when budget allows. The performance gained is really phenomenal, try to believe brows.gif

Hehe, actually I can already do that with my ultrabook but sometimes I'm just lazy  brows.gif

I'm looking to get sigma's 18-35 myself since no budget to go FF for now  sweat.gif

Woah.... I don't know much about desktops, but looks really powerful haha
Your "lights" = different level already haha... I thought you were referring to normal keyboard backlits tongue.gif
After using FF for some time, I think its better to have a mirrorless for not-so-important-stuffs haha... back pain like hell tongue.gif

Ive watched that video too... Actually both 24-70 and 50 prime are on my list... But i plan to go for 24-70 first...

why not u get the 35 f2? or the 35 1.8G? since 24-70 is like 5-6k ..

Well, like they say, once you go SSD, there is no turning back  brows.gif
Buy cheap netbook for torrenting, save electricity, no lights, eco "friendly"  laugh.gif
I have a 24-70 and a 50 F1.8.
Although the 24-70 is a really good lens, it sure is heavy haha. Don't say I no warn you  tongue.gif
When you already have the 24-70, then there's no real need for the 50 F1.8 already, better use that money for a 85mm F1.8 instead brows.gif

haha laz time i tried D700+70200.. omg is heavy n my wrist is not strong.. anything attached to 70200 is heavy la. i find d700 with 2470 still fine..not too heavy if u shooting few hours..unless u bring for travel, neck break, wrist break, shoulder sore. haha

Yeah, seriously heavy man, feels like I can snap my wrist off with the thing even with a D4 as counterbalance. rclxub.gif

My rig not so different also last time. Also D5100+17-50(non vc)+flash. The small grip makes it really difficult to hold the camera for long periods of time. doh.gif

Nowadays I just use this for casual shooting. laugh.gif

Wah, D600 and D7100 different league bro. The former is 2x the price of the latter laugh.gif

But to be honest I'm really tempted by the -2ev AF capability on the D7100 also whistling.gif

How is it working so far? Can af in very dark places?

Yeap, when i first saw the outcome, i was like freaking shock! Never imagine how can it be so nice without any post production (of course with amazing lens, Samyang 85mm).

I am not too sure, i use manual focus all the time, but with my Sigma 50mm, it works even 1x or 2x faster than on my D90 body. So i guess the autofocusing system in D7100 is like one or two time better than D90?

Got that much faster meh? I thought usually AF speed is lens dependant. At least that's my experience la biggrin.gif

That's sad, me wants to try the sensitivity but Nikon TS is always too well lit. Bummer shakehead.gif

Wow, samyang 85, I tried my boss's cine style samyang 85 (with gears for focus and aperture) and it's really difficult to nail focus. rclxub.gif

From my experience on Sigma 50mm, it works pretty fast on my D90, its like 0.5 sec average focusing speed. But the same lens it works even faster than on D7100, i am not sure why, cos i never study the technical part and how the latest focusing system works, but i can tell is the cross focusing point do play an important role on focusing, and more accurate. That's my hand-on experience lah.

Your photos are all damn awesome too, I jelly your D800 brows.gif

Nikon mirrorless is actually okay la, my V1 feels rugged enough, no glossy surfaces. Added a stick-on grip to improve the handling though rolleyes.gif

One thing I hate about the V1 is the obvious amount of power under the hood, yet for some reason nikon choose to cacatkan the camera to such an extent.

There's still so much that I don't know lei doh.gif

Just Googled the Nikon 1 V1, its pretty expensive when compared to other rivals... But I really love the design  wub.gif
I hope Nikon will put a larger sensor into its mirrorless cameras so I noneed to wait already  laugh.gif

It's just RM999 atm only brows.gif I bought mine at 1129 when they announced a massive price drop from 2700++ rclxm9.gif

The sensor size is fine for me la, since it means that the lenses can be really compact. Results look good too, nothing I find lacking when used properly.

My gf wants the NEX F3 thou because of the reversible screen, I see your gf has it too. drool.gif

heavy LOLOLOLOL... same here last time i used to complain DSLR is heavy... now looking back doh.gif now D700 w/ BG + 24-70 or 70-300 like  whistling.gif

Yeah, for <1K it's a steal. brows.gif The V2 is better but still not worth the price tag, expecting another massive price drop when the V3 arrives.
That's great to hear, should be good to go for my gf to get the camera then biggrin.gif

Yeah, since the BG is made of metal also for original ones. doh.gif

But the D600 is for manageable for sure, very similiar to a D7000/7100 in terms of weight yet still retaining that huge sensor+mirror brows.gif

Yikes shocking.gif , good thing I have small hands then biggrin.gif, a D7100/7000/600 body feels just right in my hands, even better if got BG since my pinky got place too. Anything above those seems a lil too chunky, feels like I'm holding a rubber brick laugh.gif

Nope, fully electronic as in there is no mechanical links between the body and the lens. Similiar to canon's mount where AF and Aperture are controlled from within the lens rather than external mechanical levers or screw drives.

But next time can try longer exposure lah, let the sky and the water blur naturally in the same way. Should be better?

A quick search showed that most are around RM1.1k hmm.gif
Those cheaper than RM1k already sold sad.gif

Can consider getting a 50mm F1.8 first lol... with a FX there is no crop factor already, should be much easier for normal use laugh.gif

Yeah you are not wrong haha, but it seemed like Pro3363 might be short on budget at the moment ma lol tongue.gif
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 laugh.gif
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 tongue.gif tongue.gif )

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.

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.

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 brows.gif

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

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.

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.

http://davidduchemin.com/2008/12/pimping-the-r-strap/

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.

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.

I saw videos of people testing out the strength of the tripod mount by using it to pull a truck, swinging it around and around with lens attached etc.

Pretty sure that normal use won't put as much stress on the mount gua.

Then again I'm using Optech strap with the sling attachment on the original strap lugs also biggrin.gif

Yes, I think Optech one is cheaper and more importantly if you want a system that uses the original strap eyelet. Cotton Carrier for me looks a little weird with the camera hanging on the chest.

Forgot to mention another brand which is Carry Speed. Some say it's a knock off from BlackRapid but I must say a very good knock off with some great innovations added. I like that they provide an arca swiss plate with a swivel ball connector which distributes the force / weight instead of hanging directly from the screwed tripod mount. It also gives you convenience of mounting the camera on a tripod / monopod as the ball connector can be folded to one side.

Also, I like the fact that there is an option for long lens attachment. The main plate goes onto the lens foot while a secondary connection goes to the tripod mount on the camera body.

Your camera with the ball connector plate can also be made to hook onto the Spider holster if required.

Or there could be some PS presets where you just click the Action and everything will be edited automatically. I also can't get such tones in LR too, but with PS I can achieve something more similar.

i dont know much photoshop preset...
but i do know lightroom preset = vsco film pack
just click and there you go
it for simulating film (kodak,fuji etc), i do have it, but rarely use it

edit: lightroom is oso photoshop tongue.gif

eh eh eh you can't really say lightroom is also photoshop, but you can say photoshop is also lightroom.

lightroom is more like a simplified version of photoshop or adobe camera raw (not really sure), but photoshop contains a lot more functions than lightroom.

Settings by Calvin Kohlz, on Flickr

i just adjusted the Curves of RGB..kill the shadows..
then increased green's hue a little, decrease saturation n luminousity of green a little..
No split toning done..

VSCO presets i found(those that are free) sucks a lot..each photo each lighting really needs different twitching. so in the end, i tried it without those presets still in vain..

Mine is VC version lehh, brows.gif but I used the old one before it got stolen la.

The old one is fine la, just that the extending tube is seriously annoying when doing macro. Both new and old versions are crazy sharp even wide open.
Btw new one the USD motor is fast enough for sports tracking also thumbup.gif

ya, but if you're carrying with mounted 70-200, at least when you walk its not irritating with the body + lens banging around on your body tongue.gif
Give me a 70-200 and I'll give a go. biggrin.gif

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jul 31 2013, 05:45 PM)
the new one never tried.
if the older one, i much prefer the nikon macro ones...either 40mm or 60mm.
I actually have the older Tamron 90mm f/2.5 (not f/2.8) 52EN lens. It's not 1:1 macro. Only 1:2. Very smooth buttery bokeh.

QUOTE(celciuz @ Jul 31 2013, 09:11 PM)
Seems like my choice would be the Optech, only complain about it is the clip ._. a bit paranoid about it.
Best is Carry Speed's 3 button snap clip. Else, get this accessory from Optech or mod yourself a velcro to secure the clip.

Saw that option too, overpriced velcro tongue.gif Only reason why I'm looking at alternative way to mount the Black Rapid is because the Black Rapid dual harness can detach and use each strap individually! The Optech can't but I saw the video can sling to each side instead so...hmm

this is what i summary in between lightroom, photo elements and photoshop

lightroom - photo organizer with light editing
photoshop - powerfull and purely photo editing

Yeah, that would work fine. Some people use zip tie but that would mean that difficult to detach in the field without physically cutting it.

Well, I guess it is more prominent in people who takes superb macro shots that like you sifu haha XD XD Sure took a lot of effort and patience notworthy.gif

Anyway Nikon sifus I would like to ask you guys for some advice. I remembered asking this before in the previous thread but I am still kind of not really getting anywhere T___T

My question is how to take good (or at least decent) photos of people in the dark (no place to bounce flash and I don't have tripod/umbrella)? I remembered the sifus recommended applying the in-built bounce card on my SB700 and shoot at full power pointing upwards. The results were acceptable I guess, but still not very good (I'm not denying it might be my skills at fault here haha) so I've made a larger bounce card and developed a very weird way of shooting ever since @_@

For the time being I use a self-made big@ss bounce card I made specifically for my Bali trip tongue.gif
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

I'm probably doing it inappropriately, or it can be better (cause the bounce card only has a very limited spread of light) and I was wondering whether the kind sifus here can give some advice or suggestions? Does softboxes actually helped in this cases? hmm.gif

Thinking of going to iCity one day, never been there before, might need a proper flash technique there, especially around the light trees based on what I've seen from my friends' photos tongue.gif

Thanks in advance sifus notworthy.gif

Sigma has been coming up with a lot of new range of lens... 150-300 f/2.8 example... or the 18-35 f/1.8... not surprising if they could pull out with this 24-70 f/2!

It has to be pitch dark... not even lights from faraway buildings or highways...
Need to go to outskirts of town to be able to take a great shot of the milky way... and its usually quite dangerous in Malaysia haha, better to go in at least 4 or more. That's why I never had the chance to take shots like these sad.gif

Just read a scientific article saying that macro photographers can actually help with taxonomic work (describing new species of animals/insects) though their photos yo! Since these photographers will have a higher chance of seeing unique organisms through their photoshoots. Keep up the good work guys! thumbup.gif

I have no idea what that spider is sweat.gif

About the discovering new species stuff, amongst the best in malaysia is Kurt, his blog you can find here

He's an expert on macro as well as identifying species of bugs and other small critters like lizards. Recently he discovered a new species of insect that was featured in a science article somewhere cool2.gif

Myself, I just like to find new insects to add to my existing collection, FRIM is a really nice place, would drag Silverfire back sometime again brows.gif

Great link there mate! Thanks for sharing notworthy.gif notworthy.gif
Actually I am working on DNA technology which can be used to identify new species. The problem is I don't know which ones are new and which ones are "old" sweat.gif
I hope to pick up macro-photography as well in the future. Looks really fun, much easier to find subjects, and benefits my research laugh.gif

Nice shot by the way, I am really scared of worms shakehead.gif

gunzerdude hey man, just curious, does that kind of softbox allow proper flash shots on people at night? hmm.gif

A softbox focuses light, might not be a good idea to use it on people unless you bring it really close to them. Try a mini umbrella instead, since your focus is to make the light as soft as possible. A parabolic light-shaper will spread the light out as much as possible.

Here's an example of what that soft-box does

Yeah, an umbrella is more difficult to handle than a softbox outdoors, with the wind and all doh.gif

But to be honest, your vacation shots using flash is pretty nice already. Even lighting and nice shadow-transitions. Good job mate icon_rolleyes.gif

Definitely will need a "victim" to hold the umbrella haha, so not easy to use when I'm going out alone XD
Most of the night shots were slightly blurry since I have to shoot with the 24-70 with one hand only doh.gif a 35mm prime or VR would be of great benefit tongue.gif

So the fella paid the price with both his arms literally covered with mosquito bites at the end of the day doh.gif

I went to FRIM once about last few months ago, but didn't discovered a lot of special insects there, most of them are just ordinary ants. If you guys going to FRIM again, can I join?(although I am a Canon user, doesn't matter right? tongue.gif) I love macro photography too.

silverfire managed to do it, high iso+flash/no flash. Some shots came out really nice too. Salute him, never really thought of balancing ambient with flash throughout the 1 year+ I've invested into macro doh.gif

And yes, I'm somewhat into macro more than other genres, went from 50mm+extension tubes > Tamron 90mm (stolen) > Tamron 60mm > Tamron 90mm VC
Also have extension tubes, teleconverter, even tried DIYing my own macro flash diffuser until I bought my own Nissin MF18 ringflash icon_rolleyes.gif

You can always get extension tubes, meike has a set that retains autofocus and aperture control for RM250, which is what I have atm. Cheap solution compared to a dedicated lens, gives great results too. thumbup.gif

P.S. If I do find a leech I'll probably try and take a macro shot of the mouth, I know it's weird but that's just me brows.gif

I also tried to balance my macro shots with ambient + flash, most of the time I just dial my exposure compensation to -1 EV or soemthing, then use the bounce card on my flash to fill the subjects, most of the time the result is quite good.

Yeah, I should start experimenting with that, previously I only use iso 100-200 exclusively because I want to retain details for smaller subjects. sweat.gif

I use ISO 400 even if it's in daylight, because my aperture is around f8-f13, it's hard for me to achieve 1/100 - 1/200 of shutter speed sometimes.

I use ISO 400 even if it's in daylight, because my aperture is around f8-f13, it's hard for me to achieve 1/100 - 1/200 of shutter speed sometimes.

I'm usually working with number above that because of the teleconverter+extension tubes rclxub.gif

Then I just let the flash do the rest. laugh.gif

Which usually results in a black background unless it's adjacent to the subject.

Hmm... with teleconverter + extension tubes, at the same aperture, it will requires more light to come in to achieve the same exposure right?


yeah... but macro shots with totally dark background don't look that good imo, i prefer those who looks natural. Still can't figure out how to use tripod together with macro lenses, it will be really hard to carry around and adjust without scaring the insects away.

Well.... It depends on the shot really, some are better with a black background, some not so much.

Yes, working with attachments reduces light, with a teleconverter I can see F/64 on my cam if I stop all the way down, go figure if extension tubes are thrown in laugh.gif

I use a monopod occasionally. Much much better than tripods unless it's a stationary subject like a spider within it's nest.

Bro, with your lenses you can take good "macro" shots also ah.. use your 28-300 at nearest minimum focus range and then zoom in, then if its not enough, crop the photo since you have so many MP wub.gif

You can always get extension tubes, meike has a set that retains autofocus and aperture control for RM250, which is what I have atm. Cheap solution compared to a dedicated lens, gives great results too.  thumbup.gif

P.S. If I do find a leech I'll probably try and take a macro shot of the mouth, I know it's weird but that's just me  brows.gif

I think it depends on the monitor calibration, viewed this from my HTC phone, looks OK. Some of my friends also say the colour looks fake, some say the like it looks very nice. Those who said looks fake/bad I showed them the one before cross processing the colours, not sure if you'll like it though tongue.gif

I guess the 105 would make a good portrait lens on a full frame body la, since you can get closer. The 90mm on my crop frame is only so-so because of the framing, have to be furthur back = less bokeh doh.gif

105 micro can hardly match up to a 105 DC mate, since the micro stops down when you get close, while 105 retains it's bigger aperture at the same distance. icon_idea.gif

Yeah, many micro lenses are like that, just that most manufacturers don't mention the decrease in max aperture when upclose.
Don't have a proper lens for macro shots haha, sure must cheat brows.gif
But with a proper lens, the D800's high MP counts will make it an incredible macro-shooting machine

Yaya, that's what most of the reviews concluded as well, but 105 micro can do both macro and portraits haha, cannot resist that one laugh.gif

hehe i dare to do that with my canon 50mm f1.8, since the lens is really simply in construction, easy to clean too. but i really need to get a proper macro lens to further improve my photos, can't get the magnification i wanted.

Very attractive eyes, I love cats, but dunno where can I find  good-looking ones (apart from the two that keep on making prawns near my house which is too far away for me to photograph XD)
Eh, I though cat eyes are round in dark areas only?  tongue.gif

in dark area their eyes will be glowing, the roundness is depends on the breed of the cat

Thanks for the input sifu  notworthy.gif
Yeah, many micro lenses are like that, just that most manufacturers don't mention the decrease in max aperture when upclose.
Don't have a proper lens for macro shots haha, sure must cheat  brows.gif
But with a proper lens, the D800's high MP counts will make it an incredible macro-shooting machine

Yaya, that's what most of the reviews concluded as well, but 105 micro can do both macro and portraits haha, cannot resist that one  laugh.gif

Well, if it is as good as, if not better than the 18-105mm, it will be the next "gen" kitlens, provided its not too expensive as well tongue.gif tongue.gif (asking for alot)

Anyways, took this shot in UM basketball court a few months back biggrin.gif

The old one is fine la, just that the extending tube is seriously annoying when doing macro. Both new and old versions are crazy sharp even wide open.
Btw new one the USD motor is fast enough for sports tracking also  thumbup.gif

It's simply too expensive for a *kit lens*.
Canon has something similar for way less.
Nikon should instead concentrate on coming out with a 24-70 f/2 VR
Better start investing on getting that else they'll lag behind.

The 1850 is quoted by digitalsmania, but have to wait for them to order la, usually takes them just a couple days to get the lens in their store.

i still got my SB400.
all depends what is pointless tongue.gif
some ppl who dont use flash often, but have pro bodies, just want something small to carry around.
also the SB300 / 400 can be used on the Coolpix A...if you need bounce flash...and small enough so it doesnt look weird with a bigger flash on it tongue.gif

I see, thanks for the info thumbup.gif I wonder if it is worth the jump from 1900 (Tammy 90mm with VC) to 2990 (Micro Nikkor 105mm f2.8) simply for the better build quality. As regards the IQ, I think they both are pretty much the same right?

That comes down to your budget la, for me the VC=90% of the Nikkor except for the metal build quality so the 1000 bucks extra is better spent elsewhere brows.gif

Before the introduction of 18-105 kit there were 18-135 but no VR though, during the D80 days. Not sure how many of you know/remember tongue.gif. If this new 18-140 turns out to be new kit lens then its great. Hopefully the VR is better then current 18-105 but i suspect probably the same more or less.
