Anyone have experience with Yongnuo YN568EX for nikon? I plan to get one if the feedback is positive.
*
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

Hey guys, facing a huge serious problem here. I got my new camera D7100, and i like the camera so much!

But then, the RAW file is not able to open on Photoshop CS6. It says the version is not up-to-date to the latest version. So how? Anyone please help?

It's not too expensive leh, used to be about 80 bucks, but I got mine for 59 at Viewnet shop in Lowyat Plaza.

Needed this since my cable would snag now and then, really irritating sometimes sweat.gif

Thinking of purchasing a Tamron 24-70mm f2.8... Nikon one too expensive for me unless got good condition 2nd hand one... whistling.gif  cool.gif  But have to fund first cry.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

I know what you mean bro, I tie my wires up using rubber bands... not exactly a pleasing sight  sweat.gif
*
I did consider the Roccat version, but too bad is USB 2.0 not 3. Silverfire has it though, saw it when I was at his place last time brows.gif

Summore less lights better, I already have too much coming from my keyboard and desktop doh.gif

+1!
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

5 Reasons why Primes are better than Zooms
*Sorry, forgot how to attach video already doh.gif

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.

If you chase two rabbits, you loose them both. smile.gif

We have already seen what Agito999 sifu uses- his desktop with super fast startup time haha~ Not sure about the others XD

I understand what you mean XD I very seldom use my keyboard lights also

His comp gila lah, 4 or 5 TB space. Non of them backed up summore. yawn.gif

I just added an SSD to my rig at the start of the year, now even my hybrid SSD ultrabook feels sluggish. shakehead.gif

More lights I don't mind actually, IF they can be turned off. Very distracting since sometime I need to torrent at night while I sleep. sweat.gif

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

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

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
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
No rush, take it slow and slowly save money (and your back) XD
Love the 2nd shot, really got holy feel  rclxms.gif

Lols, last time my desktop facing my bed directly, rig light+keyboard light+modem light+speaker light confirm noneed sleep laugh.gif . Summore the ram lights actually pulse instead of being constant. icon_question.gif

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

True, I tried using D4 + 200mm F2G combo handheld, cannot tahan at all even for a minute, too front heavy. rclxub.gif

hahaha, don't say the D4, I use my D7000 for awhile d. Then hold the D5100 in Nikon TS, feels like a toy, so cute wub.gif

200mm is different thing. that is a dumbbell.
lol! my experience is my d5100 with 1750 tammy VC and flash on top.. shot whole day..finally took the 50 1.8 n went around.like point n shoot.
*
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

No bro, the problem is, i don't know why i can't update the software, there should be in the bar "Helps" then "Updates". But the "Updates" doesn't allow me to press on.

There is a separate update program, called adobe update something. You'll have to use it to update your raw file database

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

Great photo man, looked through your Flickr, your shots damn pro man  thumbup.gif

Ahh, can't wait for Nikon to come out with a good mirrorless system. That will solve all my back problems haha  laugh.gif
How come Nikon is pretty much the only one still sticking to glossy and "trendy" looking designs for its mirrorless systems?  sad.gif
*
Thanks man, saw your comments and replied some oh them as well. thumbup.gif
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.
It's like giving you a Ferrari with only 2 wheels doh.gif
