USD1000 for 85mm lens is not too bad

Zeiss 85mm f1.4 oledi around USD1200...

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lomogr...l-portrait-lens

50% of the price is for the Zeiss logo

but compared to the Nikon one.. i feel the Zeiss IQ is better n the MF ring is much better...

hood oso metal yo~

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

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

that is a lomo lens it is suppose to be like that...

some ppl like lomography.. but i know some ppl who won't touch it too

but i guess with a lomo lens on a DSLR, u can see the shot immediately... no need wait until the film is processed

Weekend spam... something holy tonite

don forget there is still the 70-200 f4 ya...

Anyone got USD82700 to spare?

This ‘Complete Set’ of Nikon DSLR Gear Will Only Set You Back $82,700

Want a “complete set” of Nikon DSLR equipment without having to buy each of the lenses individually? The Japanese camera shop Map Camera is offering a sale on a massive Nikon kit containing a Nikon D4 and 20 different Nikkor N lenses. All you need is $82,700.

According to the helpful robotic minds at Google Translate, the name of the package is the “Nikon Chivalrous Nanocrystals Complete Set.” That seems a bit strange, so we’re guessing the name makes a little more sense than that in Japanese.



Here’s the full list of items included in the set:

Nikon Rumors did some number crunching, and calculated that this full set would have a retail value of $89,800 in the United States. Map Camera is selling the kit for ¥8,000,000, or roughly $82,744.

What’s interesting is that more than 60% of the kit’s value is due to just 6 lenses in the kit: the $17,900 800mm f/5.6, the $9,800 600mm f/4, the $8,400 500mm f/4, the $9,000 400mm f/2.8, the $5,800 300mm f/2.8, and the $5,800 200mm f/2. Those six lenses cost nearly $60,000 by themselves!

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..

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...

Chai Leng Park Wak Sek Kai looo.. most famous...

the Lok Lok (1st stall) is quite famous..

Use plastic bags to wrap up ur stuff b4 putting it into the bag? that is what i do.. it is easy to find, carry n dispose

if the bag material is waterproof, always check if the zips are waterproof... got cover lagi best...

happy weekend everyone

depends

D800 has a 91,000 pixel RGB metering sensor (same like D4)

both D600 n D7100 has the same 2,016-pixel RGB sensor

u get wut u pay for...

i think u r spot on measure the correct exposure... in terms of brightness and color...

one takes 2016 samples while the other takes 91000 samples... so the more sample the more accurate the average?

possible...

my 72mm UV filters are 2xx

i think that is only one of the improvements..

D7100 metering TTL 3D Color Matrix Metering II
D800 TTL 3D Color Matrix Metering III

higher number means newer/better generation no?

digitalfm or fotokem price cheaper?

fotokem have to pay the 3% oso... they just include in their selling price.. n tell us BS no extra charge

u need to shoot wit the 1xx n 2xx UV filter... compare it, then u will see... for my case, the color is richer (as compared to the 1xx filter, no filter of coz da best)

that said, i shoot with 1xx filters b4, and i am still satisfied with the result then...

but since my optics cost a few K each... i wan the best...

please forgive me if i sound like bragging, but if u buy a BMW, will u go with a cheapo mirror tint?

chinese saying "oledi buy the cow, why don buy the cow string oso"

no UV filter lagi best la.. but i don print money so i have to put protection

wutever u do, don go for those RM50 filters plz
