I did move the focus point. But still a bit blurish as compared to f2.2 OR using the center focus.. TT might be my shaky hands or something wrong with my skills.. lol only some photos, mostly is in focus..  cry.gif

finally figured out that I can use live view to manual focus with the zoom function for the large aperture lens..

and the contrast thing works like cham in focus! however can't recompose much because the depth of field is just too thin, how you guys work with f1.4 or even f1.2? lol @@
*
normally there is no need for that... you only do that on canons.... well those that i used anyways.. modern bodies should have pretty decent AF.. what body are you using again ?

still can't figure out how to calculate the 1,2,3 stops thingy.. haha
But I sure know f2.2 provide good sharpness and some bokeh..
D3200, yup my friend demo his canon 60D with this feature, and I was wondering can nikon do that? and it can, but not that great as compared to canon's.. just a nifty function, most I use the viewfinder anyway~  tongue.gif

nikon can lv focus.. but not as good or as useful as canons. dunno why nikon's very laggy not 'live' at all esp when u zoom in a lot.

Hi you guys, wanna get some of your opinions on which to buy first: 35mm f/2D or 24mm f/2.8d I can't fully decide. sweat.gif

I'll be using the lens on a film camera if that makes any difference.
*
I have 35mm f/2.0D on FE2 its plenty wide for me but I have not tried the 24mm ... so I'm biased towards the 35mm smile.gif

How was the condition of the lens? As mentioned or it came out better (or worse)?

I am also having the idea of buying used lenses from eBay as well. But there are bad feedback more than the good ones. Some say sellers are not honest with the condition of the lens, etc.

Plus, shipment is another issue that I am worried about. Lenses are made of glass elements. We are thinking left and right whether to get used lenses from local sellers using Poslaju. This time sellers from overseas. Very skeptical...

I have bought lens & camera off ebay. Always check for reputable sellers. check their history and comments from buyers. So far my experience is pretty good la. Only bad experience is from our local POS

That's one of the reasons I'm horrified  laugh.gif Never thought the sucker is shaped like a heart  rolleyes.gif

Some of the things in those album I've done before, but the difference in quality is far from it la, especially the level of magnification as well.

Wonder how many times lifesize he's working with, as well as the amount of photos needed to stack so that everything is in focus. 5X you're already barely getting anything in focus even at stupid small apertures.
*
hehehe... I think he said around 20x ? cant recall.. long time no yumcha with him after his BB born..

he has been shooting macro ever since I know him .. . . around 2007..

this series i like most... http://www.flickr.com/photos/alextkt/5483580993/
