Both cheap and moderately expensive filters also got, the JYC PRO1-D I mentioned above is one of the latter.

And no I'm not a sifu, I'm just a hobbyist saja~

The glass supplier for the JYC's PRO1D model is Hoya also. Used for two years+ on my 17-50, did several comparisons with another guy's 17-50 with a B+W filter and another expensive brand which I forgot d, can't find any difference, neither sharpness nor flare.

Found this bayonet hood for the Nikon 1 10-30mm lens for just 9 bucks shipped from china

Shipping took 2 months but boy does the hood make the camera look cool.

Nope, internal focusing babeh~

With a Nikkor 24-70 F/2.8

New sigma lens!!

No money lol, buy FX body also susah giler.

Aiming higher this time, D800 lai

Dissapointed with nikon, refresh flawed camera with next to no upgrades, just fixes.
If not because I'm so aquainted with nikon's ergonomics and colors, I already follow Silverfire jump also liao.

You sponser right?

HAHAHA! The camera would probably be worth peanuts amidst cameras with 100-200megapixels

Not sure wor, haven't compared with HOYA filters at all

Sad that I sold mine along with the 17-50, can't find anymore stock locally also
Even ordering from china also have to pay 30bucks apiece

Plenty of points, handling is already a major one
A mirrorless to me is more of a casual cam than a serious one la, full frame or not.

D700 if I can find one in good condition lo

If only I could shoot an entire wedding on a tripod

Different use case la, I can understand that

ni second version of silrave dah

The rubber is expanding because nikon uses softer rubber compared to other brands, hence the ease of which the rubber absorbing oils and moisture from your hands, causing the expansion.

Replacing the rubber parts is easy la. especially the thumb and hand grip parts, can DIY also if you order the parts from ebay. But the port doors will have to send into nikon d because of the partial dismantling of the body required to get to the hinges.

loooooool, me leh, I got lens but no body

Yes it'll be better, but definitely not worth the asking price

Hmm, announcement is out, according to nikon's specs it really does seem to carry NOCT characteristics.

Both the price and the specialized night shooting characteristics put this lens very well into specialized territory, unless you're a working pro who really needs the "nonexistant saggital coma flare or vignetting" as claimed by Nikon, and willing to pay over RM5000+ for it.

Considering sigma is going to refresh their 50mm 1.4 anyway, might as well take that instead. Even the current version is much more worth it than nikon's own 50mm 1.4G.

Fuiyoh, very nice!

No, the difference is that Nikon screws the people who buys expensive prosumer models, while Canon does so with the 5XX-7XX D range which is consumer range.

Nikon used to be very innovative, keeping their innovations and upgrades for higher end products and slowly passing them onto cheaper models. But this time we're seeing a D600 refresh just to fix the oil problem while the newly launched D5300 actually has a whole list of proper upgrades. (Wifi, GPS, bigger screen, non-AA filter sensor)

I still prefer nikon's products due to the ergonomics, but I have lost all respect for the company behind these things.

Later nikon launches the D3300 with 20FPS shutter and 200shot buffer, see you butthurt anot that time.
