Should have called it D600s and Nikon will not get as many sticks as now On the other hand, the Carl Zeiss Distagon 55mm f1.4 lens (OTUS) is announced... Diglloyd says 'The rewarding thing about the 55/1.4 APO-Distagon is that the visual impact is first and foremost about the transparency and three-dimensionality. The resolving power is a sense a bonus effect for those with high-res camera.' And more importantly 'You really, really, really want this lens more than any lens you ever lusted over.'

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Oct 9 2013, 01:47 PM) Yes, I saw the Zeiss announcement on email. I told myself yes given the modern glass treatment on the Zeiss etc, with the kind of money they are asking for it, I might as well go for the Nikon Noct 58mm f/1.2. seriously? why? |

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Oct 11 2013, 02:16 PM) No, the lens is not just about bokeh. If you think it's all about bokeh, then you're sorely misinformed about it's capabilities. It's about how the lens renders images in low light when it's designed primarily for wide open performance. They don't call the lens NOCT (as in NOCTurnal) for nothing. Some write up. http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardw...mnotcnikkor.htmhttp://www.momentcorp.com/review/nikon_noct-nikkor_58mm.htmlusd 7000 for a lens that have CA? no thanks. hahaa perhaps you have tested it before and love it but i would prefer the otus |

QUOTE(gunzerdude @ Oct 14 2013, 10:54 PM) 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. is there still a point in getting the d800 if the sony A7 and A7r rumour is real? |

QUOTE(gunzerdude @ Oct 15 2013, 11:41 AM) 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. to me there is no point edi hahaa 99% of my works are done on the tripod. smaller but equally powerful camera makes sense to me. it is all about the lenses. the EVF is supposed to be as good as the EM-1, according the the rumour. so i really don't see the point in getting a d800e edi. |

QUOTE(GreenJellyBean @ Oct 22 2013, 11:09 AM) Hi guys, i am tempted to buy used manual focus lens (AI-s) lens off ebay as the price is tempting. Anyone using those lens in your shoot? some of them are good and some of them are not so good... which one are you looking at? |

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Oct 21 2013, 10:37 PM) Till now, nobody is trumping the D800 yet. So the D800/D800E is still king. It took a lot of people by surprise when Nikon came out with such a huge MP FF sensor on a normal DSLR body. It's not just medium format size output with garbage quality. Quality that rivals medium format and excels in dynamic range and noise at higher ISOs especially when paired with good glass and when focus is spot on. That's why I can never fathom buying a manual focus Zeiss. What's the point of having the best glass when most of the time you're trying to get it focused ? f/1.4 is bloody thin. this only applies to those who have the luxury of time. live view + manual focus. you will be surprise that it is more accurate than autofocus |

QUOTE(ClericKilla @ Oct 29 2013, 10:07 PM) cant change prism* Aha if they are designing a retro camera uses only for photo and cannot shoot video. They might as well design can change prism. Zeiss used with split prism will bring back all the film like feel experience. lol focusing screen, not prism |

QUOTE(f5calvin @ Oct 30 2013, 09:36 PM) lol u too excited d.. btw midvalley sensor cleaning need to bring warranty? my warranty at hometown leh now in kl how to take la dont have to. just pass them the camera and write down your contacts and stuffs. they will give you a numbered tag and inform you to come back and collect in an approximate time... that's what happened previously unless they changed management, i think they will still stick to this |
