I've been using PS for years, so I found out nothing is wrong with PS for RAW

Guys, very tempting with prime lens right now.

Nikon AF 50mm/1.8D vs Nikon AF-S 50mm/1.8G.

RM4XX vs RM7XX

Motor vs no motor.

For my D3200.

check here.. asus n550jv got ips o

get G.. sharper, faster, colour is nicer.

bt why not get 35mm 1.8G? (50mm on d3200 is quite hard to shoot really) 35mm is much better (what amduser had been telling me last time bt i still bought 50mm ended up selling away n got a 35mm)

if want more bokeh 85mm 1.8G la.

as for desktop,
am using i5 + 16gb ram.
go for 35mm 

not sharper arh? hmm.. nvm la. u got many gold ring.. 58mm go grab!

Thanks for ur 'campur tangan'...ur advise is welcomed and appreciated.  

asrul yeah, tried before, 35mm is more suitable for me. I thought the reason u recommend 35mm over 50mm is something related to quality...

Anyway, thanks u guys opinion, i adi changed my mind to 35mm instead.

The reason i want to get the prime lens is the small size and light weight, and also i more interested on street photography & capalang photo like jepertine90. So 50mm and 80mm (especially after consider crop factor) maybe not suit for me becos not portrait priority. Another reason is current kitlens the more i zoom, the aperture will become smaller. So I have to always use flash gun for that especially for indoor and night shooting. I use 4pcs Panasonic 2050mAh AA rechargeable (from what i remember rechargeable is not that heavy last time, maybe due to high capacity) for My Nissin flashgun and the weight is 

Will try hunt for it. 

Any non-Nikon prime lens to recommend?

PS: Is it 'dangerous' to buy lens from garage sales? Via postage...

Guys, here i want to share something regarding aperture size.

http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/great-high...performance.htm

Please refer to 'math refresher' there. Seems like the aperture size = FL/xx is true like what i mentioned last time. Just i can't figure out why zoom lens is darker at the zoom end. Becos based on the calculation, aperture diameter of 18mm f/3.5 is smaller than 55mm f/5.6...

sigma art lens 
nvm i start save money for ff first.. 

Then why 18/3.5 is brighter than 55/5.6 in fact the calculation show the reverse?

that's why got f-stop and t-stop..

Now I know how much I need to prepare when I replace mine 

Never considered ordering them from china and DIY instead?

Yep, you can actually order the whole set off of ebay, but the hand grip part can't be done on your own tho. Since the body needs to be partially dismantled to loosen it.

The thumb grip, bottom and sides can la, since they're just stuck on.

About the glue, it's basically just double sided tape.
If it was cured glue, will be extremely difficult to take off 1, even for the technicians.

Here's a picture of the inside

I'm waiting for this to replace my 35mm F2D also 
Ooh, even better then, now I know I can fully replace the grip myself d 

The ones made by Nikon probably using a better type of tape that's UV activated then. Still doesn't prevent them from peeling off over time tho.
