from my experience, d7000 can use iso3200 indoors, just need to overexpose 1 stop to get a clean images...heheheheee

u may recover using software on certain area...

the rule is don't underexpose a high iso pics on DX camera...

Ya lo. Hand itchy want to try 35mm. 50mm seem not that sharp.  sad.gif

50mm 1.8G is very sharp wide open. smile.gif

1. Off focus- Not enough light to focus correctly.
2. Hand shake - Shuttle speed is too slow.

Don't blame the lens if cannot get sharp images, you need to improve your skill 1st. whistling.gif

I just wonder is it 35mm sharper than 50mm or not only. No other mean.

I see... tongue.gif

Referring to both (G lens)
35mm@f1.8 is as sharp as 50mm@f1.8, I don't think it's sharper. smile.gif

However u can use a slower shuttle speed on 35mm cause it's a wider lens.

but 50mm@f1.8 bokeh is much superior than 35mm@f1.8, this is because u get more area in focus in 35mm@f1.8.

@wkwong91, actually most lens will become sharper when you stop them down. Post-processing can also help with sharpening too laugh.gif The lenses you have are already quite sharp compared to kitlens  thumbup.gif
IMHO,
1 There is no need to sharpen images. doh.gif
2. U don't stop down because u cannot get sharp images. doh.gif

The reason to stop down:
U stop down because u want less light.
U stop down because u want more area in focus. (again, not sharper images!)
U stop down because u want slower shutter speed.

A good prime lens should be able to produce sharp images across all aperture. smile.gif

I would not consider 50mm f/1.8G as "very sharp"  laugh.gif
As I have said, 50mm 1.8G is very sharp. whistling.gif

If u cannot achieve that, then something must be wrong. hmm.gif

Because if the image is correctly in focus, then viewing in 100% size should be "tack sharp" already. biggrin.gif (prime lens lah laugh.gif )

However, in most situation may need to increase the contrast. tongue.gif

Another thing is..

I'm using kit lens 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 DX VR . And its hard to use low ISO and faster shutter speed. Usually I use around 100-320 ISO and shutter speed around 1/20-1/30sec to get a brighter image. I wondering is there any way i can increase my picture quality by using low ISO? been playing around alot  sweat.gif
