haha if want super sharp quality, go get the Zeiss Otus, that thing is crazy, even won some Medium Format lenses.

but price wise, more than rm10k

Wait guys...The 35mm f/1.8G lens don have manual aperture ring, means it is impossible to reverse lens if i want to play macro?

Can, but you need to do some 'magic' hehe. You need to block the aperture lever with something like cotton bud. Bro [PF] T.J. did posted about the trick before. But it's a hassle anyway. I'll just get a raynox

Hmm... Nikon lenses' aperture is controlled by the tiny clip thingy right? If yes, is it possible to use DOF preview and remove the lens like Canon?

Can consider 35 f2d too, compatible on FF as well

Btw, any flash bracket can recommend me? For macro use, I'm using a single YongNuo YN-560ii

Just replaced 3 of my D700 rubber grip, RM230 total damage

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

Never considered ordering them from china and DIY instead?

China sells them? Friend told me the glue is actually UV cured... not sure if I could do that myself?

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

Better wait for the rumored 35/1.8 for FF... Probably will be announced in January 2014... Can be use on DX & FF

The hand grip actually no need open up, the screw access from the battery bay as I watched the video before . Didn't know can buy direct else I would DIY lol. Well my friend said he saw them shining UV wor.

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.

Well, my D700 went through the rain a few times before... so... hmm... where else my D800 is still a pretty good haven't went under the rain much haha!

Rain will loosen the adhesive meh?

Aren't these things supposed to be weatherproof?

Don't know, but I think it would? LOL, and sweat too.

Probably not gua, but sweat and moisture does make the rubber expand la, which is part of the reason for it to peel.

it's worse when it absorbs your sweat and get smelly, so embarrassing when you hand in your camera to others to preview shot.
