QUOTE(QiAnG @ Apr 6 2014, 09:54 PM) I was using focus and recompose using the middle point, everytime I focus on the eye and refocuses the focus of the final image switch to other spot. So just a general idea of how the lens perform, sorry for my lousy focused photos, haha Then you should really check your lens whether got any back/front focus issue. Put on tripod and focus on a ruler or some focus chart, or you can even line up AA batteries just for simple testing (at f/1.4 close focus you will notice it immediately and easily, even direct focus on something). Focus on the subject, take a shot, then turn on LiveView mode and focus and take a shot - compare both shots at higher magnification.

Tried d, no back or front focus issues, just happens everytime I refocuses my shots. Will try to use 3d tracking or just manually set my focus points the next time I shoot people again

QUOTE(wkwong91 @ Apr 7 2014, 03:08 PM) QiAnGHow is the Tokina 12-24 f/4? Hmmmm, it's the first and only ultra wide i'd owned, don't think I can comment much on it, nor have I anything to compare it to. But overall quite nice for the price la, center of the frame mostly sharp across all aperture at wider angles, corner quite sharp already once stopped down to f8 or f11. The only thing I don't like about its color, not really sure how to put it, it's green is rather strange. AF-MF clutch is a bit annoying too. You can see the pictures I took with it in my flickr, most of them hdr though https://www.flickr.com/photos/qiang92/

I don't really like to accept requests from people I don't know: lesson learnt already, last time many macro shooters just added me to tag me every day on their photos  Thanks, that's encouraging. Still needs lots of lots of improvement though, work hard shoot hard~ It's ok, understand your feeling, luckily I don't have that many photographers friends.

The local guy told us best time to shoot Mount K is the morning, as cloud might cover it later in the day.
