shot wif nikon. lol.

after very long time...only able to continue the "dot-tune" for all my prime lens.

the adjustment seem very huge

nikon 50mm f1.8g --> -6
nikon 85mm f1.8g --> -10
tamron sp90 f2.8 --> +18

testing the result using newspaper and it seem working fine.

if there's another lens i'd like to add, it's either the 85mm 1.8g or the 70-200 f2.8 tamron macro.
Which is a better choice?

Both different types of lens, do you need the 200mm reach? If yes then its the 70200. If not you just want the big aperture and 85mm range is ok then go for the prime.

Macro shots for today

Thinking of adding another lens for my D90.Standard zoom f/2.8

Does the 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED seem a good choice or do I have to wait for people to scream 24-70mm f/2.8 (Which I can use for FX if I so desire to jump) at my face again?

cheaper go tamron 17-50.
but 17-55 is good if u got the money, used around rm3k.

buy for the now...maybe later u dont go FX? maybe go Fuji?

no amoi le... sadddloorrrr

if u want the 17-55 range, get the tamron 17-50 or the sigma 17-50. they perform almost as good just that some tamron has af back/front focus. and some siggy has it's OS problem. else get the tamron 24-70 VC.

no chance snap amoi. >.<

power

nice macro as usual, your 2nd and 3rd shots reminded me my own shots haha, so identical.

Thanks mate!
Hey are right haha, they are really similar, even the species are the same!

Oh well... great minds think alike

Hi guys,

My friend's D300 screens are blank and no light when try to turn on.
Tried with 2 charged batteries and also performed the 2 green button reset.
What else could be the issue?

To all photo kaki here!! Please help me with my questionnaire

The Viewfinder Questionnaire

Here's a bug kowtowing as thanks

Try and do a search. A few years back, the choice was about equal in between the Tokina and Sigma. I believe picture quality and sharpness at wide open goes to Tokina but at f/8 apertures, everything becomes the same.

So for me, the 10mm and faster HSM motor was the deciding factor.

Before you perform this test, did you disable AF engagement for shutter half-press? Set the "AF Activation" option to "AF-ON only". For D600 it's option f4 if not wrong and since no dedicated button on D600 (and D7000) for AF-On, use the AE-L/AF-L button as the AF-ON button.

Also, for the test to be accurate, you need to make sure that your camera sensor is parallel to the newspaper or any intended object and also on the same plane.

For that you need something like LensAlign to correctly place the target and make the test more meaningful as you can manually set and determine the focal plane of the target to be parallel to the camera sensor plane.

200mm can also have big aperture. At f/2.0 lah.

Difficult question. But you can opt to buy the 17-55mm f/2.8 Nikon at 2nd hand prices and still sell them for a reasonable price should you decide to upgrade later on. Or you can get 3rd party lenses and sell later at lower prices should you decide to upgrade later.

The Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 is beautiful lens. It's a lot of money but I don't think it suites well on the DX crop. Yeah some say ok but to me, it's not wide enough. If you have wider lenses, then you can got for it but if you don't have wider lenses, then save the money and look elsewhere. It's not a limited edition lens. When you want to buy it later after upgrading to FX, it will always be available.

paiseh for asking, but why the 17-55 so crazily expensive arh? no IS no VR or whatever. canon equivalent is like 500-1k cheaper with IS.

Too bad the tree is there.. Should have brought a knife jk...
