That's some good feedback there my friend, will definitely keep that in mind thumbup.gif as for the focusing speed, the slow would not be as slow as kit lens would it?
Cheers biggrin.gif

don't think it will be that slow haha. if not the autofocus is just bullshit for a 3k product tongue.gif

why 105 micro kenot reach f2.8?
*
not say kenot, but only at further focus distance. it's a nature of most macro lens, they tend to close down the aperture automatically as you focus closer and closer. something to do with the optical design i guess.

Only when doing macro. The loss of aperture at macro distances is how it is for internal focus lenses. You don't shoot f/2.8 for macro anyways. For normal shooting, the lens works fine at f/2.8.
Errr... if not wrong the Canon EF 100mm IS f/2.8L does 1:1 at f/2.8. Paiseh.  laugh.gif
It's actually about f/4.8. Oh, VR also does not work especially at 1:1 macro work. Shake is too amplified at this magnification to be compensated by the VR.
*
Nah, it's f5.6 and I am dead sure about it. I used that lens before and you obviously can see the aperture closes down as you turn the focus ring to a closer focus distance tongue.gif

tongue.gif just want to know the professional and practical way to use dslr.

It depends on what you need. Some professional photographers shoot JPEG because of the big number of pictures, mainly event and sports photographer. Some shoot RAW because they know they are going to spend a lot of time editing the images afterwards to achieve the best possible result, mostly product photographers.

JPEG if you are lazy or too busy to went through every image and edit them. RAW if you want to get the best quality images from your camera but you are going to need a lot storage and time to edit and store them.

not much difference btwn 600 n 750 mah. why nt u save and get a gopro hero 4. do short short clips.  more memorable than photos. and light. thumbup.gif  biggrin.gif

quite a big difference if you really compare them side by side.

that being said, it's pointless to get such a high performance camera just for travel photography imo.

well  for me if i alraedy have a high performance camera, i would want to bring it out for travel, I would not accept the lesser IQ from my other bodies (if i had others). each to their own maybe, last overseas trip I bought my compact and my dSLR. I ended up taking a lot of pix w/ my mobile and compact, WHILE lugging around my dslr in my backpack. Only at locations where i felt i needed the IQ then I bring out the dslr
*
true, but upgrading into a faster camera for travelling is a bit overkill for me.

QUOTE(f5calvin @ Jul 6 2015, 08:26 AM)
really alot difference? such as?
*
depends on how you see "a lot". the better AF and tilting screen on the d750 means a lot to me. not to mention they are priced differently.

anyways just my opinion.

Anyway, great shots there, those are spiders of the genus Tetragnatha
The 2nd one is particularly interesting, may I know specifically where you find them in the campus? I may need some for my research  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

Imagine mounting something like a canon 70-200 f2.8 on my little eos M haha biggrin.gif

Anyways, I found them at the park inside Danish House, around those trimmed "round" looking plants. If you need guidance I can bring you there.
