105mm has option to only focus from 0.5m to infinity...which should help focus speed abit as it doesnt need to hunt the full range.
but again, its not so much the focus speed as it is the narrower field of view.

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

i see, thanks!

yeah have download, not choice... why they can't preload the image first

A hymenopteran fight by Ji Tan, on Flickr

A battle for survival between a weaver ant (Oecophylla sp.) and a wasp, which are quite closely related to one another. Who do you reckon will win the fight?

The answer is simple: the wasp will win so long as the weaver ant doesn't get any reinforcements. This is because the weaver ant doesn't have a stringer, even though its bite can be powerful. On the other hand, all the wasp has to do is stab the ant with its venomous sting and its over.

Any event for this weekends?

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.

At 1:1 ratio, fstop is about f/5.6

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.

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.

joining

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

It's f/5.6 despite what the LCD may show.
Formula is about (1 + magnification) x (stated aperture)

hi guys.. I'm using nikon sb600.. haven't use the speedlite for quite a while, when i want to use it yesterday, it can't be turned on. when i check the battery compartment, realized i didn't remove the battery during the last time i used it and the battery has started to leak and damage the battery compartment. can you guys suggest where i can send it for repair and how much does it usually cost to repair it?

Thanks!

zzzz, just send back to nikon service center.
they will give u a quote first.
and leaking is why u shouldnt use alkaline batts.

Guys, any idea what is the best price for Nikon AF-S 35mm F1.8 in the market now?
or where to get it in KL area?
thanks

Are you looking for the DX or FX ones? The DX ones is approx 700+- brand new with Nikon MY warranty, AP can get around 600+-, then 500+- for used

guys D7100 vs D750.. which one should I take ? I'm taking on 2nd hand unit, appreciate on comments..

I think both D7100 and D750 is non comparable because 1 is DX and another is FX..you getting both as the same price?

See what u are really need. DX or FX. Both of the price are different and also the lens as well.
