There are features where the AF-D wins, but yeah overall 1.8 DX is better. Still I'd go for AF-D with a good price. A 35 1.8G is much sharper trust me. i used both. btw i was thinkin to grab a wide. either a 20mm 2.8D or the 18-35mm 3.5-4.5G who has tried them before?

Am looking to use the lens for events/weddings/potrait shooting do share you expereince if you owned them before i have 85 1.8G, i use it for weddings and portraits. Sharp, but a little slow on AF, but sufficiently fast enuf for most excpet sports? and i like that lens alot cz of it's nice bokeh as well. u could consider sigma 85 1.4, which has even better bokehhhh , but have nt tried.

Now considering to switch to sony mirrorless system or Nikon FF. i want to know is D810 worth the upgrade? the price is quite steep tho.. My mainly shooting landscape, portrait, travel vlog (used to work with 1080 60p), and thinking to step in wedding photo in near future. Sony has better video quality and much lighter. Best for u to travel around with compared to a full frame dslr. But sony has super expensive lenses and AF nt as fast as dslr. Drains out battery like crazy, u will need at least 3 of them for a day if ure travelling. if you're working with it, u'll need at least 6 to 10 of them. Hw long u used d5200? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(Agito666 @ Sep 28 2016, 11:05 AM) i not sure what to input since i never use camera for work anyway. but then since you mentioned TRAVEL VLOG... getting from D5200 to FX is kinda heavy too i not sure you will want to do it lol.... i personally use D800 and i can say it is heavy after 2 hours carry onward. (okay i am weak and never go any sport and gym lol , 60 kg and 175cm high) i saw your previous comment in Sony subforum... oh yeah another thing need to consider is Optical Viewfinder (VF) and Digital VF for long hour battery consuming (for trips issue, only able charge battery after back to hotel in night) actually you still can use DX lens on FX body but cropped portion of course, i rarely (actually never see) people in here use DX lens on FX body... most of the poeple here i see is use FX lens on DX body then slowly convert to FX body. (which means invest in lens then body later) by the way do you even heard Nikon DF? i've check D5200, it is 24MP camera and i think quite decent what...why you want to change?? oh yeah i think get D750 maybe better choice. you can compare the spec for that. annndddd megapixels issue... you upload digital photos in facebook i think use D70s also same la. D70s 6mp only also maybe you can scout some 2nd hand FF body camera too if price is killing you Im using a tokina 11-16 on a FX camera.

It will auto crop by default, but u can change the setting of the camera not to auto crop. QUOTE(vincetee06 @ Sep 28 2016, 05:29 PM) So u mean D500 DX can be better then D750, D810 FF? They're used for different purposes. So cant say that one is better than another.

Just felt that i can improve the IQ and looking for more beautiful bokeh in FF. I been shooting with kit lens which is 18-55 F3.5-5.6 only, since i am plan to upgrade system, so i didn't invest on other lens to fully utilize this camera. Actually, i am quite confusing when everybody is claiming Sony Mirrorless focusing system is not there yet, and slow. But i check through the review on youtube, all i saw is positive feedback especially for Sony A7R II. G1_Pj92aT_U What i meant was autofocus for photo. For video, most of the time u'll use manual focus. and btw a7r II is kinda very superior compared to a7, a7ii and a7r. same goes to the price tag.

starsssss Elite 1,557 posts Joined: Dec 2011	QUOTE(vincetee06 @ Sep 29 2016, 11:12 AM) Yes, the edge out data may not showing significant different result. But the price of that sony new lens is just about 2.6K, thats tempting, i had seen the result from this lens, really perfect. And its price doesn't drop much when comes to used lens, if compare to Nikon used lens, usually dropped more than 30% IMO. I am thinking... possible to use Sony FE lens on my 5200? if in future, i am comfortable to upgrade Sony system still can use it. Btw, i saw in KLDSLR, a lot of Nikon used Big F-stop 50mm G lens, price at around 8-900 up to 1.5k only, these lens can buy? Anyone bought used Nikon lens from them? Which sony new lens is 2.6k? The Sony 55mm f/1.8 Sonnar? Price of sony lens not dropping cz of current high demand imo Btw i have seen ppl using adapter on a sony body for nikon/canon lens. but not the other way round la If u wanna get a 50mm, i recommend the sigma 50mm 1.4 EX (but get the old version, rougher surface one cz i think they produce sharper image) But on a DX body, a 35mm 1.8G DX is better suited for me since can use it indoors n outdoors. Go n try it out at nikon timesquare

starsssss Elite 1,557 posts Joined: Dec 2011	QUOTE(vincetee06 @ Sep 30 2016, 07:32 AM) Yes, both lazada ad kldslr selling at 2.7k, with discount code can further reduce the price to 2.6 and 2.5k. I am thinking this 55mm 1.8 maybe enough for portrait use, hunt one more 16-35mm for landscape then i am good to go. For Sigma lens, i am not familiar with it, maybe the price cheaper, but the i am doubting the IQ can fight against Zeiss lens? Dun get from lazada la, lazada from various sellers and they maybe selling import set and all that. kldslr i deal wit him before. Yes, if u're using sony FF such as Sony a7 for instance, a 55mm and a 16-35 would be sufficient for almost everythin. Btw im comparing the sigma 50 1.4 EX with nikon 50mm lenses (50mm 1.8D, 1.8G, 1.4D, 1.4G) If u wanna bring in Zeiss, then u shud compare with the Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art (cz similar price range but much heavier)

starsssss Elite 1,557 posts Joined: Dec 2011	QUOTE(vincetee06 @ Sep 30 2016, 02:50 PM) My initial idea was same with you, selling my Nikon and jump to Sony Mirrorless FF, but Sony fans ask me to stay in where i am. So i came to here and survey Nikon, mana tahu here people also say the same thing... Yea, i really love how the image is presented by using that 55mm 1.8 zeiss, and the price is affordable for me. But Sony camera body price is no joke... So now i considering 3 combination: Sony A7ii + 55mm 1.8zeiss + 16-35mm F4 zeiss Sony A7R ii + above same lens (not enough fund for this, but can installment) Nikon D750 + 50mm F1.8G ED Bro, the seller is KengDim, which have a shop in Cheras. he is selling official Sony Malaysia Warranty set. Both Shashikin and KLDSLR also selling this lens at the same price. Perhaps you go update your list =) Hmm.. I din really compare the prices and from which dealer. But i found a dealer selling a7ii at rm4823. timesquare one and it's sony set, not import.
