Thanks for the super valuable info bro! I am actually testing all modes and settings right now, but a bit like on reverse. That's just how I learn new things at my age now.

hi i got a nikon p600. when i set the shutter speed to be short like 1/400 or 1/800 or shorter, the image become black. Is this normal or my camera got problem. i use the shutter priority menu

yes, using auto the image fine ...

im thinking maybe the sensor got prob with short shutter speed. want to try to shoot flying bird

hi guys, fiance and I will be heading to Europe for 3 weeks and we're bringing our Nikon J1 (with 10-30 & 30-110mm lenses + 1 tripod).

1. Currently using a 8gb class4 sd card, any advice if we should be using a larger storage sd card and extra batteries?

2. I'd bring both lenses, but worried those pickpocket might curi from my bag when busy jalan or worse get surrounded by those groups 'beggar kids' ><" Any advice on how to protect from theft/pickpocket?

Thanks in advance guys, cheers

3 weeks is a looong time, but if your shooting jpg. should not be a problem for 8GB. but I would advice getting a extra memory cards. because they are dirt cheap. throw in one or two 16GBs and you should be good to go. Normally I would always buy 1 extra battery handy. But if your confident w/ the J1, why not.

I would say awareness would be your best tool against pick pockets. Id be more worried about wallets and passports tho...

want an opinion
is the D3200 good with the 18-55mm VR lens or the 18-105mm?
and VR2 is faster auto focus..right?

I have the 105mm F2.8 VR2, its awesome for macro, but not really so for portraits although the focal length is good
This is because the 105mm is not that sharp at F2.8 for commercial work, at least for me la Its not very fast either, thus more suitable for posed shots only..

I do not have a 85mm F1.8, but I use a Fujifilm 56mm F1.2 (almost same focal length) as my secondary camera during weddings. This one is awesome for portraits and posed shots; not so for candids. Most 85mm lens are quite sharp wide open 

Unless if you are planning to shoot macro (e.g. photo of wedding rings etc.) too, the 85mm F1.8 would be the better pick. Especially so if you are on DX

Another point to consider is the focus speed; For portrait, you can set the focus limit switch to limit the focus distance, but it's still slow for action. Usable but really depends on how you utilize it accordingly.

One more point to take note is the maximum aperture will change as you focus closer (into macro range). E.g. You set to f/2.8, and you go nearer to your subject and you may notice the maximum aperture changed to f/3 or smaller. It can be a problem if you're shooting in manual mode as the ISO or shutter speed still maintains and your exposure will be different.

i have 85mm 1.8g w/ d5100
i wouldnt recommend it for indoor as it would be bit tight
as for event it was a bit slow focusing(in dark)
it is sharp lens even wide open
i buy it mainly for portrait
feel free to check my flickr

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.

You're welcome mate and yes, it's for the 105mm Micro

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

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

yup.. quite similar price.. its from my friend.. hehe..

i just have a concern on FX lenses which will be more exp than DX.. other than this, what do you guys think? should i go with 750 or 7100?

hahaha.. im so not into professional photography yet.. more likely for hobby.. can 7100 support towards wedding photoshoot? haha.. maybe once i found the gold there then only switch to FX..

what I mean is at the lens got "Auto focus" on or manual. Do we should put as on or as manual everytime need adjust on the lens?

i use auto all the time, some people like manual. kit lens normally is auto focus, you can adjust it manually even it is auto on....

nowsaday so difficult to sell used lens , anyone interested in tokina1116 kindly refer to my signature..

btw.. D750 at 5799 before gst good value?
