Really wondering will Nikkor 50mm available with built in motor this September tongue.gif
If so, really rclxm9.gif but I think even so, the price won't be cheap like current 50mm.

If not mistaken, I remembered once you told me that a lens that come with 9 blades of aperture will have a very nice bokeh is it ?

yup yup...
9 aperture blade is one of the criteria for nice bokeh
whistling.gif

sort of agree with u blush.gif

QUOTE(gogo2 @ Apr 4 2008, 12:14 PM)
seems like a good decision. Your dSLR focus motor thread makes me believe Nikon is going
haywire.

AF-S is the way to go biggrin.gif
unlike some other makers...
Nikon F-mount can stand the test of time....
at least u wont see Nikon abandoning it's supporter for so long

QUOTE(zio @ Apr 4 2008, 03:53 PM)
Hahaha yes this is Nikon thread, but seriously, A200. You get more bang for the buck right out of the box.

yup...until they want to buy other lens n accessory whistling.gif

QUOTE(mindkiller6610 @ Apr 4 2008, 06:02 PM)
solely based on Price Vs Features : A200 wins..

solely based on price vs long term investment: Nikon wins

i left it inside my bag when shooting group photos. then after awhile i realized
that its gone, searched all over. no luck. someone might have mistaken it as a trash. :sweat"
yeahla bro sweat.gif
eh, got sell yah?
i just need the cap only.
yeah but then how to use when got no ceiling? sweat.gif
*
if no ceiling?
u mean u face the cap thing forward (turn the flash 90 degree) at ur subject??
like that quite hard also

i think the some sort of omni bounce thing will work better here?
