I thought the rumour was that it will cost RM2k and above.

The Sigma 50mm f1.4 is already above 1.5k right?

Then what you use ? your eye with view finder ? tongue.gif

Lol tats correct smile.gif The green dot flickers so much that you won't even know when the shot is in focus so might as well count on the trusty eye.

Now if they have split prism for D90 tongue.gif

I think someone needs to define D200 and above. Technically it can mean that above D200 are the D2, the D3, the D300, the D700 or it can also mean any camera newer than the D200 which means the D40 falls into the category smile.gif

Well, good for you if you can be satisfied with manual focusing. I just find the LCD and small-ish viewfinder of the D40 to be more suited for auto-focusing. Same goes for the terrible focusing rings of the current AF lenses. But that's just me.

TakNak Chimping has nothing to do with manual focusing, but more towards metering, unless you use a manual focus lens as well during that outing.
*
Ehh dont know anything about manual metering but SA's TakNak Chimping requires you to do manual focusing. just needed to point that out. The rest of the argument is too deep for me.

All I know is... macro is manual. Haha only way to check sharpness is to keep zooming in after every shot smile.gif

I believe some people say its better to keep both your eyes open when shooting.

I've seen some macro photographers say that lol but I can never get used to it biggrin.gif

Ermm while you two continue with your argument, can I just interrupt for a moment?

Did you say YL is essentially selling the D90 kit for RM3650? That is possibly the cheapest price possible for the D90. Unless you meant its RM2950 for the body and additional RM1k for the lens. That would put it to market price.

Yes, I have the 10-20. http://www.flickr.com/photos/eng-bernie/se...57607356533273/
The link is for all the newest photos with the 10-20. Please, take a look at the badly distored pics. I take portraits with that lens too btw. So how's that for distortion?

zio, sorry for hogging the thread tongue.gif

Yes, YL offered 2650 for body only. It was initially offered at 2850. Additional 1K for the lens. They posted it at MIR. I didn't call to confirm though (there was a phone number there) because I didn't intend to buy one.
*
Ahh ok. There are a number of fake MIR postings with YL's number. Started a few days back actually. Oh well, glimmer of hope that it will still be cheaper smile.gif

And go back to shooting you two. Err not each other, photos smile.gif

fisheyeeee biggrin.gif although i love it but i think it's way out of my budget. even the sigma, i won't be able to get it until probably by the end of this year. that and skyports. after that, wait half a year before splurging again on my expensive hobby. hehehe!!
