QUOTE(Joseph Hahn @ Sep 12 2008, 06:44 PM) Exactly. It's your money. And not all people print big. So no point in poisoning everyone to get a Nikkor if they can't afford it. I'd love one too but i can't justify the price tag just for a hobby. do i need to know where the d300's ISO button?p/s: Have you found out where D300 ISO button is ? it really doesnt concern me at this point of time... since i have no d300... what really matters to me right now is the D3's controls.... the d300 is sooooooo past me already...and i dun intent to look back at it.... so if u plz...can u explain again why is the ISO button is so important that i need to take note of it? is it a matter of life and death? or is it juz to prove a point that u can spell I-S-O....without missing any letters? now i m really curious.... |

QUOTE(Joseph Hahn @ Sep 12 2008, 11:01 PM) Well you were one of the first people in Malaysia to own it and you owned it for months before upgrading to D3 and you don't even have a clue that it had an ISO button. Maybe i just want to point out that people shouldn't listen to a person that only know to poison people mindlessly to buy the most expensive gear but you yourself don't even know what's what. And i thought you mentioned downgrading back to D300. again... p/s: I can spell just fine. It's just that ISO is one of the basics of exposure together with aperture and shutter speed. If you don't even know where the button is or what it does, then no point in owning even a D3. But then again i guess you never use manual ISO control. Luckily Nikon Auto ISO is smart enough that no matter how thick the people are, they can still use the camera. i wanna tell u... if u cant afford something...dun envy those who can. even though they know crap about the thing that u cant afford. ok i admit. i might not be the greatest of photographer, but i din do photography to be great either. i did it for fun. juz that i can afford it, thats y i got the best money could buy. if u are that great, where are ur great pictures? award winning pictures? and ur super awesome skill using MANUAL ISO setting? who are u to say whether there's no point for someone to get wat they can afford although they dunno crap about it? like ive said earlier.... it's wat i can afford....and i want the best.... knowing to use it comes second.... it seems u have problems with people who have money and can get wat they want.... next time, dun envy those who can afford wat u cant...juz WORK HARDER... i wanted to say SMARTER...but i doubt u can do that... anyway.... i m sure u'll get the support of the OTHER smart fella who works as a java programmer to back u up.... well... i rest my case here.... let me emphasize again....dun envy those with money....it does wonders actually...in case u dun already know...  |

QUOTE(orenzai @ Sep 18 2008, 09:33 PM) i know its sharp...the world knows its sharp...but at f2.8, it is LESS sharper THAN f4...thats all it is...so its sharper at f2.8 and sharpest at f4 so it's not soft? then why do u keep saying it is soft? if a lenses is sharp...it is sharp... it doesnt mean that if it is sharper at f4...it is soft at f2.8.... btw.... do u even know wat u r talking about? have u even tried the trinity....to simply say it's soft wide open? not ALL lenses are soft wide open.... ONLY THE CHEAP ONES ARE! especially third party e.g. sigma,tamron,etc. |

QUOTE(KTCY @ Sep 22 2008, 09:44 PM) Seriously for me, manual focus is easy dun u all use the green dot for manual focus? I get almost 95% in focus. Don't believe ? See my gallery http://bumblebee8888.multiply.com/photos/a...ression_of_kids http://bumblebee8888.multiply.com/photos/a...Street_Shooting  is it that hard to notice the green dot? i get all my manual focus pics sharp without problem... nikon's digital ragefinder is very useful indeed... also... can u explain... how ez is manual metering? since u say focusing is harder...i MIGHT get some pointers on how to actually METER manually faster than i focus... |

QUOTE(ebernie @ Sep 23 2008, 12:14 AM) Manual metering is not tough. It's tough if you can't check your images right after you take them but since we have the LCD screen to review the picture right after taking them, not to mention the uber useful histogram, manual metering is not tough at all. i guess wat u r explaining is indeed manual metering....Of course, I'm talking from experience shooting in manual mode all the time. Any exposure errors can be easily corrected by manipulating the shutter/aperture/ISO (in that order). If you shoot in any program modes, then have to fool around with exposure compensation... maybe troublesome a bit. Now, compare this to manual focusing. 1. you can't really use the D40's LCD to check for sharpness 2. the green dot helps in focusing (duh), but can you tell what did u focus on? 3. what if your subject moves? can ur hands match the speed of a focusing motor to track the subject? And ultimately, unlike fixing exposure errors, you can't just turn a knob on your camera. To make matters worse, focusing errors are also almost impossible to fix in post-processing. Not so with exposure issues. Anymore questions kids? BUT.... it is not the method used when using an Ai-S lenses with bodies that cant meter with them... metering with Ai-S lenses on a d40 is NOT manual metering... it is stop down metering... heard of it? where u set the aperture ring to the F-number that u want when the photo is taken... and shoot till u get the exposure rite... THAT's manual metering with a body that cant meter.... so r u clear now? next time, dun confuse ppl...check before u explain anything...  |
