[sujoyp]

choudang the ability to shoot from back screen is called live view...simple

D3100 have live view ...but i too never tried mirror lock up

i know that .... just don't like to shoot with live view, even i was clicking thru viewfinder with my canon AIS1100

 

[sujoyp]

he he he ok shooting through live view is very uncomfertable....but I liked them for manual lenses

This lens is so tempting, all metal body and f2.8. That's pretty slick.

So is the price

So is the price

one third the price of its latest iteration. You don't get nikkor f2.8 lens as cheaper as this.

 

[sujoyp]

yes nikon 80-200 2.8 is also somewhere in my list .....but now that nikon have released nikon 70-200 f4 AFS VRIII I will rethink abt it in my dream list

nikon 80-200 2.8 is a AF lens and was selling for as low as 700$ thats 35k it dont have nano coating,no VR no AFS and I think no ED glass ....but its a bargain for that price

the new nikon 70-200 f4 have latest VR which can work as low as 1/10 sec and give sharp pics at 200mm @ 1/25 ss

Another good one to expand your collection is Nikkor 10-24mm. Good for landscapes and wide angle shots. I saw some of the sample pics and it's really great if you want to get into closed space photography or taking whole area into the viewfinder.

AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED from Nikon

I guess these two lenses are now in my wishlist.

i'd rather wait and buy the 70-200mm 2.8 VRII

 

[sujoyp]

prabhu 70-200 2.8 vr2 cost twice the f4 version....it weights twice and bigg ....i will see these when going for something like that.

i was initially planning to get 80-200 from US instead of d300 but then 80-200 is AF and i would need a better body in any case...D7000 have lots of issues like sensor oil leak and poor focussing soo people stopped me from purchasing used blindly.

yes but its a damn good lens or u could go for the VRI

 

[sujoyp]

yes VR1 is a nice idea...but still its twice costly then 80-200 equivalent to 70-200 f4 now

 

[choudang]

who is using TC

 

[sujoyp]

i am not using...but what u want to know abt tc

 

[choudang]

makin 300mm to 400 mm but ..... don't know will it be compatible or not

 

[sujoyp]

look if u want to increase from 300mm to 400m then u need a 1.4x TC ....a nikon 1.4x TC cost 20k ....
a kenko TC may cost 12k and maybe compatible...if u r serious I will find u the exact one

 

[choudang]

yeah, i heard about kenko .... and not sure

 

[Faun]

Which speed light or flash light is good for portrait. Should be able to reflect it from ceiling or project soft light.

 

[sujoyp]

@faun u can get any flash with moving head soo that u can flash at different angles.....for soft light just get a 200rs diffuser
