Then and Now

[kawal]

^bro everyone knows that this lens is one of the superiors of all nikkor line-up. so congratulations on your purchase. though mahal nga talaga, but you'll never go wrong with this glass. pero nasaan na yung D80 mo? did you sell it to purchase this?

kung ako siguro may 100k for camera equipment, i would've gotten the D700 and just get a 50mm or an 85mm; or 5D mkII + 55mm/85mm. but that's just me.

tol, if you have time you could visit me here at work or maybe sa bahay. ill let you use my nikon body para ma-test mo yan. alam kong gusto mo nang ma-unleash ang lupit ng lenteng yan. 

[kurtcobainer]

Wow Yan lang ang masasabi ko. Pero like what Kawal said, I would've gotten a D700 or D300s. Then bought a 50mm f1.4. Pero ako ng alang yun.

Congratulations!

Thank you sa invite pre pero bili pa ako ng ticket nyan.

D80 nakay insan na. Im plotting to get a d90 to go with my lens system.
Na-isip ko na yan eh me 85 na tapos 70-200 medyo redundant na.

Para sa akin mas madali bumili ng DSLR cam than awesome glass thats why the lens won coz no way im gonna spend that much again just for me in the near future.
( maybe a 14-24 nikkor in 5 years time )

Im more of a lens guy really.......I CANT WAIT TO GET A BODY ON THIS

At the moment i have a manual 50mm 1.4 and the 85mm1.4D....it was tempting to get the D700.

I was thinking that this lens is a workhorse so lets see....HOPEFULLY ill learn a lot and improve from it and open up my skills.
Thanks bro.

70-200 2.8 1/3 sec. no VR


Same lens at 1 sec. with VR

[pallas]

same lens at 200mm 1 sec. at 2.8 with VR


Same settings, no VR

[pallas]

Same lens at 200mm, wide open, 1 sec with VR

This one at 1/10 sec no VR


Every shot was done at ISO 1600 with the indoor shots the light source was as strong as a lightbulb.

[tackielarla]

Wow! Kelan pa kaya ako makakuha nito... USD$2.2k+ for 1 lens wow. Grat's on the purchase!

[kawal]

laki talaga ng tulong ng VR. kahit 2-3 stops slower (than non-VR) ang shutter panalo pa rin. bat di ka pa nag D300? oks sana yun.

[kurtcobainer]

Wow! You are blessed!

[pallas]

Wow! You are blessed!

No pre.....i am in debt to ying yang

D300 twice as much as the D90 WITH the same or better ISO performance tsaka mabigat na sa budget.

Thanks bro.

Bili ka ng tripod sigurado ko mas maganda pa jan sa kuha ko magagawa mo.

[badongrodrigs]

wow i didn't realize VR would have such an extreme effect. Congratulations on your purchases, most especially the 70-200mm 2.8! you can shoot music videos with that D90 on a professional and HD level, so treasure it!

you people are buying these kinds of lenses and i can't even afford a 50mm 1.4, or even 1.8!

[tackielarla]

Thanks bro.

I have a tripod and my pics are still not as nice as that!

Buy a better tripod

[pallas]

I need to clean the lights at home  
Testing the lens for flare okay naman sya pero meron pa rin sa certain shots.


f5, 1/80 at ISO 320

[demoboi]

Good investment. Invest first sa glass rather than sa body. If you're shooting events(general) or sports, zooms are better. Pero if you're shooting portraits go for primes. Those zooms are made to perform like prime lenses with the added zoom capability. If may review dyan na nagsasabi na mas sharp talaga ang primes, yes totoo pero come to think of it it's not that big naman. Good buy bro! What filter are you using? I think yan ung cause ng flares mo.

[pallas]

Im using a HOYA filter kasi ang mahal nung nikon eh.
Oo nga no pag gamit di nano coated transferable din siguro yun.

Pansin ko sa D90 ang ganda ng readback sa LCD nya tapos pag view sa computer medyo iba ng konti.
Ganon din ba sa iyo pre?

Here are some more shots with a pedal the first one at F9 at isa wide open.




I know i need to clean the pedal as well pero ang sarap ng setting na yan kaya di ko magalaw

[pallas]

This set-up is so HEAVY. My hats to those pro guys who have this lens and a D3,D700 and even a D300s.
I need to work up my left arm to handle this set-up.

Here are some more pics.

[pallas]

Yung LCD ng D90 parang may sugar-coating. Masyadong pino sa readback pero pag sa laptop na di sya ganoon ka sharp

Pag zoom mo dun sa mama sa loob ng tram sharp sya sa D90 pero dito hindi.

[dantuts]

yung mga nikon boxes pics ba D90 din ang gamit mo ? kasi sharp sya dun sa with VR example.
kung yung nikon boxes sharp dun sa D90 lcd at sharp din when you posted it sa thread,
baka talagang soft lang or baka "nabulag" ka sa sobrang kakatingin, kaya tingin mo sharp pero hindi (vis-a-vis). sometimes it does happen.

Okay lang pag ganyang scenario....stationary.
Pero pag medyo layo at compressed ang image....ewan ba.

Parang sugar-coated LCD ng D90.
