    Where did you grab your cactus from...? And the v4s is better than v2s?
  2. barraspalding
    so your ishoots relay all the ittl info jazz?
  3. barraspalding
    so keen for your thoughts... remote triggers... whats the best bang for buck radio/wireless/whtever trigger? Cactus V2 has been suggested as a good value device, not as reliable as a Pocket Wizard (tho they dont support nikon right now - from what I read on their site its mostly Canon). I'm looking to use my SB600 (possibly 2) for off camera flash...

    haha... yeah its so unfair kids get away with free gropes!

    looks like the car has been shopped onto the background kinda... but the lighting itself on the car looks awesome.

    no no no no... my camera has auto and manual... but how do you know its perfectly focused? old cameras used to have a split view thingy. This vid kinda explains it
  7. barraspalding
    I don't think manual focus would be an issue IF my camera had the focus thing... I recall an old film camera I used in high school had two half circles that would slide left or right on each other.... They'd create a perfect circle when ur focus was spot on. Do any cameras do that anymore??? Cuz I'm unsure how manual focus could be used effectively without something to indicate. Hopefully that made sense
  8. barraspalding
    Yeah I thought it would be worse too... Now I need to invent a new excuse cuz I'm not willing to blame myself without a fight :Op I'll stick to 2.8 n step up as I get more comfortable Cheers for all the help & comments... Much appreciated

    Me n the mrsvare heading over in sept for a few days.. Looking forward to it

    i used http://focustestchart.com as you suggested. So the results... and really I don't know if its good or not. From what I read in that http://focustestchart.com speel - its common/ok for it to be focused behind slightly... this seems more forward. F1.4 F2.8
  11. barraspalding
    I got a call back... He's of the opinion that it's ok, and that I shouldn't use or expect good results when using it at it's 'extremes'... I advised him I would conduct the 45degree angle test chart tonight and advise tomorrow. He was happy to have the lens returned to perform some tests himself also.

    I'll take some shots tonight. Currently waiting to hear back from the camerasdirect bloke. Curious... When u micro adjust the af, does that alter the af for the camera regardless of what lens u bolt on, or just that particular lens?
  13. barraspalding
    So would I have been better off going after a nikon lens? Nikkor 50mm 1.4 af-s. Or am I doomed to crappy results with large aperture lenses until I upgrade to a half decent camera that can be 'tuned'?
  14. barraspalding
    its an elcheapo nikon d40x... so i kinda expect it wont have that very useful function
  15. barraspalding
    what do you mean by adjust? other than manually take control of the focus ring
  16. barraspalding
    real world example... And a test shot example the camera place asked me to take as examples... (not as indepth as the angled setup mentioned earlier... wish I had a printer at home grrr!). Both done on tripod F1.4 F11
  17. barraspalding
    I'm not so sure... the focus is pretty fkd really. I think i'm experiencing this back/front focus with it... occasionally it'll focus sweet as, other times its just all wrong. I'll find some examples n post up later this week
  18. barraspalding
    are you smoking crack??? its from 2006!
  19. barraspalding

  20. barraspalding
    I just fell deep in love with this thread
  21. barraspalding
    i spotted in harveys a D40x for a pretty crazy high price... guess they struggle to offload stock. That camera has discontinued for many years http://www.camerasdirect.com.au/ - Cameras Direct. Have not compared all their prices to other places but they seem ok. Bought a speedlight off them and it was delivered within 24 hours. Excellent customer service.
  22. barraspalding
    a 34 for 9k... good luck
  23. barraspalding
    I was keen on the Sigma 50mm F1.4 HSM for my next lens purchase...
