go for the Sigma, Nikon/1.4 has purple fringing. Bad sides, sigma is much bigger, heavier, a little more expensive and of course, you need to find the good one carefully. I think you can still get Nikon 1.4D, the cheaper version if your camera has internal motor. I'd prefer this instead of the...

yes, photography book is a must and no need to buy, library has very good resources. from me, dont just type and read the forum, go out and take some pictures ;p old saying: practice makes perfect.

hey, welcome canonian. for a start, i always try shooting still objects or at least not erratically moving objects :) So for me, portrait or landscape first, and you can get nice images with kit lens also.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I used low iso normally (200) and aperture (f4-f8). As I said, first I thought the camera would compensate the meter indicator accordingly when using flash (with Manual or Aperture mode), but apparently it didn't.

Yes, I know that, you have any max magnification number? and I believe the working distance must be decreased drastically after puting on the filter.

Basically, i just tried to get a balanced lighting foreground/background while using faster speed and/or hoping to get good DoF also. Yes, without any flash, I can get good exposure in natural lighting with 1/15 or 1/30, so, when using external flash, I was simply hoping to use the fastest...

FP=Focal Plane I read this in dpreview: AUTO FP High-Speed Sync The mechanical shutter of the D2H has a flash sync speed of 1/250th sec. The new SB-800 can automatically set itself to FP (Focal Plane) flash mode should camera shutter speed rise above the standard flash sync speed for Balanced...

sorry, not answering your question instead ask you one :) how much (more) magnification do you get by using marco lens + close-up filter? any compromise in quality? how bad if any? hope you can share your macro shot with and without the filter.

Hi, just recently got SB800. How do I use external flash effectively for indoor? I have 2 questions: 1. I tried using FP with 1/320 from the camera and using Auto-zoom TTL-FP AF-Fill on the flash. I use Manual and set the shutter to x320 but how do I get the correct exposure? I mean when I see...

u might want to see this link to see the affect of shutter and aperture: http://www.photonhead.com/exposure/simcam.php sorry, if this has been posted before.

Hi, Has anybody bought from ebay (ship from HK), seller name: Link Delight? I came across some products like for wireless shutter (nikon ml-3), cable shutter (nikon mc-30/mc-36) and remote TTL cord for speedlight. Are these products really good, similar to the original version? cheers.
