hi ben, ya la now i pok kai already must shoot more to earn back :p

isisaxon, think the 14-24 can only work on DSLRs. the F100 is a film body.

According to KRW, you can uses the 14-24 on the F100. It is a 'N' lens, meaning it can be used on a full-frame format camera. Here is the link.

I think F5 is able to use the 14-24. All you need is to be able to use the dials on the body to adjust the aperture because the new lenses are G lenses without aperture ring.

i should think G lens will work just fine on nikon film bodies.

just that for my f70 (ya, louya pok film body), can only use G lenses in S or P mode. no direct manual control over the aperture. doesn't make sense!

using in A or M mode, the aperture will default to the smallest. cannot change. lucky i have non-G lenses to use in A/M modes =P

nope. not all film bodies. as long as it is a fully-manual camera like the fm/fe series, can't use g-lenses.

the 14-24 will work just fine on a f100... if you dun mind the ultra wide-angle. i can imagine at 14mm, it is more than wide enuf to cover the breadth of the studio. ;p
 

canon dun have 17-35 this lens canon have 16-35 f2.8l and 17-40f4l. i shoot portrait like 35 50 85 and 135 is the best lens. 20 i have use b4 but not as well for portrait cos feel like not enough wide and not enough to stadrand lens. if u take full body portrait will feel have some problem. like 50mm u cannot take full bdy will making the protrait shot 1. 16-35 is good lens for us cos at 16 wide and 35 are nice at portrsit and also is L series lens.
 

Not even the P and S modes on the FA?

Nope. Just like what psychobiologist wrote, I can only shoot at f22.

Unless I shoot large format, otherwise I seldom use f22.

I thought FA might be able to use G lenses like an AiS lens closed down to the minimum aperture. I guess it must be lacking the coupling tabs.

Yes... you are absolutely right. There isn't a coupling tab on my FA.

I was referring to the lens. Shouldn't there be an aperture coupling tab on the FA like FE2 and FM2?
