It's gonna be a dark nite.........................................:bsmilie: :bsmilie:

 

[skylover]

not all will turn up

trust me on that one... :angel:

I agree with ZeroCoolAstra.. ^^

hahahaha should be ok la. Not fair to 'chope' so many seats, just in case they're crowded, then all the angry faces...
It should not be crowded that evening. I reckon it'll be easy to just grab extra seats should the need arise.
Anyway I'll explain to the person when I make the booking.


* used to be that average attendance for outings was about 50-70% of those that signed up. I remember one mass outing of 50+ people in City Hall area a year or 2 back. Only 20+ turned up I heard...
Newbies Outings has been luckier... usually about 3-4 drop out from the original list of 25+.

we chop too much space then those who really need to go there eat dinner one no space to eat, sure blame us if end up not everybody turn up.

firstly do u really need f/1.4? and will the extra 5mm wider makes a diff?

as for image quality wise, u gotta google to find out more...

Yes, 5mm makes a difference. and F1.4 makes a difference too.

The thing is, 30mm on a DX will beceom 45mm FOV, which is much closer to human's real FOV of around 42mm.

35mm on DX is more like 53mm FOV. More like a 50mm lens on FF.

On top of that, Sigma's 30/1.4 is famous for its silkly bokeh.

re: D90 outing on 11 Aug

If anyone has an SB800 or SB900, do bring it along.
We can try a group shot with master and slave flashes.
I will happily explain some simple night portrait tips if anyone is struggling... but beware, I'm no expert. My technique may be too simplistic, but for me I'm happy.

thanks for the advice.

to me, bokeh is not such a critical factor for what I use this lens for.
The 1.8 is pretty sharp wide open. Since I don't use it A LOT of the time, I decided this was the more value-for-money choice.

Simple is good! KISS rule applies here, whenever we are outdoors. Nice portrait shot, lad. No flash here, but would be good to learn how to use it. :thumbsup:

I'd go for a brand new set nevertheless. 10 bucks more than a used set, with a 1 year warranty? No offense, but it defeats logic to get a 2nd at 320 +-... (to me that is)

I don't have the above SB but I have DI866 which can be used as master or slave too.
