Good choice. My Sigma 50mm f1.4 performs miracles on my S5 Pro. Now I am aiming for Nikkor 70-200mm.
S5 Users in here, where are you?

good shots you have there guys!
many thanks for reviving the S5 Pro user group.
seems like the primary shots are for portraits 9ahh well, isn't what S5 is good at?)..
anyone did any other tries? like night photography e.g, light trails etc..
i'd like to know more about our camera capabilities...

Actually there's really nothing much to it. The tamron 17 - 50 is a very good lens for its price. The night one all i did was put it onto a tripod. Set to timer because i didn't have a shutter release cable. 30 seconds F9 - F11 if i'm not wrong. And there you have it 
Not sure which film simulation mode i was using. But i'm guessing its F1b. The day shot i just set to aperature piority, shot across the road while waiting for the bus. I guess what's most important is time of the day. Not everything is because of the camera. Weather plays a big part as well.
Here's another shot

Mine's the one with the motor. I was told your version is better. But this was the only one i came across 2nd hand. So yea... Try attaching a flash. You could make use of the "red beam" from it to help with the focus. Like for my SB800 i know there's a function where i can turn off the flash from firing but keep the "red beam" firing. Sad part is that it doesn't work with my 58mm F1.4 manual lens. I have real trouble focusing on that at night. Another thing i usually do is focus on like an object that "stands out" like a sharp corner or something. Flat surface never works for me....

Yeah me. Very sharp lens. Even at 200mm wide open. The VR plays an important part too. Easy to bring along too, as it is small and light.

i beg to differ. i my 55-200 vr which i own previously was one of the worst. i suggest a 70-300 vr or a 80-200 f2.8 instead =)

Please check out the lens review report of the 55-200mm VR. I have used it and no complaints. The 70-300mm VR is good also, but it costs more than twice the 55-200mm VR.

that's what i read from Flickr. now asking the people with this lens...
lemon?
70-300 or 80-200 wayy over for me....the price plus the size..:bsmilie:
I've been enjoying the S5pro ever since I got it.. Only thing is still confuse with the settings and learning through experimenting alot.. Do you guys shoot mostly in the film saturation modes or the standard modes with tweak settings..
I read in some reviews that the noise level for this cam is good at high ISOs, tried shooting at 1250 color-High tone-high shapness-high DR at 400% terrible results.. At Film sat 1c I had it at color- high tone-medium sharp- high it turned out ok.. Trying different settings to find the sweet spot..
What do you guys normally set your cameras at?? Its gota be somthing I did wrong, would love to learn from you guys in here..
