  1. No problem at all, but thank you all for sharing your opinion. My ex-D750 is from grey market and I lost only 2% resale after 1.5 years :D. Maybe you don't believe, but it is true. Lucky me to sell it on the D850's official release date =)). Sometimes I ask myself why taking risk buying used camera instead of keeping it, but my camera is like without warranty, so same for buying a used one. With many recalls of model, who would take risk to buy it as my serial is listed :(. However, with experience gain, we may be able to detect flaws from used camera and get a good used one, maybe :). Finally, I decided to hold my heart down a few weeks more waiting for price drop of new or used D810 .
  2. Thank you for sharing your opinion. Found used option from grey market as follows: + D800E, 23k shots, 1210 USD + D810, 10k shots, 1661 USD. Which one is more reasonable to go this time ?
  3. I've just sold my Nikon D750 after so many recall for this model come out. Frankly, I'm happy with D750 but I'm afraid of the lost value for this model if I keep it for another year. The new D850 will be on shelf in a few day but actually I'm not interested in this upgrade. I casually shoot Landscape/ Seascape/ Cityscape and night scape as my hobby. What is the best value camera for this type of photography this time ? Should I buy a new one or used one ? and Why I should pick it ? Thank you for your advice !
  4. <p>I'm using a Benro holder system FH-100N for my 16-35mm lense. It is designed for the 82mm CPL filter which can combine with max 3 other rectangular filters.<br /> When inserting a GND filter in front of the CPL, vignetting is not clearly seen but when adding one more ND filter (like little stopper), the vignetting becomes terrible (focal length is set at 16mm).<br /> Please anyone faces the same problem and how to deal with this matter ?<br /> I find that some people use only (GND & ND) filter to prevent the same issue. Not sure if the same issue happen when people use Lee system only (Lee holder & GND & ND & 105mm CPL) but for me i use Benro holder system + Marumi CPL + Lee GND & ND filter. However, many pro photographers (landscape & seascape) said that they never go out without CPL filter.</p>
  5. <p>Yes, there are so many positive reviews of the 70-200 f4 VR lense out there on the internet. Great IQ with light weight makes it one of the best choice ever.<br /> But there are also other 3rd-party maker for this range with very high rating through the dxomark (even higher for Tamron) and other review resource. They are : <br /> - Tamron SP 70-200mm f2.8 Di USD VC <br /> - Sigma APO 70-200mm f2.8 EX DG OS HSM <br /> Frankly, i'm not in need of a f2.8 since i love landscape and nature photography. Tragedy comes since these two 3rd party lenses drop in their price and even cheaper the Nikon f4 (for Tamron) in Dubai. They have almost the same functionality and rating on dxomark and they have a 77mm filter size same as the WA lense that I'm using. Their weight is the only thing that i dislike. <br /> Nikon has its light weight but it stands at high price as always, a 67mm filter size and a stop slower than the other makers.<br /> What is your choice ? And Why ?</p> <p> </p>
  6. <p>Thank you all for your advices. Couldn't agree more that the 24-120 focal range is the most useful for travel and landscape. It may be the only lens needed for travel. <br> Most of my previous landscape photo is taken at 18mm on a DX body and i remembered that i always wished to have a wider lens at that time. The 18-105mm was my default lens for any trip but can't satisfy with its IQ (can't claim for that cheap piece).<br> I still keep the 35f2 & 85f1.8 after selling the old DX body &18-105. Seems that i should sell the 85 and get a 70-200f4 as of its lightweight & IQ & more reach at some location and local event/festival.</p>
  7. <p>I'm at the hard time to decide which lense should i buy next since i fell in love with the landscape and travel photography. The 16-35 is with me now on a FF body. Building a new kit is really tough for me and i don't know which one i should go with next : 24-120 or 70-200.<br> - The 24-120 f4 has the same filter size with 16-35 but it overlaps its range (24 to 35). The 24-120 may supersede the 16-35 once it is mounted on the camera.<br> - The 70-200 f4 has smaller filter size which is the concern. Another thing is how often you need a telephoto range for a serious landscape photography.<br> Any advice is highly appreciated.</p>
