  1. I was about to ask the same question. also, what is the opinion on wrapping no name bars all the way to the stem? cheesy looking or sexy?

    I have nitto bars but I wrapped them all the way to reduce the amount of vibration i feel in my hands. When Im riding in the city I usually keep my hands on top of the bars.

  2. Can you suggest some for me :)? I think I need to sell my girlfriend in order to buy the 85mm 1.4

    The 50mm 1.4 G is reasonably priced, I think around 500 bucks. The pic's I posted above were taken with it. It will give you an equivalent focal length of 75mm and thats perfect for portraits. It will also auto focus on your d3100.

  3. Thanks for the suggestion Joelz. But the 85 1.8 won't autofocus on the d3100.

    aaaah the cream machine, great lens.

    What exactly do you need the 85 1.4 for though? I mean its a great lens but kind of limiting in my opinion. Its the best for bokeh but there are other lens' that will give you some dreamy shots.

  4. Guys. It's hard for a college student with a part-time job to lay down money for a NIkon 24-70 2.8. :(

    Boo fucking hoo just playing.

    What camera do you have? If I were in you Id just get the tamron equivalent, its really sharp. I have the tamron 17-50 and it does me well. I hate using zooms though, I pretty much only use it when I absolutely have too.

  5. I'm just curious koven, what about the D7000 is the same as the D80? It's weather-sealed now with a magnesium alloy body, it has 100% viewfinder coverage. The only thing it doesn't have is the different controls above the shutter.

    The quality is much higher on the d7000, im not doubting that right now. Im just saying size and controls wise its the same cam. They are also on the same level on the hierarchy.

    Im just telling dude that if he is going to pay 1000+ on a camera to step up to a higher level. It will feel like much more of an upgrade. I used to have a d90 and i was considering the d7000, im so glad I upgraded to a d300s. The extra pro features and controls are worth it. Plus if you want to start making money from photography, a semi pro camera does make you look more legit. For me though, I just love the way the controls are laid out, you can change everything on the fly.

    I cant wait until the d400 comes out.

  6. Tell me no ones seeing vintage 10-speeds actually getting picked up everywhere.

    Yeah someone made a thread about this on bike forums last summer. I don't care if people are swapping bikes. I prefer the aesthetic look of a fixed gear and I think they are more fun so ill never go back. I ride for pleasure not transportation so the practicality of a road bike wont sway me into getting one.

  7. After seeing a D7000 I made up my mind to snag one, bout halfway there price wise and I'm actually gonna keep my D80 for a beater instead of selling it. amazing Cam for the price.

    Id rather get a used D300s or wait for the d400 with the new sensor. D7000 has some great low light performance but its essentially the same camera as the d80, its still an amateur camera.

    If you're going to keep the d80 as back up then u might as well step up to the flag ship crop camera.
