No matter which name you call it, it is the latest generation 50mm lens from Carl Zeiss which is made in Japan by Cosina. Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 is a simple and beautiful lens with full metal barrel body that feels solid in your hand and give you a little luxury feeling. The focus ring is smooth and very precise that give you a very high quality taste. The 9 blades aperture give you very soft and nice out of focus area blur. Despite of the fine build quality and superb photo quality, manual focus is just not for everyone. However, for those who grew up with manual focus film cameras, Carl Zeiss would be a very enjoyable lenses that reminds you all the good old days.]]> http://dcuser.net/canon/carl-zeiss-planar-t-50mm-f14-ze-zf.html/feed 0 http://dcuser.net/others/lcd-monitor-for-photography-ips-lcd-panel.html http://dcuser.net/others/lcd-monitor-for-photography-ips-lcd-panel.html#comments Wed, 11 Mar 2009 05:31:10 +0000 admin http://dcuser.net/?p=578 Recently I am busy with searching for a new LCD monitor. I found that is really difficult to choose a LCD monitor for photo viewing / editing which is affordable. My requirement for the photo viewing / editing LCD monitor are:

• Color reproduction as good as possible, above 95% NTSC color reproduction
• Resolution is high and pixel size is not too small, 1900 x 1200 (16:10) resolution with 24"
• Reasonably quick response time, so I can use wild color range LCD monitor to enjoy watching movies
• Affordable price, I spent a lot of $ on lenses not long ago.... not much budget left.... US$600

As soon as I start researching on forums, blogs and reviews websites, I learn that is almost imposble to find a LCD monitor that can fulfill all 4 requirements... Most of the LCD monitors on the market can fulfill 3 of the requirements; either the 1st three or the less three (the one can reproduce more than 95% NTSC color are too expensive) Finally, I find the perfect monitor that fulfill all 4 requirements!]]> http://dcuser.net/others/lcd-monitor-for-photography-ips-lcd-panel.html/feed 2 http://dcuser.net/nikon/nikon-50mm-1_4g-samples-review.html http://dcuser.net/nikon/nikon-50mm-1_4g-samples-review.html#comments Sat, 14 Feb 2009 17:42:36 +0000 admin http://dcuser.net/?p=574 Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm 1.4G prime lens is an upgrade version on the NIKKOR 50mm 1.4D.

I think most of us has experience of carelessly touching the lens with fingers. The oil and fingerprint is really difficult to clean. I tried a few different lens cleaning products from the camera shop, none of them work as well as I expected (after cleaning, I can still see a thin layer of oil). Finally I find the perfect lens cleaning cloth, not from the camera shops, but from a supermarket's home cleaning department.]]> http://dcuser.net/others/lens-cleaning.html/feed 0 http://dcuser.net/canon/most-popular-dslr-lenses.html http://dcuser.net/canon/most-popular-dslr-lenses.html#comments Sun, 21 Dec 2008 18:09:45 +0000 admin http://dcuser.net/?p=547 According to an online survey about DSLR Lenses.
