Gary H: David Chu won his first YvB in the Sunset and Sunrise thread. Congrats! We need a new challenger. 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
David Chu: Oh, and make sure the focus thing is set to single point focus, and the middle point is selected, and the thing that is in focus is in the middle. :) 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
proudmommy: and have you looked at that group lately? You just kicked my behind! ;) 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
proudmommy: make up your mind. Is it right or left and I typically try to focus on something - often random, but SOMETHING nonetheless! 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
David Chu: proudmommy make sure it's focused on something. Then a green light will come up in the bottom right of the viewfinder. 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
proudmommy: it's funny you say that bear11. That is exactly what I kept saying while playing with it this evening! 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
~bear: love love love my 50mm. You will enjoy it, no doubt! 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
proudmommy: @David: thanks for the tips earlier, but still see no green light. Maybe I have too many other things going on in my mind! Wasn't watching for it! 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
proudmommy: @jays0n: I will. Now that I've tried, I will. I'm sure I'll still need practice! 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
proudmommy: We'll see what they look like on a real screen! You may be right! 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
David Chu: that lens is MAGIC. 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]

Wolfman-K: 50mm mm I need to use mine more, perhaps this weekend since we are going away on a wine and bbq weekend :D 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
jays0n: Right on Mama, and be sure to post em anyway. 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
TravelingRoths: I knew my Canon did, but didn't know if Nikons worked that way also. 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
David Chu: Yes it does, green light in the lower left hand corner of the viewfinder. 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
TravelingRoths: Even in manual mode, does your camera let you know if you have focus lock? That's helpful in low light. 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
David Chu: Ghanit: same with Nikon. Only one with plastic mounts as far as I'm concered are cheap zooms. 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
Peter|ghanit: @David: only cheap kit lenses don't have a metal mount! ;) (at least the ones from Olympus) 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
proudmommy: I will. Probably not initially, but in time, I will! 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
David Chu: Remember to post some shots :). 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
proudmommy: thanks. okay. If you think of anything else, leave me more comments. I'm leaving again soon for the evening, but will check back l8tr! 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
David Chu: on the lens to f/22 and lock it in (an orange switch on the lens). You will adjust aperture using the camera. 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
David Chu: When you mount the lens it'll be tighter than when you mount your other lenses. This is because the mount is METAL :). Also turn the aperture on the 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
proudmommy: I'm going to need it! I just have it sitting here in front of me - like it's a bomb or something. Afraid it will explode if I open it! 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
proudmommy: Thanks, David! I uh.. took it back last time I bought it. Freaked out by the whole manual thing! Silly me! Anyway, wish me luck, have a feeling 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
David Chu: WHEEEEE You're going to LOVE it. Start at infinity, focus to where it seem sharp, go past it, then come back to where it's sharpest. 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]

proudmommy: So, I just got home with my new 50mm/1.8 prime. I have to use it in manual focus, because of the technology of my camera. Any pointers? 3 years, 11 months ago [Web]
