[QUOTE="Roshan, post: 128266, member: 13428"] Hello everyone! I need some help here. I'm from Nepal and I'm planning to get either a D600 if the dust/oil issue no longer exists or a D800. I'm into film too so I was wondering if Nikon 85mm 1.8g is a good lens for shooting video? How does the 85mm 1.8g manual focus ring operates? I've been reading that Zeiss lenses are the way to go for shooting video but I can't afford that much and seeing dxomark tests and photozone tests I want to have a Nikon 85mm 1.8g. Even taking still photographs I prefer manual focus. You may ask, "Why don't you go to a shop and check out yourself?". Well I live in Nepal and it's not that possible here.
