AF Problem Nikon D90 with Nikon 50mm F/1.4D and Nikon 85mm F/1.8D

Back before I acquired my Nikon D90 I always put my trusty 'bokeh factory' Nikon 50mm F/1.4D or Nikon 85mm F/1.8D on my Nikon D70. The bokeh was amazing and the picture was always clearly sharp even though I set the aperture wide open at F/1.4 or F/1.8. But on my new Nikon D90 most of my pictures that have been taken with both lenses (with object more than 4 metre away) was not as sharp as the one that had been taken with my previous Nikon D70. Sometimes it back focus or front focus. My two bokeh factory lens is collecting dust now since I have my Nikon D90. I miss my Nikon D70.


The last photo of my trusty Nikon D70.

First Picture Taken By Nikon 18-105 VR


This is my first picture taken by Nikon 18-105 VR lens. The lens was at 18mm and shutter speed at 1/8 second. Yes, VR really works, I love it. Take a look at the hand of the lady with the purple scarf, it's a little bit blurry because of the slow shutter speed but overall the picture still sharp!

K-Lite Codec Pack Make My Windows 7 Crash



I was trying to play a flac (Free Lossless Audio Codec) extension file by using my Windows Media Player, but Windows couldn't played it. It turns out that Windows Media Player doesn't support that extension. So I downloaded the latest K-Lite Codec Pack Full version. After I installed the software it was ok, and I can play all my flac file without problem. After I reboot the OS, my Windows 7 hang, it just showing a blank screen without anything. But after I remove the K-Lite Codec Pack (enter the safe mode) my Windows 7 can start normal again.

I then back to free-codecs.com, the site on which I download the K-lite, search the codec for the flac file only, installed it and it works like a charm on my Windows Media Player. The software is called CoreFLAC Decoder 0.4 and Encoder 0.3.
