What lens should I choice?

I have an Nikon D800. Even though It's a professional camera, I'm novice.
Besides, I have 3 lenses which are 24mm-70mm F/2.8, 70mm-200mm F/2.8 and 35mm F/1.4.

I enjoy large aperture since it could blur background. Although 35mm F/1,4 is professional which I learned from its terrible price, its blurred effect is not what I want.

So which lens should I choose?

ZEISS 50mm F/1.4?
SIGMA 50mm F/1,4?

PS: I felt reluctant if I spend a lot money but got something which I dislike.

Vertical Grips for the Nikon D300?

S, i'm looking to buy a vertical grip for my D300, as it stands, my options are limited (lets just say i can't get the Nikon MB D10),

so I'm left with

Meike
DSTE
(These are the only two "branded" third party grips i can find in the UK),
Pixel
Vivitar

or

Hahnel (Though if i had to out of Nikon or Hahnel, i'd get a second hand Nikon).

My problem is i heard the Meike is good, BUT, problems occur after about 6 months (go figure, it's the lowest knockoff), and the DSTE just looks to be the same but different name, i can get these for about 35 GBP.

Now, i heard some good thing about the "Pixel D10", which i can get from the US for about 60 GBP.
And i also heard some good things about the "Vivitar MB D10", which i can also get from the US for the same price.

But as far as my knowledge goes, that's it. Are the Pixel or Vivitar worth that bit extra? Obviously, the grip lasting a while is important, but the feel is important to me too? Any help?! Any other recommendations?

Battery life and camera age?

Just been wondering about something battery related.

Obviously, batteries lose power with age and become less effective. And given that I use, among others, a Sigma DP3 Merrill, I'm very familiar with poor battery life. I have four batteries in total, and now two of them (the original ones) are literally useless. They can't hold a charge, and the two which can will give me maybe 30 or 40 shots before packing it in. Luckily they're small and cheap to replace.

What I was curious about is whether there are other factors, like the connectors (if that's the word), or something else within the electronics, which also affect battery life.

I was checking out (with half a mind to buy; it was an extremely good deal) a very well used Nikon D3 last week, and I happened to notice that the battery life indicator was on "3", i.e. "pretty well used, gonna be time to replace it soon"). I'm guessing that it was the original battery.

Assuming I were to put a brand new battery in it, and run it through a few cycles, would it still provide the number of shots that it would have in a brand new D3 from 2007 (which, I believe, was hundreds and hundreds, even into the thousands, on a single charge)? Or will the age of the camera effect the performance of even a new battery?

I know some of you guys and girls still use D3s and cameras of that age - any experiences?

Is a telephoto lens necessary for a small wedding?

I'm renting equipment and want to save the bride as much cash as possible. I'm currently renting a Nikon d700 as well as a 24-700mm f/2.8g AF-S ED lens. I already own a wide angle and a prime lens.

Because it's a small wedding, do you think I need to rent a telephoto (70-200) lens?

Nikon D300 Slow Shutter Regardless of Shutter Speed?

Hi! I hope you can help me with troubleshooting this issue.

In an effort to better understand my camera (I know, I know, I'm buying a book soon but I need this problem solved As soon as possible) I started messing around when the Menu settings and now when I press down my shutter, it takes the picture VERY slowly. I only shoot in manual mode and no matter if the shutter speed is 60 or 8,000 - the shutter release is extremely slow. When I change the aperture and ISO settings or even my lens, it still has the same problem.

I have my camera on the Continuous Low setting but it still take pictures slowly. Changing it to Continuous High doesn't change anything either.

I'd like to troubleshoot further before I bring it into a camera shop because I'm almost positive this is an operator error. Any suggestions?
