I second the 18-105mm with Vr.
Cheers

i went to some shops in bukit bintang, most of them are out of stock.
I saw 1 in sunway pyramid but they are charging 3.3k.
Pricing is way too high.
If anyone know which shop are charging reasonable price and still have stock on hand, pls do tell us here.
i'm planing to get 1 by this week as i have ppl from kl returning to my hometown so i can ask them to help me buy.

shashinki.com i guess?

Amcorp mall? I know that shop there do sell them at relative lower price than most shop in KL area, though bit far.

Either that, or online through Shashinki.com

No stock atm and no freebies

can we negotiate with shashinki?
too bad that the pricing isn;t the cheapest yet there are no freebies

Just afraid stock running out

so i can stop there at Taman Jaya lrt?

can2

noobie questions for the pros...can i use a normal SLR lense with D80 or any nikon DSLR?

Yes , you can mount any lens into D80 provided that the Lens mounting is Nikon mounting.
But one thing you must know , AIS lens couldn't meter with D80 which means all the shots taken must use in Manual mode.

d80 will accept almost all lens except those intruding into the focal panel area and also, some functions on old lens might not work on d80 like manual aperture ring. Currently using 28 - 70D lens from my old slr.

28-70mm f2.8D ?

Anyway just to share a short story here.
As I'm going to upgrade sooner or later , I posted a post in a thread saying that I'm letting go. Here comes a buyer , ask me on whether the lcd has minor or many light scratches and this and that , to cut that short , the offer price is at 1k and if I agree , I need to wait until next month for his salary.

Come on I thought to myself , 1k is not a big amount.
Why would I even bother this kind of bugger at first ?

They really think everything that's used should have half price from the original price.
BTW , this story is not for the first 4 pmers who Pm me and He's using a D40x btw.
I dont want to disclose anymore but if you would like to know for sure I could tell you.

Added on November 20, 2008, 8:34 pmJust goggle about the 28-70mm and I found that yours might be the 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 edition.
The not-so-new 28-70mm is also a D lens, F2.8D.

Anyway , I have 28-80mm from the F55 days back aswell.

Yea. 28-70 f3.5-4.5D. Newer one back from the time using f601. Sharp sharp~

I pray I can get my kit back soon. Damn la nikon wanna charge me for defect on their goods. Blame me say careless.

So how much actually you're planning to let go andy if you don't mind me asking...i'm also looking around for good offers..currently planning to get a new set...but who knows..if the deal is good..might get a second hand one instead

Off-topic : For sure I'm letting go lower than a new unit , why dont you offer me instead ? You might able to save up from here and get a lens with the same price you bought a new unit.

I'm lucky I choose D80 and dint fall into the white camp.

guys..need help ! my default lens have prob.. whenever i zoomed in .. the F-Stop appear like this > F- - .. AF also dont work anymore .. anybody does have the same prob ? help....

F-- refers to the lens is not detected by the body.
It could be the lens is loosen at the mount there , try turn the lens mount in either way , it'll solve it.

i tried it then it works back to normal but it seems whenever i let my hand go the same probs happen..sighh ...i think the lens mount got loosen..can i send it to service ?

yes.. of course u can, dear...

I faced the problem before as well. But when I unmount and mount back, it solves the problem. Sometimes need several attempts.

Try tightening the screws around the mount, carefully. And clean the contacts also. Might be dirt on the contact.

hey bros out there, i heard that NIKON D80 almost out of stock..
im lookin for two new nikon d80...which shop can give best price or recommend me which shop to buy? cant wait to buy..b4 its running out of stock..

You're from Sabah ? Too bad. If you don't mind posting, you can always PM me regarding D80

Me either , I'm letting go my beloved-D80's too.

I'm not letting go but I got ways to get brand new unit

im a sabahan...but currently stay in KL...
im lookin for 2 new bodies
..

They got stock but not bundled like shops does.

but the price is sligthly higher than other shops...thanks for tellin me.

No probs. Got lots of shooting friends got their gears from there.

latest news from j-one
there is no stock of d80 now.
and if even they have stocks.
it is sold at rm2900 body+kit lens and rm3050 with accessories.
it becomes more expensive than last time.
how could it possible
sad.

The stock still got as I said. Just some seller tend to push up the price as stock running low.
I still can get it. RM 2,850 for kit set.

wow!good
may i know which shop seling 2850?i am desperate for it?i am going to buy it this thursday.

anyone know which lens tamron 18-200?
i asked a shop just now.he said no more kit lens,so he match a 18-200 tamron for me.i ahve no idea what lens is it AF18-200 mm

---

Added on November 25, 2008, 5:33 pmfrankly said,if i am so unlucky that there is no cheap stock of D80 and left over those RM3300 D80 body with kit lens.should i consider them?
or should i move on to another model?

If RM 3,300 I'd rather get D90

i think i found the tamron lens mentioned by the shop
comparing
Tamron AF 18 - 200 mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD IF
and
Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 VR

may i know what is the difference?since i know nothing about lens

Different in term of VR, zoom length as well as maximum aperture at maximum zoom length

Whatever you do GET the Nikon 18-105Vr lens, it has Vr.
I really wouldnt get the 18-200mm Tamron or Sigma, these lenses produce Bad Colours!
You wouldnt need the extra zoom anyways as these lenses dont have Vr.
Get a D80 Body only and a Nikon 18-105Vr..and you are good to go.
Btw: You could get a used/new Nikon for Rm900.00..as this lens is offloaded when buyers get it with their D90.
But do check this lens for sharpness etc...

Cheers

Hi all,

Just wanna ask you guyz sumthing.
I have a D80 with a SB-600 speedlight.
And I would like to use the SB-600 off the camera.
I tried some settings and finally I manage to do it.
But with both build in flash and SB-600 fired together.
Is it possible for me to just fire SB-600 speedlight only and the build in flash does not fire?

Thank you.

At the commander mode, TTL flash off it

Thanks KTCY, will go back later and try.

Hrm, just wondering. My friend had a sb800 and I tried to commander the flash but it does not work unless I use the pop up flash to sync. This was also mention by Thom Hogan. Any one ever sync commander with sb800 without the pop up flash?

You must use the pop up flash to trigger Nikon CLS flashes wirelessly. If you don't want to use pop up flash, the other alternative would be to use the
SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander Unit that sits in the hot shoe.

Thanks for all the info,
besides,VR,zoom length,max and min aperture that showed from the lens,

i am also worried the colors,the shaprness that mentioned.Those are not stated in the lens spec and i would need some help from you experinced photographer.

So, even with d80's commander, also need pop up to sync. Hrm. Weird.

Why so weird about ?

No idea. Just feel weird. But not a big problem. =D Just feels like flash trigger. Thats just me.

happy shooting.

Foto Selangor no more selling this model. Just go there today. They said discontinued already. Don't want to buy D90?(They poison me! ) I said,I was just asking. If all goes well, my bro said he wants to buy it in January/February. Either this or D90 he said

I don't see any news of d80 being discontinued. Well, d90 is good also if you do fully utilize its extra capability for recording. =D

Good luck.
