Kit lens enaf to take GT girls d~   

If you don't know what to buy, you probably need nothing.

alop..
need some help here
can you guys provide me
all type of lense can can AF with d60?
just give the name
and i will do my homework..

Guys, i nid suggestions here
shud i save up to buy 18-200 now, then save to buy 50 f1.4 or 50 f1.8 much much later?(very long cos mahal)
OR save to buy 18-200, then buy 35 f1.8 much earlier as dun nid save so much?
OR buy 35 f1.8 1st then only save for 18-200?

i really like to do portraits n bokeh shots now, so interested to get prime lenses,
but i dun have zoom lens, which will giv me problems if i travel
so not sure get all in 1 zoom lens 1st so can do all purpose shot
or sacrifice zoom shots to get great portraits n bokeh shots?

Extension tube ... yes .. teleconverter I don't think so. Teleconverter has elements but a extension tube is hollow. A telecoverter will add 1-stop to your aperture which means if your aperture is f 3.5 it becomes f7 and if f2.8 it becomes f5.6. The AF system generally can't handle apertures smaller than f5.6. Which is why teleconverters are not used with "slower" lenses that have smaller apertures.
Anyway I've tested the Kenko 25 tube with the 18-55VR and the 18-70. AF works and it goes much closer.

Any comment on both the Tamron 28-75 F2.8 and Tamron 17-50 F2.8?

Seems hard to find review for the 28-75 and both of it's price is almost same, wan to make a move to replace my kit lens 18-55.

yeah i understand now.. that's y teleconverters are used on f2.8 lenses..the big2 tele lens right?

Extension tubes decreases the MFD right? i guess it would make the subject bigger but the problem is that even if it's bigger, doing macro shots on insects get more difficult because we need to get close to them.

1. Does extension tubes decrease IQ?
2. Does ext tubes lower the light that gets into the lens?
3. What if i used ext tubes for the purpose of decreasing the MFD of 18105VR so that i can take pics of people/subjects much closer to them?

thanks for the answers.. so it means in the case of 18105, i shouldnt use either extension tubes (for prime lens) nor teleconverters (f2.8 tele lenses)

but in the post above, project-o said he used the kenko 25 tube on 1855vr and 1870 .. guess the downsides are more than the advantages ...

Which do you think is a better lens to cover a wedding event? Or maybe a SP AF 90mm F2.8?

Like say maybe the AF-S 35mm F1.8?

any Nikon-ians interested for TT session?? so envy those Alpha-ians always got TT session... 

ya... same to me... why not we make a TT session wit those tat wanna collect the silica gel from u?? would it be a good idea?? 

ya, i might buy one 

35mm f1.8 rm 790 at J One. with filter RM 820... compare 35mm with 50mm, this 35mm slight wide and short la.. mcm eyes/normal view.. compare to other brand, nikon 35mm more cheaper la..thats why very popular one.. they also got special flickr group u know..!!

Get it! I got it 2nd-hand from a shop in KB and its sweet for travelling light. Especially those no time for lens change. Only prob is indoors but pump up the ISO on your D40couple with VR and still get good enough pics. I took hundreds of photos inside churches of Milan with no flash.
Yup. I find VR indispensible for my 18-200mm, really can get up to 4 stops if handled properly! Unless of course you'll be doing tripod photography (which you'll need to turn off VR).

A question guys. I know there's the reverse mounting of the prime 50mm 1.8D to get almost "macro" (or Micro as Nikon calls it). And I only know bout the Nikon BR-2A 52mm Lens Reversing Ring. Shashinki.com selling at RM95 with shipping. Is there any cheaper alternatives? it's jsut a mount right? No need so close to RM100 what...

Those who doing this, how do you control the aperture opening? And can it be used with the 18-55mm D40 kit lens? If it does, I'll be able to save RM400  :

Thanks guys (and gals too).

Thast why is cheaper then canon 500D!

and yeah how come in my d60 menu under Set Up Menu there are no USB option to change either mass storage or ptp yea?
