All those three lenses can be used to shoot sports and outdoors.

And it depends on what other lenses you already have. If you have the 17-50, 18-70, 18-105, it doesn't make sense to get the 18-270, 18-200 jack of all trades, master of none lenses because the range overlaps.

In my example, since I already have the 24-70, I'd supplement my lens with an ultra wide (14-24, 10-24, 11-16) and a telephoto (70-200, 70-300, 80-400, 150-500)

The catch is, you might be standing on a cliff or edge while shooting this so can't move any much further to the right... so... 

The pagoda's still too much to the left. Again rule of thirds need to come in play. Here's what I had in mind. There's still too much of the hill, but at least focal attention is on the pagoda now.

i'm kind of thinking to get me a D60

so anyone know what's the current street price now ?

thx guise

im using D60

Hi All,

I've just gotten myself my first DSLR this evening, a Nikon D60.

I almost make a decision to invest on D5000 but after weighting in alot of factors, especially the price, I think I can forgo Movie Mode, 7 point AF, articulate LCD (which is not side hinge) and the D90 sensor. All that for RM1k less is definitely worth it.

I'm sorta looking for some accessories but not too sure which is the best place to look for it in KL/Pudu.

3rd Party accessories also no problem.

1. Hand Straps (definitely 3rd Party)
2. Battery Grip (definitely 3rd Party)
3. LCD Protector (I guess only 3rd Party, don't seems to have what D90 have)
4. Flash (basic with variable angle will do, gonna use card board to diffuse the light or rice paper)

Need to get those item cheap and I might be prowling in the Garage sale for it.

Looking forward to get kimurastanley's gear: the Tamron lens and flashes. I know that without that lens, I can't do bokeh in a non Tele lens...

Shed some light, fellow Nikonian!

hi bro,
need some advice from u and all tammy 17-50 f2.8 user's.
i have got 3 buddies using this lense.
d 60 d 80 and d 90 coincidentally.
all of them complaint that tht
1. at times the lense just does not respond as in the body does not detect the lense (e)
2. the motor speed is very slow

i am in the midst of getting this lense but contemplating either tamron 17-50 or sigma 18-50.
i am told that sigma will be a better choice as its motor is faster and also batter sharpness compared to tammy.
please give your review.
hoping to get feedback from both tammy and siggy user's

thanking in advance.
Mixo

bro kimurastanley
thanks bro, appreciate it much.
will do a few more groundwork b4 deciding,
cheers

kimura..why don get nikkor 18200? is it budget problem?

guys
what memory card should i buy for my D40?
4GB typically how much for market rate?
any specific model i should get to make sure i get good memory card that won't slow my camera down when saving pic?

At f1.8/f1.4, i think bokeh is effortless with lens of such spec but it's a prime 50mm... would be better if it got the same range as my kit lens 18~55mm and got f-stop of 2.8 and lower(which is bigger aperture).

Saw a Tamron with that spec but the price easily could help me get another D60,

Anyway, I am going to do some serious shoots this Thursday and Saturday...hope the camera brings out some wonderful results!

I might want to get a prime lens. I am not very funded so I am considering 35mm F1.8G and 50 mm F1.8D, both below 1k. Which one will you recommend?

kimurastanley,
pls add me to d40 userlist..thanks!

I've got both the 35 and the 50 f1.8. To me the 35 f1.8 is more useful the 50mm is a bit too narrow for me.
