btw, get a flash first.. either 3rd party cybertik mz45 or nissin or nikon sb600 which is more costly.

the 17-50mm tamron is worth for the money.

Though shooting at f2.8 in the zoom range would be my choice...

VR kitlens

never see the performance before..
of coz f2.8 will be better

yeah...me going to get SB600 since many ppl recommended...


maybe i can start shooting and then post up the pics and ask what went wrong with my shots...
boy oh boy.... now very excited dee....hehe...

alpha dude,
can post some pics with tamron lens that u bought? and maybe post pics using the normal kitlens...
i wanna see the difference between 18-55 kitlens vs 17-55 f2.8 tamron...

thanks...

a good flash is a good investment....u can see a lot of diff especially indoor shot..

LOL. There will be huge difference between these two lenses. You can't compare them both and of course the f/2.8 fare better.

Nikon D60 Kit definately come with 18-55 VR,unless they change it and sell cheaper price

please read previous pages lar .. Nikon made three 18-55 lens.

1. AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED
2. AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II
3. AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR

NEW STOCK of D60 from NIKON MALAYSIA has the no.2 lens.

OLDER STOCK BEFORE D5000 came out has the VR lens.
NEW STOCK about a few weeks before D5000 came out has EDII version.
D5000 now has the 18-55 VR lens version.

Price of dslr has risen but still can get the new stock of D60 under RM2k. Just to remind everybody, this bag comes with a very spacious Leather Nikon Professional sling bag.

What's the difference between the ED II and the older?

alpha.. u r correct.
i purchased the new d60 w/ kit lens which is exactly the same pic u posted.
i dunno what is ED II means? better? lagi baik? or market strategy from nikon?

oh, cant imagine Nikon change the kit lens for D60..
May be the cheaper price of the lens is compensated by the more pricey leather bag, so the price is still the same

need to google yourself but from what i've read ED II is better than ED.

but from what i've read in kenrockwell's review, VR has the same performance with ED II except when shooting between 1/2 and 1/30 of a second. then VR makes a difference.

please refer hto the link below:

I would rather choose a better lens than a leather bag.

d60 with 18-55 ed 2 price cheaper rm50 compare to 18-55 vr

ED II first introduced with D40, while ED comes with D50. if u see thoroughly the lens, i think the design/pattern is lil bit different.

btw, never shoot with D50 + ED before,so i cant comment anything bout the quality. 2 cents
