Dear Ts,
Pls add me in as D60 user.
Hope to learn and share more knowledge from all u guys/girls here

Dear all, need advice on flash.
im gonna get a sb600 ( that the close i can get due to budget constrain)
but the question is
1.shoudl i go for new ones or 2nd hand ones?

2.do they have a life span as in the bulb/or izzit lumen

3.how much would the bulb/lumen cost if i were to replace them?

from what i survey, new ones is abt 800 and 2nd hand on 400 onwards.
so the price difference really amaze me

cant find any decent ones.
all in not a very good shape.

yep most prolly will settle for a new one if cant get a good deal.
will wait till mth end

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

Added on May 25, 2009, 12:26 amhello bro,
my sincere wishes to you.
a good choice of slr to start in photography.
given choice of d5k and d60 with the price difference you made a smart choice especially if you plan to take this as a passion and not just hobby.

ps: just saw leica m8 and leica safar ltd edition .
its just pure sweetness. but after looking at the price i had to think thrice b4 even touching it!

good buy bro,
coincidentally just tested it yesterday, very fast motor.
imho its good lense for runway's wedding shoots.
offer good anti vibration too!
i envy you!

Guys here some sharing of pics from my last trip up north.
Please CnC. really appreciate it.

sharing some pics from my last shooting session.
guys please cnc . really appreciate it

really poisoned by 35mm f1.8!
anyone thatis using the lense?
care sharing some pics?
now deciding which one to get
35mm f1.8 or 50mm f1.4 need t test both b4 getting
but i got to know fr a source tht longer the focal length better the bokehness!
can someone clarify please?

in dilemma of getting 50mm f1.4 or 35mm f1.8.
i have not tried both but tried 50mm f1.8 quite a few times.
i mostly shoot potraits. and from my pasy experience i think 35mm would be more versatile for me as in certain time ''taking 2 step back'' just wont do with 50mm.
so here i stand humbly asking to be poisoned by more 35mm f1.8 shots.

will get by weekend.
so far ys quoted me at 800 for it and they have stock.
i need to get either one of these lense and an sb600.
and again here i humbly stand asking for advice on where to shop and a a price guide probably. i knw tht sb600 will cost exactly like 35mm but just hoping to a get a better deal if i take both item

same situation here. ahaha..
i was just worried the bokehness is not as good as 50mm f1.4
but after seeing the pics, i find it livin up to the nikkor expectation, and it fulfils my expectation too.
so without further a due, im snaking out in a while for survey, ( still wanna test shot and see the difference between both) then i will get the one that i like, ( and also the 400 price diff will be kept in mind) haha

bro, mind sharing the setting? 35mm i presume

bro my suggestion is to ge from uyer in lelong.
i got it from him too, bt i went straight to his shop.
its safer.
i'll give u his trader name shortly.
i u want.........the numb fr ys and jone im nt sure la bro.
btw found j one ownr was very rude to me.
so i did not buy from him.
i paid 800 instead of 790.bcoz i boght in another place
dont mind paying extra to ppl if they know how to treat u.
got myself sb600 and 35mm f1.8.
if just buy both j one cheaper
but plus together with the acc definitely the other place cheaper, save about 60bucks.

may i kindly shed some poison??
im so loving the 35mm, and sb600 is just what i needed.
next time i'll post diff usin built in flash and usin sb6

For now pls feast your eyes with these

like i mention in my post, im just sharing the pics to show the bokeh that it is capable of.
will shoot some and post..just got it, so lookin for the right time and moment for the shot

wah kent goh u're here too!
din know ure into photography.
btw askin here abt the nikkor 70 300 vr..
( the normal ones , not the f2.8 which will make me vomit blood)
i am looking into zoom lense for my next lense.
just wonderin with the zoom range up to 300 with vr,
will the shoot be sharp if lets sayi dont mount it on tripod?
sorry for the noobie question, i hv never used or experienced zoom lense b4.
purpose of me getting it is for runway/wedding shoots.

thanks in advance

project-o,alpha_company thankd for ur adv.
will take it into consideration when getting the lense later.
for now, more study o it and survey mania starts!

kent goh.
my advice,
d60 with 35mm f1.8.
u may need to spend up to 2.7 k but its worth it
or u get 2nd hand body and get the 35mm
