Easy to find? You mean like Maybank ATM machines? Ohh ... not good ... not good.

my old sigma 1770 has weird distortion at 17mm too ....the guys at the edge looks like some monster haha..
i think 11mm is too wide for me to use in order to get a good composition, 16~18mm may be good enuf. MFD matters to me more than the focal length..
how nice if 50mm MFD is 30cm hehe

I found it harder to find the 67mm

Shops tend to stock the larger ones. Oh wait, might have gotten it confused. Is 77mm the de facto filter size for Nikon pro grade lenses or is it 72mm?

77mm is very common... and yes it's the size for the pro grade lenses.

Yes it is. El 77mm filter es el standard de facto por todos de la lensas pro del Nikon :)Ironically somebody just mentioned it to me the other day, without even me asking.

Ahh yes, then the 77mm is common. Which mean the R72 is available. And so you can poison yourself silly with it.

d300s is available already...thing i like most about it is the ok button in the directional pad like d90...

lol...and it cost rm5.9k in SSK...

well...i dont know if there are significant changes in the low noise at high iso or other improvements in terms of image quality..

but i know a D300 imo isnt worth the extra bucks to upgrade from a D90. it is basically the same thing with different body. High iso performance and dynamic range is better on the D90 at dxo. The only advantage imo is the weather sealed body which is great (but heavy) for outdoor/wildlife photographers.

Glad that nikon fixes the ok button on the D300s though..as compared to the button on the D300. yup. 5.9k..minus d90 body 3k = 2.9k

if i got a d90 body i can get a few 2nd hand lenses..hehe.. maybe tokina 11-16 + a prime or zoom..or the older af-d 80-200 f/2.9 push pull.

.. thats what you like most about D300s ??

hmmm...D300s out ady?? i thought they say will release at sept 13??

I thought the 51 AF Point on d300 is one of the biggest advantage over d90?
Correct me if i'm wrong... noob mah.

Hi,

I just bought Nikon D90, and now I'm intrested to buy Flash, but Im a bit confused to choose between sb600 or SB28, I have limited budget..

Go with the SB600. The SB28 is really really old and no TTL for dSLRs.

On a trip to the zoo, say hello



More on the National Zoo, click here

hmm..i nearly bought the d300 before landing a d90 to myself (i bought d90 before testing it hahahh).....

IMHO, the attractions in d300 is
1) 51 AF points with 15 crossed sensors! (tried the 51 points and its AWESOME!)
2) better grip and size (it can be tiring too)
3) faster machine (6fps IINM, larger buffer)
4) better metering

however, the price and video in D90 caught my attention. alto i hardly use my video (only less than 5 videos thus far) but hello, that's the thing now in dslr hahha...
if D300 is RM500 more exp i will grab it adi but its 1k+ ....

(ps: noob like me had some misfired AF with D90, thanks to 1 cross sensor heheh). canon 7d introduced a very brilliant AF mechanism with the ability to contorl the size of the AF points which i find it really useful...as well as zone AF....hope to see this in the upcoming nikon ....

(canon and sony launched a lot of stuffs lately oh~)
