go get it.. unless u want to sambar the Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 lens..

Encik rancang nak naiktaraf dari lens apa ye ?

haha.. no way.. from reviews i dont see any improvement over the tammy in terms of IQ

18-55 only..

Thinking of getting a tammy 17-50 + sb600 or nikkor f1.8 + sb900.. Any other suggestions..?

here's some food for thought. halfway through my holiday i got sick of taking photos and looking through a lens, and decided to leave the camera in the hotel room for the rest of the trip, and enjoying the sights with my own eyes.

=p i hope none of us here take DSLR's with us if we ever go on a holiday with our partners.

just saying.

I have no problems bring my DSLR during my vacations. In fact, I shoot lots of nice photos with it

luzzio: I have no problem with it too, in fact, that is the reason that i buy a dslr:)

Proclaimer: before we recommend you anything, i would like to know what is missing in your 18-55 that makes u wana change to tamron 17-50..or u just want to try the tammy lens?

Saw this one a while back.

Why live your life through a view-finder?

^ that is exactly how I decided to enjoy my trip for the rest of it.

Ok i'll stop with the photography philosophy here =p

If you obsess yourself with taking shots, then sure thing. Things have to be in moderation.

It doesn't mean that bringing a camera along on your trip = looking at everything through a viewfinder.

Who said you have to take a shot of everything?

I would like to try some constant aperture lens coz i like to shoot in low light conditions.. might add an external flash also if budget permits.. Hehe..

That's my point. i was obsessed and forgot how to simply enjoy sights. everything i saw... i tried hard to figure out angles, composition... it got exhausting.

I agree that it's all in moderation.

Just saying.

agree.
but there is one thing i dont really like
if you are out in a group for vacation or any outing
and you are the only one having dslr
your pic will be 20% and theirs will be 80%

sound like..i shouldn't worry bout wat lens i should bring for my future trip.
just travel light. with a 50mm & ultra wide.
and enjoy d vacation.

Haha Ive been known as the non-human photographer when I travel, so people dont ask me to take their shots. They have their own PnS to do so

The point of a vacatino is to enjoy it ma Not worry about what kind of shots you get. The only thing I try to chase now is sunset and sunrise Provided I am hardworking enough hahaha

LOLX...sunset and sunrise doesnt mean u are hardworking...is just mean you are awake at that time... =)

Usually I go vacation with my partner, it'll be my DSLR and my tripod and the two of us. I mostly take pics of us for memories. And usually never pics that don't have us inside.

Btw, I'm a D90 user too. My first post in the thread I believe.

welcome... where u go

Being awake at sunrise is hard work being at the right place at sunset is also hard work hahahahaha

why so stress? juz use ur d90 as PnS...don think of getting a perfect shot. Shoot as stress as you want when u r having a photoshoot. lol.. iw ould rly like to go vacation with my partner +DSLR..would be fun..

i agree too, taking photograph has to be moderate. it really irritates seeing the same guy taking pics non stop since beginning till the end (addition: bursting) in any occasion
flash also is kinda irritating in halls and dark places. few is ok... non stop is
