hi guys, i have a few questions to ask. i might consider upgrading to d90, just wanna ask if the kit lens nikkor 18-105 is good for landscape ? in terms of colour, sharpness, distortion, build ? or i should just buy the body only and buy a better lens ? if i buy d90, i'll buy a 50 1.4 for portrait and sp90 for macro. i just want a good recommendation for all in one lens or landscape lens. my budget would be RM2k for this type of lens.

16-85 is way better and sharper. But price is not cheap. 2k+
Comparing a proton with ferrari ? doh.gif
35mm f/1.8 is nothing if you play 35mm f/2 before sleep.gif

2k huh ? if the lens is way better and sharper, i think its worth the money right ?

QUOTE(@meno @ Sep 24 2009, 11:10 AM)
Dun think so much d, get a D90 kit, and sell me the beercan and 16-105... brows.gif
Cobra too if price is good.

haha, i love my 16-105, sharp lens can match with CZ1680


QUOTE(chewlf @ Sep 24 2009, 02:06 PM)
Hi, I owned 16-85mm. Bought my D90 body then bought 16-85mm after that. This lens is sharp and has additional 2mm wider.

Check my flickr for more photos.

hey guys
rmb few days ago, i asked how to host panorama images online?
i found a way. I used the service provided by gigapan. only thing is i have to upscale the images to 50MP den only it'll work.

so, see the results here - Panorama + HDR shots of Cameron Highlands

user posted image

Comments welcome!

it looks like a normal landscape shot to me, i dont see any HDR effect. just my opinion

i have no idea what is the shutter count sleep.gif but the seller say its like new.
i hope its not a scam, but amazon is trustable compared to ebay. if its a scam, i think they will compensate.

yeah.....this sounds like too good to be true la
bro, u sure the seller didnt create many dupe accounts n giv good comments to himself ah?
*
comments seems to be fine, u know when ppl create dupe accounts, their comments are usually the same plus the first feedbacks he got was dated 1 year or even longer. he is a consistent seller, i've done all the research before buying.

u can have a look if u want
