What does all out mean? Does it mean 6K ringgit Nikon F2.8 nano nano lens? 

Yup ... but I think it will be bloody expensive and probably hard to find as well.

EDITED: sorry for the mistake..i didnt notice. thanks for pointing it out Sp00kY

It's not like that at all actually. Tamron DO NOT YET produce lenses with high-speed & silent autofocusing motors like HSM (Sigma), SWM (AF-S Nikon), SSM (Sony), USM (Canon).

There's basically two types of built in motor, Ring-type and Micro.
-- Ring-type is normally found in large-aperture and super telephoto lenses.
-- Micro is used in more compact lenses. Tamron lenses which have built in motor all use the micro type motor which is slower than the internal bdoy motor. It is also noisier.

Example:

Ring-type motor - Nikon AF-S 17-55mm f/2.8
Micro-type motor - Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 (A16NII - model number which indicate the built in motor version)

Yes the range of Tokina 1116 if compared to Sigma 1020 is limited but maybe that is why the IQ is better than the Sigma. A DX normal wide at 18mm is definitely not enough, ask any who does weddings or events.

Lets say you have a group photo and you dont have enough space to move backwards...what will u do to take the whole group in your shot? UWA.

To put a bride and groom in a short distance away from my camera so that they are clearly seen in the pic and at the same time have a wide scenery...this aint possible with even the tamron 1750. not wide enuff...

Yeah, I go shooting with a friend or two..this aint rambo where i can just shoot alone, i need backup..

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

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..

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~)

awesome timing and framing..love it...

I was expecting an IR shot from u before the pic loads hehehe..
WB a bit off...slightly cold (bluish)...just my 2 cents.

nice man!! tapi aku masih lagi menunggu infrared picture dari u.. best!

spam spam!


Nikon D90, Tamron 18-270@130mm - Aperture Priority 1/320s f/11 ISO200

comment and critique are welcome!

lol, i saw that purple thingy, din realized it until u said it ...
blue tint that i mentioned can be seen at the mouth/nose area.. just my noob comments and personal preference...i saved a copy and did some editing ...nice pic..hope u dun mind me saving it:)

I owned an 11-16 Tokina months ago. Its great. Then i fell in love with Nikon 12-24 (and hated 11-16 end to end) and i live happily ever after

I thought that bluish purple tint on that yawning lion is natural.

yupp i agree...its very subjective and boils down to personal preference ...WB is just a reference, as long as u like it..

i prefer something like that:


None the less, a good shot can be PP to anything, urs is a sharp and good one I realized that you shot it at 300mm f/4...what lens were u using?
70-200??:

zio : AFS 300mm for howmuch?

New D90 user and first time post photo. 

580 EX II can be mount on nikon cameras ke?? 

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.

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

used D90 body around Rm2.5k, phottix batt grip around rm150, 18-70mm nikkor rm800-900, 50mm f/1.8 rm300, sb-600 rm400-600

used price dat i surveyed.

if there's any hint of "it". lemme ask, best price?
 

Are you sure that price are for "these days"? They are way too low I guess? 

Yeap, even the D90 body cost around RM3k right now

shutter count?
conditions?
reason for selling?
