AF-D 50mm f/1.8

f/1.8 compared to f/1.4 a lot of difference eh? The one under RM500 is also without motor right? What's the keyword for lenses with and without motor?

Btw, I think I'm changing my body soon.. After I learn the basics and after Nikon's workshop..

AFS 35mm f1.8 about RM800

AF-S is with build-in motor

AF-D is auto focus capable using in camera body motor

pls check 1st page post for technical terms meanings

a good lens to go with my d60..

Owh my bad.. Didn't read all the contents of the 1st page.. Thanks ya

Sorry but i'm a bit blank on this.. D3000 is compatible with what kind of lens? AF-D and AF-S only?

As long as Nikon F mount the it should be alright to mount on. (correct me if I'm wrong.)

But the matter is, what function do the camera support for the specific lens.

For example, AF-S has SWM motor in it, so it will auto focus on entry level body that lack of an AF motor.
While the AF-D lens don't come with the SWM but it provide distance scale to the camera, so you can see the estimated focus area on your camera's viewfinder.

So to find an ideal lens for D3000, best will be the AF-S lens as it have SWM motor, some with VR and so on.

something that i find it so useful now

ooh... sounds good... compared to perhaps lowepro? darn, slr bags are so expensive... i used one bag for 8 years wif my old film slr

this is my 2nd bag after stock one so cannot say anything... jz find it quite comfortable to carry around with body + kit lens + 18200 lens + 50mm prime lense + cleaning kit + flash + remote + charger camera & flash + spare battery for flash & body
if put laptop also, too heavy but still considerable comfort...
btw diz is my back
