I like the Sigmalux bokeh more than the Nikkor.

Here's a site for you to check out sample photo taken by different lenses.

Kindly sound your question here, I'm sure many of us will gladly help you out.

Get the D5000 if your budget allow, the ISO performance is so sweet and extra video function if you need it. Although no AF motor, but for me it's okay as mostly newer lenses comes with build in motor now.

Your D5000 shouldn''t be a big problem using ISO 3200 if needed. But I think ISO 1600 is good enough.

D5000 has the same CMOS sensor that the D90 using. So high ISO capability isn't much an issue.

You can use shutter priority mode and select the ISO range yourself.

Bro illegaldragon87 got the raynox, maybe you can drop him a pm.

Sold the raynox and make way for a fish eye.

If budget is not an issue, just go for the Nikon 18-200mm VRII.

Don't worry about the noise, a sample of ISO 800 from me.

How about Lake Garden?

Shutter speed determine how long the camera shutter unit open, the faster the shutter speed lesser light will be captured and vice versa.

Aperture control the Depth of Field of an image, wide open aperture like f1.2 gives very thin DoF, hence you need to be careful of your focus spot. Additionally, Aperture also can be adjusted to allow more or lesser lights travelling into the sensor unit.

ISO sensitivity determine how sensitive is the camera sensor in absorbing lights, hence the higher ISO allow the sensor to absorb more lights but will also lead to increment of noise.

All these 3 factors we have to adjust our own in order to produce the result that we really wanted.

I'll post this shooting event on the 1st page when the new thread is ready to go.

Depends on the situation, if it's indoor, pair it with a speedlight and you are good to go.

I think that should be the answer.

Shouldn't be a problem to join the outing just that I didn't put my name there yet. Now broke d lorh...no UWA le.
