both A and S is almost the same

A mode = adjust your aperture and it will auto set a shuttle speed for u

S mode = adjust your shuttle and it will set aperture for u

landscape need very low aperture to make sure everything is clear and sharp and even get star effect at nights
(if you are new = high aperture means lower F like f5.6 - 1.2) ( low aperture means HIgher F like f10 -22)

Lower aperture in low lights will make shuttle delay time to capture more lights which is impossible to handhold shooting.

A tripod is a must for landscape shooting

U could skip the tripod but u must make sure shuttle is good enough for u to shoot without delay from shuttle.

any lower aperture setting will make higher delays on shuttle .

Landscape is very fun with tripod and a wired remote

I think this kind of hard decision only happen to new players. I would prefer to buy the body only and go for nice and new lens like 18-105 which is going at rm900 to 800 easy on secondhand markets.

Dunno why but i still prefer my 18-55 kitlens as a general travel photography but i cannot be a sniper on trip without a 200mm

does the 50mm front rotate during AF? anyone can tell ?
I tried the lens but i m not sure about this

my bad my bad

Added on November 14, 2009, 8:49 pmmy 85mm1:1.8 is superb in portrait of course but only good for portrait i guess because it was design as a portrait lens

i prefer a 50mm1.4 which can do portrait / low light shoots and general shoot

well maybe its because of my gf which fell in love with the 85mm at shop and made me end up taking the credit card out of wallet. i taken up this hobby also because of her. What will happen if your gf fall in love with her own portrait????? hehe

Just got my approval from GF to sell it away and get a 50mm instead

wow nice freaking good lens u got there, i was planning to get that but overspend in other lens and still staying at 18-55 VR for my general lens.
I like the 17 mm for landscape and the fix 2.8 aperture which means PORTRAIT AND LANDSCAPING = yea baby yea

well judging from your selections , i think u tend to shoot more portrait?

Best mm by some expert for portrait lens is from 50mm to 105mm
50mm is good enough with 1.4 or 1.8 which creates natural bokeh

18-50 f2.8 wont be able to do that kind of bokeh from 50mm1.8 because of the distance i think
85mm above should be still okay to accept the bokeh done by 2.8
Alot of portrait photog prefer to snipe their target from far away because they need the distance at 2.8 plus they want their target to feel relax and natural for not having a crazy photog shooting in front of her
if u wanna go for f2.8 there r few lens :-

nice zoom lens like 70-200 , 80-200mm (fix 2.8 zoomer)
nice prime lens like 180 mm 2.8
nice telephoto lens like 85mm 1.8 / 1.4
nice macro line that tend to be a bit sharp like 60mmf2.8 and 105 mm 2.8

So my choice if i were u , i would go for 18-105 and 50 1.8 ( cheap and the best but cant snipe like 55-200 do )

Wah SPM student can go for d300s already, nice
U get more As and maybe u can get D700

50mm with 2.8 is nice but .........the bokeh........so so ler

i m using the same thing too, yea the shop owner told me that the battery still good after 6 month no usage

i m asking because lens like 18-55 kit len not surpose to use a screw hood because the front will rotate when auto focus which make the hood in odd positions.

i have a extra 52mm screw hood that looks nicer than those rounded hood for 50mm

i think i got mine at rm70

fisheye during the Yamseng part is really nice, 70-200 of course better because can be a sniper for natural pics of the lead actor and actress.

Added on November 16, 2009, 7:12 pmcant say like that lar, a serious photographer dont really wait for the shot, they just have bump into some nice thing to shoot so camera have to be ready in off mode. But of course, with a proper gear bag and gears, u wont look like an amateurs trying to pose like a pro lol.

wah i did try travel with my 85mm tele last trip at melaka, i need to be like 3 to 4 blocks away to get a building pics

well, for new players, sell 18-55 and get a 18-105 VR (rm700++)

or

keep the 18-55 and get a 55-200 mm VR =(rm800 ++)

More solution of course but that 2 is the most basic upgrades

u still havent tell us what kinda lens u looking for ???
so many lens out there, how could someone suggest u something when u only tell em your budget?

AF is not an issue

most new lens from nikon are af-s and even third party brand like tamron is building alot of lens with build in motors

travelling with a non photog fren is not so nice actually
i feel bad for them as they wait for me setting the tripod and snapping for a good shot
Only a photographer knows how to enjoy the moment
