QUOTE(heLLtuRt @ Sep 11 2009, 05:55 PM) lol.....then better take nikkor i guess around RM800 only, the cheapest prime lens with built in motor for Nikon... aren't there any cheaper prime lense that can autofocus on my d5000 body  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ how about this one "Nikkor 35mm F1.8G AF-S DX"? is it good? as for good or not, i'll say it's good for a lens this cheap but like posts earlier said, it depends whether the bokeh & sharpness satisfy u o not for me im disappointed with its bokeh, so now ikat perut longer to get the AFS 50mm... |

QUOTE(project-o @ Sep 11 2009, 07:10 PM) If you can afford the Nikkor AF-S 50mm f1.4 I suggest you test the Sigma 50 f1.4 first before buying. I tested and liked it but I decided to go for the Nikkor 35 f1.8 as a cheaper alternative. Sigma got 50mm oso?  never seen it b4, i only knew about the 30mm price same as Nikon 50mm AFS? from the your words, u r saying Sigma IQ is better? |

QUOTE(project-o @ Sep 11 2009, 07:37 PM) Price of the Sigma is slightly higher (around RM 100-200) at around RM 2000 than the Nikon. Yes... I feel the Sigma IQ is better which is why I suggest you test this one first to compare. Anyway it is pretty big too. went Sigma website earlierhttp://www.sigmaphoto.com/lenses/lenses_al...54&navigator=17 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM the lens jz enter market not long rite? if local price around RM2k still ok, cos at 1st i convert the USD730... how's the AF speed compare to Nikon? but even extra RM100-200 still difficult la i oredi gonna to have hard time convincing my dad buy the AFS 50mm, add budget like overdoing it n harder still is to convince my dad 3rd party brand can be better than Nikon  |

VERY big difference from SB600 lor Di866 is as powerful and as good as SB900, some say better but its low price is due to it is 3rd party brand if u wan performance of SB900 but cant afford it, go for Di866 if u dun trust 3rd party brand, then go for SB600... |

i still negotiating with my dad to get me the 50mm f/1.4 AF-S >.<
really wan to get it, wish me luck guys!  @project-o i tested the Sigma 50mm, n it is really huge n heavy heavier than kit lens... the filter size so big, 77mm optics i cant really say which is better, cos limited time n subject to test but i feel then Nikon AF-S 50mm AF speed is faster so i still prefer Nikon This post has been edited by General_Nic: Sep 15 2009, 03:02 PM |

QUOTE(raptorclans @ Sep 15 2009, 04:00 PM) icic... heard bout it from my fren too... i have 2 frens wif speedlites, one wif a Di866 and the other wif a SB-600... I'm planning to try these 2 more before deciding... nothing beats trying the real thing~ then wat is holding u back from getting SB900? the only things holding me back from the SB-600 are the specs (as compared to the Di866) and also lack things I'm use to like of diffuser & bounce card~ *pricetag i assume  |

QUOTE(gnome827 @ Sep 16 2009, 03:12 PM) rite sifu really need ur help on ma issue.... having this both models as mentioned above in ma mind, about 1/2 hour ago i went to selangor photographers 'duty free' shop at pertama complex. the expensive price tag is coz of its body, so wat if its kits lens zoom is lens is less than normal cams?it was ma 1st time holding such bulky camera in ma hand n having no knowledge before (pratical i mean....).. wat strike me most is... MONEY!! anyway the offer seem to be good... and i have few thing running in ma mind, wic despreeatly neeed advise or suggestion for... Worry 1 why do tey call te shop 'duty free'? are tey selling te geniune stuffs with local geniune warranty? Need Suggection D60 / 1000D without bag and MMC card - RM 1950 D5000 without same above - RM 2700 Wat u guys think on the price m getting? reasonable or way reasonable? Doubt 1 Why pay high for a camera wic only can zoom few metters away? 3-4 meter.. the both model wic i and the shop fella tested can only zoom miserably with its standard lens kit.. if m not mistaken its 18mm - 55mm... Possiblity 1 can i buy the body itself and fix a diffrent len... reason is i do not want to have closer zooms... interested in landscaping photography n i need good focus n zoom... te shop fella suggested to buy lens of model 70 - 300mm diffrently tat cost 900 to 1000+.. Need sugestion pls recommend a gd lens tat can focus far an ideal for landscaping photography + normal photography... wide lens can be used for normal shot? wer can i get cheap lens, second perhaps... pls pls have me ur comments n suggestion as i need to buy before end of tis week... goin for place wic has wonderful n marvelous land scaping n buildings.... the main thing is wat DSLRs can do wat basic cams cant do, that is full control of settings n y u nid big zoom for landscape photography?? the reason y kit lens zoom is limited is cos for daily normal photography wide lens is the 1 needed if u really wan big zoom, n jz wan to buy the body(only D5000 got sell body only at around RM2.5k), get 18-200, cos its like 1-11x optical zoom 70-300 zoom is bigger but u can do very wide shots at 70mm, no way u can take group shots or have difficulties getting whole landscape in the pic My suggestion, 1) buy D5000 body only + 18-200mm VRII lens (RM2.5k + RM2.7k = RM5.2k) or 2) buy D5000 with kit lens + 55-200mm VR lens (RM2.7k + RM900 = RM3.6k) or 3) buy D3000 with kit lens + 55-200mm VR lens (RM2k + RM900 = RM2.9k) dun get the 70-300mm cos it has no VR VR is like anti-shake mechanism on normal cams got 70-300mm VR but that cost RM1.9k... hope this helps  QUOTE(project-o @ Sep 16 2009, 09:53 PM) Can also try the "tupperware" diffuser. It should help to soften the light. u mean the "mangkuk" diffuser? This post has been edited by General_Nic: Sep 16 2009, 11:22 PM |
