17-50.

for myself, i already have the 17-50 and 50mm 1.8.

now considering either Nikkor 85mm 1.8 or Tamron sp-90 2.8

1750 but must be the VC version..

dont forget the crop factor of d90..

35mm = 52.5mm = normal lens only (said by kenrockwell)

wat do u wanna shoot?

yea i know 18200 is quite nice...buti already have 18105...don feel like spending 2.6k for juz the 105 to 200mm..any reason why u say 18200 is a better choice?

yea i know the crop factor.. 1750 is damn sharp for me...but the build quality concerns me... hows the quality compared to 18105 kit lens?

the build quality is nice.. quite solid in my opinion

i wanna let go of my 18105.. anyone interested. bought in september 2009

why arh?
because 1) QC 2) AF-S
else its a good buy! perhaps its my luck, ive tried the older ones (1750) and had focusing problem! pretty scared liao

d90 v5? very fast...

i have few questions...
best brand for uv filter beside hoya?
the price for d90 battery?
good tripod for rm300 budget?
worth sell 10-105 then buy 18-200vrII?
new nikon dslr bag (not 50anni) how much?

thank you...

how is the quality between 35mm F1.8G and 50mm f1.8D??? which do you prefer?

yalor..thts why the quality concerns me..but i want bokeh and fast lens. and i don rly like primes.. I guess i have to try my luck..

B+W best brand. price for batt RM150 plus delivery. good tripod may defer. ofcourse the best would cost more than 300. suggested to save to get better ones. rest cant answer.. sry

get the one with 009*** batch. less reported problem

ohh...finally v5...congratz...though i am late...

Currently I'm using Tamron 17-50 VC so far no focusing problem even in low light compare to my old Tamron 18-270 VC. IQ wise very sharp except 50mm focal length obviously soft @ f/2.8 but no problem at f/3.5.

I can say Tamron 17-50mm VC is really worth the money. A lot of users saying that the VC is not necessary for 17-50mm focal length. My answer is NO, the VC is very useful even in wide focal length. I can shoot at 1 sec with handheld @ f/2.8. Can non-VC do that? I don't think so..

The VC activation is a bit slow compare to VR and OS. It takes about 0.3sec to activate the VC.

ooo lighter u sold ur 18270 and got urself a 1750VC..nice..

If you're finding a 50mm F1.8, let me know your budget.
I have a spare unit to let go...

1750VC if you want a versatile indoor lens with decent bokeh.
18-200(get the old version is good enough, anyhow it's the same VR II mechanism) if you want something which will be easy for you, but willing to sacrifice a little on the sharpness and IQ.
35mm F1.8, my personal opinion, not a lens i will get. Tested it, didn't like it. I feel my 50 F1.8 is way better.


85mm F1.8 if you intend to shoot more portraits, SP90 if you wanna do more to macros.


The old 1750 was not as good as the new one. Try it out and you will see the difference. Even the overall build quality feels better.


IQ wise should not have major differences.
But for me, i prefer my 50mm even on crop factor.


Get the 1750 VC bro, i think that's the best choice u have now apart from Primes.
I'm looking at that too, just that the moo factor slowing things down...

that's the thing.

sp-90 - macro+portrait (super sharp). slow af.

85mm - f/1.8, faster AF since it's not a macro lens.

decisions.

Good to know, I was looking at the 17-50 a while back too, but reading about the focusing issues put me off. Can't agree enough about the VC too. Having it on a f/2.8 allows you to handhold in even more crazy situations that you wouldn't even bother to try on a non-stabilised lens, and how can more options possibly be a bad thing?

Sticking this in here because I can!
