Hi guys...

Just jonied the D90 club this weekend... However, I suspects the shop sold me an underwater unit coz all the manual/guide are in Japanese. Is there any way to confirm this? using the serial#.

Pls advise.

P/S love the camera though... my 1st dSLR... hehe

Check the warranty card. If local set, it should written NIKON MALAYSIA.

according to him, DX lens got certain F open in order to be sharp. like 50mm F1.8, it wud be sharp at F3 - 4. but with FX lens, it even sharp at F2


Added on March 2, 2010, 3:37 am
do u see my name on the list? brows.gif

You got my point wrong. the AFD 35mm f2 is sharp even at f2 while the AFS 35mm f1.8 I don't feel sharp even at f2.8.

FX and DX don't really determine the sharpness. It's the lens actually.

Please correct me if I wrong but 50mm f/1.8 sharp at f2.8 onwards even on DX body.

Hi all,
New to this photography world and decided to buy the NikonD90 as my first DSLR, is it a right choice? Need some advise and help on this:-
  a) Should I change the kit lens to 18-200 nikon VR?
  b) What is the selling price for this in Penang that accept credit card with 0% installment?
  c) Should I consider to get a used one first? and upgrade to the replacement model of D90, I beleive there will be one soon. smile.gif
  d) What are the free gift that come with the camera? How to know that the set is original and not AP set.

Any order model that I should consider other than this D90? How abt Canon EOS500D or the upcoming 550D?

thanks

1. 18-105 good to go. 18-200 too soft for my liking.
2. Credit card most shop charge 2% handling charges. I doubt there is any shop in PG will not charge you UNLESS they already included in the selling price tongue.gif
3. Don't wait, just buy.
4. NIKON MALAYSIA WARRANTY.

u sold it for what lens?


Added on March 9, 2010, 1:34 am

better way in terms of sharpness but no VR and shorter range..

18-200VRii - a bit lower in terms of sharpness.. and lower colour contrast, but versatile..


Added on March 9, 2010, 1:42 am

but then again...sharpness wise... nothing beats a prime lens.. a 50mm 1.4 or 85 1.4 is superbly sharp...
*
A bit lower ? It's not usable at all from 130mm onwards sleep.gif
Well, at least to me. Way too soft.
Sorry, maybe is my eyes can't tolerate with that.

how much sharper a 85mm 1.4 is? anyone ???

i find 85mm f/1.8 is not as sharp as 50mm f/1.8 at wide open....

below using 85mm f/1.8 shot at f/2.2

85mm f/1.4 is very sharp. Imagine with 77mm diameter drool.gif.

I used to own 2 x 85mm f/1.8. I find sharpness at f/2.8 and above.

For 50mm 1.8, same thing. f2.8 and above. But 50mm f/1.4, sharpness start at 2.2 brows.gif

Actually, before SB-900 come out, people use SB-800 for birding.
So, basically, as long as your flash charges fast enough, it's fine tongue.gif

The 200mm is plain bullshit , at least for me.
