QUOTE(jloi @ Mar 10 2010, 08:46 PM) i think d90 kit lens (18-135mm, f3.5) + flash (built in or speedlight) will do..or if u aim for more zoom then can get 18~200mm lens..or get d tamron 17~50mm, f2.8..wider than kit lens 1mm and f2.8..i using this lens and is very good for most kind of shooting d5000 come with kit lens? hmm sound like worth it..coz new 1 with kitlens cost around 2.6~2.7k..i guess lol i dont want long long kinda lenses the 17-50 sounds good compare to 18-135 or the 18-200 longer lenses will be a trouble when a place is full of people |

QUOTE(TheWandererX @ Mar 14 2010, 02:32 PM) The 15-85 would be better, though not much has been said about it, so we have no idea how it performs compared to the previous 17-85 IS it replaces. The 24-105 is too wide for an APS-C frame, and even I struggle at 18mm with the noob kitlens. It's your choice, you should mount both lenses and see the difference in range. It'll help you make up your mind. It's definitely okay. You will save a lot in the process as IINM, D80 kits (2nd hand) are going for RM2k+. Correct me if I'm wrong. The D90 improves quite a lot, but if price-wise, definitely the D80 wins, hands down. Besides, we don't need HD video. thanks for the feedback wandererx btw d80 body got motor ? |
