Added on January 5, 2010, 8:25 pmwhy u wanna get so many lens when u cant get the most out of it.
Of course something close to my budget and what i need
somewhere around 24mm to 70mm would be ok

on my target for the time.

AF-D 50 mm f1.4 (portrait event , wedding)
AF-D 50 mm f1.8 ( portrait ,wedding , event )
Tamron 17-50 f2.8 VC ( portrait , lanscape , low light event , wedding , wide angle)
Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 ( portrait, landscape , low light event , wedding) very tight and not suitable for group shoot
Tamron 90 mm f2.8 macro (for macro , portrait only)

i dont need long zooms to shoot birds ok. Portraiture

budget around rm2000

17-50mm in the top list as it work as a 26mm-78mm on a dx format SLR

pls throw ideas in

No crazy lens talk, everyone knows 70-200 f2.8 VR2 is the best but i cant afford it yet

got the lens in sept

can share more about the lens IQ?

any sample pics u took in low lights?

focusing ?

i like the looks of it, BIG ,FAT and NASTY VC

aiyah what's wrong with zoom lens for portraiture? easier to get candid shots what. and save u the walking hehe

i really like zooms lens of course but a zoom lens with high aperture of course will cost alot
hope u understand what i m saying

of coz itz important to state out ur budget n the number of lens... since u r selling both prime n kit lens... n ur target is totally different categories... if u really wanted the lens for wedding/ event, definitely prime lens is not enough for u... so, jus get a zoom lens (17-50mm for my choice) and prime lens ( 50mm f1.8 regarding of ur budget, or mayb f1.4 if u increase ur budget a lil bit)... 90mm is a great lens for portrait but u jus sell ur 85mm, so not really a good choice since u wanna try something new... jus my opinion though...

Guys,anyone has idea on the location of Nikon Service Centre?

Wish to bring my camera there as there's some prob with it =(

17-50 mm f2.8 VC with 50mmf.14 in pairs would be great for me
tamron 90 mm is different from my 85 mm, my nikkor 85 have to be in a distance away for closest shots but 90 mm macro, u could go nearer.

using 85 mm on a dx = 120++ mm if i m not mistaken.

Perfect as a portrait len and as i said before , it only stand alone as a portrait len

Nikon (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd
11th Floor, Block A,
Menara PKNS,
No. 17, Jalan Yong Shook Lin,
46050 Petaling Jaya,
Selangor Darul Ehsan.

try google for the map... if u wan it to be fast, better to go to the service centre above.... for times square, they need at least 7 days even for sensor cleaning (i asked it last week)...

SP90 aso need to be far to have a nice frame for ur portrait la... unless u wanna snap the pimple of ur model, den u can be nearer la...

haha yea too sharp is a real problem too

any TT tis week?? so sien staying at home n no shooting... sigh~

what to do.. not the photographer's fault haha

anyway juz now i didnt mean expensive lenses like the 70-200m f2.8 n such... juz someting like 55-200mm or so. sure aperture at tele is 5.6 but okay what for outdoors. my point is we cant get close enough all the time in a wedding,..sometimes got two 'decisive moment opportunities' but very far apart, sometimes too much people n hard to get near... so a tele lens would help

juz my 2 cents

55-200mm with f5.6 at zoom range is not suitable in not so good in indoors. Only solution if u wanna zoom in indoors is 70-200 2.8 and 80-200 2.8.
Well i guess a photographer have the green light to move freely without disturbing people with their flashes.

Any idea in your mind?

u r TS, u should plan it... lol... oh ya, yday u find me??

Just wanna ask you some idea about the photo shooting session, coz it seems like everybody forgotten the up coming event, and we still need more ideas.

My thought was to make the venue nearer as a number of us don't have transportation to get far away to attend.

ooo.... ya... seems lik no noise edi... for sekinchan, i asked my frenz abt it... he said need to make the period we go thr is full of paddy n not jus 'field' oni.... means be4 harvest... so, need to check on it....

i was thinking of CNY theme oni since 30/01/10 is jus 2 weeks be4 CNY... or mayb we can make the shooting at the abandoned house nearby times square for some "emo n cool" theme... den we can molest all the lens in BTS afte the photo shooting... jus my suggestion...

yea cheong sam , get all 3 races wearing cheong sam and shoot

maybe NAjib will buy our photo because he likes 1 MALAYSIA lol
