I use FN to change my AF mode . From Single to Area to 3D depending on what I need.

I use it for AF assist light ON/OFF good for taking candid pictures with the AF assist light OFF

I didn't bother using the FN button

hey guys..i'm looking to buy an f/2.8 telephoto lens..of course it will not 70-200 vr II, damn expensive..should i get either a tamron/sigma or nikkor 80-200? i already read bunch of reviews but still couldnt make up my mind..

I would say, go with the one that has image stabilization feature (IS/VR etc).

Thanks man..definitely 70-200 vr II is the choice but the price is just ..i read that sigma already release the new 70-200 f/2.8 with OS..maybe i should wait for that and see how it goes..

any idea how muc is the new sigma lens goin to cost?

I would suggest you to wait for the Sigma then, 200mm without image stabilization will be tough indoors even with the f/2.8 :S.

Monopod will do the job

hey, everyone, who has news that next month which is tomorrow all prices for all brand of camera will drop. is this true ah?
i was told by a friend which told my friend haha, im waiting to buy something but because of this news i m waiting, only time will tell.. haha..

Har? What is the reason of the drop?

New price list? Or merely April's Fool .

Tomorrow April fool

i use FN to change my Image quality like jpeg with +RAW! haha

sigma 70-200 is the closest to Nikkor i think. it cost around 3k?
im getting that.. i dun need VR that much all i need is a monopod... plus its a fast lens unless u plan to shoot at night.

If you're using D90, there's a button to change the quality immediately right @@. Still need the FN key for that?

eh there? where?!

OH LOL FOUND IT DIDNT REALISE HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA SILLY ME!

guys.. am hoping to get a wide lens.. should i get sigma 10-20, tokina 12-24 II f4 or nikkor 20 f2.8D

favor sigma cuz it's cheaper at overseas

tokina is the most expensive but after research, it has the best review result

nikkor has large aperture and light, but review says the quality is not that good

please advice...

My gut feel tells me it's not gonna be cheap.
Maybe with some luck and a small sum of top up will land u a 70-200 VR1.

Same comment as above. Anyway, in terms of optics, the Nikkors are still ahead.

Lol...yeah, or worst case just train urself to handle it. Before VR ever existed, how did the photogs handle such equipment?

If you do not mind the range, consider the Tokina 11-16 F2.8.
I'm using the 12-24 Toki myself, and Toki built quality is just superb.
The sigma 10-20 is a nice lens too, but the reason why i did not consider it was because of the variable aperture, and also the distortions in the wider angles.

The 20mm is another interesting lens, one that i'd like to have in my arsenal right now. But on a D90,k it just isn't wide enough. If you intend to use it as a walkaround, it'll be nice, but as a landscape lens, maybe you'd enjoy it more if you're using a D700...)
