I welcome myself to this community.
I finally got my D90......wohoo!!!!

Taken a few shots today with my new toy. Hehee ... C&C are Welcome.

Hmm perhaps you guys should just...

logout from here, grab your current camera and go SHOOT! haha don't just worry about your gears, shoot more instead of thinking too much!

Well i think im getting d90 to replace my old trustworthy d40, wish to shoot more now before i sell it but having final exams, can't go anywhere T.T

guys, i got a really noob question to ask, is it possible to use old nikon/nikkor/tamrom/sigma "SLR" lenses on the D90?

yes but u prolly need to MF

I also want to shoot.....but battery charging

8 hours ... lol

Yea most of the old lenses can be used as long as it's nikon mount. Worst come to worst if you have those really old lenses (which is even older than AF-D, maybe Ai-S?) u need to manually focus them. Old lenses like nikon 80-200mm, 28-80mm still can AF in d90.

i charged my batts for like 1/2 hour and used it. until now no battery problems *touch wood*

no such thing as 8 hours now. when it stops blinking you can use adi

owhh this one really really old wan.. but got some interesting lenses.. hoping to able to use them if i get the d90. no way these lenses can auto focus.. they are extremely old, theres one 50mm 1.4 and one 100-200mm 4.5 lense.. hopefully can use la, coz dun wan it to go to waste coz no one uses them anymore..

The 50mm F1.4 is it nikon AF 50mm f1.4D? if it is, then you can autofocus with d90. it's a nice lens anyway.

Hmm not sure about the 100-200mm, what brand is it?


Ohh is it minolta 100-200mm f4.5? i think they dont make nikon mount, do they? if sony mount then it cannot be used with D90.

The 50mm 1.4 is the really really old one, definately cannot auto focus, actually both oso definately cannot autofocus, im juz worried that it wont be able to use on the d90 oni, dun mind about the autofocus.. btw, the 100-200mm is sigma.. and its been used on the super duper old nikon SLR

btw, the ones i mentioned are SLR lenses, not DSLR lenses..

Oh i see, so they can be used on old nikon film SLRs like the FM2? Then they all can be mounted on the D90 because the mount is the same.
To play safe, when you are buying your D90, take both of your lens to the shop and try it on the body see whether they work or not.

is this the old 50mm f/1.4 u're talking abt?

yes that old skool one!

then put your camera on some flat surface.. and use self-timer to prevent hand shake when u press the shutter lor.. enjoy shooting

no need one la.. i never charge like that for all my batteries.. so far so good..

yes.. i second that

if manual focus, then how bout the setting the aperture and shutter speed? manually on the lense or can adjust using the d90 settings on the screen?

the settings (ISO, shutter, aperture) can be set like usual..
the only thing that changes when using manual focus, is that u have to manually turn the focus ring on the lens..

me, sometimes use manual focus (when taking macro pictures, or using my fisheye) its not that hard actually~

i'm buying today, yahoo...
