Took this from skydrake's thread.

10-24mm @ RM3K.


smokey: If I get 18-200mm, which means this lens can be use as wide and telephoto lens? If yes, then I buy this better.


Otherwise, 18-105mm also ok. I know the output won't be as good as 10-24mm.

ya 18-200 is consider as wide to telephoto...
but d3000 is APS-C sensor...so u need to consider 1.5x crop factor...
ur actual focal would be 18*1.5 = 27mm....haha...not really wide but still acceptable la...

i would consider sigma 18-250mm OS...it got quite good review and selling 2.2k if nt mistaken...

reveur: cheapest good filter brand is Hoya d, other cheaper brands r jz China cap ayam 1
those cap ayam degrades your pics badly, so either spend more on good filters or dun use any at all

zeist:wide angle converter is a converter mount on any lens to make it capture wider images
example if u have 18-55, use converter, at 18mm it'll give image close to 16 or 17mm
not much difference n reduce image quality a lot, but thats the cheapest wide angle solution u have
but IMO, for casual everyday shooting n standard landscape shots, 18mm of kitlens is way good enuf d
do u really nid that wide?
n there's no common lens, it differs from ppl to ppl
but if wanna know, i'll say 18-55/18-105 r very common as it's kitlens, then 24-70 for FX users

ALL OVER PRICE

whats the lowest price for 35mm f1.8 u saw?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APS-C

How do you calculate actually? 18mm*1.5? The front measurement?

The reason I want to buy wide lens is to combine 2 - 3 images as one. I've seen a few here before, i'm impressed.


I also read saying that kit-lens shutter speed is always faster than any other lens, true?

Let's keep the lens aside first.

This is what I plan to buy (full set), budget RM3K max.

- D3000 + kit-lens = RM1,7xx
- Extra battery = To keep as spare
- Lens hood = Need one to avoid flare
- Speedlight = Afraid the built on one not strong enough, go for it?
- Good bag
- Dry box
- UV filter = what do you suggest?
- Lens cloth, brush, cleaning liquid


With only RM1,300, can I get the rest in bold?

Nissin Di466 abd Di622 what different? Can any1 teach me? the pricing seem not much different

Hey fellow Nikon fans... I bought a D5000 in Nov/Dec 2009 and now feel like upgrading to D90 now for the built-in motor. So if anyone's interested in my D5000, pls drop me a PM. I'm from Penang, can arrange to view in Penang. It comes with 2 batteries, 17-55mm kit lens, Nikkor 35mm f1.8 prime lens and a bag... thks.

rgds,
ronn

how bout photoshop lightroom 2? izit hard to handle? i've seen my fren using cs4, but the tools looks complicated. i dont plan to do sm heavy pp but only minor 1.

mayb u can consider getting urself a 35mm instead. 35 x 1.5 = 52.5

i can pinjam u 3days my lens for ur fuze...

try shashinki...


total = RM 1075 only

lol.. fuze sold.. Now getting crumpler and flash gun.. 35mm next time...

u can open selling thread in garage sale section & im very sure theres alot potential buyer ...
but y D90? why dont go D300s?

tq. but unfortunately i dont have any wedding rings xD

@ bad_melatonin


Oww, nice list man. Thanks.

No budget for lens, maybe next time.

The UV filter a abit steep. I remember I saw some UV filters cost in between RM60 - RM100. Good enough?

* Other ques: Let say if I don't use the camera for 1 or 2 days, is it ok if I just leave it inside the bag? I still don't know the dry box settings.

I read kmarc's thread, that we need to flash the lens once or twice a week to kill all unwanted fungus.

u left something.... AA battery for ur speedlight... around RM120... if u jus wan a UV filter to protect ur lens, RM20 aso got...

Speedlight using AA batteries? I don't have AA rechargeable batteries. My 2 previous sets already went down the bin, useless product. I won't buy GP and Energizer anymore.

RM20 too chapalang , willing to pay a bit more for assurance.

Eneloop

haiz the 35mm is quite a good bargain, i can only get a new 1 only cheaper by rm 10
rm799 is good enough

how do u define chapalang?? if u jus wan it for protection, i dun think RM20 or RM60 make a big difference lo...

you chapalang people use chapalang stuff lol


wei u ready for outing on end of may?
