i see.. hows the retail price for the tamron? by the way.. how does the lens come together with d90? is it really doing badly?

how bout Sigma?

so,17-50mm F/2.8 VC tammy not good?? ..dangg,dream of owning it everynight..if so,wut r the other option for 17-50mm,aa but within the same value?? ..

it took about 2 replacements before i was happy with my tammy. if you get a working lens trust me this baby won't make you regret a dime. a beginner or not, getting the 1750 with a constant f/2.8 instead of the kitlens is the best choice. there's hardly any difference at 105 and 50 that a good pp crop can't fix (come on a D90 is 12mgpx). the perspective doesn't change with a crop. you'll feel the crippling disadvantage of the f/5.6 max on the kit soon enough.

the price difference should be somewhere between 500 ringgit last i saw.

not saying a kit lens is bad (i've taken a few pics with the A200 kitlens that im proud of), but honestly the d90's kitlens is just overpriced.

craving for the tamron sp90 tho.

outdoor also i shoot with flash guns sometimes flashgun + reflector

105mm F5.6?

to all sifus,for keeping purpose,do we need to remove the lens everytime when we put in the storage box ? I just have the kit lens as for now.

great shoot !!!

Added on May 25, 2010, 10:21 amanyone know the price of 50mm f1.4  and 50mm f1.8

f1.8 around RM350 - 400 ?
f1.4 around RM800++ ?

Shutter counts relate to the shutter speed used? i tot one cycle of open-close is considered 1 count (a.k.a taking 1 pic is one shutter count) regardless to the shutter speed used 

Btw, here is my moon shot taken recently

I have a very *silly* question i would like to ask. Since everyone in here are D90 users so it should be simple.

A) D90's body has the Auto Focus motor built in, does it mean that we can opt to use Lens which does not have the built in auto focus?

B) VR/Vibration Reduction. This is referring to the feature on the lense. How big of a effect does this VR play? And is it recommended that we opt for lense with VR function? At what scenario would it have the most effect on?
C) I'm currently using the D90 with their standard kit lense of 18mm-105mm . At a certain close distance from the object, it can't seem to focus. Is this due to *Non-Macro* lense?Or is this a Limitation of D90/DSLR as a whole?
All the sifu's please advice

good job nice info man!

Thanks for all the information.

A) Fully understood .

B) For lower lighting conditions most probably you'll be either;
i) using Flash
ii) Using tripod

Thus the functionality of the VR would be nulified right? Correct me if i'm wrong
C) So if we were to use the Macro lense, it shouldn't be a problem right? Hmmm
