So far the one i'm got my eye on is this Nikon 58mm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter II (Slim). Price around RM290.

I think you can actually buy those Hoya HD CPL at that price... Somehow I would go for Hoya instead though.

Btw, this weekend I'll be going for this event

Anyone else going? xD

oh that event.. lol eat durian until sien and take pic of durian girl

argh all my photos WB so mashed up, set it to tungsten then skin tone is ok but the bg so blue =.=" any advice ar? or have to manually adjust the blue hue also

I never seen anyone posted one in LYN before so I wonder if anyone could provide some feedback to me. But the Hoya HD CPL is not slim filter right ?

Damn, if i didnt went to a durian buffet 2 weeks ago i would join u. Now see durian also scared.

No choice, get your subject right. or leave the subject yellowish since that is the event's condition afterall!

LOL, I just noticed this. I'll be attending this event.

I think it is slim... not sure but my friend's 82mm CPL did not had vignetting issue with his 17-35 f/2.8L.

Hi Guys,

Need some advice here, I have a D90 kit lens and a 50mm lens. I;m looking for a wide lens for small group photos like at the dinner table, family gathering at home... these kind of setting.

Any good recommendatrion??

18mm not wide enough? Might need to consider something like Tokina 11-16 then.

Hi celciuz, ever since i started using the 50mm prime, I prefer prime now. So i'm looking for a prime or MAYBE a small wide-zoom...

Any recommendation?

18-105 IQ not good enough for you now eh?

11-16 f/2.8 might interest you. Else if you want primes, wide one would be 24 f/1.4 which is...pricey. RM6500.

^there another prime...which is fish eye...

same case like me. i abandoned my kit lens d moment i got my prime lens.

Tsk tsk, your 18-105 must be feeling lonely at the moment =/. Oh wait, I can't recall when's the last time I used my 18-105 either

cause you got 70-200 d mah, and new addition to the family 16-35.. can sell off your 18-105 hahaha

My gf uses it at times lah now haha. She's learning photography too

Hehe... many seems to appreciate the Q of prime... 6K is out la... how much is the 11-16 f/2.8?

and is f/2.8 enough for restaurant dinner setting? or will i need a flash? i hate flash...

Thanks all for yr comments.

WB looks okay for me though, a bit cold on the background but it doesn't matter for me. The model is well exposed and the skin tone is just nice =D

tokina 11-16 nikon mount would be around RM2.1k.. is a good lens..
isepunye use this lens if not mistaken..

I see i see, just checked it. Not slim ler. But thanks for the suggestion thou.

I've been hearing u guys talk about prime lens. Finally ordered one 50mm. Awaiting for its arrival end of this month. Am very excited now.

f/2.8 is sufficient, one stop faster than your 18-105 @ f3.5. But you get wider focal length in tokina 11-16. if you pump some ISO and use slower shutter (1/30~1/40?) at f2.8 should be ok. But it wont look so well exposed and not sharp. If can some bounced/diffused flash would be better to illuminate more.
