the 1.4 is build solid with nice sharp image at f2 above , need not compare the bokeh from a 1.4 compared to the 1.8
if u love 50mm , u should go for the 1.4 , if not a 50 1.8 would serve u well in that range.

which one ?? u can get em anywhere u want, just study the market price for it, no point going so far away just because its 10 or 20 ringgit different right ?
50mm 1.4 should be rm1000 below
50mm 1.8 (rm450 below)
sb600 ( rm850 below)
nissin di622 ( rm450 below)

if u can get cheaper than that for a new one, thats your bargaining skill

if its for me myself would prefer to go for secondhand stuff which there is alot of em well taken care and sell in a cheaper price even still in warranty.
got my af-d 50mm 1.4 for only rm850 from a seller that bought it for rm990 (used only for 2 months) left me a rm 850 lens with another 8 months warranty

flash gun is a must have for those who get use to it and know how it save the day. When we talk about primes, its the quality at that precise ranges.
Large aperture and flash is 2 different topics

rm1500 budget, not even enough for new sb900

poison slow slow lar bro

i think nikon created that lens to target those using the beginner SLRs without the build in focusing motors.
With the d90 ability to use a wider range of lens, a 35mmf2 would be much more better,
one would prefer the af-d 50 1.8 which is more cheaper and serve better than the 35mm f1.8 .
Worse thing is, its a DX lens, u wont be needing it if u get to jump FF in the future.
having 1 or 2 DX lens is still ok if u jump FF, more than that would be pain .

i m using phottix bat grip, bought it at rm240 + 1 extra 3 rd party battery
so far so good, nothing different cept the brand print below

Added on June 7, 2010, 4:29 pmwhy so expensive for installment??
do u have credit card?
some credit card do offer installment plan after purchase, example : pay the full amount at rm3400( shop will charge u 2% on top of the price)
then call the bank and request to make an installment plan on that purchase

Added on June 7, 2010, 4:36 pmit depends lor, if i got no car at home, i would prefer to buy 2 honda city for me and my wife
instead of buying 1 honda accord only for both.
Got 2 things to play more fun mah
there are places that flash is prohibited so comes the large aperture lens to the rescue instead of relying too much on it alone
with his budget for 2 items okay lar
When he is ready for more, who knows he ll sell everything and go for d3s .....
