spelling check
u mean for hired photographer or jz a fren/relative casual photographer during a wedding?

if for me, 18-55 n 50mm r jz fine
18-55 for group shots n 50mm for portrait shots
dun nid long zoom lens like 55-200/70-200 gua

no way, my AP set D5000 is having My World Marketing Sdn Bhd
but they send it to Nikon service centre to repair or service(thats wat they say)
but u nid to let them send it, bringing yourself Nikon MY wont accept coz dun have Nikon warranty card
in short, u can get service by Nikon MY but not reli trustable to let MY World send it

which version of Tammy 17-50 he's selling? without VC? got built-in motor 1?

not sure, but i got mine at original price but AP unit

not reli expensive la, jz hear that Tammy 17-50 without VC is the most problematic among d 3 version

u can get Nikkor 55-200 VR for rm900+, superb lens at a very affordable price
but with your rm2k budget u cant get Nikkor 70-300 VR, way better but at rm1.9k
if u r looking for all-in-1 telephoto zoom lenses, Nikkor 18-200 VR is way out of your budget, rm2.7k
can consider 18-105 VR at rm1.1k but with shorter range

i suggest not to get Tamron or Sigma's 70-300 as both dun have VC/OS(VR equivalent)
for all-in-1 telephoto zoom lens, can consider:
Sigma 18-125 OS rm1.5k
Sigma 18-200 OS rm1.8k

got Sigma 18-125 non-OS, Sigma 18-200 non-OS, Tamron 18-200 non-VC & Tamron 18-270 non-VC within your budget
but better not to take these as VC/OS/VR helps a lot at these telephoto range

Nikon oso possibly gonna enter mirrorless system market? lol

i prefer rumor of D90/D700 replacement

wah, wat a waste man
last time b4 i got my 50mm i always pinjam my fren's 55-200 dowan return to him jz to use the f/4 at 55mm
n damn loving to use 200mm to take candid pics, they din even knew they r in d pics until i posted in FB

D5000 owners shud wait for D300s replacement only upgrade or straight enter FX

@kent, nvr considered a constant aperture lens? Tammy 17-50 f/2.8?

d only thing im complaining that D90 has but D5000 is lacking now is top lcd

@kent, here's a pic taken using 55-200 at 55mm f/4


n some dose of 50mm poison

if i rmbr correctly, i tilted my flash 90 degree up, using TTL with SB900's dome diffuser

spam

Best Denki at Midvalley got sell

1) D3000 cant do CLS by itself, nid use SU800/SB900
but for Nissin Di622 n Di866 can be triggered wirelessly with D3000 built in flash, but u dun have full control over the flash settings

2) speedlite 1st as u only buy once, lenses differs in function n depends on which u want/nid

Energizer Rechargeable r good enuf, but if u can afford go for Eneloop better
btw, Energizer Rechargeable aint that cheap either, lol
(for 2450/2500mAh, lower mAh arent good)

if the dust is IN d viewfinder, then leave it there, it wont affect pics except annoy u when u snapping la...

rm790? thats like d price my fren bought almost 3 yrs ago b4 d price hike
maybe old stock? but no difference between old n new production stock la

last time u headache want Nikon or Olympus, now hate Oly d?
finally succumbed to dark side d
anyway, how old is d D3000? 14k SC seems quite high to me


loving the mixture of d blue sky n orange sunset
maybe shud cropped bottom a bit as i feel too much black area there

he said Cosmos d la

he's saying d old 55-200mm without VR la

EN-EL9 is d older model used on D40x
both oso can be used on D60/D3000/D5000

lens flare caused by filter then remove filter
flare under strong light then use hood
if flare caused by lens internal, then cant do anythg...

take out d filter for d duration u wanna shoot
use high ISO, noise is inevitable, but at least u dun get underexposed pics

can use ur hand as hood

Hi guys, currently in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, will upload some pics soon

btw, did i read abt 50mm poison? here's some



shot at f/1.4
pic pretty noisy coz didn wan to use flash so used ISO6400 instead

Hi guys, im back frm Yogyakarta~
here's my 1st ever attempt of HDR, using 3 raw exposures with Photomatix


dun buy lens jz bcos u got cash, know wat u want n wat u nid instead of asking others which lens is best

yes, still producing, n still selling strong
very good cam for wat u pay
