Thanks... So hard to focus that water drop... Using cheapo 1855 lens... But quite satisfied with what I have now. 

i bought my nikon d3000 few months ago and now i wanted to upgrade my gadgets.

so firstly, im thinking to buy a flashgun and also 35mm(50mm cant fit for d3000 cause no built in motor for d3000)
but now, im not sure which one i should go for first. the flashgun or 35mm?

and for the flash, im considering the nissin Di622 or Sunpak PZ42X. can anyone give me some opinion about it? or is there any other choices.. budget not more than 600 for the flash

i try my fren sunpak pz42x the other day but on my device the flash was not working properly. my fren was using 1000d
and i don know why that problem happened, he said it should be no problem

i need some help from the experts. thanks much

i just got reply from nikon service center about price of cleaning, just wan to share

Nikon body sensor cleaning =  RM20.00 for warranty, RM60.00 for non-warranty.
Nikkor lens cleaning = RM130.00 minimum for fungus cleaning.

Haha, he became a baptist instantly LOL
the videographer was like HOLYYYY and quickly saves his camera

EDIT: Oh BTW, these are among the photo's heading to the school magazine.

imo u shud get flashgun 1st. after dat only go for 35mm. not too sure bout sunpak performance, but most ppl prefer nissin.

tengs for d info.
hopefully my lens dont hv to do fungus cleaning in future.

me likey #2.

i like the 3rd one..

Thanks but I think 2nd pic's bokeh is very very harsh. 

It's still look nice to me....

p/s: i like ur watermark XD

It's not your fault, it's the lens limitation, you might have already done the best for that lens. Harsh bokeh doesn't mean bad photo, it's a nice photo =D

have bokeh better than dun have any bokeh

I still remember that time I went cameron highlands with my D40, was still new with it, I shot a closeup flowers with F11, all details no bokeh at all, but I don't think it's a bad photo =D

Owh found it ^^ Highlights overblown in the middle and too saturated XD

guys. my lenses have fungi. they're all at Least 45 years old. i knw it's expensive for lenses with fungus to be repaired because of the high tech coatings on the elements. but have any of you repaired a fungus infested vintage lens? i need pointers. especially on the pricing.

I don't know how to clean old lenses.. as far as my limited knowledge knows, I take a flashgun and flash directly into the lenses. The heat will kill the fungi. 
Nice picture, considering you were new at that time! D40 rocks. 

Can I flash my flashgun full force at a lens although it doesn't have fungus ?
Just like a precaution like that.

Can or not ?

Should be ok, it won't affect your lens. It will just kill the fungus.
