when will D90 replacement come out? haha...

depends on what you wanna use your camera for, you need to decide what you wanna use it to shoot before deciding lens. we can't make the decision for you, or else we'll just simply say go for 70-200 f/2.8 VR

For myself I think I need a better zoom lens compared to my crappy 1855...
But sometimes I also want poisonous bokeh lens for portraits... *Coz 1855 can't give me nice bokeh, all of them are kinda harsh.

   

haiz... sibeh sien la. don't have 50mm at the moment.. next year only buy a better gear to get 50mm.
currently using 70-300mm(small bazooka only)

ooooooooooo that sigmalux. 50mm f/1.4..      that one of course expensive.. i saw the price somewhere in the forum...

you got 18-105mm..ok what..better than my one.. 18-55mm. that small bazooka not easy to take picture = =

Anyone here doing wildlife shooting?
Like birds?

right now i'm more into d5000..the only thing i'm attracted to d90 is the commander mode..coz i kind of interested in doing flash off camera..is it worth if i chose d90 over d5000 only b'coz of this..

i duno about you seng87.. ppl asking some question only

yes, he told me hood function

n i oso study (a bit ) from this thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1302392

The primary function of the lens hood is to prevent stray light from entering the lens as it extends and shade the front end of the lens. This is especially true if you shoot in the direction of the sun, causing unwanted artifacts in your picture such as lens flare, decrease contrast and image degradation.

By using a lens hood, you'll also get the added benefit of lens protection from any accidental impact or bumps. Accidental touches and scratches are also reduced. However, lens hood are only usually used when you shoot outdoors under bright sunlight or shoot under extreme lighting condition as protection again impact is secondary.

Summary of advantages of lens hood:
1) Reduce unwanted flare
2) Richer colour/deeper saturation, improved contrast
3) Protection from impact or accidental touches/scratches
4) With a lens hood, many argue that you don't need to use a UV filter (which might degrade your images somewhat)

i got lens hood for my 70-300mm..       

in a way when there are no flare in your picture it does help to get better colour and quality picture.. as  our digital sensor are quite sensetive to light ..

I wanna ask some advise from Pros here, Should I buy a 35mm F1.8 or sell my kit lens n get Tammy 17-55mm F2.8??

Exactly, which is why nowadays I prefer shooting solo . Or else, sacrifice the bokeh and use 16-35 f/4 XD

mk iii or mk5?  i dunno leh.. dunno about canon dslr..

juz bought a 2nd hand 18-105.. the lens damn heavy.. lol...
