Wow. Been a while I am here. Been sometimes since i join any photo event too. Anyone have any model event lined up? I wanna try my hands on model shoot.

Been addicted to 50mm 1.8. Like Maxh3h3, I have not swapped my lens since i got the 50mm months ago smile.gif

And i noticed something too. 50mm is superb for close up, portrait and macro.

So if i want to try my hands on landscape photography, eg roads, and sea and stuff.

What lens are best?


edit: and i am gataling to change for a D90!

Wow you're using 50mm 1.8 without motor? You must be good in manual focus d XD

Landscape can be paired with UWA lenses, many said tokina 11-16 f2.8 is a good choice, cheaper than nikon 14-24 (this is a FF lens).
But tokina 116 is a APS-C lens, if you plan to upgrade to fullframe in the future maybe can consider the excellent but more expensive, nikon 16-35mm F4, it's a very sharp lens! But that lens is even more expensive than D90 itself, but worth it if you have the budget.

Er, I actually find the manual focus frustrating at time especially at night, I cannot see the difference between the focus but every other time. Np.

I dont think i will upgrade to Full frame lor... D90 also having problem to fund for... How much is Tokina 11-16 f2.8 ah?

I am using it now. Its sturdy, its one of the better one that I have tested and seen between wei feng and Pro something

Its only RM150. Should be sufficent.

ai..ai..kapiten..
thanks for the advice.
but dunno which one to choose.
hehehhe..
d90 or d5000..
be my sifu?
hahahaa

Can I give a bit of advice ah?

Guys, shouldnt we take into consideration that the buyer is a newbie and has no experience in camera?

Taking that into consideration, D90 might not be such a good choice. Here is my thoughts

1. D90 has lots of function, but for a newb, this my overwhelm them considering that it is not as beginner friendly as a D5k or D3k or a D60.

2. With overwhelming feature, the newb might not be able to fully utilize the cam and end up just using full auto to bypass the problem.

3. D90 might have a replacement soon, why buy a new D90 now when you can invest on an old second hand D60, D40 or D3k and then learn how to utilize some of the normal function first. Get the new D90 when it is out!

4. No built in motor is not a big issue. It only means that there are 2 or 3 lens that cannot auto focus. Just don't buy those lens or learn to manual focus lah!

5. I played with D60 and just got a D90, my personal experience is that, if you do not have the basic to back it up, when you played with the higher spec camera D90, you won't know how to fully utilize the cam!
It's like, you purchased a ferrari but you don't even have license or know how to drive yet!

6. Save the money on beginner cam first. Invest on lens after knowing what type of photo you like and excel in taking, invest on a D90 or D300 after you are comfortable with photography.

Haiya.... Susah lah. Frankly speaking. D3000 is slightly more advance than d60. And newer. So... I guess its ok lah.

As long as I can sell D60, I dont need to give free gift to her too!
