icic... maybe wait the new 18-200 ^^ release

new 18-200? tamron is releasing a new 18-200 meh? lol go for the tamron 18-270 VC la. or go for nikkor's 18-200 VRII

anyone here know where can I get hydrometer/hygrometer? Thanks!

but i heard from them that 18-200's quality is not so good... suggest go for 70-200 f/2.8, is that true?

lol yes of course, 70-200 is an FX, full frame, lens also after all. 18-200 is just a travel lens for DX, crop sensors. the 70-200 has fixed aperture at f/2.8 and with 7 ED glass, it's made from quality. price also quality, RM7k compared to RM2k+ for nikkor 18-200 VR

not so good compared to what?

70-200 2.8 recommended if you have a lot of extra money aka rich
or
you are making money with your photo and you can get decent amount of profit in return

is D90 suit go for 70-200???

D90 + 70-200 VR2

lol poison

18-200 is DX lens

70-200 is FX lens

kenot compare la like this lol... i'll stick to my 18-105 till i can afford the 70-200 f/2.8

dun talk 70-200 d...give celz chance to show off nia

18-200 is rm 2000+
70-200 is rm 6000+

3 times the price, '3 times the quality'

since we are on lenses here how about the nikon 80-400mm lens?
the price i think is around 5k and the reviews are positive about it.

eh , i dun think so , the two price should be similiar , previously i asked everywhere bout d90 kit price , is around lowest rm3400 but all no stock , well get the 1 with 18-200 tamron ( since sis have kit lens)

so price should be similiar

In my opinion

18-200
- no VC
- zoom creep
- a lil hard to focus in dark
- slow lens due to f/6.3 at max (but below 100 should be similiar to nikkor)
- pro is .... u can get 200mm end~

while the kitlens
- seem better build quality
- focus ring a lil small
- have VR!
- better AF

so in my opinion are that, do u need that 200mm focal length ? or else just stick with kitlens , VR do help

or save money to buy tamron 17-55 VC f/2.8 , lol ( or better still nikkor's)

i think that i want to use something with 200 focal length..

right now, i hv a nikkor 55-200 lens.. so i plan to hv single lens to cover from 18 to 200...

my budget is only 3.5k

if u have th 55-200 already dun need to replace it la...

jz stick with 55-200 get a prime or wide better...then save up for the 70-200

u buy 18-200 now sooner or later u still gonna want to upgrade to 70-200 even the kit lens f/5.6 on the long end is killing me d.. i cant imagine living with f/6.3

should i get nikon D90 with kit or without. the kit lense seems to go up to 108mm. i thought maybe get the body enough.

one more thing is that whether Nikon Malaysia provide service maintenance for new set within the warranty period. Cleaning and Polishing?

for recently, they said need to be charge RM20. after warranty RM80

kit lens goes up to 105mm 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6

if u have a good mid-range zoom or a tele d then can jz skip the kit lens

what lens u currently own?

sigma 18-200 hsm os not bad . google for their review against the nikkor 1

not nice to me bokeh too harsh, not as sharp as kit lens, heavy

budden it is nice lens for all rounder. my buyer seem to satisfied with it.

spamming again
