Y not getting the 18-270 VC? hehe.....

Anybody here knows the procedure of getting the lens calibrated at Nikon? Where to do it and they need our warranty card filled n chop to do that?

I tried the autofocus using video mode, really funny la..... u can hear the SWM moving sound eh!! ahahaa..... dammn irritating if u turn on the sound, especially when it starts to hunt, u will hear eekkk ekkk ekkk ekkk...... mayb coz I using cheap short lens, the motor noisy n near the body.....

Anybody can help me verify is this considered front focus? Shot with tripod and wireless remote. ISO200. When I zoom in, non of the numbers are sharp in focus I wanna bang wall now......

Thx for the confirm, do u know the difference btw sending for Nikon to calibrate and I calibrate myself under the menu of AF Fine Tune?? I got no time to send it over today, and they asked me to try doing it myself 1st

Previously I manual focus in D5000 video acceptable in noisy places, but now using autofocus, the motor sound is really annoying

Huh.... mechanism summore, I tot my lens prob coupled with body cause this, Nikon QC so bad

What I can say is, if u travel around and likes to take landscapes, or even portraits that u wanna include the background, u must have a wide angle lens, I seldom use 35mm to travel, coz I need to fit a lot of landscapes/backgrounds into the frame, to make it simple, the lesser the mm, the more you can capture into the frame!

waaa.... 8mm? lol.... tat day I tried.... can see too much distortion

Get the kit lens, then get a used 35mm F1.8G @ around 650-700, this is a very good lens, the 50mm might be too narrow for ur liking, wait until u comfortable with primes 1st den u get narrow primes. Juz my 2cents


I think u also can do this with kit lens by walking 10 steps back? hahaa.....

Nope.... never played with one, I like to take landscape, but my current aim is to get the tamron 17-50 to replace my kit lens for wide angle and std zoom. I rmb last time u said the one without motor n VC is the sharpest, where u get this info frm? Coz frm the comparison I see, the built in motor version is sharper than the VC.

I wonder the focusing speed using the D7000 body motor drive vs the built in screw drive motor version.

Since u guys r a fan of Kai, let me share some most crazy test he had done, looks mad but proves good built quality on what u've spent thousands on
