planning to buy tamron 18-200mm for my newly bought nikon d3100.

what do u guys think? or any other susgestions ?

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?

by the way. when i search shashinki.com behind 180270 VC there stated Macro. what the macro means ?

Macro photography is close-up photography .. The classical definition is that the image projected on the "film plane" (i.e., film or a digital sensor) is close to the same size as the subject - from Wikipedia...

18-200 is combination of zoom lens and telephoto lens, its depend on your needs. If you want all-in-one, then go for this lens. If you want better zoom lens, then go for 17-50 f/2.8.

Macro allow you to shot an object with closer distance, means close-up.

18-200 and 18-270 which one is better? im opt for all-in-one...
and also the macro which means the lens are not made for shooting macro only right? can still act like zoom lens and shot far away objects ?

The guy at fotopresident offered me this price.
I think they only have shops in Penang.

18-270 is much better since got vibration compensation but 18-200 don't have. The macro in both 18-200/270 can also shot wide angle landscape, portrait, object...etc

For me, both this lens is just the extended version of kit lens and smaller aperture.

if i buying a sb900 to make it as a master for d3000.. can i make nissin di622 as a slave without using a wireless trigger??

Nissin 622 trigger via available flash. Which mean even your pop up flash can trigger that.

i'm using D40 and interested to get Di622. can you or anybody explain more on wireless trigger between D40 and Di622?
thanks

Pop up your body flash and set at di622. settle.

Use TTL from your camera as a trigger.

now i understand what nissin di622 can do and what sb600 can't do..

But in terms of build quality, SB-600 win hands down.
As well as functions. Although Di622 is very user friendly but it lacks of functions like manual zoom in SB-600

for best solution, its better to get nissin di866??..

Not quite sure about Di866, ask other forumer here.
But Di866 price similar to SB-600.

What I know is Di866 has color LCD screen.

sb-900 best solution

Depends on his budget also la.

running of my budget


can anyone buy it for me??, i think that is the best solution..
