Get the AFS 35mm F1.8 for general purpose use. You can shoot portraits with 35mm also.
Furthermore its cheaper than AFS 50 1.4

@BenSow:

#1 thru #6 is made on a 6 year old compact auto point and shoot digital with only 5 megapixels and a very noisy max ISO400. Only #7 was made on a DSLR. The compact has a crappy 2 piece square aperture thats why #1 and #4 has that weird 4-pointed flare thingie.

@ccf1286:

You still don't get it. Its not about playing with the camera. The camera is a solution to the problem. The problem is composing the picture in your mind. Its about making the picture in your mind, then making the camera capture it. You seem to be having problems with low light, and like I said earlier, your solution does not lie with the camera. In good light, all cameras and most lenses are equal. A 18-55 kit lens at 50mm and f/11 will not be much different from a 50/1.4 at f/11 in good light. Likewise a 34/1.4 35/1.8 or a kit lens at 35mm and all set to f/8 or f/11 will give same results.

Zone V is the neutral "correct" exposure region. Typically most cameras can do roughly about 3 stops over and 3 stops under, giving you about 7 stops dynamic range. Some better cameras may be better giving you about 9 stops dynamic range. For more info on the zone system, see here: Zone System

@aldosoesilo

Meter off the bright background, lock in the exposure, and reframe your subject, then take the picture.

WOW...

Its this camera here

http://www.steves-digicams.com/camera-revi...-t1-review.html

Has a 3 fixed ISO, 100, 200, 400, and 3 aperture settings, 3.5, 5.6, 8 and well, its a auto PnS. But it has a spot- and center-weighted average meter, which is a very nice thing to have. It also has very crappy macro flash, where its uneven and the upper right will be too bright, and lower left too dark.

well the sunstar was the one that gave out the picture wasnt from a dslr sine it has only a 4 point which indicates a 2 piece arperture. even thou there are lenses that uses 2 piece arpertures on an slr, i doubt that it was being use on a dslr.

D3100 kit comes with USB cable?

And is DIGIeye TR-37 good tripod?

Sorry for asking the same question, can you please explain me in detail?
I am a noob in DSLR, please

No, you have to buy the USB cable separately.

i dont know how good s TR-37 but i used TR6000 is good enough for me at the moment... if I were you, i'll topup a little bit and get something better within the TR series rather than settling with TR37... the price difference is not that big...

That's the free tripod that comes with the D3100 kit offered by a shop

could anyone explain to me abou this cokin filters....

how does it differ from other filters. i know can change the filter type through changing the "mirror" thingy. but what about thread size? have to buy different thread size for each different lens like the the normal circular filter or its something like a multi sized snap-on ones?

thanks in advance...

Wow..this thread is very fast moving..i only left out from reading it last thursday..now its already on the 28th page..nice!!!

if they offer the same price with other shop then just grab it. but if that tripod is actually making you pay more, ditch it... just top up a little bit more and get something more decent... Price difference within DIGIeye TR series doesn't differ that much...

but if you only have to pay like RM10 extra for that tripod, i guess it's a good bargain anyway...

Hi!


Want to ask for a bit of recommendation ~
What you think is a good starter lens after with the kit lens you got?

Im using Nikon D90 with the Nikkor AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5 kit lens
What yar think?

Depends on your shooting style. Either a prime lens or a zoom lens.

Zoom!
