Sifuss I need an advice.
I am owner of D3100 (I bought it because I feel it is the best entry level DSLR for Nikon)
without a deep research on it's AF-S motor.
nowadays I am having difficulty to find good lens for my body.
as lens with focus motor (G lenses) a way more expensive compared to D lenses.
Take 50mm 1.4 G is almost 2x as much as 50mm 1.4 D

moreover it's even harder to find 3rd party lens. take tammy for example
17-50 2.8 w/o VC is only 1.1 - 1.2k however the one with VC is 1.8-2k

well, I don't feel it is worth to pay extra for G/VC thingy.

so I am thinking to upgrade from d3100 to d90 (USED), even my d3100 age is only 1 month old.
do you think it is a wise thing?? because I am dying want to try 50mm (most probably 50mm 1.8D)
however if I am stick with my body I have to go for 50mm 1.4G instead which based on the review it doesn't have significant improvement from 50mm 1.8D
so, sifu any advice? Please.. I am totally confuse

1st, The tamron without VC has built in motor now. They no more produce the non-motor version. I don't think u change from D3100 to D90 is a wise decision, u r downgrading the sensor performance. Master ur D3100 before u look too much into upgrading lens. If you have tight budget, the 35mm is a well worth lens for DX!
*
I've take a look at 35 1.8 but it seems not as sharp as 50mm 1.8D or event 50mm 1.4 G, that makes me considering 50mm 1.8D with d90 body.. but still yeahh I am downgrading my sensor performance plus the processor.. =X


QUOTE(General_Nic @ Dec 9 2010, 11:39 AM)
Tamron 17-50 non-VC has motor, n u got d choice of 35 f/1.8G other than 50 f/1.4G(unless u reli wan 50mm range)
*
do you think it's a good thing to go for 50mm 1.8D instead??

QUOTE(Andy214 @ Dec 9 2010, 11:40 AM)
Imagine if the GF is there and question him immediately where he focus???  tongue.gif
Just kiddin'
You can get 35mm f/1.8G which is just around RM760++, not more than RM800.

If you want to upgrade to D90, then you have option to use the cheaper 50mm f/1.8D. But the range is quite tight when space is a concern. Or if you pay a little more you can get the 50mm f/1.4D, below RM1K. I find the focus much faster than the G version, but it has only 7 diaphragm blades compare to the G which has 9 for more rounded bokeh.
*
so, do you think upgrade to d90 is necessary in this scenario?? because 50mm 1.8D seems like must-have lens I am thinking to give it a try.

What figure is the best to shot landscape ? f/22 or f/11 ?
*
I would say f/8 is more than enough. Back then when
I did research about lens they say it depends on type of lens,
some lens still give you no distraction even you use it until f/11 some f/8 is it max. but normally f/8. rclxm9.gif

f/8 is just a general guide..but if u wan to do those creative shots like moving clouds or getting really smooth creamy waters...people usually bump it to f/16-22, and shoot bulb with a couple of ND filters. laugh.gif

they are plenty of flash technique. you can use commander mode etc as well. But the best part of having speedlight is having a long range flash without suffering harsh flash effect. IMHO, you can ask another nikon sifus though

Yay speedlight thumbup.gif


QUOTE(geekster129 @ Dec 14 2010, 01:40 PM)
if you bounce the flash you create a larger illumination area. Hence, your pic will look more natural and more comfortable for the viewer. Your pic will look more pro looking also. If you point blank your flash directly, you will either make your pic cave looking and subjects will look like Geisha.

Geisha means that Japanese geisha with a sexy body??

aduh so 'cheap' for a student like me haha
so other brand that compatible with nikon ?

go for nissin good for beginner like me tongue.gif
nissin di622 (made in China) less feature but still consider good for learning purpose. if you want to experiment around with commander mode go for mark II.
I bought my nissin di622 mark II for 470rm. I dunno if you be luckier than me.
or nission di822 still China brand but with a lot of feature (which I am not really sure). around 800-rm

The best out of the best nissin sb900. the longest range flash, with a lot of feature inside it. (yet I am not sure what is the feature, however the recycle time, and sync time is fastest out there IMHO) you can get it for 1500-1700Rm
