aiyoyo, I've met alot of gear head around.

But I came across a funny one who asked for my recommendation. He owned Canon 550D with 18-135 lens. He wanna change his gear. Firstly, I asked why do you want to change?

He replied "because it looks lousy from the outside and not enough blur of the background photo". Wah piang. Gave me a total sweat bigger than Hiroshima.

So he ended up sold out his Canon gear and jump to Nikon D7000. Pretty useless tho since he buys his gear for display. (rich a$$)

not sure wat aperture i was using(that time very noob) when i tried Viking's 5DMkII with 85L
but i did get better AF than my D5000(maybe its D5000 problem)
it was then i was poison by 85mm on FF sensor, so hence my hunt for 50mm on cropped sensor begins tongue.gif

Get a Siggy 50mm f1.4 HSM. Damn good 50mm. Don't need to go that extreme for f1.2 unless you got extra money to splash.

Hi guys, just wanted to know what 50mm lens will be compatible with my D5000? Preferably tamron or sigma. Thanks  smile.gif
*
y looking for 3rd party 50mm lenses? if u r expecting them to b cheaper then u r mistaken
Tamron dun have 50mm, n Sigma 50mm f/1.4 cost around rm1.5k-2.2k
for Nikkor lens, only AF-S 50mm f/1.4G can AF on D5000, cost around rm1.8k

i see d3100 dun have auto focus lens...is it a problem? can i change a auto focus lens and how much does it cost?
*
D3100 kit comes with kitlens 18-55 which has autofocus function smile.gif
wat u hear shud be that D3100 dun have its built-in autofocus motor(autofocus needs a motor)
it relies on motor in lenses to achieve autofocus
so if u use lenses without motor(usually older model lenses), u cant have auto focus as there is no motor both on D3100 n d lens

Guys I just got bumped by opening a new thread wanting to know;
I should had asked here instead. Which would be a better choice?

Should I invest on Body for D7000 or Siggy 50 1.4? doh.gif damn pening!
*
i used to have similar dilemma as u, except mine is between D90 or Sigma 50
but y i wanted either these 2?
cos i want 50 f/1.4's low light capability n bokeh
get D90 then can use 50 1.8 with AF
but in d end get Sigma 50 cos its lens that is limiting me, not body

so ask urself wat is limiting u actually

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jan 21 2011, 12:32 PM)
hmm...tamron 17-50/2.8 has issues with focusing in low light right?
how bout the tamron 28-75/2.8? same issues?
wanna find something that can also be used to take concert shots.
and uhh...24-70 is out of budget tongue.gif
