35mm f2 can focus so close one.. n bokeh very nice too.
if u r on DX 35mm more suitable for portraiture..is like 50mm on FF body..

For me nope. I used to own 35/2 then I sold off to get 50/1.4
After that I grab back 35/2 and sell off my 50/1.4
To me, 50mm on FF yes, very nice. On DX, sorry. Too tight. Can't have what I want

35/1.8 also can focus very close la

I mean 50mm on FF and 35mm on DX

Yeah I found so too.
35m is perfect for walk-around. sadly I don't have 70200 yet. =\
I haven't use 50mm lens yet. therefore I don't know about the range estimation.
Thanks for the input bro. I might place it for consideration.
anyway what is your opinion about 70200 sigma? of course it is a way behind nikkor. but do you find it is acceptable?
I know you have a good sense of lens picking therefore you even said 35mm 1.8 is a trash

Sigma 70200 HSM not that bad la. Acceptable but kinda soft on wide open above 130mm (IIRC)
For the price, get 80-200 Nikkor better

i guesss u dont have any kit lens or regular zoom lens?

the problem is it is not an AF-S lens. so I can't enjoy the AF on my body.
or upgrading body to d90 is a good idea? Man. I am stuck!

I found myself always playing with the zoom and unable to stick with one particular range if I use zoom lens. therefore when I bring my 1855 out I am playing with the zoom instead of stick with one range and threat it like prime lens. a bad habit of mine.
Next time I must try not to even touch the zooming barrel. Thanks anyway

80-200 got AF-S, but more expensive
http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/80200afs.htm

if on budget, why not find used camera? D70 or D80 around RM1k.

I really want to upgrade to D90 but I find it is more like degrade not upgrade unless I go for d7000.
and yeah D7000 is a way out of my budget.
80-200 is almost double of sigma 70-200 price.

80-200 AFD around 2.7k can get 2 touch version already. Very nice and sharp !

New??? Where? Penang?

Here new need almost 3.8K, used also need around 3K...


50mm f/1.8 AFD cost less than RM400 or half the price of 35mm f/1.8G DX.
If you want to try, can get that, but it won't autofocus on your D3100.

For me, on DX body, I still find 50mm not tele enough for nice portrait; Since you have the kit lens, try focus to 50mm and use it and see. For me, it's still not tele enough.

If based on what celciuz using we will b dead broke..... 6k+7k+4.5k+4k =??

will D3100 auto focus with AFD lens?

Brand new 3.4k for import set with 6 months warranty.
So 2nd hand around 2.7k for 2 touch.


No.

fuyoohh.. I think I have to upgrade body 1st then. Saving to D7000

Great man comes a great responsibility
