Don't play wait for lenses, if you wanna play wait, can wait until neck long long I tell you. I waited months for it last time also, in the end cannot tahan then I grab myself a second hand one because scare new one price drop too fast also. End up I sell it away again because upgrading to FX even before it's replacement is out

No regrets and $$ loss.

85G on DX? LOL!

4.8K? add a thousand more & you'll get the 2470N!!

Btw, I can get the 2470 at 4930 NEW, Nikon Malaysia set from official source.. don't ask.. secret...

Go for D3s + 24-70.
You might regret once D700 replacement is out, just a sincere advice from me

bro ... ur tingling my senses right now ...

i still have to wait half year to saving my in piggy bank to get new body...

Well celciuz did use it on DX before jumping to FX what

If not because of him, no one here will bother about 85G also

Joking obviously

i couldnt find any superb condition 17-55 thats why i thought of getting it new ... like i said ... i got no plan to upgrade to FX anytime soon ... the 24-70 is really tempting but not wide enuf on DX ...

Sure or not? Get me 1 5 copies come

Added on February 22, 2011, 4:36 pm17-55 quite a lot people selling USED one at 3.5k like that, and from what I see, all optics conditions are 95% above one, worth trying

And dude, I'm not the person recommending 24-70 to you yeah

I went to KLIMS the first weekend (Saturday) with D90 + 85G,



Then got annoyed with the range and bought D700+MB-D10 the next Monday

Added on February 22, 2011, 5:02 pmAsk yourself izzit the range for you now is important or not ? if very important go and get now no need wait

Like me , not so important , so i dun mind to wait even though i 90% know they wont upgrade the lens to VR so fast yet.

Haha, my point is 85G can be used on DX too . I've used both D90 and D700 with 85G on the same event itself .

Compare the distance differences between FX and DX,

D700, Subject Distance 1.78 m

D90, Subject Distance 2.66 m

More or less similar magnification of subject.

Perspective different, bokeh also different

so your point is the lens it self can use on D90 and D700 perfectly without distortion?
still got many thing wan leech learn from sifus...but wont play so "geng" lens...now my account still in negative 3k debt for this year to pay to my dad...then baru can save money for D7000 (because choose D90 my friend said later will outdate soon, D3100 no AF motor and hard to play with 50mm 1.8f , so D7000 is my choice lol, upgrade from 70 to 7000 sounds nice)

i am actually planning to replace my 16-85 ... its going to be a long term investment in lens for me ... after this i dont plan to purchase any additional lens in a year or so time ... just afraid that after i purchase it the new version comes out ...

Ic... i also wan replace my kit len ...

Looking for tamron or if nikon comes out new VR 1755mm

i dunnoe whether my suggestion good or not lar , you go to shop try and play 1755mm w/o VR , see whether is very important for you or not . if not really go and get 1755 , no need wait for the new version

i wan tokina 11-16 f2.8 but too bad cannot autofocus , make me sien !

18-70 is tack sharp bro. I love this lens. I think it will stay with me as long as I am using DX
the only lacking thing is it has no VR, therefore I have to train my hand from shaking.
initially was a bit hard. but training makes perfect isn't it?
in low light very hard to use it since no VR. in the afternoon. this is the king

Thanks for the feedback bro. Will train more

Nop. the first picture I am showing the reflection of water. where in the second I am showing cloud
Maybe my composition is not good enough
Will do better.

YEAh.. It was Sigma 10-20 where famous of its distraction bro

I couldn't do any post processing bro. because my laptop. spoiled in the assignment week. OMG!

Thanks bro.
