You forgot two lenses that were already discontinued...

Nikkor 18mm f/2.8
Nikkor 28mm f/1.4

Incidentally, both are precission grounded glass.

For a standard zoom lens on DX, Nikkor 17-55G DX is a very nice lens indeed. Don't bothered about Nano Crystal Coating because a USED one is already damn cheap for it's superior performance.
It helps me to cover group shots and jalan jalan all the while. I sold it not long after I have the 17-35 f/2.8D.
If you going to stay with DX for quite many years, just grab it.

OR if you have more budget, can consider the superior Nikkor 17-35 f/2.8D as well. This is a FX lens so don't have to worry about selling it away when you wanna switch to FX in future. 17mm on FX is REAL WIDE already to me(lets put 14-24 aside for now), 17-35 is a very useful focal length even on FX

thanks bro for the reply... alright i have 2 sets of battery for my camera and also flash, shouldnt be a prob i hope

I would go if not for my friend's wedding.

On a side note, anyone going to BTS next weekend ?

Crap man, my group member decided to go Sekinchan to do our short film shooting both days on this weekend, I won't be able to go already

Not more than 1 k , is 55-200 mm good enought?is it the price for nikon 55 -200 for 700 worth it?

D7000 or D300s?

definitely D7k bro ...

d7000....

cool...... compatible with 70-200 rite?

all nikkor lens sure compatible?

both also DX format ... sure compatible but dont forget to count in the crop factor ...

He said nt much better, not 55-300 same as 55-200, so wat i said 55-300 better not wrong wat
N 55-300 got better VR, longer range, metal mount, its true its better than 55-200, but i didn say better by alot

Rm700 for new? Worth it!

D7000

where is ikano? damansara one? any details?

Hmm... I just thought about this recently and coincidentally it already being discussed here. Says...

If I ditched the kit lens and to go for 35mm f/2D with D7000 body only as my starter pack. I'll be missing out the wide capability. I don't need zoom, but wide yes.

Any recommendation for affordable wide lens other than the kit if I ditched it out?

What's your budget? If you shoot outdoor and don't need very wide and low budget, you can consider 2nd hand 18-55mm VR.

tokina 116

hey bro, u hv tokina 116? if got, ok or not??? Grab nikon 10-24 or tokina 116??? of couse dont compare the price.... which one better

I'll be kinda "out" after purchasing the D7000 + 35mm f/2D. Probably look at around RM1K ~ 2K if I'm really desperate for wide. Since the kit package and body only differ RM650, should I just take and keep the kit lens or fund it up for a better wide lens?

Anyway, what's the different between D and G lenses?

Well, whether wide enough or not is more towards individual preference. Anyway, there's a standard scaling for ultra wide and wide range. I just couldn't recall the number as the magazine I bought is with my friend now

70-200 DX lens meh ?
