Hey guys, I recently owned a D3100 with 18-55 kitlens.
I wanna ask which B+W UV filter shud I get? My current UV filter are making my pictures not sharp.
New to photography

Thx for the feedback!

almost the same weight with 1 bag of rice...
hehehe

Exact same weight of my 8 months old baby XD

Did you focus too close to your subject, every lens has its minimum focus range, too close it couldn't lock the focus. And sometimes focusing things that lack contrast like white wall, it'll struggle to focus too.

You can read your mode on your top LCD panel, if it shows A then you can start to adjust your settings. Shouldn't be too long for the camera to react to it, think 1 second will do.

If it's that slow that you have to autofocus something then only you can change the settings then there might be some problem to your D7000.

hehehe....

The F-pro. Reasonably priced too.

really only hsm compatible? cause may plan to upgrade to D7000 or D700 later... and will spend alot of $$$ if i went to Macro version is much more cheaper than i can invest on D700 rather than D7000..

Yes, the old Macro DG version has no built-in motor so you can only manual focus it on your D5000.

Why not just upgrade it now when you get the new lens.

If going for the HSM and the D700 is too much for you then you should call poor man's evil friend-Ah long.

Or else, work hard, spend sparingly and save up for the better upgrades.

Don't use UV filter also can, make sure you use lens hood as protection. U also can consider Hoya HD UV, good quality.

What else do I need to purchase after I get D7000 with 18-105kit lens
before traveling to oversea soon ?

cleaning kit ? filter ? blower ? any ? extra memory card (what type) ? camera bag ?

tight budget spender here

All of the above
except blower should come with the cleaning kit.

You need to clean your lens or may be sensor so a cleaning kit should comes in handy

Extra memory card in case your primary one failed(if you shoot video class 10, if not class 4 is more than enough, if you do not want to transfer your pic every day then get the 32gb, get Sandisk, it'll never fail you)

Camera bag should come with your purchase unless you think you really don't like it then you can buy another one

cleaning kit no need to buy, ask the shop foc for u
usually comes with blower + microfibre cloth.

1)cleaning kit with blower
2) sandisk ( which type of card , SD ? )
3) What about UV filter thingy ? is it necessary must have ?
4)anything else i left ? (:

sorry off topic...
im want to know...
when we buy cleaning kit...
we get the alcohol to clean the gadget...
it is safe to use that liquid??

I'll try then (:

not clean the gadget aka camera la.. just for the lens....

There's class 4, class 6(discontinued) and class 10, all different by the reading and writing speed. If you need to shoot video get the class 10, if not class 4 is sufficient.
If you like to transfer you pic out everyday, then a 8gb card is enough to take 400+ pic, if not then get the 32gb.

Filter, not necessary, you can always use the hood for lens protection. But in crowded area you never know what will happen and your lens might knock on something that scratches it. So let a 100 bucks filter got scratch is better than your 800-1k lens got scratch.

It's to clean away stubborn dust and dirt.
That's why buy a good one that is for your lens, those that the shops give FOC all ''made in china'' that cost rm3-5 i only use it to clean filter.
And you need two micro fibre cloth, one for wet one for dry.
