do we need to ask at counter if we want to try the lens? or they just leave it for us to try?
*

Have to ask, because all of the lenses are placed in the glass cabinet with locker.

D5k BG got 2 types, one is cable type like General_Nic using, the other one is IR.

Try playing with exposure. Like -0.3 or so

nope...
im just want opinion....
if not ok...
i will funding for the battery...

I would suggest you to go for EN-EL3e battery as well. Long term investment. Eneloop batteries are "specially made" for flash brows.gif

Extra info, by using 2 EN-EL3e batteries and BG, it will use the right battery 1st until 0% then only will use the 2nd battery on the left side.

Hi, i'm newbie in DSLR camera and plan to buy Nikon D3100. I need some advice before i buy it. My main use on this camera is landscape and portrait picture, hence I plan to buy 2 more lens which are

1. Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens
2. Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens

Do you think these lens are reasonable choices? Is external flash a necessary to have?
*

The items you've listed above are actually great combo. However, in my opinion, why not go for 35mm and a speedlight instead, suits well for capturing portrait. As for landscape, kitlens will be sufficient. Anyhow, it's just my opinion though icon_rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(juruteknikmuda89 @ Feb 17 2011, 09:44 AM)
morning nikonians,i want to ask about d300s

1)is it worth to buy it for my 2nd body?
2)what type port at the front of d300s body beside lens?(the covered with rubber)

FYI,i'm owner of d90

the way i see if i buy d7000, it would be more expensive than d300s

need y'all opinions.
*

By comparing these 2 bodies, in my opinion, just go for D7k, body around RM3.8k whereas D300s body around RM4k. Newer technology above all... thumbup.gif

QUOTE(Agito666 @ Feb 17 2011, 10:02 AM)
then what is that?  laugh.gif
sorry i m outdated...got D70s only.  sweat.gif  D7000 got that?

Oh no guys, don't look down on 55-200mm, it's a sharp lens for portrait. Ask ask General_Nic thumbup.gif

QUOTE(bbuser91 @ Feb 17 2011, 01:51 PM)
Guy what do you guy think about 17-55mm f2.8g , it is without VR , or nikon purposely make it w/o VR because the f2.8 so we can gain more shutter speed?

Teach me thanks !  thinking to get that
*

Good question, I also wanna ask, why 24-70mm f/2.8 also no VR 1... Anyhow, do consider to get 24-70, it's a FX lens with Nano coating! Whereas 17-55 is a DX lens without Nano coating. I'm just comparing the worthness in terms of price. laugh.gif (Jeez, I'm repeating these many times already sweat.gif)

hi guys,i intend to get a nikon d7000 this weekend at lowyat. any idea what's the advantage apart of its high ISO? i heard many reviews that the nikon's parts are very expensive rather than others like sony and canon.cos i am currently using sony a33.
*

Partially mag alloy body, dual slot SD card... And errr, not everything is more expensive than Canon and Sony, depends on items though.

QUOTE(Andy214 @ Feb 17 2011, 02:07 PM)
For the price, it's actually good, it's light, easy for travel and carry around, sharp too. The main drawback is it's focusing speed, but it depends what you use it for and you can learn to compensate the focusing speed by pre-focusing to shorten the focus time.

The 55-300 VR would be better with metal mount + 9 rounded aperture blades; This one have people selling sligthly below RM1K.

Anyhow, it depends what you use for and your requirements. This is s DX lens, so if you plan to upgrade to FX, you might want to consider the 70-300 VR. But if you just want a lens that is CHEAP, light, easy to carry around, the 55-200 or 55-300 would probably make do. The best is to test/try it out yourself the lens and decide.
*

True true! 55-200 is indeed very light! biggrin.gif

QUOTE(aldosoesilo @ Feb 17 2011, 02:11 PM)
Really? I even saw people using 35mm 1.8 on their D3s. yeah 35mm 1.8 is a DX lens. whistling.gif

i'm planning on buying it but i'm on a tight budget... saw ads on mudah.my selling new one but cheapest is rm3199 and with out bag and mmc... but if i can find 3.1k with accessories (bag, mmc, screen protector, uv filter, etc) would probably grab it.. but isn't it too cheap for d90 to have such freebies? LOL
*

lol, you may compare the prices with the sellers in Garage Sales, start from a seller with the name of mitmivec. Anyway, the one I've stated RM3.1k is from Cosmos in LYP. Those freebies won't costs much either, you'll end up not using them

There are many types of filters, UV filter, CPL filter and also ND filter to... uh I suggest you google around laugh.gif And it's not compulsory to have filter. Cheap filter will end up spoiling your photos. icon_rolleyes.gif

If you ask me, I would say D90 stuck in between the entry level and the mid range level. Anyway, why bother about it? blink.gif

Hi guys. Does non-AF/AF-S lens work on DSLR. What I mean is the lens for Film SLR - will they work on Digital SLR? Sorry for my noob question.
*

The easiest way to differentiate is to see from the lens, if there is a word 'AF' then it will AF on selected DSLR. Simple eh? laugh.gif Actually you're asking AF-S or AF lenses? For AF-S lenses, it will work on all DSLR automatically.

As for non-AF lenses, they still can work on DSLR, however, you need to play them manually, which includes the shutter speed and aperture (you gotta do guessing). Anyhow, do correct me if I'm wrong though, I got these info from BTS Nikon Centre. icon_rolleyes.gif

Yes it will work, but 100% manually. If you got the patience to play, why not? brows.gif
