jz get d kitlens 18-55 1st, its good in everything but not best in anything
wat kind of shots u want that ur kitlens cant take in wedding?
do u need tele lens for wedding? then get 55-300, but be warned for poor low light performance, unless u get 70-200 f/2.8 which costs 6k+
do u need 50mm? or u jz considering cos its cheap? but be warned to be frustrated by manual focus
might as well get an external flash which is considered to be a definite must have for wedding

As the wedding is a typical malay wedding do I still need flash?and about the 50 mm is it worth it for 200 coz it cz lens,btw with 20-200mm what can I do with it

i recommend flash cos it has universal usage which helps whichever lens u r using, its useful oso even outdoor during daytime smile.gif
as for 50mm, if u r shooting group portrait or couple portrait where they r going to pose nicely for u, then manual focus wont b a problem, but for candid shots u may miss some good moments
20-200 will b useful as all-in-1 lens, u can take group pics with wide angle n zoom in for candid moments oso

ur choice nod.gif

I was one of the 2 touch user before, upgraded to VR2 after 3 weeks.... It won't match even the VR one in terms of image quality, u get what u paid for, however the Sigma 70-200 OS is pretty much better than the 80-200 in everything, trust me u need OS on heavy telephoto lens  shocking.gif
The 80-200mm or 70-200mm is considered moderate telephoto with moderate weight. With proper technique, you should be able to get sharp shots. Heck, I was using D70 with the 80-200mm f/2.8 and never felt the need to get the latest and greatest 70-200mm f/2.8 VR. With better high ISO Nikon cameras nowdays, it should not even be a problem. Of course if you have the means, no problem getting the best but it's not always necessary.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Mar 6 2011, 09:15 AM)
only thing the 70-300VR loses out is of cos if u need high shutter speeds of at least 1/125 etc in low light...then u need to boost iso...which then will reduce image sharpness...even tho the image will look somewhat clean.
Where did you hear this? The fact that you need to use higher than 1/125 shutter speed (even for VR ??) tells me that it's a user problem than the lens itself despite the fact that super zooms are never good at their most tele end.

High ISO is always at the expense of reduced colour contrast and dynamic range. Of course that effect is greatly reduced when the sensor is from the D700/D3/D3s.

QUOTE(FaezFarhan @ Mar 6 2011, 11:41 AM)
I see. I guess i'll try to use it for a while, getting a monopod to pair with the lens. Let's see how it goes. My friend is using a Canon 70-200 f2.8 without IS, he said he needed to get use to the lens first, then it's gonna be fine. Well hopefully it'll be fine for me too.

I really expect a lot from this lens, it's gonna arrive this thursday smile.gif
Good luck. Yeah, with some discipline, you can make it work. Speaking of monopods, I've been to fashion shows and people with 70-200mm VR and IS lenses still use the monopod. Why? Because is heavy especially if you're using external flash.

QUOTE(Bliz @ Mar 6 2011, 12:03 PM)
I hope u won't end up selling the 80-200 like I do  tongue.gif
Nothing wrong with selling. It's called progression. Sometimes one does not need to sell to get the latest and greatest.

Besides, you're talking about Nikon glass. Not Sigma / Tamron.

QUOTE(gnome @ Mar 6 2011, 04:33 PM)
Wooo im looking to buy 80200 two touch aswell but if cant find any good deal probably gonna go with sigma 70-200 II smile.gif
Desmond at Pudu should have the two touch, no?

QUOTE(Victor3010 @ Mar 6 2011, 04:57 PM)
Hey guys, I just got myself a second hand Nikon D300 body for ~RM2600. Was it a good buy? Everything is in good condition and the shutter count is about 10k now. I'm still waiting for the seller to send it to me

Well, I'm treating this as a upgrade for my D40 smile.gif
Congrats. Good price. rclxms.gif It's a very nice bump from D40 surely. The first thing to notice is the focus and camera response snappier.

QUOTE(Victor3010 @ Mar 6 2011, 05:12 PM)
Hehe... Yeah, how much was the D300 body only when it was new? I think I'll keep this D300 now smile.gif
I remember buying mine at 5k if I'm not wrong. I guess I too will stick with it and use it as a back up.

looks like u didnt or cant read properly, i said "if u need high shutter speeds of at least 1/125 etc in low light", with respect to shooting events like dances / concerts etc where ppl obviously do not stay still...whereas if i had a constant 2.8 i can get 2 stops of ISO.

I believe it's a known common problem. The hot shoe becomes loose over time.

Your original message was too concise. Now I understand.
