Initially I opted to pack for this lens with D7000 body. However, I'll be missing out the wide coverage as I'll need it, therefore I make a go with the kit lens and slowly save up for the next gear.
I tried the 50mm f/1.8D which lowest I managed to get offered is RM380 + Free UV filter. However, I'm trying to fit myself to collect only FX lens on the run as my long term target would be moving to FF. But of course, I can still sell later if I'm getting DX lens

85mm too expensive for my affordability now

Thanks for the pricing

Where can I shop for Crumpler's bag? Any recommended shop?

play around wit ur 50mm

u'll luv it.
i'm on DX too.
i gav my 50mm to my sis when i got the 35mm.
happy with the sharp f2 and wider 35mm. but later i found, i miss the 50mm. lolx.
sold & get the 50mm 1.4 instead.

as mention, is soft at 1.4 but sometimes, it's acceptable to create a little dreamy feel of street

85mm will need to wait i can afford an FX body. lolx
