Kenko, Hoya and Tokina are same company call THK. The reason why Kenko is cheaper because it is in different range.. same like Toyota and Lexus

can peel off to mount mb-d10 that rubber

seems like unable to find

wei wei , help me buy one lah if free to go

im living in kota kinabalu 

how the heck i will lost mine i also duno   

Just to remind you that 85 f/1.4 don't have VR as well. With big aperture, VR can be neglected.

Started with 18-105. Now 17-55.

Still learning and rely on tripod? Well, depends on how you see it then...

Call them. There are tons of numbers available on the net by Googling. I came across Foto Selangor from Googling. Make sure they have the stock ready and make an appointment with them before you travelling to KL/PJ from Seremban.

Yeap, 17-55 indeed a solid lens. Now I understand why earlier someone mentioned it's too sharp and need to soften a bit
Isn't the shutter speed can easily be achieved by the big aperture?

Can be that great? Hmm... how much superior is VRII from VR?
It depends on what you're shooting the most and also the kind of "effect" that you want in your shot. f/2.8 can do bokeh, although not that much but definitely better than the 18-105. Sharpness wise I'm not sure, but do you have flashgun? 18-105 is magical with flash

You get what you pay for. In terms of focusing speed, Tamron has always been known to be slow. Sigma is faster amongst 3rd party brands. But in terms of quality, Tamron makes quite good glasses.
If you're in KL/PJ, you can head to Nikon HQ in PJ.

Else, try online?
Subject and composition matters. Besides he does not shoot fast action. More landscape and models that have the time to pose for him.
Sorry but while your other postings are spot one, this one I think that's the most silly reason. 
That rubber piece is actually part of the D700/D300/D300s. Not part of the MB-D10 battery grip.
Wah, where do you shoot with your camera? You need everything weather sealed meh? 

Now that you mentioned, I only realised that I have not put mine one since everytime swap the battery grip on and off.
At high shutter speeds, yes. Low shutter speeds, no. Like I mentioned previously, most people switch of VR / IS to get sharp shots when shooting sports. You only get the benefit of VR /IS when shutter speed is very low.
Because it does not have VR, we should junk the 85mm f/1.4. 
You got your Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 already? 
We need to remind ourselves that not everybody on FX body. 

On DX bodies, you need at least about 1/125. If you're a beginner, trying something faster like 1/160 or 1/200.

As a tip, you can try and set minimum shutter speed in the camera's Auto ISO button that tells the camera to jump to a higher ISO when the minimum shutter speed is not met.
Sorry but I don't get what is variable ND. Do you mean graduated ND?

Graduated ND is for sunrise / sunset where the sky part is bright and you want to make that part darker to balance out the landscape.

ND filters are like sunglasses where it blocks excess light. Circular Polariser (CPL) is used mainly during daytime but you don't have to use CPL all the time. Makes the skies bluer and reduces reflection / glare by polarising the light.
Where are you located?

Have you tried Foto Selangor or J-One?
Yes, you almost always need to fallback on sufficient shutter speed to freeze the subject movement unless purposely done for artistic purposes.

actually, can try 1/8s with VR on at a object say 50m away?

Hi all,

I need some advise on the lens here..

I like to snap family photos, close up facial shots and landscape/sceneries...

Planning to get a D7000 and need some advise / suggestions on the lens :-

Which options is much better / suitable ...

Option 1 -
Nikon 18-200mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR II
( more expensive but no need to change lens )

Option 2 -
kit lens 18-105mm VR and later purchase
55-300mm F4.5-5.6G ED VR
( need to change lens, bigger bags for travelling...  )

Some sellers bundled a AF 50mm f/1.8 to the D7000, what is this 50mm lens used for ??

Was thinking of getting the body with the 50mm bundle and later get the 18-200mm ... is this a good combination ?

Thanks

hyperfocal range already,

goes to infinity. 

Shooting something large like a docking ship at the harbour from 50m away still looks big.
Heaps better than the D70s. 
The original battery grip for D7000 is magnisium alloy? 
Use Capture NX2 lor. Should correct the distortion of their own lenses.

Unfortunately the 14-24mm f/2.8 is only up to 24mm. It would be great if it was up till 35mm and had VR.  That would make it heavier than the 70-200mm f/2.8. 
I don't understand. Isn't one of the things to consider before buying a camera would be how the camera and controls feel in your hands? Some prefer big, some prefer small. So preference is all personal taste.

I don't think the OP's reason is insensible for choosing a bigger grip so long at the end of the day, the OP feels comfortable.

Celciuz... you have got godlike hand?

Bus stop

mayb warranty by nikon china. but isit cheap?
u will buy 330 by nikon china or 190 by photix?

D3 came out with the D3s..
At least a budget ver of the full frame please?

D700 is er 2007 i think?
D3s is 2009

if D3s replacements wait for another 3 years, I might as well get D700 right now. 

this macam jennifer le 

Just came back from BTS Nikon Centre, tested the D7000 but i don't understand why the shutter button is so sensitive, i tried to focus then it straight away shoot, is it due to being "molested" by the public too much?
