It turns out what i have been suspecting all this time is true, there is something wrong with my 80200 two touch. Ask the nikon guy at klcc to take a look at it at he say there seems to be some loose element inside, need to be tighten or something. Repair cost ranges from 150-200+ moneyflies.gif sad.gif

btw what zoom lens are nice?  i tried sigma and nikon 18-200mm and sigma 18-200 OS both are nice and sharp...  are there any more nice ones out there? or even cheaper ones? my dad was like wtf when he found out a zoom lens is gonna cost more than my camera. lol

Once you taste the IQ of a prime lens, you will never go back to kit lens. Heck probably only the pro grade zoom lens will satisfy you tongue.gif.

But...but...prime lens is expensive! /points to 24mm F1.4 cry.gif laugh.gif

So is the 50mm 1.8G worth the price to be used on a body which has an autofocus motor in it?
Or the 50mm 1.8D is better in terms of overall performance and price?

IMO its worth the money, its sharper + much more contrasty + bokeh nicer wub.gif

Im using one no my D90 btw laugh.gif

Nice shot, but for this case study, the subject was lighted with 10 flash guns aka a flood light... so, yeah, not really a good example

and by the way, this is the exif for that pic..

Camera Nikon D90
Exposure 0.006 sec (1/160) <--- sure la no shakey issues...
Aperture f/4.0
Focal Length 135 mm
ISO Speed 1600
Exposure Bias 0 EV
Flash No Flash

I'm not going to say that even without VR/IS you can't get sharp images at longer focal lengths. I'm just saying that it will definitely be a whole lot harder, when on other other hand, if you DO have VR/IS, you'd be glad you have it.

Haha the stage light was quite bright laugh.gif

KFs are difficult as they are small, easily spooked and hard to find especially perched on a clean branch. Looks like it was quite near. KFs are usually shot at 500mm to 800mm if you want to fill the full frame.

80-200mm AF-S, the best piece of glass you can get for sub RM5k. Not easy to hunt for a good copy but worth the effort. Not as heavy as 70-200mm but just as fast as it when focusing. Shouldnt have sold my whole nikon gears years back sad.gif

Saw one for sale at YL Camera not long ago, RM3.9k which is not bad i think thumbup.gif
