Thank you for the recommendation! haha Im starting to think about the 1.8 now.. Price difference im not really sure but if it really does give better pictures im alright with it ...

there are people in other forums also mentioning that d7000 has their own motor, so the G series of the newer lenses is not worth the price and told everyone to use the D instead

Thank you all for your kind time helping me out ofcourse buying so much of equipments would not make me a better photographer..

oh btw i bought this book from times at pavilion its called magic lantern d7000 multimedia workshop.. not really useful thou since most of the information can be actually obtained on the internet so don't get that hehe

Well, one is mine and the other one is my gf's

The D7000 + BG + 17-55 taking up one compartment is attached or detached? Still left one compartment for another D7000 + 85G and left one last compartment for lenses and flashguns?

battery grip.
some will call it a vertical grip.

Newbie to DSLR. Just got meself a d7000 kit and still going thru the manual. my dream was to get a nikon when was young but could not afford. After busy with other commitment, finally 

Need advice, I need to get either a 35mm or 50mm for regular day to day shots of kids at home. am confused which lens can be autofocus. saw some 1.8G or 1.8D, i think which is below rm800 as compare to 1.4. need to ask if i get the D (cheaper), would it have autofocus? I know the G got autofocus.

Thanks ya.

Why not get familiar with your kit lens first before prime? What reason(s) support your decision to get the prime? Care to share out?

I would like to recommend you to get the BG as well since you expecting to take lots of portraiture

Flashgun may be not necessary, but it's good to have especially when you're shooting in low lights area.
I'll be getting a 50mm f/1.8G this weekend. Finally after the long waits

Fair enough. Hopefully you realise that owning the 35mm f/1.8 (or any good lens for that matter) does not do magic and automatically get you better pictures. You will be faced with different problems which is mostly user related.
On a side note, it does not matter if it's FX or DX lens. Once mounted on a DX body, the 50mm FX lens gets a 75mm FOV.

Don't know want buy 16-85 or 18-105 or 18-55 ler...
All the quality same right?

Thanks for the info...
So,the kit lens is 18-105 right?

to start - put on shutter priority mode, 1/250s, auto iso.
auto u can pray the camera does the setting u want.

Can manual focus right?

And why people want to buy lens with single focal length like 55mm and not straight away buy zoom lens like 18-55mm with 55mm included in it?

Thanks !
Now I know which lens to buy...
Bigger aperture = higher f numbers?

so does shooting on manual 24/7 make you feel like a pro?

I think what he meant was 18-105 or 18-55 lens. Not referring to a 55mm prime. 

If u say so bro. Unless he's talking about manual focus 55mm from decades ago, then have fun finding a 55mm prime

Nah... still far away from it. Gonna practice on my photography skills first before heading to professional class equipment. No point getting there if my skill wasn't able to fully utilize it
Cool down guys

Based from my point of view, he is more like asking why get 50mm single focal length lens when it's already covered by 18-55mm

so like i said kEazYc , sorry that you've mistaken for 'knowing' your primes 55mm i heard u say?  unless its an old MF lens from the film era like i mentioned earlier...

if its the 50mm you're on about, eugene, then if u have the money (which isnt a lot for an f/1.8 glass), go ahead and have a try. most ppl wont be dissapointed with it.

I suppose you're trying to say... why bother 50mm prime (single focal length) when you can have it covered with 18-55mm zoom lens.

One that differentiates between a prime and zoom lens is the aperture. Since you're new, try google and read about the exposure triangle (Aperture + Shutter Speed + ISO). It's basic and foundation to photography.

Single focus length lens or prime usually has big aperture (smaller the f value, larger the aperture).

Example 50mm f/1.8D or f/1.8G vs 18-55 f/3.5-5.6G. The largest aperture on the 50mm prime is f/1.8 while on the 18-55mm would be f/5.6 maximum on the 55mm end. If you did the googling job above, you should understands how aperture could affect your photo output

That is what I wanted to ask 
And the difference between AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D and AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G?

ikki9394: buying D7000 now, free 50mm F1.8D lens, why need to buy another 50mm?
