for budget around 2k to 2.5k
wat is the best of value for a beginner?
is body with af motor is a must?

d3100 ok?but don have af motor wor
d90 have motor but video not so good

any other model for recommendation?

not really... newer lens all have AF one so no need worry about that.

Especially when there is the 50mm f/1.8G... probably the most expensive 50mm f/1.8 around... and compatible with entry level bodies for auto focus.

Anyone here has been to Korea?

no why?
you go? i jelly

my colleague got went there before.

Planning to go there end of next month!

Yes why?

my gF plan to buy s9100 or p300 ..any idea which one is better ? seems like the price is almost same..only the function ..for me is p300 ..but both also get advntge and disadvnge.. :S

I scared cold leh. lol


ooo nice... just want some advice for photography there

Any lens you would recommend for there? Currently still stuck with 18-55 and I wanna see if I can buy a lens prior to the trip

18-55 will do fine for traveling. If you need extra reach, you can consider 55-200, 55-300 or just go for the all rounder 18-200.

Usually when traveling, you will take more on wide ends compared to tele end anyways.

i JELLY....
how much for the expenses?

last few month my colleague went there, raining season... normal cloth only XD

hi there. im using bro's d3000 and nw planning to go d7000. where is the greatest deal place ah? if possible list down the price too! thanks you!

Just now I was using 50mm f/1.8D on my D700... (rarely use it)... then when I remove, I noticed my f-stop at 2 instead -.-

Usually it will show zero... then when I checked carefully the latch for aperture stuck in middle ._.

stuck, cant use finger move ah?

my 35mm f2 is weird, sometimes will stuck at f2 when i turn all the way to f22,
then have to plug it out move the latch abit then only will jump to f22

Can, just need to push and it will spring back to normal. LOL. All my other lens don't use that latch.. only the 50mm i noticed will push the latch. I guess its for the metering so the body can detect what aperture is set for non cpu lens.

Yes for NON CPU, but NOT FOR NON-AI LOL !


damn it last time I bought NON-AI lens... have to manual mod the thing so it will push the latch

then when i sell the lens to another buyer, he talk so loudly that the lens can do metering without mod LOL !
after received only say no metering hahahaha!!!!

so any nikon model to recommend between this?
d3100
d5100
d90

the best of value?tqvm
