Does it give as good quality as using it on the same system? Does that mean I can use canon 24-70 on a nikon since it is cheaper lol? But i guess it will look kinda weird tho... Haha sry for the noob question here...

the mount is not cheap. plus, you lost autofocus. i don't see the trouble. unless is canon don't have type of lens. or nikon don't have type of lens. and you really need that lens to save your life. if not, don't bother lah. get the nikkor 24-70 lah. (besides, nikkor 24-70 is nicer)

no no "since new" as in I never serviced it since i bought it, which was like back in late 2006. Never had any mechanical problems before although I didnt send to Nikon to clean the sensor couple of times.
*
i have my D200 since around the same time as yours as well.
nothing's wrong with my camera so far (touch wood)
i have sent it to nikon PKNS for sensor cleaning for a few times.
everytime when the sensor is cleaned, i felt like i have a new camera again.
the colour and contrast is like woah...

i got some prob with me cam this morning. my whole cam hang. can shoot but cannot focus, cannot preview, cannot go into menu. but after i took out the BG, everything seems to be working fine. what seems to be the prob?

Scotty, I would advice you to send the camera to the service centre for a check up. It might be a symptom of something else.

one dumb question, what is the best nikkor prime lens ? with Nano coat one. XD
*
It all depends on what type of photography one does. Architecture? it might be a wide angle. Portraits? it might be the tele lens. Sports and birding? it will be the super tele lens. There is no one lens for all type of photography thing

I don't mind the price tag if it is on par or better than the NEX. But too bad its just... ew. Tried the so called 400fps and 1200fps, no good.

Tried the 30fps and 60fps burst. On spec its sweet, but for real usage? It hits the buffer wall so fast despite using faster cards also same issue. Tried with a 45MB/s Sandisk Extreme Pro.

hehee i know how you fell celciuz,
if i were you, i would spend the rm 3000 in getting something for my D700

Hmm, never try 60mm before but the 105mm not to my liking. How's the 60mm perform? smile.gif
Nature mostly. Very close up insects and plants of possible. I heard about the 70-180mm before but thought of a prime lens. Might take a look at it next time.
I also got a few recommends of sigma lens too but call me a fanboi, wanna stick with Nikon. tongue.gif
How's the 200mm AF-D ? Is it sharp ? Not interest in DX lens.

And thanks for the recommends guys. Much appreciate it. smile.gif
*
eh what's wrong with the 105mm lens? if you were into nature and insects, the 60mm is not for you. the 200mm yes but it was expensive. hope you can find a good copy second hand though. it's a fantastic lens.

i have heard of good things about the sigma 150mm macro too. but since you said you are not into a sigma, i guess your best bet is to find a used 200mm f4 micro lens. it cost rm 4800 10 years ago

Yeah, the 105mm f2 DC is very nice  wub.gif  but the 105mm VR... well, not so nice (in my own opinion la). I'll check on sigma 150mm but no way for tamron regardless of how cheap and good they are. I had bad experience with tamron product and service so no more tammy for me... ever! dry.gif

I need something that over 100mm and since i'm not in a hurry to get it, i'll try to search for a good deal on a 2nd hand 200mm f4 mostly. Thanks guys for all the help. biggrin.gif

care to elaborate why the 105 macro is not so nice?

Sigma announced the 50-150 OS in February, shipment delayed mainly because of tsunami. Some peeps inquired the new launching date after that, they said will ship in October 2011. Now November already, still not out yet  doh.gif

eh i thought this lens was release quite some times ago?
f2.8 right?
or the new one comes with OS the old one doesn't?

I want something to excel in a specific field. For 105mm micro is doesn't give me that feel. If it use for portrait, the 105 dc is better and for macro 200 (yeah, the distance is a b|tch) is better. Anyway, it's just my personal opinion, don't take too heavily in it. notworthy.gif
If I can find a cheap 2nd hand I might try it out. smile.gif

but i thought you were asking for macro lens. 105mm is basically a macro lens and not a portrait lens.

It doesn't excels due to the IF, which have Focus Breathing issue, need to know how to use it properly. Otherwise, it's great.
You can try get the older 105 AF-D version.

i remember seeing some in YL Camera. Might want to call them up and drop by to have a view and play and then pay... hehee

on second thought: how much is your budget on this macro lens thingy? will you consider carl zeiss 100mm macro? i tried it on 5D mk2 and OMFG... upon viewing my photos at 100%, i started to see things that my eyes couldn't see. i can use this dude as a microscope lens
