Hi, after using my DSLR for 2 months, I'm looking for a 2nd lens. During those two months, I realised 80% of my shots are in between 18-50mm using my kit lens. 20% of the time I want to zoom further maybe up to 200mm, more is fine. So should I choose a 55-200/300mm lens or a 18-200mm lens?

P.S Is it recommended if i get a prime lens? 35mm or 50mm, 50mm seems to be cheaper.
*
55-200 and 70-300 is the best bang for bucks from reviews i've read.
18-200 is good all rounder but in expense of "so so" IQ for the price given.
Instead of 18-200 I reckon it is better to get 35mm f/1.8 + 55-200 or 70-300 with almost the same amount of money u pay for.

Edit: 70-300* not 70-200 typo error tongue.gif

i think Nikon Malaysia also have policy that their equipment sud be sold at the RRP...

the boss of the shop i go to keep warning me every time i buy something, not to inform Nikon Malaysia about the price he give me... or he will get into trouble... he says it jokingly so i dunno he serious or not  sweat.gif

*
Is a sales strategy to imply that they sell it really cheap. Plus he told u the price drop is to make u had a mindset that it is cheap by that time and also gives u an urge to buy it on the spot as well. However, RM11,700 is still kinda cheap i reckon in fact it is approximately $300 dollars cheaper when compared to grey imports. Good deal there rclxms.gif

Where do u buy it anyway? I can get my gears there next time tongue.gif

QUOTE(seather @ Oct 9 2011, 02:17 AM)
but this policy make senses becoz too much pricing competition will eliminate a lot of small time sellers and concentrate the market into a few big players... meaning they will have Nikon's ball in their hands...

or cud be the official nikon stores r complaining becoz they cant sell anything... rolleyes.gif

*
I reckon there is no restriction that sellers should sell at RRP. It is just a "recommended retail price" however I believe Nikon will set a price floor in the market to ensure competitiveness.

Looking at Shashiki site, why Silicon Power so much cheaper than SanDisk for same class 10 and memory space?

Both says its class 10, Like previous post mentioned it is just like lancer and inspira. But i reckon SanDisk might have better quality control over silicon power. Im not sure bout this tho.

QUOTE(hidden830726 @ Oct 9 2011, 04:13 PM)
Both is Hoya-Multi-coated (HMC) but 1st 1 is HD. I read lots of reviews last time pros says either use HD filter or dont use at all.

SanDisk is pretty well-known in its quality for memory stuff but at a price.

I never own any of the filter myself except the Hoya Pro1D Digital 67mm and B+W XS-Pro UV 77mm. Both the Hoya HD and HMC are not "effect" type of filter, hence you will not notice any different snapping them. If to ask why one is priced higher than another, I'm pretty sure the description in the pages provided are pretty explainable by themselves. There is even video links in there smile.gif

Just some corrections

UV filter does have effect of removing glares
But came across an articles saying even lens hood prevents glare.

I reckon u should actually get CPL since lens hood can prevent glares. CPL is very useful when u r shooting in showroom when there are alots of glassess around and reflections. If u wanted those reflections then just simply remove the filter lol

Speaking of glares. I had experienced once glares appear on my photo when I shot with the B+W XS-Pro UV filter. Next I snap on the hood and it disappears.

UV filter doesn't remove glares, but absorbing/filtering ultraviolet rays. Hood does remove glares, but not absorbing/filtering ultraviolet rays. Nikon's Nano-coat does reduce glares as well.

Here's some description for UV filter: http://www.hoyafilter.com/products/hoya/pro1d-03.html

I know, but budget won't allow me. I just can't buy it for now sad.gif Why did you go for the D700? Was it too tight?

The thing about the D7000 is the focus points. It's far superior than the D90, and coz I'm buying the 85 1.4G, I have to be very careful with the focusing right? Extra points = 2016 RGB pixel instead of 420 RGB pixel, superior ISO, body, etc etc smile.gif
I see, but the point is bro, it's not that I feel that the D7000 is equal to the D700, it's just that I can't afford it. So I'm thinking if it's better than the D90 like the D700 is better than the D7000 hmm.gif

Would u mind explain what are the D7000 far superior than the D90 apart from the focus points and shutter speed?

Every sifus, can I ask how much does a 4 years old Nikon 17-55mm F/2.8 worth? I got a seller that willing to sell at AUD875=RM2,730.

Is the price ok price for its age? No more warranty.

Does it mean that the more elements in a lens construction, the sharper the image will be? Apple added another element into their camera phone and claim it will enhance the sharpness of the photo.

AFAIK Nikon's pro grade lenses are weather sealed. I'm not sure yet what it to be meant by the "weather seal", but somehow celciuz's 70-200 VRII has dust in it even though it's weather sealed?
I know I can get most of it out from Google, but being kinda busy with work at the moment, I thought starting up the topic in here will have the equivalent amount of information flows. Furthermore, I prefer reading people's experience than reviews on the net. Some may have a different thought with it and it could be fascinating to be shared out smile.gif
So, does it mean only the L lens have them? BTW, does the L stands for anything? laugh.gif
That's a deal if you ask me, but need to check the condition of the lens thoroughly before purchasing smile.gif

Mind teach me a few simple steps to check it?^^

Wanna ask about Video.

How long i can shoot  a video depends on what factor?

How big the size of the card?

How fast the card write data?

Class 10?

If i want to allow myself the flexibility to switch to video when e.g. function and there's performance, optimistically, i should get class 10, as big size i can with fast data writing capabilities E.g. 30mb/s?

Its cheap, get it if good condition.

Check fungus, check focus, check zoom, check serial number
