hey guys, opinions please im still waiting for the 85mm f1.8G. should i continue to wait or should i just get a tamron sp90? this is for a d40

usage: portrait, stage shots, compressed perspective

im also thinking about the tamron 70-200 f2.8. been reading about slow/inaccurate AF on tamron lenses. how bad is it for u guys? i dont mind the AF noise

thanks guys for ur feedback how about, say, taking a photo of someone on stage, e.g. graduation ceremony, VIP speech... can the sp90 AF do a good job? macro is not a concern for me, just a bonus

ah okay then i'll be patient. hopefully not too expensive

i think at least 1.6k too.

1) sell to me for rm650
2) yeap!

i got the chance to play with a tamron 70-200 f2.8 yesterday. reviews say the AF is slow but when i tested it (it was on a canon 60D though) i find the AF good enough for my usage.

can i assume the AF performance is the same with sp90? if it is, ill probably get a used sp90 instead of waiting for a brand new 85/1.8G. can save almost 1k

im also thinking if i should just spend extra for the tamron 70-200 instead. great lens but im not so sure if im comfortable carrying such a huge one

also, is it clear that my watermark is 'dzimalrash.com'? im scared people wont get the 'D'?

errr u know UV filter doesnt do anything right? just for protection purposes ma. no need filter also nevermind.

bring both the 60mm and 18-105. make sure u shoot at max resolution because u'll need to crop a lot later to compensate the 105*1.5=~160mm max focal length. but when u're not shooting tee off, switch to the 60mm. group photos, back to 18-105

oh, learn to use flash for daylight, as well as spot metering, if u havent know these yet. u dont want to end up having pictures with nice backgorund but the people are too dark

expensive because it's good la! buy so expensive but never use, that's a waste of company money what

max resolution i mean shoot at the largest size. i see some ppl chose to shoot at smaller size so 'they can take more photos'. dont do that. since u'll be shooting from afar, u'll need all the resolution u can have.

ISO is something u almost always should use the lowest possible. RAW or JPEG up to u, too many arguments about this

i think u should leave the flashgun if u dont know how to use it. it'll just weigh you down. just pay attention to where the sun is, and the built-in flash should be enough for fill flash. that's my opinion la, im never a fan of flashguns

using my gf's D60 with kit lens only ;P

anyway, who's in miri here? got nikon club event at grand old lady. anyone joining?

nice this lens no preorder kaaa

im in miri though yea pls let us know when can get it ASAP hehe
