I saw many people said build up good lense first before you jump FX, actually how does it works?
You buy all good prime DX lense and later move to FX body, still the DX lenses need to be upgrade right? Or does it means using FX body with the existing DX lense, and slowly convert DX lens to FX lens

Now I considering D600, but I don have much good lense now, so I should stick back D7000?

Now using d3100
My lense:
AFS Nikkor 70-300 4.5 5.6 G (my favorite lense, I like far shot)
AFS Nikkor 50mm 1.8 G (for fast, night, or good bokeh)
AFS Nikkor 18-55mm 3.5 5.6 G (anything else)

Or maybe their focusing chip doesn't really work well with Nikon AF system Maybe kena sabotage xD

When they say build up good lens first, it means buying FX lens. My case, I started with 50, 70-200, 16-35, 85 then jump to FX. After I jump to FX only added 35 and TC.

50mm f/1.8G is a FX lens, 70-300 also is FX just if you jump FX you need a mid range or a UWA... consider the 24-120, 24-70 or 16-35? or the mighty 14-24

IMHO. good lens is indispensable.
having a good lens is better compared to awesome body but entry lens. Talking about bokeh, when u venture to FF.. u wont go back to DX.

most of the DX user contemplate for the last upgrade which is going to FF ( $$$ ). if u have the budget. why not?

Except when you need the 1.5x telephoto I technically "went back to DX" when shooting MotoGP with my D800

Pic is noisy... mainly due to high ISO, but it was raining also so that's affecting the optics too

Comparison when shooting without the rain...

get the D700 if ur on a budget
get the D800 if u have the moolah - trust me, 36mp is just nice. not overkill/too much/too keng/monster kill/watsoever. its just nice. and also..phenomenal
dun get the D600 unless nikon fix the dust sensor issue. if ur doing studio shoot sure dulan kaw2

Landscape and motorsport panning also will dulan kaw-kaw haha...

oh ya..haha

if landscape shooters, might see lots of unknown objects in the sky. maybe dust or aliens..x-files

weeee-uuuu-ooooo <--- x-files music

i have a question too.
so far i have 11-16, 18-55 ( kit ) and 85.
while having all these i was craving for prime for the middle.
do u guys recommend taking 35 fx or the dx?

Many thanks for the valuable advice
I don't do studio and motorsport also
Haven't reached that level yet Haha
Still... I will consider your advices, maybe save for a few months more

Unless you're shooting in Australia then it could be flies... I had to burst when taking landscape... cause the fly tend to get into my frame and spoiling the pic! LOL

But if you want to do in future will probably dulan kaw-kaw... you spend more time cleaning than shooting, if not then more time PP haha!

Like what celciuz sifu had mentioned... Its probably better to build up lens for fx

Get the DX since you're on DX. Unless you planning to go for the bigger bomb... the f/1.4G.

drop da bomb!! hahaha XD

bomb these day very expensive ! save money on bomb, get FX first xD

Thanks, so FX lense will work perfectly for DX body? Only concern for FX lens is price...?

Better stick back d7000 and practice more

yes d7k rocks..

I'm currently using a 28-300mm with D3200.... So far so good...... Might change to FF body somewhere this year....

So.. What are you going for bro?
D600 or d800?
Now I'm pretty confused @@

Are you... stalker? Just kidding haha! Lots of reach in that lens on DX but loose quite a bit on the wide end.

D800, fatt!

Might go for the D600 or D700..... Unless someone offer me D800 (2nd hand) at the price of a new D600......
