Looking for 85mm 1.8g, I heard brand new now at rm 1450, anyone can confirm? Thanks!

Definitely can get cheaper

Really?? Where ? How much?

Could it be lens to lens variance? As in the best of non VC was compared against the lousiest among the VC?

yea, the 17-55 wont be performing that poorly.. the sharpness low compared to the tamrons...

hmm .. might be, but what about the nikkor 17-55?

here cheaper abit. lol

yup, definitely expensive, but it worth the price asked. the sukiyaki was actually 2 people's portion, just add another bowl of rice can fill up 2 stomach. and the sushi, having eaten at few places in kl, it's definitely one of the best, yet not the most expensive, and it's very reasonably priced given the quality (sushi isn't all about that piece of fish on top, it's also the balance and the skill to "pinch" it). after i came back from Tokyo, only realize almost all of my previous favorite Japanese restaurant became "fake" Japanese cuisine, but rakuzen (subang ss15), while not quite authentic, definitely didn't disappoint.

i bought mine rm1330 like that..from here https://www.facebook.com/CreativePhotoCamera?flyingspaghettimonster=ts&fref=ts

. cheapest maybe can get 1300 other place.

Thanks

Thanks

Thinking of getting a 90mm F/2.8 VC to do double duty as portrait lens and also to replace my current 60mm F/2 Macro lens

Or maybe just buy the 85mm 1.8G as a pure tele/portait solution.

VS

Any thoughts on this??

but AF more the tamron macro lens is slow, maybe wont be so good for portrait

The AF speed is quite comparable, since the Tamron is using a USD motor, and the 1.8G not really that fast (1.4G is way faster )

1.8G sharper

my dearest nikonians
come and see who win the KLPA 2013 first, second and third prize

petronas gallery 1st june 2013

Both are different purpose lens.

For the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 VC Macro, how much are you paying for? You can almost buy the Nikkor's 105mm f/2.8 VR, which is better in many ways.

Last nite in kk.. going home soon
