i hear this is best of kit lens, which i sold like 2 years ago XD

i said KIT LENS. 

oh i thought after 18-70 discontinued, they introduce 18-55 VR... didn't know got 18-55 
also i thought 18-55 is the one with nano coat... 

oh well about 18-70  i forget who was told me about that.. not sure built quality or the IQ is still decent 

You put so many userbars ahh, Ah Wang will nuke your siggy lahh. My ManUtd userbar kena that guy nuke lohh.

Got one bro say the 18-70 is best kit lens wohh. Wanna have Jerry mia ahh?

If u wan to get 18-105 is still ok... Overlap a little bit only... unless ur saying 70-200 + 18-200...

Spamming time 



Valentino Rossi - Yamaha Factory Racing by Andrianz Nikon D600, 70-300mm,


Dani Pedrosa - Repsol Honda Team by Andrianz Nikon D600, 70-300mm,

wow, why you want entire focal range covered, are u a journalist?
i    to second photo,nice

whats wrong with owning a lot of glass? hehe but i think if got 18-105 then no need 18-55 dy la.. 70-200 better ! *runs*

My advice is, save the money
18-105mm is good enough for you to learn~
Save the money for the next lens (which will undoubtedly be more expensive) after you are done familiarizing with the kitlens  haha XD

ah I see.. if is fix focal lens, then would it be hard that you can't zoom in or out to snap, so we have to take our camera to walk closer or further to snap our target?

Another thing I not quite understand between ISO and Aperture ( I read the guide from The Verge here) ISO is light absorb into the sensors, so the aperture means?? so the more the better or lesser the better or manual? holy

Overlap a little nevermind one... 70-300 more futureproof... When one day u step into the FF world, u can still use it..

I assume you wanna get the 70-300 VR? To be honest, I tried the 70-300 non VR and kinda impressed with it being RM390 brand new. Tried it with D600 FX and as far as I know its much sharper on FX. Colour fringing and aberration both negligible. If your hands not steady, get the 70-300 VR lo.
BTW Oktoberfest '13!

Please C&C... Still new into macro


Snail by Pro3363, on Flickr

Great try man~
Good photo there

I think it has all the elements of a good macro shot, apart from the out-of-focus part as what silverfire sifu has mentioned

Its nice to have bokeh in both foregrounds and backgrounds (Not only for macro shots)  .
I think the trick to this photo (if you still want to frame it like this), is to know which area of the subject to be put in focus; in this case its the shell, rather than the snail's stalk eyes That's because the shell is much larger, imho its better to keep it in focus.

However, for other normal insects etc., usually people love to focus on the eyes~

KLPF yesterday, candid shot :\

Just change perspective can already

This photo isn't about what's in focus and what's not, perspective is important even in macro, try to get down to their level instead of photographing them from above.

eh? noneed big capital for basic macro la dude 

50mm 1.8D (RM200+ used)

Auto extension tubes (RM200+ also)

Extension tubes is used to move the lens further away from the camera body, increasing the native magnification of the lens.
