Thank guys, i almost forgot the crop factor is come with body, not the lens.

f5calvin 85mm too expensive for me.

asrul mind to share why u ask me opt for 35mm rather than 50mm?

Thanks for ur 'campur tangan'...ur advise is welcomed and appreciated.

asrul yeah, tried before, 35mm is more suitable for me. I thought the reason u recommend 35mm over 50mm is something related to quality...

Anyway, thanks u guys opinion, i adi changed my mind to 35mm instead.

The reason i want to get the prime lens is the small size and light weight, and also i more interested on street photography & capalang photo like jepertine90. So 50mm and 80mm (especially after consider crop factor) maybe not suit for me becos not portrait priority. Another reason is current kitlens the more i zoom, the aperture will become smaller. So I have to always use flash gun for that especially for indoor and night shooting. I use 4pcs Panasonic 2050mAh AA rechargeable (from what i remember rechargeable is not that heavy last time, maybe due to high capacity) for My Nissin flashgun and the weight is

Will try hunt for it.

Any non-Nikon prime lens to recommend?

PS: Is it 'dangerous' to buy lens from garage sales? Via postage...

Guys, here i want to share something regarding aperture size.

http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/great-high...performance.htm

Please refer to 'math refresher' there. Seems like the aperture size = FL/xx is true like what i mentioned last time. Just i can't figure out why zoom lens is darker at the zoom end. Becos based on the calculation, aperture diameter of 18mm f/3.5 is smaller than 55mm f/5.6...

Then why 18/3.5 is brighter than 55/5.6 in fact the calculation show the reverse?

Best price...

Then sell me lower than 350...

For same FL, of course small f number is brighter.

I think the bold part explained my doubt.

Wait guys...The 35mm f/1.8G lens don have manual aperture ring, means it is impossible to reverse lens if i want to play macro?

IMO, camera replacement part/accessories most of them the pricing is unreasonable.

Last Sunday i saw the Nikon remote pricing, ridiculous high, just a button for shutter, RM290.
I just use my handphone to remote only...

DSLR is D3200...but Nikon shutter remote is universal, even u bought genuine remote is same for all Nikon DSLR.

Phone wise, galaxy S4...this phone got IR transmitter, just download free apps from google play then tata...

Maybe i read the price wrongly...

The remote is genuine Nikon part, saw from camera shop.

Maybe just RM29.00, not 290...

Read alot of entry level DSLR recommendation threads today...

Curiously i wonder why ppl seldom recommend Nikon entry level DSLR if compare to Canon and Sony? I read alot of reviews, those in depth analysis, also shown output quality from Nikon is higher than other brands in the same class. The most commendable item for Nikon is hard to learn for newbie in fact they know the quality of Nikon is better.

I dun know, before i own my D3200 less than 2 months ago, i have almost near to nil knowledge regarding the relation of exposure, shutter and aperture. But after less than 2 months, i already able to use manual mode now. Almost every night at home since i bought, i will take out my Nikon to play around even though i have nothing special to shoot (Yesterday i check my shutter count, reached 3359 just over 6 weeks), just shoot and compare the difference of each setting, read and understand the histogram, read online guide, read camera magazine (5th issue bought this week). IMO, Nikon menu setup is not as hard as they mentioned, each items has guide on that, just press a little '?' button will do. For me just same as driving a brand new manual car and learn all the characteristic from the feedback of the car.

My opinion, if ones feel difficult to learn, is not becos it is difficult, just they dun have enough patient and passion for it. Then i would recommend taking compact cam rather than DSLR, cheap and easy to use.

Just my thought.

Tonite go hunt for Nikon 35mm f/1.8G prime lens...

lol...immune to poison...
