Haha, thanks guys, that's very nice of you all
Proposed in Taiwan already
Haven't decided on the big day haha

@wkwong91, actually most lens will become sharper when you stop them down. Post-processing can also help with sharpening too  The lenses you have are already quite sharp compared to kitlens 

I think there's only one lens that can perform exceptionally well at its widest aperture- The Otus 55mm F1.4, costs a bomb though haha

Time for D5100, D5200 or D5300 mate 
U know you want one
Same here, I suppose its the matter of the high resolution, which is why Nikon and many other photographers recommend pairing good glasses for the D800/E. Not saying any lens is bad here ya
I'm also using a 50mm and I sometimes shoot at F1.8 too when its very dark. I don't really mind the softness or even slight blurriness (due to low Shutter Speed) since after compression, they will not be very apparent.
Sharp subject in sharp photo is sharp~~~
Thanks man
I think you are very talented in landscape shots, that's why should invest in something more wide angled. I know nuts about landscape photography, but even with the 24-70 at 24mm, I feel that its not wide enough: can't seem to get similar final results as what the other sifus are showcasing T___T

Thanks... They are so cute...

Hi guys,

I'm planning to upgrade my kit lens, and I have 2 lens in mind.
Rather than browsing the review site, I would like to ask the experience of the user here.

Current lens in Mind would be the 2 famous comparison standard zoom, 3 may be, the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 VC and non VC also the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8.

Noise(auto focus) doesn't bother me much, but my main concern is the VC and the dust issue that my friend warned me about Tamron lens.

He got the Sigma one, and I've tried it and it is wonderful. However it is too heavy in my taste, as I'm more on walking and traveling, food photog kind of hobbyist.

I can't justify between between these 3 lens, which includes:

Tamron VC - Moderate pricing, quality ok, dust problem? Can fund a 50mm or 85mm for protrait with the saved $$
Tamron non-VC - superb cheap, no VC(might do some video), saved money and fund another prime. Can fund a 50mm or 85mm for protrait with the saved $$ or even throw a speedlite that I always wanted.
Sigma - Rm1.9k, super good in all aspect, but too heavy? a little expensive, but is it worth it?

Dilemma to the max. Some wise advice and justification would be nice. Getting either of these this coming Saturday for my Japan trip Next month.

Guys I know its a very bad idea asking this in Nikon Thread, But just 1 question to all d3200 users, why did u guys choose d3200 rather than sony A58?

no moneh... need some rest time for my pocket 

yeah planning to get either one of them soon. LR= lightroom is it?

oh shyt. i download GIMP instead. dayum~ 

Wah, so fast poison people lagi bro?   

no ppl do Nikon D5200 user sigbar ar? 

  GIMP so complicated to use

LR easier to use? any basic tips to start learning ?

hehe, don't learn bad things from me bro   
Thanks alot man~ Haven't got the bandwidth to upload to Flickr yet 

LR is the way to go man, beginner-friendly
And since most of us are using LR, it'll be easy to ask/teach too 

Wuwuw T___T Yeah, will go steal university line tomorrow

I'm no sifu la, usually the "loudest" ones in the forums are the noobest haha 

Still haven't buy bro?

Don't worry guys, I'm still the loudest one here in this thread miahahaa
ChaosSixth, LR5 should be very easy to find, if you know what I mean
Of course, LR4 is equally good, if you don't have a very powerful rig. LR5 is slower in many ways, especially if you are doing intensive editing 

Slow export might be due to USB2.0 or slow HDD 
Upgrading to SSD or hybrid SSD/HDD will improve performance by alot

I letting go wide angle only

Usually how wide only considered UWA? Just curious 
I think bro wkwong91 is looking for a Tokina 12-24 

calvin seak one is 16-35mm f4.

UWA, 11-16 is gooding.

Carl Zeiss 35mm 1.4
