IMHO, kit lens are normally not super fast on AF but usable if you just picked up photography, as for the focal length, having 18-105 is always better than having 18-55 due to the extra reach you can get on the 105mm smile.gif

As for VR vs VR2, the only difference is just the VR2 is collapseable making it more compact than VR, the optics has no difference according to spec sheet icon_rolleyes.gif

Mirrorless's main benefits is their weight, but bear in mind that mirrorless's lenses are also quite limited (for Nikon) and they are more expensive as well sweat.gif

Hope that helps mate wink.gif

if im going to buy back mirrorless...its going to be sony...nikon is too limited and doesn't interest me
sony is still the the top in mirrorless...

Can you see me?

This large and beautiful huntsman spider may be partially legless, but it is far from being helpless.

Despite still being able to move at great speeds, the spider prefers to press his body onto the tree trunk, making it extremely hard to detect!

And did I mention this is one of the most beautiful huntsman spiders out there? *____*

Dont think there is any nikon wideangle that cost around 1k iirc. 16-85mm is a good lens apart from the variable aperture.

as for 80200 afs i've used my friend copy few times and seems solid. heavy as heck and build like a tank laugh.gif. the afs motor also smooth, no hunting like 80200 two touch that i've used before.

oh yea anyone here use tamron 2470 vc? currently using nikon 2470 thinking of upgrade (or is it upgrade) to tamron 2470 vc lol  blush.gif

thanks for the reply biggrin.gif glad to hear that it's a good lens then.

limited in terms of what?

Mind you, most E-mount lenses are a lot more expensive compared to Nikon/Canon/Sigma/Tamron equivalent. And there's no point talking about how good/ bad a system is if you are only going to use kit lenses. smile.gif

From what i can see nowdays people buy sony mirrorless camera then buy adapter and slap on nikon or canon manual lenses since the A mount lens either too expensive or not yet available

I have a friend who sell off his A7R and bought Fuji XT1. The reason is limited lens choices from sony (this guy money no issue one laugh.gif)

Exactly, the sensor is good and the body is small that's it. And at the end of the day, FF lenses will still be big no matter what's the flange distance (Leica lenses excluded).

Wanted to ask fellow nikon sifus here before I jump into nikon tongue.gif

Is there any good wide angle lens for nikon dx system that costs around rm1k (used or not)? Closest result from my own research is the 16-85mm. The kit lens is doing fine but I would like a more responsive AF lens.

And how's the 80-200 f2.8 Af-s like? it's quite an old lens so any common issues with it?
*
the cheapest around rm1k i guess is tamron 10-24.
80-200 af-s is known for the motor crapping out.
if u can afford to, dont think twice and just get 70-200 vr2.

that's the thing I am worried of because of the age of the lens. but if the afs motor dies, can the screw driven AF work?

70-200 is too expensive for me cry.gif

btw what's nikon policy to grey bodies?

shocking.gif not a good thing then, repair should cost a bomb for a lens that level.

hmmm the thing is I am getting a d5200 so I can only rely on AFs motor. But I think a used d7k with 80-200 Af-d should be cheaper hmm.gif

user posted imageA male Reinwardt's Argiope Spider- Argiope reinwardti ♂ by PF T.J., on Flickr

A male Argiope spider resting on his web on a cactus plant- ouch! This particular species of males are darker in terms of colour and have unique, double-white bands which are especially prominent on legs I and II.

Male Argiope spiders are very much smaller (~7-8 times) and less showy than the colourful and attractive females. This means that the males are harder to find.

user posted imageA red Gea Orb-Weaver Spider- Gea sp. ♂ by PF T.J., on Flickr

A red coloured, male Gea. Notice how the male of this particular genus of spiders are similar to those of Argiope (Above)?

This is because the genera Gea and Argiope are closely related to one another.

Two of the main differences between these two genera of spiders (apart from looks) are the structure of webs, and also the position of the posterior eyes.

It is interesting to note that the size difference between male and female Gea spiders are much smaller than those of Argiope.

oh ya, 80-200 AF-D 2-ring version can have issue of the AF-MF ring cracking.
but its still a cheaper fix then changing a motor tongue.gif

but at the current used price of the 80-200 2-ring now its still decent value...else there's always sigma 70-200 tongue.gif

too bad Nikon doesn't make cheap 70-200 f4 like canon does (non IS but at 2k its unbeatable). but 2.2k for the AFS is no brainer right?

Tried sigma 70-200 before, a little too soft and focusing is quite a pain to deal with if you got a bad copy sad.gif
