oi..dun poison me with VR la.. yesterday went to shop ask around RM1.5k right? i think normal AF-S 55-200 shud be enough.

How about 70-200mm?? The price is around RM800++ only..

so will they produce 50mm for AF-S?

yah, thinking to join the dark side still considering want to buy the nonac 350D or not....those lens put very high damage to me..

yah, cost around 2k..just now go vladmir shop play around with this prime lens, dam bright

if wan zoom and AF, 55-200mm is the cheapest, RM700-800, but no VR.

U might consider the 50mm f1.8 prime lens too that every Nikon owner have but it can't AF with D40. But just now i try with it with D40, really not hard to focus manually since the range is not big and im a noob too

agree, sooner Nikon will come with more AF-S lineup i think...and ur wallet will become thinner i think

Just join the dark side

no equipment la, just kit lens, slowly la..will get the SB400 1st...

i dun have MIP

who dunno mother is woman

i wish i have 18-200mm VR also

1) means no manual exposure right?
2) D40 dun have remote function right? i thought i read it somewhere.

how much sb600? forget to ask..only know sb400 around RM420

me here.

is it worth to get a 2nd hand 55-200mm at RM520 with no more warranty? New 1 at RM780 only.

PS : dun come poison me with the 18-200mm VR lol

sifus here, how to check if a 2nd hand lens is in good shape? what things to notice?

wow wkcheang, thanks for the guide

u are from penang too? if got any photography outing, hope i also can join u to learn more

Hey, i tot u praise Canon in my thread

btw, i training manual focusing with 50mm now..

There is some nice senior here borrow me fro training purpose, if i feel i can handle it right, i will purchase it. The new price for it is around RM380.

I found it not really hard to manual focusing even during night since it is not a zoom lens.

but lol, isn't it hard to focus on tha 90-300mm?

lol, the balancing part that i scare i'll screw up when pressing the shutter. i think manual focus on that lens only able to done perfectly on a tripod, at least for me..lol

this is the cheapest i can get in penang here. not sure about KL..let me know if u able to get a good deal.

Both, i make sure the subject is sharp in focus as well as the green dot blink to double confirm.

Well, i just got my hand into it yesterday so i only play around with the DOF inside my room maybe 1 or 2 weeks later so i can go to outdoor to have some shootings.
