out of the 4 shinchan recommended, i think the 50mm1.8 or the 18-70 would be a nice start

QUOTE(AlamakLor @ Feb 6 2007, 04:48 PM) You know they dont ok,tht was exagerrating but i do handheld with my 80-200 2.8 and it's alright. the big aperture helps though. they use tripod + timer/remote and camp really far to snipe the target  Yeah I dun wanna waste $$ on the filters, but I do plan on getting a polarizer in the future just to take some fishy shots. For protection, I think hood is good enough. i used to used mc(fell n broke) and a uv but after i bought my cpl i took off my uv and never found a reason to put it back on. if dirty then clean the only other filter that i would recommend are nd filters, very interesting to play with |

QUOTE(chinchze @ Feb 6 2007, 10:17 PM) nd filter is for what purpose? What situation we can well utilize it? Thank you. nd filter is like a sunglass, makes everything darker to reduce your shutter speed. very useful when u wanna show motion |

QUOTE(sooyewguan @ Feb 7 2007, 08:49 PM) already make my mind to buy 400D, but now there is a promotion for D80 and the attractive prices offered make me uncertain now. get the 135kit buy a card card , monopod maybe or a bag with the cash points Body only: ~RM 2,740.00 70mm Kit: ~RM 3,820.00 135mm Kit: ~RM 3990.00 * another 10% discount for above price (cash point) So do you think its worth to get Nikon D80 instead of 400D ? Buying the kit or body only and buy others lens ? Thanks for your opinion.  |

QUOTE(vcsy2000 @ Feb 8 2007, 05:00 PM) Hi Oracle, bravo! Even i'm new in the forum, i know many of them here already bored with this question. Let me answer you then. Go, to sungai wang. Or even BB Plaza.... Walk around.... ask around There is no 1 particular shop that offer lowest price for all their items. Some items cheaper, some more expensive then other shops. Shop smart.... and bargain too.  |
