huh? D40 good in taking landscape? y? nvr heard of it

IMO, landscape is the most easy thing to take, and almost all kinds of camera take nice landscape pic even with a PNS.

But of course have to be at right time to take nice landscape. esp when the sky is clear.

because i know that person ( not really know )..but my cousin purchase a lot of lenses from him..so he give me this price...

but sometimes i belive 2699 is not very cheap..cos some1 has the price of 2700 with body + kit + 1GB memeory card

there is NO camera when specially design or better is taking Potriat, landscape or anything...

It's all about skill, control of your camera and the LENS you use ...of course speed of camera is very important also...400D !!

Have you heard of a Seitz or a Hasselblad or a Mamiya or even a Fujifilm or Pentax? not the 35mm though.

Skill, yes. Lens? not really. Speed? Generally dSLRs have the capability to do BULB, or 30secs to 1/4000secs for a shutter. Please look at this forum or other popular forums, there are plenty of nice photos, supposedly taken from a pro with expensive gears. You will be surprised with the equipments they use and whom they are.

My advise to you, you are so badly needed to develop your skills first rather than to bang the wall with a teaspoon. Also, there is the need to check with the facts PROPERLY preferably with hands-on knowledge. It will not make you more compelling among other photographers over here, instead you will be a laughing stock for the wickeds and you will confuse even more the already confused newbies asking for advice.

Remember, a photo speaks a thousand words!
It will not only tell what's within the photo but also how far are you in taking photos.

99% pro photographers now a day depend on software editing. This is also due to photos taken in digital format not like last time using film. So, there is nothing to shout about in a pro photographers now a day.

Not everyone that own FilmSLR/DSLR must become a pro photographers. Everyone can own one or more FilmSLR/DSLR if they got $$$$$$. They can use expensive camera & lens to snap normal pics, there is nothing wrong about it.

"Photo speak a thousand word". So stop your nonsense and post more photos and let the photos speak for themself.

Cheers

You've totally missed the point. I'm generally telling g88 that gears does not matter and stop whining and get real. At the same time, don't confuse people with inaccurate information

agree with you...maybe some ppl just so skeptical .....

and now you know which shop to avoid. kindly name the shop please.

the 2nd pic at full zoom IINM. i found NEW unit of that same lens at RM 590 over at J-One amcorp mall. no filter la. you get your own filter.

see how sharp this pic is:P

you people just like to show-off your above RM 2k lens.

what 2k lens? 200mm pic only wut, not even 300mm yet.

hehe. in general la. your siggy sez it all.

If size does matter, then it's time for 500mm lens

to jian.see

the sigma 70-300 apo macro is a good lens for starter with reasonable price...i heard some ppl complain about the slow AF...i think this will only know when u had a hand on experiment for it...

the macro mode only able to used on 200mm above so the focusing distance is 1m which is abit far but do u think it is a problem for u..and this lens is 1:2 but not the true 1:1 macro lens.

the pic u show, where this lens able to get such close up is bcoz of the extension tube..which reduce ur focusing distance so u can get closer to ur subject. i saw some ppl using this lens and produce excellent image..so i think skill play the main role..so no need worry about other...just buy whatever u wan...and learn from it...

thanks for the reply

as a beginner, i think this lens is suitable for me, although it has some draw back..but still it is worth for the price.

yupe, from the link that i have posted above, i saw some of them take nice, excellent pic with this lens, but of course some of them only produce so so pic, i 100% agree u the skill of a photographer is the main role.

Most probably i'll get this lens

yeah, my Tamron macro mode you have to set to 180mm - 300mm range then only can use.
