For sure it will be cheaper if purchase in bulk.

Nice picture there .
Do you mind let me know why you're using 52mm +4 close up filter for 50mm 1.8d lens ?
I though the ring size is 50mm ?
*I'm kinda noob in all these.

Scotty : and what's the price for AF-S 70-200 F2.8 VRii ?


It's the price from Kl side as i might travelling there this sunday to buy it with Reddevil together.

no idea wat is D80..jz giving some support to the TS. keep it up

i got to sell off my d80 body, my 18200vr and my sb-600 to get AF-S 70-200 F2.8 VRii..

Well, 50mm 1.8d is not a macro lens. Adding a close up filter will make it a cheap alternative to macro lens. There are many types of close up such as +1, +2, +3 and +4. These are commonly used. Depending on what you shoot, you use diff close up filters. I got a +4, but I think it's way too close. I will be looking for a +2 now.

52mm is the size of the ring in the front. 50mm is the fixed focal length not ring size. You can't zoom with 50mm 1.8d lens.

When you talk about lenses, the range 18-200mm, 70-300mm, 24mm, 50mm, 400mm, doesn't mean it's the ring size. It's the focal length of the lens. The range that it can zoom.

I think this is pointless. It's just SPAM.

thanks for support , but , this is real spam......

tengteng ur galfren ah
call her out for shooting la

I was just too blur about the Focal length and ring size as it's 50mm , lol.
The kitlens that comes with d80 is kinda huge aye ?
67mm.

And is the 70-200mm vrii so expensive ?

well, the market price for AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8G IF-ED is around RM5990.

does anyone ever try Sigma 24-70mm F2.8? I was thinking of buying it, but I don't know is it good or not.

I wanna sell off my 18-125mm, & get something to cover between 20mm-70mm. (to cover between 10-20mm and 70-300mm)

my choice is sigma 24-70mm F2.8, tamron 28-75mm F2.8 or tokina 28-80mm F2.8. But if I get starting from 28mm then it will be a huge gap between 20mm to 28mm..

hmm.. what you all think?

Just my opinion. Get the Tamron or Sigma 17-50. From the gears u have, u better end up with this. As u said, if u get 24-70, u will have a gap between 20-24, and gap at wide angle is more noticeable than tele end..

With 17-50, yes u will lose the gap between 50-70, but at tele, it really not noticeable, a few more steps in front would be able to compensate it.

Yes, 17-50 clash with ur Sigma 10-20 then, but u have a less chance to swap lens

previously I was thinking of tamron 17-50mm also but now i also thinking of 24-70mm

so ur advice is getting the 17-50mm.. I'll think of it again..

edit:
IF comparing between Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 and Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-F4.5, which one will you choose?
