why i so outcast?  no thread for ppl like me 

a camera is not meant to be left from harm's way. i would take it anywhere. it's gonna spoil or get outdated one day so might as well just make full use of it.

and a lil sea water wont hurt it at all..

that's what i thought too, but alot of ppl are advising me saying saltwater is a killer! thinking twice...

i will buy new lens soon and i'm looking for nikkor 18-200vr. is it ok if i use this lens with my D80?

1.4 is way overbudget.

Would this lens be good for indoors like for family dinner shots and also maybe at small events/gatherings?

The only downside is that there isn't zoom isn't it?

If i want a prime with zoom, it'd cost a bomb right? like the 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR.

I want to get a lens for that purpose, but I am on a budget.

I am stuck with my kit lens 18mm-135mm.

they can :-p

i just wanna buy a new lens arnd rm300-400. Any recommendation?

I am eyeing on a 50mm F1.8 lens.

dun get 18-200mmVR

get 17-55mm f/2.8 + 28-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8

what's with my gear la.. my gear is even lower, its D70s, not D80...
I don't have superb lens.. I wanna get 17-55mm F2.8 (if got money ) I also don't have 70-20mm F2.8 lens.. I only have 70-300mm G type. I don't have any VR lens... cheap cheap lens only i bought not even external flash.. (but I don't plan to buy also. hehe.. )

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?

Interested in D80 but EOS400D very tempting le. CAN ANYONE CONVINCE me why to buy a Nikon? Canon has this dust cleaning thing, CMOS and is much more cheaper...

Why D80?

but spec wise 400D wins hands down

I finally got my MB-D80, just in time for Japan GT in Sepang tomorrow. Anyone else going?

I got the MB-D80 for RM480 and another EN-EL3e for RM170. I think the battery was a lil more expensive.

I get quote for Battery grip and extra battery at Rm595 only.
Got my D80 today at the Camera fair in lowyat.

the first 2 pic use tamron 90mm and the rest use 10-20mm.

tamron 90mm about rm1395, sigma 10-20mm about rm2375 now. (according to shashinki.com)

I bought the tamron 90mm Rm1350, & sigma 10-20mm about Rm1800. Dunno why the sigma 10-20mm price increase, same price as sigma 12-24mm..   luckly I have bought it..

Whoa , extremely expensive for the 90mm.
Could better get 18-200mm Vr top up another seven hundred bucks yea ?   

I'm waiting for my battery packs to be charged. Last nite charged my Nikon pack, later after work will charge the aftermarket batt pack
Errr...actually I wanted to do the same thing...hold it while sleep. But due to my nature of sleep habits, I'm afraid the D80 will fall from my bed! hehehe
By the way, I got my D80 with accessories for RM5700. Package includes:

1 x D80 bodykit
1 x 18-135mm lens
1 x SB-800 speedlight (with Sanyo rechargeable battery)
1 x EN-EL3e Li-Ion battery
1 x after market battery
1 x original Nikon bag
1 x 2GB Nikon SD-Card
1 x tripod
1 x UV filter
1 x lens blower

What do u guys think about the price? Is the price ok?

Hi guys,

I just shot some photos in my friends wedding. I must say it's a good challenge. The lighting are difficult to catch the correct WB for the shots.
I have something that i don't quite understand. How can i get the correct WB for my shots? And about the shuttle speed, i read from DCM that if i'm using a 50mm lens, i have to set the shuttle speed to 1/50, then what about 135mm? If i set it to 1/135, it's too fast to capture any lights in the shot.
Please advice.

Thanks
