heauaeh...same like me..certain pple think us like weird...
i got one man when i shot at night and i heard he told us "wah..professional" coz of using slr's and tripod oni..

bukan ini jenis ka yg u ckp?AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED? i kan baru lagi.. sorry la kalau silap.. anyway, this lense pun dah RM1k something rite?

lol, im used to it already. try that in a shopping complex.

Maybe it's the older 70-300mm (non-VR). That costs about RM500++. If it's the VR version, you should really treat your friend makan besar already.

Actually, the RM300 is enough for you to buy the 18-55mm only. No matter what lens that 300mm is, your friend is giving you a pretty good deal



Getting stared at is normal. DSLRs aren't that common yet (reminds me of when PDAs and smartphones aren't that common, using one will definitely draw attention).

A more funny scenario is when someone accidentally walks into my path when I'm composing and they 'lari' and/or duck away when they notice me. I always tell my gf beside me - "wah lau they don't need to run like that, my lens don't spit fire"

tq bro.. nice advice..!

it's ok bro...
no need sorry...
bcoz if that low...i wanna find ur fren...i want it!
hahahaha...
btw...70-300 is not a PRIME...it's a zoom...
a prime is a lense which has fixed length...=)

the prime one comes with a really nice price tag too, RM 18888 ...yat phat phat phat phat

ooh ya ka?? ape beza PRIME & ZOOM? ape beza fixed length and variable length? what difference does they make? ( rasa diriku mcm bongok giler lak kat sini.. hehe)

prime lens means that it has a fixed focal length, zoom means can adjust focal length, same like a digital camera 3x optical zoom or digital...normally fixed focal length lens has a bigger aperture and the price is greater, variable focal length lens usually come with a variable aperture, for fixed aperture, the price is a lot higher...

Prime lens: tak boleh zoom
Zoom lens: boleh zoom
Zoom: gambar dalam viewfinder boleh besar tanpa anda perlu berjalan ke depan

How to differentiate? See the lens description: 70-300 means it is 70mm widest, and 300mm longest. Prime lens will only have a single notation e.g. 50mm, 85mm, 300mm, etc.

Other than not being able to zoom, prime lens are usually sharper.

for example:
zoom lens such as 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 meaning can zoom range fr 18mm to 55mm...
prime lense such as 50mm f1.8 only hv fixed 50mm focal length...

now that's funny. Maybe they think you are snapping pictures for some media company and they don't want to be in it.

i dun think i can go on this saturday edy..
need to finish off college assignments after the due date was changed...

did you call them?

i took some pictures today and some of them came out rather 'boring'. I'm not sure how else to improve it. It looks a bit dark i think.

maybe u should post up some photo 4 us to comment...
should be able to get some advise on how to improve...

this is one of my bad picture http://www.flickr.com/photos/reneechung/2326378934/

I'm in love with our Nikon D40 after lots of trial & error! It's great..only you can't zoom very much. Spoilt by the Panasonic Lumix.

But it's awesome.

oic.. baru gue paham.. thanks a lot...!! baik hati la u all ni.. very kind of u all.. tak sabar mau beli then belaja sama u org..hhe

can our d40 use with the prime 50mm f1.8?
Btw, any d40 user from penang?
