Nope, I didn't...but VERY tempted to...pocket kosong la. Currently checking out it's reviews. Oh, and I did test the Sigma 70-300mm APO DG too, somehow I'm not so keen on it anymore. Cuz of the lack of VR/IS/OS, at 300mm camera shake like nobody's business. Plus, it hunts a lot too.

and miri, I can't view your photos. It doesn't show up here.

Well the Nikkor 70-300 is a pretty sweet deal with VR and all the works for 1.7k++ brand new. It's not a DX lens too so in case you ever upgrade to FX in the future it still can be used.

Thanx for the tip, my lord

Yeap. Any lens with the prefix DX will seriously vignette when used with the Full Frame body... which is why when people upgrade to D700 or D3, they sell off their 17-55mm f2.8, 10.5mm f2.8, 18-200mm f3.5-5.6... etc etc. cause those are all DX lenses.

FX lenses can be used for both DX and FX.

Damn...yet another thing to consider. But I doubt I'll be upgrading to a full frame format anytime soon, heheh.

I mean it's not a tongue twister or a deal-breaking issue... just something that's good to know, unless you're one of those who leap from D40 => D3 in 1 year.

If you like something reasonably priced, with good telephoto range, I think that's the lens to get. I'm eyeing it myself since I can't picture myself doing a lot of telephoto shots unless I'm at an airshow or zoo... etc... even then, those are daylight shots so I don't need f2.8.

has flickr changed it's size appearance. the text look so small now. What happened?? I'm on crt. sakit mata like dis.

What about the Tamron 70-300? I think now it's better to get than the Sigma...the reviews on the Sigma are so mixed, some good some bad. Plus, it's cheaper than the Siggy too...of course, VR is still lacking. Ah, last2 I'll just opt for the 55-200mm Nikkor la...haha.

Just the main page... I dislike the new design... a lot of crap.

At least our main flickr photostream still looks the same though.


I don't know much about Third Party lenses since I've never tested them extensively besides the 17-50mm f2.8 Tammy which I can definitely recommend (provided you get a good copy that doesn't back/front focus).

I guess the general concensus is that the Nikkors have better built than the Third Party lenses. Anything in the telephoto range that doesn't have VR/OS/IS is better left alone... unless you have a habit of carrying a tripod with you wherever you go.

New Tamron SP90?
How much liao?

don't worry, you'll get the hang of it soon. Btw, if you find that some colors are a bit over saturated. Use the hue/saturation adjustment layer to target specific colors to tone down. also, play with levels.

rm1300 from pro 1 at kota raya. Look for Alan.

Sharp and nice len, with vr, can be hand held... but beware at telephoto end (as with most lens), just a little bit soft...not a major prob though. Overall a good lens, imho.
