May I know how much you bought your Tamron SP AF10-24mm?

thanks for the info

btw, someone advised me to get a wide angled and wide aperture lens so that i can take pics in wide angled but most importantly i can do so in low light/ indoors.

f4 is not wide aperture right? got something like f2.8 wide angled lens?

i wanna take wedding pics and need help guys.. what model/brand lenses should i get. 55-200 i got already.

I might be aging more than I originally thought... but didn't you already buy the Alpha, and proclaimed so loudly only a couple o pages back?

If you have indeed bought the D60, grats on your purchase. I'm not gonna be nasty about it but I would advise that being humble in your comments don't hurt, especially if you're new to a group.

Wedding pics... get the 17-50mm f2.8 Tamron, and get yourself a good flash SB-600 or some Nissin. 55-200 isn't necessary unless you're not the main photographer and have trouble getting into prime spots.

u know.. sometimes, when u r the main photog also.. got trouble getting into prime spots.. u know la.. those wannabe photog with P&S

Who needs zoom! shoot with prime!

yeah i've got d60 because of the lighter weight and better feel in my hands.

17-50mm f2.8 has a af-s motor right? rm1.x k?

nissin what model?

Yeah find the model with the built in motor... last time I checked before the price increase it's RM 1350 for a grey set.

No idea on the Nissin flashes... gotta get someone else's opinion on that one but the SB-600 will do fine though might be slightly more expensive.

that's the cheapest wide angle/wide aperture lens i can get or got other models that are cheaper?

grey set meaning AP?

yes grey means AP...
unlike mine...the grey actually refer to the lense color

there are alternatives...
juz depends on how wide is ur wide...

if lets say wide with wide aperture? the best of both worlds? what model should i get.. cause if small aperture, cant do well in lowlight right?

Wide with widest aperture (if you dont care about budget)

- Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 (wide enough both range and aperture)
- Nikkor 10.5mm f2.8 (wide, really wide)
- Sigma 4.5mm f2.8 (so wide until you can see a circle)

wow... that would be reallly expensive.. erk!

if im on a budget of about in the range of 1.2k? what lens model /brand should i get?

if 1.2k...
i think u can stretch a bit lor...
get the tokina 12-24 f4....arnd 1.75k

for wide angle...slow aperture doesnt really matter... =)

Unfortunately the cheapest wide lens with fixed aperture (f4) I know of is also around RM2k now.

Unless you can find used ones. I know there is a Tokky 12-24 f4 tat is going for RM1400 (nego) at YL. Hopefully it is still there.

Other than that, the widest you can go for is 17-50mm or 18-50mm but those are likely to be above 1.2k as well.

guys2..wanna ask.. nikon lens 18-70 good ar?

one of the best kitty made by nikon...
so go figure!

The better ones among the kit lens. But I think the 18-105mm is as good optically. Although the built is not as good as the 18-70mm.

i asked one seller and he said 18-70mm 3.5-5.6

AND NOT 18-70mm f3.5-4.5

is there such a lens 3.5-5.6 18-70mm???
