there's no 50-200...
maybe u want 70-200?

Maybe you mean 55-200mm. It is about RM900 without VR and RM 1200 with VR

Where can i get D60 manual. I bought a second hand but its not include the manual. Only a simple instruction how to do this and that. I need a thick manual..help me

How much will be the best deal if I'm to get it in KL?
What free gifts will be included?

get the VR version..seriously it makes a difference. i tried it for quite a while now and it's much much better than the one without VR at 200mm.

to be honest im thinking of not selling my 55-200... happy with the closeup/macro performance.. wanna get a raynox 202 or 250 and get betttter results for macro shots..

@bolded : then u havent seen what a true macro lense can do...

haha i agree with xandman. why? because the 55-200 cannot get as close as the kit lens even.wait till you try a 105mm

Normally where do you all buy your gadgets?
I'm living in S'ban and cannot afford to always go too far to buy them.

@bolded : seen pics of it already lar. why ido u think t's called a "MACRO" lens if it's not better then other lenses in macro shots?

yeah.. there's a lot of REAL macros on the internet la... i've seen it already. maybe u haven't seen how a true macro lens burn holes in your pockets. especially when im not going to specifically shoot macro.. duh

find this e-book from the google... "Wiley.Nikon.D60.Digital.Field.Guide.Jul.2008.eBook-DDU.pdf"

this is really helpful for newbie like me...

i also own a 55-200.at 200mm, the min focusing range is 1.1m wheres for the kitlens at 55mm you can get as close as 28cm. though, the perspective of the shot is diff already

55-200 vr is rm1200? have the prices of lenses skyrocket? Cuz I bought my vr for 850 :/

i like it at 1.1m because the bugs are less likely to fly away..hehe

the point is that it cant go as near as the kitlens but then if you put a raynox on it then its a total diff story

raynox kills IQ!

chewlf,
do you have sample pics comparing with and without the SB600?
me a newbie in dslr and just bought a d40...my next purchase plan is the SB600...

thanks...

Feh! It does well for its price. And its a good introduction to macro. Having said that, I miss my macro hahaha

hahahaha...
time to get ur macro rig back?

keyyeonh,
I will upload some photos for you to review when have time.
It won't be wrong if you go for SB600 first especially taking photo indoor. Even for outdoor portrait shooting, I also use to reduce the face shadow.

guys.. im thinking of getting either the famous Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 OR Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4.5... which do u think has better image quality and better price-performance ratio?
