Swt.... to be honest, a prosumer camera with a super 18x zoom lets you do everything in one.

But since you ask, you can get the 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 VR... cover everything from wide angle to telephoto.

If you want a Macro lens that can be used for portrait as well, get the Tamron SP90, now released with built-in AF motor too.

bang for buck = 18-200mm. Everything you need in one neat lil package. Other than fixed aperture of course.

Macro/Portrait would be Tamron SP90 (since ada motor already) or save up for the Nikkor 105mm

Today is beginning to get very weird for me.... seem to be posting along the same lines of what everyone else does... talk about ultra deja vu.

ya lor..i said that first

maybe coz i copied what you guys said? then i go insert the 105mm in it. Hahaha..

Hanoi pictars coming soon! I filter to 100+ already. Now to cut it down somemore.

Just went through my collection and pulled out this one... fisheye effect to the ultraness... MF on the D40/X/60, but just set to focus infinity and shoot...

Kinda makes my head spin when I see it....

I am interested to buy a Nikon D60.

Anybody can recommend where to buy in KL/PJ area?

Lowyat Plaza quoted me RM2k with 2GB sd card, 1 case and 1 tripod.

j-one la of coz...
give uncle jason a call...
i m sure u can get good price...

What's the fisheye lens used?

Itulah 10.5mm fisheye. I miss my fisheye More than my D300 LOL

the 10.5mm fisheye seems nice lens for d40/x/60

although it cant AF with d40/x/60, according to kenrockwell, ya, this fella again, he say he just put the focus between the infinity and 2m, everything will be in focus.. i thinks it is possible, with a relatively small aperture..

this is under my wishlist too.. lol

seem like everyone has a piece in the mind about AF-S like me.
why don't nikon answer us!

they are answering! i can see all of the future lenses being AF-S from now on.

hopefully newer AFS prime wouldnt be monsterous size as the sigma 50mm f1.4.......

no more light weight prime ~~~~

Just wondering where you get the list and mind to state the source as well ?

dunno if its true tho. read it on a few boards.
got it from http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/602349 and nikonrumours.
and its spread all around.

So for now it's just rumours i guess. but the rumours so far has come out to be true. fingers crossed for these ones too

nobody knows..its rumours... out of the 7 lenses stated only 1 came out and its already september

Sifu sifu sekalian recommend 18-200mm and Tammy SP90. Thanks guys. Starting saving up money

And yeah, met Bro Ifer last night, nice guy he is.



Can I join the owner list too bro orenzai ?

the 18-55mm VR is a nice lens.. and the plastic pattern texture matching the with my d40 body..
