Tested Siggy 30mm f1.4 today. But not much poison I'd say as I feel 85mm poison stronger sleep.gif

I believe it is not 1:1. Could have gotten nearer but risk it flying away even faster. I will say test both out and see if the moving parts of the Tamron will bother you or not.

Sharpness wise, both are comparable. But of course 105mm with VR means you can use it to do a lil more.
Hahaha.. why else would it have stayed on spot? tongue.gif

Thanks for the compliment smile.gif But my macro still need lots of practice leh. As for using the 105mm during the whole trip, it made me think more. Haha cannot simple zoom in and out to shoot.
wahahaha nikkor lens more powderful poison biggrin.gif

Nikkor lens color nicer brows.gif

Aisey, both lenses serve different purpose. So I guess you tend to shoot portraits more?

Anyway, I love all my lenses - 18-200mm, 10-20mm and 30mm.

Here's street shooting with all 3 lenses:

The different between that 2 is just between VR and non VR. Price different as well.

3.6x zoom as it took 200 divide by 55 which equivalent to 3.6x zoom

If you take 70 divide by 18 you will get 3.9x zoom smile.gif

Telephoto got a lot. 70-300 VR also consider telephoto.
55-200 actually quite a good lens and VR help in low light condition smile.gif

nice series of photos.. really makes me understand their lifestyles more.. thumbup.gif
i see, but my bro's Sony A200 has more pre-flashes.. 2 times before the last one get expose if I am not mistaken..

I set it to REAR so that i can see the pre-flash in action, it is too fast in normal flash mode for me to see..

Canon dSLR also has that 2 times pre-flashes smile.gif

Consider the D80 + 18-55 kit lens (or 18-70 if budget allows) + a 50mm f1.8

Much longer lifespan then spending on the D60. D60 will cost your 2k++.

D80 kit is 18-135 not 18-55.

QUOTE(Saravanan07 @ Sep 10 2008, 04:34 PM)
How much will D80 cost now?

D80 body only RM 2,500+-

I meant body only + a cheap kit-lens. If you get the body + 18-135 it'll be quite a jump from the D60. I say a 2nd hand body with warrant about 2.1k + about 300 ringgit for a 18-55 should do it. Add a 50mm 1.8 for another 300 and that's a pretty nice setup already.
