Hello guys, what do you think regarding this combination -

D60 + Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD ?

Will the lens last me for a while before upgrading ?

The search is still on for DSLR and frankly I find that my target will be Nikon.

Owh, thanks. Anyway, if I were to get the Tammy lens (Tamron 70-300mm with the Macro capability), do you think I still need the kit lens 18-55mm ? I actually think I can save up few hundred bux Sorry limited budget poor student here. Sold most of my pc hardwares to get DSLR to play with

I cant be like you, can invest most of high end stuff hahaha. Not all la uncle, most only, leaving the basic hardwares (no worries, I still love the LianLi you modified,not for sale ). To fund on new toy.

Because Im kinda familiar with Nikon after few months my friend's D40 in my hands, so I narrow down my choices to Nikon, still lotsa research and study to be done

Thanks for enlighten me bro zio. I actually more into Macro and consider the lens is kinda best bang for buck. But as you said, group or wide shots, there will be time when the kit lens is needed too. Besides, Im still in learning process/progress, I guess I'll go with kit lens first, after getting understand with the camera, then only save more money to invest on better lens. What do you think ? Perhaps if go for SB600 first would be wise

With raynox ? Guess that'll save me few hundred bux before traveling into real Macro lens. Great. Thanks abang xandman.

Aite noted. Will take the lens info into account. Its so hard to talk technically regarding the cam when you dont have one. Perhaps this weekend I'll go hunting, hope to get a good price. vladimir did offer a good price for d60 kit but the thing is hard to trust postage nowadays, afraid that camera will be lost during shipping. He's in Penang while Im in KL.

Thanks bro zio. Im sure there's lotsa stuffs I will ask in the future, gotta learn, effective way - learn with a camera in hand

The more I look the more I fell in love with Fisheye, I better stop window shopping, the poison here very strong =P

Owh yeah, anyone here has experience with raynox ? Bro zio ?

zio : Superb shot with Raynox and G9 there bro. Tempting

Hopefully the D60 kit price will be down with the D90 launching.

I see, will scout around this weekend, if got no better offer sure I'll get back to you okie.

Will definitely trying out the Raynox first before jumping to higher end macro lens. Judging from the pic you taken by Raynox, it was so nice

I see, yeah, SB600 is the speedlite that doesnt burn the hole in wallet yet performing wise. I really love the bounce flash. Today went to photoshoot skate competition in my college, the built in flash for my friend's D40 wasnt sufficient at all

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/778078

Check this out, too bad its in Sg. Else would have gone and grab D60 kit

My case is Im already familiar with Nikon interface, so it might awkward using other brand, not that I dont wanna learn, its just I simply love Nikon interface (But to be truth yesterday using Canon 400d, the menu is simpler than Nikon as it has few shortcut buttons).

But based on 1000D review from dpreview.com, it doesnt score much compared to D60. But that's just a review. Buy what you think is right, afterall its your DSLR and you'll be the one who use it, not the people from the review tho

Bro ifer can get it for RM2.1k -

Seems like a good bargain. I think Im gonna talk to my dad later this evening. Wish me luck

Hello, just wanna ask anyone who is using Nissin Di622 ? How its perform ?

Or any aftermarket speedlite that can match SB600 with the budget around RM400-500 ?

Added on September 1, 2008, 6:11 amEdit : Found the review by brother orenzai. A good speelite I must say. Can get it I guess and save some for prime lens

I see, thanks. I guess after getting the D60, first toy would be that Di622. Want to get good potrait tho.

I thought so too, but the price differ RM300 is a point there, and orenzai did a good review about it. Still not sure tho.

Then will you trade your SB600 for SB400 ? I dont mind go buy new SB400 and trade with your SB600. Haha. Joking bro

I think you can put it up for sale, and get the SB400 tho.

Would like to know, what is the best bang for buck for all around AF-S lens for D40/D60 ?

Or budget Macro/Potrait lens ?

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 ?

Nice Lalat. Delicious, made me hungry.

Anyway, rainy day, still yet to bring out my DSLR around, Im thinking of going to Lookout point in Bukit Ampang there (otw to Ampang from Hulu Langat) and try out night scene of KL tonight.

Went out to Ampang Lookout point to capture KL night scene, but most of my shot either underexposed or overexposed. Haih. Have to play with shutter speed and aperture more and more. Might post up the pics for sifu sifu sekalian comment.
