What To Get With A D200?

[ipin]

Guys,

I too, am drooling and eagerly awaiting the release of the D200.
I currently own a Sony F828 prosumer camera (would be my backup cam),
but would be getting the D200 + lenses & accessories when I can eventually
lay my hands on one!

These are what I am thinking of getting :

Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.4D
Nikkor AF-S DX VR ZOOM-NIKKOR 18-200MM F/3.5-5.6G IF-ED


Please help me decide between these two :

Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM
or
Tokina AF 12-24mm F4 - AT-X124 AF PRO DX

Flash : SB-800

What do you think? Or what would you be getting if you have set approximately S$6K aside for your 1st DSLR D200?

I would get D70 + 12-24DX + 17-55DX.

You ask me what to get ma.. I would get those.

If you want the tele range your budget won't fit lor. Add in a 70-200VR.

hahahahaha, like that Vit. M will run out very fast!

Hoping not to waste $$ buying lenses that I would
not have chances to use them. Thinking of getting lenses
with a good mix of ranges for any/most occasions.

hahaha! I agree that these are damn fine lenses, like that they almost
cost $6K liao! Body still haven't purchsed!

But then why not the 50/1.4 but 50/1.8?

Besides the price tag, do u notice much difference (response, handling) besides the advantage of an extra stop?

[Beachboy]
