Need help on choice of lens & flash

championboxer · 25th November 2002

Dear pals,

recently got myself a D60.. actually a new user... Along with it, got a 20-35mm USM lens. However, think thats not sufficient.. may anyone pls share their five cents worth on what should be my next spending on?
(a) A flash - what kinda? 360ex? 550ex? whats the diff?
(b) lens - zoom - what kinda?

thanks

(a) get a 420ex, it will serve u well. 380ex has discontinued(less features than 420ex)
420ex inherited part of features from 550ex except manual flash settings, multi-flash mode

unless u got the grip, the 550ex will look too big on the body
it's a killer

(b) D60 has a imaging element of 1.6x on focal length
so a 28-105, 28-135 will be good for all purpose zoom or even the 28-200

a 24-85mm would be nice too, with 1.6x is abt 38.4-136mm

just my 2cts worth...

the other 3cts for others to share abt lens and flash performance
