Regarding Nikon D50 kit package

[hirowen]

If i buy the nikon D50 kit package, it doesnt include any complementary lens right?

[kcuf2]

huh? wat do u mean complimentary lens?
the word "kit" = there will be a lens together with the d50 body..

if the package has no lens, it will say "body only"
and btw, d50 package is a kit set, inside definitely has lens

[hirowen]

oic! cuz when i looked from the nikon price list, i thought that the 'kit package' is refering to the sd card, nikon bag, and the cleaning kit.. sorry a newbie here

sorry..is it AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5 - 5.6G ED (3.0x)?
btw, does it refer that it only have aperture f/3.5 to f/5.6 only? And a 3x zoom?

No. f/3.5~5.6 signifies the maximum aperture it can open up to. As for the minimum, it depends on individual glass. Common minimum aperture is f/22, some f/16 and some f/32.

3x, 2x, 100x, is all useless terms.

70-200VR = 2.8x but does it mean that it's shorter than 18-55?

500mm f/4 = 1x but does it mean it's shorter than 70-200VR and 18-55?

The actual range is more useful than just 'Xx' terms.

[Pynch]

3x, 2x, 100x, refers to the zoom ratio, ie the longest focal length divided by the shortest for that particular lens. Some people find this information useful.

[hirowen]

Oic! so this mean that during 18mm focal length the max f/ is 3.5. When 55mm focal length, the max is f/5.6 ?
So does anyone know what is the min f/ of nikkor 18-55mm lens?

How can it be useful? Read my post above yours #11.

Yep, that's right, however it might not be necessary that at 55 only then it's f/5.6 it probably will hit f/5.6 @ 50mm or even 45mm.

Minimum should be f/22 IIRC.

[hirowen]

And can i also conclude that its max f/ is 3.5 and nvr get lower than that?
