[FirstDecember]

Aiyah... haven't buy si boh...

Simple..


D70S
18-70DX
50 f/1.8
SB-800 and u're good to go :thumbsup:


BBB MTL, buy first talk later. :thumbsup:

I second that.
If budget is a problem, get the 2nd hand D70s from the B&S forums. (Save around 300-400)
Also, a SB600 should be sufficient for your needs (so you save another $300 there)

hmmmm, is D70s a notch above????..... actually my intention is to get a not too ex body and save some $$ to build up on the lens...

 

[besh]

for entry i think...
1.) used D70 or D70s
2.) 18-70DX kit len.
3.) tokina 12-24 (which is good and solid as tank)
4.) SB600 or SB800 (suggest u play around with the build in flash, then decide later for the flash)
5.) Sigma 70-300 (for budget telezoom range) or Nikon 70-300 ED OR OR OR AF80-200

18-200 is good for "everything-in-1-len" option, but the focal length ratio is too huge, the picture quality might not as good as those with shorter focal length such as 70-200/80-200.

Don't simply BBB and then regreat later, unless you have such a preparation to upgrade/degrade. try to get 1 for urself to play around from your friend, then you'll have a better picture what you NEEDS and what you WANT.

Thank bro, you are the 3rd or 4th bro to ask me take D70 instead of D50... .... is it D70 good or D50 not so good.... :bsmilie: :dunno:
Anyway, will look at your advise on the lens... thanks

Yo bro, you refering to the 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro??? Good for macro?? How good/bad it compare to Nikon 105mm??

 

[SEXiao]

wah lan, post until I blur liao.... thought I already post a thread, but cannot find... never mind, post again.....

Bro espn and the all the bros, I am more or less looking at either Nikon or KM system... for Nikon system, I am looking at the following:

1. Nikon D50 w/kit lens (or D70 body only)
a. 18-55mm Kit Lens
b. 12-24mm(Tokina)
c. 50mm/f1.4 (if got kit lens, then 85mm f/1.8)
d. Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro or Nikon 105mm Macro
e. Speedlit SB800

the setup passable or not??? :dunno:

Just change the 12-24 to Nikkor 12-24 and 70-300 Sigma to 70-200VR and you're set to go. You'll thank me in the long run for making you BBB :devil:
