keep the kit lens unless u gona get another lens that duplicates that range. i love that range cos i like shooting events and weddings so the wide angle is quite useful. even if u sell it off, its only worth a low $100+.

Yeah, I got an offer for 100.
I've read some reviews that put the II version quite ahead of the older one. I'm really in two minds about keeping/selling because
a) i'll be naked below 50mm
b) apparently it's a a pretty decent lens for its price bracket.

Thanks for your input, appreciate it

The D40/x kit lens is a very decent lens... much better than the Canon kit lens. If by selling it you feel "naked" below 50mm, then keep it. Basically, it is good to have lenses that will cover a general range from wide angle (e.g. 18mm = 27mm in 35mm format) to about 135mm (= 200mm in 35mm format). Most shots in general should fall under this range... and then you can expand to much wide, e.g 10mm, and much farther, e.g. 300mm, later.

I think it was the 18-55mm kit lens that came with the D40. I have since sold it away.

Thanks man. I guess if I can get hold of a 2nd-hand Sigma 17-70 HSM then I'll let go of the kit lens. If not it might be good to keep this lens for my KL + Dhaka + BKK trips at the end of the year. I was just worried about depreciation of the lens. Then again if I decide to upgrade my D40, it might make selling the body (with the lens) easier.

Thanks again.

Hi, Anybody know where we can buy LCD protector for D40/x? I cannot seem to find one. Thanks!

I'm open to correction, but from what I know: if you're looking for the hard plastic cover like the one for D80 or D200, Nikon isn't making them. You'll have to make do with the LCD protector films (like for your handphone screen).

Cheers

hey guys... i have a friend using D40...
Any one can update me if there is something wrong with the metering ?
It seems like the metering is not accurate especially taking sunset shots.... It is under by 6-7 stops...
Or is there somethign wrong with my fren D40 ?
For me i got no such problem with my D80.
Thanks in advance for all help rendered from you bros/sis :lovegrin:

If you have the sun in the frame, it's going to be so bright and overwhelms the meter that it fools the camera into thinking the scene is brighter than it is

Dial in +2 exposure compensation or meter from a lit patch of cloud, recompose and shoot. :thumbsup:

It's normal.. It's just the meter trying very hard to make the sun look 18% grey. ;p

Are you talking about those plastic ones that we stick on handphone screens or something like this?

What is wrong with D40 that you need to pressure people to get a D80?
D40 and D80 metering is identical. It's just prob you didn't shoot the same scene as your friend hence not experiencing the same "problems".

As for "try that hard"... the word try is just an anology... the D40 doesn't have to waste more battery or whatever to get the "correct" exposure as compared to D80 etc
