kevyan said:Hi to all D50 users.... well, all Nikon user lah....
How many of you will buy a AF-S DX 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G to replace AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED ?
If yes, why?
If No, why?
Other comments?

Because these people bought D70S with this kit lense and BBB better lenses like 15-55mm F2.8, 28-75mm F2.8, especially at the released of 18-200VR, I saw a rush of selling the 18-70mm.nightwolf75 said:*couldn't resist...*

nightwolf75 said:sigh... dats not my point of my musing...
so, if someone comes out with the 10-300mm/f1.0 VR IS ED IF, will we see another round of mass selling of the 18-200 VR?
the point of my musing (and to repeat wat a wise CSer once posted many moons ago) - most, if not all lenses, have capabilities exceeding dat of the user. to put it even plainer, will changing the kit lens of the d50 to the kit lens of d70/70s make one a better photographer? think abt this, and mebbe it will put a pause to all madness/rush of upgrading lenses and BBB...
*just the musing of a very cranky old man...*

To a certain extend better lens takes better pix (less the subject composition). We talk about hardware, we measure them with their output. I dunno why this kinda of thread tend attracts high sounding comments like its the photographer that counts etc and deemed as wise comment. I salute lor. A lens is less sharp, its less sharp. You can't make the lens takes sharper pix with any skill you have without post processing.
I hate to concur with espn but if it makes you happy, just buy lor.
Cool down... smelling smoke...nightwolf75 said:hey, to each his/her/its own. whichever gets one's mojo going, so be it.
just to clarify (for clarification's sake) - never did i say in any way the lens (and hence, equipment) supercedes the photographer (or cameraman, whichever way one likes to see himself/herself/itself). nor, "its the man/women/it behind the camera dat matters". my point is dat not all people who calls themselves photographers know why (if ever) they wanna upgrade everytime a new lens or body comes along. does buying dat next lens or body promises one photographic nirvana?
again, to repeat myself b4 this degenrates into another senseless flamewar - to each his/her/its own, whichever dat gets ur mojo flowing.
me? i'm going off to play with my baby now... :lovegrin:
a 18-200 option will be better.kevyan said:;p eh.... I merely just wanted to find out why would anyone want to change their D50 kit lens and buy a 18-70mm....
Don't fight....don't fight.... :sweat:
