after spending $$$$ on a 2nd hand d30,.....:embrass:
wow...how much u paid for your D30?
are u stephan from HWZ too? who upgrade from 6900Z to G2 to Sony 707 and now D30?
many pple advise me to save up for a good lens for D30...else it will be a waste of DSLR, if i were using film SLR, i know that i won't enlarge more than 8R, so consumer lens will be good enough for me, but if I shoot in digital, when i need to crop out certain part and zoom in, that's where the quality of the lens makes a big different
my plan is get a decent super wide angle Prime lens to compensate the 1.6x multipler, i cannot shoot much scenry with a 50mm/f1.8
me too, wallet quite empty, that's why i choose Prime lens for super wide angle as i can always crop away the parts that i dun want, also, these prime lens have relatively large aperture (f2.8 or f1.8) and they are quite cheap ($300-$500) for a brand new Sigma Super wide prime lens.
next, i will save save save for a super zoom, eg. 70-200/f2.8, this one have a fixed max aperture of f2.8 from 70mm all the way till 200mm, whereas for 28-135mm f/4-5.6, it is f4 at 28mm and while u zooming, it will increase to 5.6 at 135mm.... IMO, it is too slow for low light which i shoot most.
btw, i am quite new to SLR also and above are just my personal opinion....I just wish to share what i have learnt here, so dun flame me if i said something wrong or misleading & correct me if i am wrong ok
