    Is this the Ultimate Budget Travel Tripod combo?

    To YinSheng Total paid $290 plus $80 = $370. Saw someone trying to sell the ballhead for $100 last week in the classified section. Seems like it is a good deal, if I don't like it maybe can sell for $90. Help to cover all transportation charges :bsmilie:

    buy new dslr

    I agree with daredevil123 that TS should consider buying the Leica M9. It certainly looks good as a piece of accessories round your neck, and people will know that you got money and style. Some may also think you know your stuff:bsmilie: Anyway the M9 is highly recommended for TS, as it is...

    Is this the Ultimate Budget Travel Tripod combo?

    To: Canonized Thanks for the review and recommendation. I bought the package from TK, together with the ball head for an extra $80. Compared it with the Markins, the plate itself is about $80, and together with the head more than $400. If buy separately, the head will cost $100. For...

    Any shops here carry the D90 with 18-200mm VR II package?

    Two months plus ago when I was shopping around for my D90, I remembered that Max Photo was able to quote a package with the 18-200mm VRII. Call them and check, the price should have come down.

    Which lens to get..?

    Just list out your requirements, and go for the one that satisfy most of those requirements. That simple. Got my 70-200 F2.8 VRII, as I may shoot under low light and indoor. Need the VR as I plan not to use the tripod. Happy choosing and searching, that also part of the enjoyment for...

    Try lenses before buying?

    I feel that we should only try the lenses only if you have the intention to buy. Then it is up to you to select the shop that offers you the best service and price. I personally visited some of the these shops to try a few times before buying for them. No problem at John 316, Max photo...

    Also using a D90 for about 2 months. Just bought the Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VRII last saturday from Max. Salesperson said no need for me to compare with the other two, just take the Nikon one. Shop was also relatively busy with customers coming in. By the way, which filter will you guys...

    Nikon AF-S 16-85mm VR

    Thanks to all your useful comments, I made the purchase last night at John316. Samuel who attended to me, let me tried on the Tamron SP AF 17-50 mm F2.8 VC and the Nikkor 18-200 mm, as the Nikkor 16-85 mm was sold off the previous night after I had tried it. The 17-50 mm F2.8 gives very...

    Nikon AF-S 16-85mm VR

    Samuel from John 316 did recommend the 17-55 f2.8 as an upgrade next time (if my interest stays) as it cost above 2k, which is more than 2 times the price of the 16-85 VR. I also thought the 16-85 VR is more versatile and the price is within my budget. Actually, Samuel recommended to start...

    Nikon AF-S 16-85mm VR

    Hi Thinking of getting the D90 body together with this lens instead of the kit len 18-105 vr. Any comments. Skipping the AF-S18-200mm VR II as I will hardly use the zooming, and more likely to take indoor shots. By the way I am new to DSLR. Thanks very much for your comments.
