Hi Andrew, Appreciate the vote of confidence for the 18-200mm. Still...the cost is prohibitive for me at this juncture and think I should start learning all the basics with what I have for starters. Did get myself the 35mm prime though...oops! ;P

Err...sorry but can you teach me how to get to this "guide mode" you refer to?

Really!? Damn...I was there last night!! Haha.... Mind to share from which shop in particular? Then again...buying this makes the 18-55mm "redundant", maybe even the 55-200mm...

Thank you very much SkimMilk! Looking forward to it... Very much appreciate yours and other members' valuable comments and insights given thus far. Learnt from the shop that 18-105mm is actually a "kit-lens" which they don't sell. Of other available options, 2 most probable (close to the...

Thanks! Have lots to re-learn and learn...

Thanks Andrew! I sure hope so...

Hi Guys... Thank you very much once again for your advices and comments. It's done! Am now a new owner of a D5100 kit purchased in Singapore.

I see I see... Yes if I am not wrong, surely a prime lens suitable for portraiture or the likes will in general give better Bokeh. That earlier question came about as consequence of the idea of using the 55-200mm as a "holiday one-stop/solution-lens". I am thinking when "people" becomes the...

Yes you are right Andrew. A lens for a "general" holiday where subjects can be scenery, people, buildings, interesting objects, and the list goes on. Got your advice on a minimum starting of 15 to 18mm and will do me good to remember it.

Hi Daredevil123, Do allow me to first say thanks for taking time to respond to my request for advices and recommendations. I deviated from the original intent of my thread with a little "noise" on the issue of how warranty is managed by some companies. However, I beg to differ when you...

Appreciate your inputs and yes, seniors including yourself here do seem to recommend going for it if that option remains open at S$199 (purchase w/purchase). This is probably going to come across ('cos it maybe really is) to be a real kindergarten query. For this lens at 55mm limited to f/4...
