    Cheapest Nikon D300 Deal in Hong Kong ???

    Don't let the dealers / service centers miss lead you: 1) all DSLR bodies come with local (the place where it is bought) warranty only. - if you want warranty in SG, then only buy bodies in SG thru Nikon SG authorized dealer; and don't buy "grey" sets as they are "parallel imported"! - if you...

    16-85VR.. here's why (and vs 18-200VR!)

    Huh?! self psycho? This is simply a "preference" dude! Read carefully, I said "more useful", not "important". It's a relative term! Beat me!

    16-85VR.. here's why (and vs 18-200VR!)

    I have the exact set up as yours... just waiting for my next trip to HK to pick up the SB-400 ;p I'm very happy with this zoom combo, will be working on (for) the fast Primes next ;p

    16-85VR.. here's why (and vs 18-200VR!)

    There are so much talk / doubt / question about the 16-85VR... with most people wondering why some people (like me) would buy this lens at this price. For me, the quick answer is: - 16-85VR - better optically in almost every aspect, updated VR, extra 2mm at wide is more useful than 86-200...

    18-135mm kit lens or 18-200mm D80

    Yep... two weeks after I go the D80+18-135 set, I got the 50mm 1.8 as well and been using that for like 90% of the time! And sounds like we share the same shopping list... if that's the case, you need to stand by for the D300 :-p

    18-135mm kit lens or 18-200mm D80

    OOps... I stand corrected! And that kinda shows how much I still like the 18-135 lens ;-) It should be 16-85VR and 70-300VR is the best combo for zoom :-p

    18-135mm kit lens or 18-200mm D80

    D80 +18-135 1) 18-135 is a very good lens for such a low price 2) both 18-135 and 18-200 are good for "walk around" / traveling - how often do you travel? 3) save S$1,000 - you can buy lens for other purpose or flashlight! 4) I started with D80 +18-135, then use 50mm (S$160!) for 80% of the...

    Nikon 16-85 VR pictures

    Thanks for sharing. These test photos look better than those from other sites. Other than the sharpness, how's it's performance in controlling distortion, vignette / fallout? Thanks again.

    I think you meant Page 414?! And make sure the correct setting is selected, under Custom Setting-d10 and d11.
