Hi Ryan, Thanks for your advice. I am very excited about the trip too and will make sure to try and fully enjoy myself..... Everyone, Thank u again and "see" u in about 2 weeks..... Rgds Ray

Hi Everyone, Thank you for all your advice. I guess i will be bringing my tripod along as i don't want to miss any opportunity that may come along if i happen to want to take any night shots. And i guess i don't need a 3rd battery too. I'll be leaving at the end of next week (4th April)...

Hi everyone, This is my first time going to Japan and i am also new with DSLRs, hence, I would appreciate some advice on my coming trip. 1) Should i bring my tripod along, and if i do, will it cause any problems when customs check my luggage? 2) I am using a Nikon D90, would 2...

Hi mybearbrick, Thank you for the update, at least thats a relief to hear. Infact i am very satisfied with the results of the pictures that i have taken with it so far at Changi Cove last weekend. I will post the pictures when i learn how to do so later on. Rgds Ray

Hi, I just both the lens and its a great, except when i am using live view on myD90 and extend the distance, the focusing mechanism doesn't seem to work, it will go off focus and stay off focus (seems to be stuck). the only way i could overcome this was to reduce the distance and try to...

Thanks, i guess u r rite, a lot of it depends on luck. I only looked at the thread from one perspective, i should not narrow my frame of mind. I suppose that puts the 18-270mm back into my shopping cart again.

My goodness.... After reading about this thread, i am having 2nd thoughts about buying Tamron lenses as i was contemplating the 18-270mm lens... Anyone with similar thoughts?

Hi, I dunno about the rest of you but i think its important to have a spare battery or some sort of portible charger on the go. If you are on the go and in the midst of photo taking, and the camera runs out of juice, then no matter what equiptment you have also can't be used. Just my...

Hi Jim, Thank you for the clarification. How much is the DCR-250 going for? Rgds Ray

Hi Jim, Would the (DCR 250) Macro Lens fit my Nikon D90, 105mm lens? How does this compare with the DCR 5320 pro? What is the difference? Which would you recommend? Does this mean that with this add on, it will no longer be necessary for me to purchase a separate macro lens. Also, can...

Hey fellas, I just bought mine about 3 weeks ago, and though i am very new at this but i love the camera. Been trying it out at Airport, Southern Ridges, SBG and around the home garden, and the results of the pictures tho not artistically taken nor unique in perspective, have turned out...

Hi Guys, I am new at photography and i just bought a Nikon D90. I am wondering which Macro lens you would recommend for taking flowers and insects. There are so many recommendations and choices, and i am lost at which would be best for a newbie. Thanks in advance for any advice given:)

Sorry, i stand corrected on the lens. I guess if it is still available at SITEX, i will go purchase it. Thanks for the advice.

Hi all, i am a newbie on DSLRs, and was planing to get the D90, however, i am a little confused here with everything said, perhaps you guys can advise me. Would the camera be better with the 18-55mm lens or the original 55-105mm lens? Also, with the 18-55mm, Nikon is allowing us to...
