sorry.. i dont want to be rude but for you would be an idiot to pass a d200 for only 850 SGD.....!!!! lets just say i planned to buy a d50 with lens kit just for trying out a nikon for the first time. so i guess i still got some spare money to buy good gear.. the 300 SGD is just a platform to know how good and cheap nikon lens can be considering nikon has sigma, tokina and tamron for 3rd party lens. but with the 50mm i still can buy presents for my family this x'mas...
but really after i read through the internet.. 50mm is a lens to keep.
some of the 3rd party lens are great pieces of glass with exceptional value so do consider them as well..
D200 for 850 SGD!?!? :sweat: make sure u did check it properly though.. not cursing or dissing u but sometimes when things seem too good to be true.. they probably are..
but great buy n hope u have fun with it!
actually it's my friend's friend whos selling.... :sweat: just hope he didn't made a mistake on giving the price hehehee
oh... haha... since not ur direct friend i suppose no harm's done eh? so u havent gotten ur hands on the cam? better inspect it carefully just in case alright? :cheers:
looking forward to ur contribution of photos in the not-so-distant future!

but with the 18-70mm some say the distortion is quite troublesome... i also seen it in some lens review site. and in the end you will finally upgrade to another better and expensive lens but with 50mm u got nothing to loose.
Yes, indeed the 18-70 does produce distorted images at wide focal lengths..but i must say it is a piece of full rounder lens..the 50mmf/1.8 is the most budget and quality lens produce by Nikon..but most of us who buy it usually have a common zoom lens to start with..
Just ask around, who would dare say he/she bought a DSLR/SLR body and buying the 50mm as his/her one and only first lens..
All in all the decision to purchase which lens is still with you..
Hope u put in some thoughts and won't feel getting stranded with the 50mm..Merry X'mas!

Just read this!..better delete this thread man..later ur fren's fren see this thread, and he dun want to sell u at $850..:bsmilie: :bsmilie:nope haven't.... still waiting in anticipation hahahahhaa... all i can do right now is finding the perfect match of lens to with my soon to be d200, if nothing happens along the way heheehehe..
i see.. on the other hand... if u have a credit card.. consider buying the Nikkor 12-24mm/F4 on credit... :devil: haha BBB!!:bsmilie:

r u sure it is D200? maybe D70 or D70s ... then $850 is reasonable ...
.... do we need so wide angle? i think 18-200 more versatile for different purposes ...
Upssss....!!!! Me and my big mouth...!!!!:sweat:
lucky me he's not in singapore...
but still....:sweat:i havent used it before but from comments posted by those who have, it is a good piece of glass... well.. if TS really wants to go all out with landscapes and architectural n can spare the moolah... the 12-24 is good!
on the other hand, the 18-200 VR is a relatively more economical lens for a start, and with a great range too.. very fine optics as well.. :thumbsup: only gripe i have about it is its aperture range of 3.5 at its widest n 5.6 at its tele ends... so might face some problems in certain situations.. but for landscape n architectural with tripod.. shouldnt be a problem..

Nikkor 12-24 is very expensive..can try the Tokina 12-24..sharpness wise won't lose too much to the Nikkor one..
hmm.. but for taking other then architecture is still ok right..??
but it's considered quite economical alr.. n it's a gd piece of glass u won't regret buying.. BBB now! :devil:
use credit card lor... lol :bsmilie:
i see most ppl using the 50mm 1.8 for portraitures.. :thumbsup:
yup i see one from awebsite showing a portrait of a girl quite nice the bokeh blends nicely..
and for taking candid also with the d200 came out pretty nice pic.. well i guess its the photog not the equipment wise.- Status
