Finalizing on hooting K-x

[Moonlightsg]

DAL lens is only sell together with body... at a lower price...
i heard ppl say that the Lens are the same with DA version

but DAL lens:
the mount is not metal.(metal sound more lasting but heavier)
did not have the quick shift (quick shift is allow you to turn the focus ring while you are in auto-focus mode)
did not come with lens hood(have to buy youself if you need)

ops... too slow...

anyway welcome, evolutioner!
i think it is better to ask question here as ppl are willing to answer with much more detail....
you know what i mean...
faster hoot and don't NPNT ok??
haha joking....

 

[evolutioner]

thanks..
so does that mean the single lens kit and double lens kit come with different revisions?(namely L and non-L)

No , all kit lenses are L .


The non L versions are consumer lens , means when you buy them standalone w/o the kit. Thats why they usually cost more then when you buy the kit's

 

[evolutioner]

ah.. thanks for the clarification..

by the way, will it cost more if i were to get a white/red kx with either a 50-200 or a 55-300
rather then getting the twin kit lens which from what i know only applies to black.

Yes definetly cost more , AFAIK it cost $200++ more

Getting a 18-55+50-200 standalone already cost more the the 18-55+55-300 kit:sweat:

 

[evolutioner]

that means i'll be forced to get black?
i thought some1 here managed to get a navyblue twin lens kit?

The brand called MAHA . . . + imedions or eneloop batteries make good companions

Very difficult to recommened....but the few brand like Benro, Slik Pro ,Francier are pretty decent. Alu one range 60plus to 200plus...Carbon one 300 plus and up...depend wat yr needs.like weight of tripod ..height etc...

Set to centre. Compose with subjects in the centre. If need to set other points set as auto. Press shutter halfway at source and recompose and shoot... something like that . . .
