i don't think that's alot of lenses. but those are the lenses that i use all the time!

i would think that the 105DC would be a beta buy than the 135DC. personal opinion based on my own preference and shooting style. the working range in 1.5X Nikon DSLR.... is the main factor.

that's the thing.1.5 crop.105 will be about 160mm.
will it be too far for portraiture bo?quick advise b4 i go down and buy in the heat of moment.!

of cos no. i use it all the time for full body shoot!

but of cos depends on space available.

i think u might not use this lens that often for u to justify the purchase. a 70-200VR might be the wiser choice. and sell ur 80-200 for S$1k too.

 

[jeanie]

guess what cheese?i was quoted 1440.export model.no local warranty.

lidat can buy or cannot buy?

it really depends on ur personal working range..for me i wun prefer the 28-70 over the 17-35..cos' i prefer to keep a safe working distance with my subjects..

of cos cannot la!

S$1.4k for grey set! :nono:

madness.

i think u can get it brand new for around S$1.5k from CP, that is if they get the stock in.

Good and nice for face shots... But I dun think you'll be taking full length shots with it.... unless of course, you want to stand 10 - 15m away...

Meaning you wanna be closer? Or further? :dunno:

actually depends on the end user, hor?

got some fashion fotographer shoots with 600mm.
it all depends. on the end user and the end result they are after.

tas wat i do all the time.

u will be delighted with the bokeh...


sometimes u jus need longer lens to shoot certain ppl... if u get wat i mean.

:nono: of cos important.

the main thing is u'll look like a carrothead to them and that doesn't make u look good. they'll laugh at ur expense.


u can try to advert for this lens in the B/S section. comes to around S$1.1k used. i almost sold mine long ago but the potential buyer decided not to becos there's a speck of dust in the element. :bsmilie:

anyway, i start to use it more often and more and more and more and more and more.... :bsmilie:
