You sure have a very good offer. My was $1848 without the Lowepro bag but it is sufficient since I paid with credit card.

Cheers

Heard from another member that there is this problem with the 18-70mm lens. It is regardless you are at 18 or 70mm.

juz spoke to nikon people...they say that its a lens characteristic...lowering shutter speed will help.

No, no extra charges for CC used.

I believe it's light falloff and not vignetting. Step up to f/8 and shoot the same scene again and you'll see.

I have used the 18-70DX with a UV filter before and haven't encountered vignetting.

OK....will try it tonight. I was shooting at f4.5 at 70mm.

Not bad. Was looking at this at AP too ... but the sales person gave me crap and told me either I get $1988 (Show price) or just the kit for $1700. :thumbsd:
This is considering that I even check with them nicely as I have bought alot of stuff from them b4 ...
Told me that if I can't get it elsewhere then come back.
In the end I got it at another shop

I won't know but a lot of people were wowed by it, but all say think about it. AFAIK, I only talk to the people who were touching them when they talked to me first. Because some just want to try and touch the cam, so I let the interested ones talk to me.

Did managed to talk to a few photographers, had a hearty session talking about the same sentiments & thinkings we had for photography & Nikon, solved a lot of issues with selections on the D70 and how good it can go, well I heard Nikon took my portrait shots went to Canon there and did A3 prints but the color were off Sigh.

Oh well... you should buy.

I already bought yesterday ;p didn't really try lah... just pay and go. Just that no time to play with my set at home until next week.

Canon printers off colour? which model? You probably need to use better paper even if it is the high-end models. Personal feedback.

Why would shutter speed affect the light fall-off? I think the lens has been pushed to the limit at largest aperture and results in the light fall-off. There is always a trade off between quality and price. Nevertheless, I like the sharpness of this lens which I have just gotten together with D70+70-300mm (from CP) and did not regret buying them.

no idea. those words came from the guy manning the phone line in the morning. hehehe...the nikon people in this forum...should know who he is.

quite surprised that this lens has such a problem...as it is supposed to be a DX lens...so it should be designed with a image circle to fit the sensor.
