try mo muna sir yung mga lens na abot sa 300,
at imax mo sa 300mm kumuha ka ng mga shots maraming shots,
at pag isipan kung magagamit mo ba yung lens hanggang 300,
opinion ko lang para sakin di na gano usable yung ganung amount ng length,
pwera na lang kung wildlife photographer or kung ano man,
opinion ko lang yun,

[oldskul]

sir gusto ku kasi magfocus for zooming an image na may pag ka bokeh

kung ikaw anu masusuggest mung lens na for zoom?


 

[ddefy]

bokeh? 70-200mm 2.8 or 200mm f2
kun kya ng budget, go 70-300mm vr

[oldskul]

ih sir kung 55-200mm VR?
70-200mm 2.8 or 200mm f2 ?

anu mas maganda pang zoom?

anu mas maganda pang zoom?


 

200mm f2 is not a zoom lens. It is a prime lens. The 200mm is an excellent portrait lens and sports lens since it is fast at f2. You get nice bokeh but if you need versatility, go for the 70-200mm f2.8.

AF Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4-5.6G ?

ok's ba siya for d3000?


 

[ddefy]

@oldskul
70-300mm f/4-5.6G will not autofocus sa d3000 mas ok ang 55-200mm afs VR ok ang quality nya and will autofocus sa d3000
 

[oldskul]

sir ih di mas ok's na 55-200mm na lang ang kunin ku pang zoom?


 

[ddefy]

yep ok ang 55-200mm afs VR, pero kung gusto mo mas malayong reach meron 55-300mm afs VR, add ka ng mga P3k plus   for me ok na ang 55-200mm

[toinkking]

ako nga yung 70-300mm G lens ko di ko nagagamit hehe mostly ang nagagamit ko lng eh ung mid range ko always hehehe pero ung 55-200mm VR good lens sya nakagamit na din kase ako worth of a penny ung lens na yun

I've been focusing on wedding and portraits recently. I want to ask you guys which is better for this type of photography?

I've been advised to stay away from 3rd party lenses but I've read & watched some good reviews of the Sigma.

Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 HSM APO DG MACRO II or the AF Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8 ED

I can't afford the 70-200 VR II and I don't mind if there's no OS or VR.

yan din pinagpipilian ako. as with the reviews, ok yung sigma hsm II, mabilis AF and mas mura. compared sa nikkor 80-200 na mas sharp, ganda ng colors and mas ok ang bokeh. kung simple weddings and portraits ok na ung nikkor, pero kung sports mas recommended ang sigma dahil mabilis ang AF. ang mahal kasi ng 70-200 VRII at hirap ng humanap ng VR1 kahit secondhand.

Talaga? Mabagal ba ang AF ng 80-200?

[raginghormones]

Talaga? Mabagal ba ang AF ng 80-200?

hindi naman sir mabagal, mas mabilis lang ang af ng hsm II compared sa lumang nikkor. 

[kurtcobainer]

Diba may bagong labas nitong 80-200mm?

Yup, kaya lang I've read some BAD reviews on this lens. And sabi ni Ken Rockwell, hindi sya advisable for DX bodies.

Unfortunately, discontinued na pala yung Sigma 70-200mm HSM II, pero may nakikita pakong mga stock sa ibang stores sa mga malls. And sabi ni Jared Polin ok sya for DX lens. Saw a review he made on YT on this lens where he used this lens on a D3000 (which was pretty convincing). I think eto nalang kukunin ko.

ang meron atang bad reviews sir e yung lumang push pull 80-200. pero ung bago ok siya.

yup ung kay jared polin nga yung napanuod ko hehe kahit sa d3000 ok ung mga kuha nung sigma, kahit low light ganda pa din sayang discontinued na pala tong sigma..interested din akong gamitin kasi mura sana and mabilis af.

Discontinued na sya, pero sa Pixel Pro nagbebenta pa sila. Below 40k yung price range nya. Yung 80-200 naman ang pinaka cheapest na nakita ko sa DBGadgets nasa 43k+ yung price nya. Sa Kimstore naman 44k+.

[raginghormones]

mura nung 80-200 jan, dito papatak ng 50k pesos e (4.5k dirhams) brandnew. kahit gusto kong magamit ung sigma, ill take nikkor pa din hehe iba pa din yung optics niya

pero bago yung mga telephotos, ang kukunin ko muna e yung nikkor 17-55

I was also thinking of getting that, pero na-uwi ako sa Nikkor 24-70mm, hehehe.

The only reason why I'm leaning towards the Sigma is that it's more advisable to use on a DX body. Mashado nang cropped yung 80mm para sakin @ 120mm. Whereas sa 70mm nasa 105mm lang sya. Plus consistent sya sa 24-70 ko, hehehe. But shempre, ang gusto ko sana ALL NIKON ang lens ko, kaya lang SOOOOBRANG mahal naman nung 70-200 nila Maybe, I still have to do more research on the 80-200, hehehehe.

i shoot more landscapes kasi kaya im leaning towards the 17-55 over the 24-70 lalo pat DX body palang gamit ko..pero lets see iba pa din ang my nano crystal coat hehe

un na nga sir, maganda talaga all nikon lens line up you can try the 80-200 naman, then kung di mo magustuhan you can always sell it then kuha ka ng sigma, or try the other way around, sigma muna then pag ayaw nikkor na. mahal kasi talaga nung 70-200 ng nikkor e, kahit VR 1 mahal pa din..  

[kurtcobainer]

Finally decided to get the Nikkor 80-200. After much cotemplating, pestering my friends and reading reviews I decided to get the Nikkor than the Sigma. It'll be arriving on Monday. Sakto for my wedding shoot on Tuesday.
