Sir is this advice still applicable if my unit is a D90? I mean its better to buy a good lens than a new body? If so, what lens would your recommend. I only have the kit lens 18 - 105mm.

 

I'll only be using the camera as a hobby, stick with the dx formats. It'll be a waste upgrading to the full frame cameras if it will be used for personal use only. Stick with a dx camera and buy better lenses which can serve as a good investment.

yes. the d90 has a built in focus motor which is really handy as you can use the screw drive type lenses.

the newer d5100 for example does not, which means the older "D" lenses cannot autofocus.

 

i'm still quite new to photography and i quickly realized that the latest and greatest camera body does not make me a better photographer.

 

depending on the majority of shots you do, you can decide from there which lenses will suit you the most.

most importantly, what is your budget? if it's quite limited, then i'd look for the second hand lenses that are in good condition and save yourself a few bucks.

tamron and sigma have released some rare gems that are a fraction of the price of the Nikkor.

 

for example, I couldn't afford a Nikon 17-35mm so I use the Tamron 17-35mm which is brilliant and more than enough for my needs. the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II is around $2500, instead I use the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 OS HSM which I bought for less than half the price of the Nikon counterpart. The Nikon 24-70mm is over $1500, the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 which I have is about a third of the price. I also have the Nikon 50mm f/1.8D & 85mm f/1.8D - for macro, i have the Tamron 60mm f/2.

 

hope that helps.

Pagdating sa composition ng shots, nothing will change kung magpapalit ka lang ng gear. Pero if we are talking about same settings ( all things equal like camera settings, lighting, naka tripod, etc), malaki ang difference pag upgraded ang gears. Im saying this dahil na experience ko yung magsimula sa rebel xti with kit lens (18-55 f4 w/o IS) then moving to tamrom (17-50 f2.8 w/o IS or whatever tamron call it). mas clear ang pic, mas vibrant ang colors. Then moving to a new body 5d mark II w/ kit lens, na try ko i compare (i wish na saved ko yung shots)with my old one. it's like night and day.

any landscape photographers here?

 

i wouldn't call myself a landscape photographer but i consider it a "hobby within a hobby" =)

 

landscape photography takes a little more dedication I think.

 

Here some of my landscape shots I've posted on 500px
