My arsenal of lenses..

Haha..the word "arsenal" is just for fun. I don't even know whether I used it correctly here. Anyway, I only have three lenses la.. so dun be shocked!

Nikkor 18-200mm VR

This lens is the famed 11x zoom from Nikon. The most popular all in one lens for travellers cause it eliminates the need to change lenses in your trips. It could be hazardous to your camera if u change lenses in a humid or windy area.

Disadvantage-However popular it might be.. it suffers from some defects. One of it-Distortions.At the wide end, there'll be more than normal barrel distortions.. making ppl look fatter when u shoot them.. ahha.. just a lil fatter onli la..

Advantage-The Vibration Reduction(VR) technology. It'll balance out the vibrations when you take pictures if you have shaky hands. And the viewfinder would be clearer too.

This is a third party lens-Tamron. Meaning not originally from Nikon. But among all the lenses from Tamron, it's one of the sharpest around. It's really sharp! razor sharp!

Tamron SP 90mm Macro 1:1

This lens specializes in taking close up photos. You can take anything from flies to small insects. Still new to this lens. And it's quite difficult to handle. Its barrel would extend when u shoot something very small n close. It'll extend to twice its size.. ahha..

Advantage- Its price. The original Nikon one is twice the price of it but it's of course better and coupled with the VR technology, it's a great but unaffordable (to me) lens.

Disadvantage- Like i said, the barrel extends twice its size. And when focussing, it makes a lot of noise. I think the fly would fly away after hearing the "ZZZZZ" noise from the focussing.

This cute little lens is among the cheapest lens you can get. But don't underestimate its quality cause of its size. It takes very sharp photos too!

Nikkor 50mm 1.8D

This is a potrait lens. It takes good potrait. Even at low light due to its wide aperture (more light can enter n reach the sensor) as compared to other lenses. There are even wider aperture lenses, but way more expensive than this lens. N it'll create a very nice blur background when taking potraits due to the narrow field of vision by the wide aperture.

Advantage- It's possible to take pictures at low lights. It's cheap! It's a must to buy cause it's darn cheap for a lens.

Disadvantage- Loud focussing noise. Other than that, no other complains. =) Haha, there's this one lens.. which i always wanna get. Currently still out of reach and logically not very practical to buy. It's really really expensive and it's more of a put into the dry box kinda lens because it's large and heavy. Nikkor 80-200mm or 70-200mm. I dun think I'll see the two of you anytime soon...take care...
