Have you seen any other lens? You should really look at the nikon website - it gives listings of all of their lensesaboalreem:little confusion is the Nikon 60mmf/2.8 Micro is the same lense but some people call it 60mm Macro????!!!
Have you seen any other 60mm lens made by Nikon? There is only 1.aboalreem:I have seen the other lens...I just got confused when photographers call the same micro lens a macro!!!!I just wonder why?
perfect Bella,,,,thanks_Bella_:It's all in the history.
howarde:I'm not trying to not answer your questions either. But you should really learn about this camera on your own, probably by reading a little bit about SLR cameras, and lenses. You are asking very basic questions, and you're investing a few thousand dollars into a camera setup. I've been following this thread, and I saw your other one too. It's clear that you should really learn more on your own.
Here's a link to the user's manual from the D200 - http://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/manuals/noprint/D200_en_noprint.pdf
You should seriously read it. It explains a lot, and I think you'll find the answers to a lot of you questions here. Good luck.
aboalreem:Howarde,
thanks for the feedback that you have given....I am acutally reading the manual and got a couple SLR books while waiting for the camera. most of my questions were about lenses since I need to make sure I am getting the right ones that UW photographers recommended.....details......details......since I only have 4 days left to get everything ...that is why I am asking people on scubaboard....details.
it seems most of the responses were given by choice and joy of sharing,,,,which I do the same too......
sorry to bother you with my basic questions...
howarde:It's not a bother, but I would feel as though you're doing yourself a dis-service to not learn on your own, and just ask a bunch of people on ScubaBoard what you should do.
Everyone here (including myself) has been happy to help you.
It would just be a shame if you ran out and got all of this stuff, based solely on what other people are telling you to do. If you really understood the lenses and their capabilities, you'd be able to make some of these decisions on your own. That's all I'm saying.
BTW - For another good reference source for information on the D200 - with demonstrations, check out this http://www.quickproguides.com/ - I think you can get their videos at camera stores. My buddy who sells Nikons loaned me the DVD for the D200, and it was informative - and showed some finer points of the camera, like manual white balance, and how to do several pre-sets of your own manual WB. Also the exposure braketing modes, and lots of other cool stuff that the D200 has.
