Greetings all,

I will be purchasing a Nikon D90 soon, but not going to bother with the kit lenses. I am looking to purchase a few lenses. In regards to what i need, it will be a little bit of everything, from portrait to cars, scenery, anything i can snap :(

I was looking at these 3 lenses:

Nikkor 50mm f1.8

Tamron 17-50mm f2.8

Nikkor 18-200mm VRII

Do you reckon this is all i will need. I am not looking to spend a ridiculous amount of money on them, as i am by no means a professional, but just want to cover whats needed.

Yeah thats what i was thinking of doing, although i found a site that does the D90 + the 18-200mm together, so not sure if i can go with that. I can afford these 3 lenses no problem, just wondering if they are alright for most situations.

I wouldn't skip the 50, the it's got the same zoom but it's a very different lens. you're forced to walk around more to frame pics. which i found really helpful for looking for something to shoot. Also the very nice depth of field and bokeh you can do gives you some more creative options.

The 50mm F1.8 is value for money, and for portraits (75mm equivalent on the D90) its perfect for portraits.

For general purpose lens, there are many options, 18-200 VRII or VRI, 18-105, 18-135.. It really depends on how much you want to spend.... You can always test out some of these zoom lenses with your D90 at the camera shop and see whats going to work for you..

Yeah, im new to DSLR's, so atm all im waiting to do is get a few lenses for general day to day use. I don't want to be in a situation where i require i certain lense and don't have it :blush:

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
