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:

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
