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..

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
