Posts Tagged ‘Lenses’

Hi again.. I am planning to pick up three lenses for my Nikon D80 DSLR.
I am looking for:
1) 50mm f / 1.8 Nikkor lens
2) 85mm f/ 1.4 Nikkor lens
3) 10-20mm sigma wide angle lens.
Can anyone state me the price there in Dubai? Cheap places, or place like stuff imported from singapore or USA. Or, can you point me to online shopping websites who really sells products…
I tried online, but failed.. I dont know if there is ebay there.
Help me.

I was listening to the Digital Photography Tips from the Top Floor podcast #121 (found at http://www.tipsfromthetopfloor.com/2006/… ) and host / photographer Chris Marquardt said he uses cigarette paper as a low-cost alternative for cleaning dust off his lens because it is soft and lint-free. However, on Lifehacker, I read a user response (found at http://lifehacker.com/software/how-to/ho… ) about cleaning LCD screens. He said: “I suggest you do NOT use a paper towel or even soft toilet paper. Paper products contain micro particles of wood and will cause tiny scratches that you may not see, but will be harmful.” Would cigarette paper have that same problem? What are some low-cost alternatives if it’s not safe to use?
