Carolyn: hahahaha i see. awesome! which lens are u using now? well it really depends on what u need for the new len, if you are gonna use it for yr blog shop, i say go for the 85mm f1.8 (600+), if it’s for food then 60mm is obviously the best (but most expensive) option. the 85mm is definitely out for taking food. And if you have no budget for now, just get the 50mm f1.8, it’s not for taking food, but for the price and everything else, it’s a steal at $190 : )

Hi.. those are my models
I’m the one who’s taking the pics! I love taking pics and i’m also a food lover just like u! Hee..
Yeah.. 50mm f1.8 is cheaper. But it can’t take pics like those of a micro lens like 60mm f2.8. Argh. hard to decide!

Nah no worries carolyn, lots of people mistaken me for a lady too. lol! otherwise just get the 50mm f1.8, its only 190 bucks, can’t go wrong with it! : )

i saw your blogshop photos, u model for all of yr clothes? den who take the photos for u? hee

hey brad. Oops.. mistaken you as a lady!

Carolyn: HAHAHAHAH even though my blog is ladyironchef, but I’m not a lady! : D my name is brad. don’t worry yeah, most people thought that I’m a lady from the nick too. haha!

yeah it’s about 950-960 for the macro lens, the 85mm is not micro, it’s a prime lens for taking portrait shots. 3rd party stuff are ok and cheaper, but personally i prefer getting the original nikon ones : )

hey babe,
Yeah.. for my blogshop.. but i like to take food stuffs as a hobby as well! hehe..
Oh, no wonder, cos i asked around and it cost $960 for f2.8 60mm.
Oh, din know there’s a 85mm f1.8.. but it’s not a micro lens? Would u consider a Tamron lens?
Am considering that as well cos it’s cheaper!
heh..thanks

Hey carolyn: hahahahha i got it last year in Nov, 745 was the price back then. Now i believe the very same lens cost $950 because of the rise in Yen!

But what do u mostly shoot with yr D90? for yr blog shop? for portrait shots, maybe u can consider the 85mm f1.8, it’s about 600+! hehe : )

hi, was wondering.. where did you get the 60mm micro lens for just $745?
I’m considering that too!

congratulations on reaching post #300. We just hit 300 recently as well, though it took us longer to get there (wasn't serious about food blogging until 6 months ago). I think you have a great site. Nates last blog post..Homemade Li Hing Margarita

Neh, it is just that I eat alot so easier to compare but talking about ingredients and background knowledge I am just an amature. Wait till you hear Vicki, Sihan and Evan communicating in dessert language. I can never understand the bulk of it

fen: i think its just a few people everyday coming to LIC and refresh the page a lot of times. haha. no la, this type of thing where got inferior one. if really want to say inferior, den i will feel inferior when we eating desserts, my knowledge and experience of the desserts and ingredients not as wide as you all : )

wentong: yeah i got it two three weeks ago but didn’t post it yet. haha. good to have another new lens, like you say, lens can never be enough just like shoes (for ladies that is) haha. yeah saw yr photos, the 50mm is coming very well, excellent buy.
