sup /p/ I'm getting a D80 this week with the 18-55 VR and a f1/8/50mm from jessops.

should I bother getting a UV for both lenses, and would you reccommend the sandisk 4gb ultra SDHC for a flash drive choice?

D80 meters perfectly

Go to currys, they'll sell it to you cheaper than whatever jessops price is. & throw in more goodies for you to make sure they get the deal.

OP here, I just realised my friend got a job a jessops about a week ago maybe I'll ask him to through in a bag some filters for free.

Is it worth getting the battery grip as well?

OP: Skip the 50mm, get a 28 or 35mm. It'll be a much more versatile lens. If price is a factor, buy used or manual focus.

You don't need UV for most subjects, and pretty much any SD card will be fine. Sandisk is a good choice; if you get a certain level of card in their product line, they throw in a free rescue disk, so if the card does mess up (or if you accidentally delete something) fixing it is as simple as putting it and the disk into your computer.

1) Histograms are the best meters for shooting raw, because they allow precise overexposure for best tonal quality and dynamic range.
1a) Shooting JPEG is for chumps, so it doesn't surprise me if Ken Rockwell said something stupid about a meter.
2) If you really have to use a meter as your way of judging exposure, at least get yourself a proper handheld meter.
3) If you really have to use a camera meter, use either spot or CWA if you don't have time. The camera's "advanced" metering modes don't tell you what they're thinking, so you don't know when they're wrong. "Spot" and "center-weighted average" at least let you figure

TL;DR even if the D80 had the worst matrix metering algorithm (of course the meter itself works fine) it wouldn't matter.

holy shit does the disk restore even work after you've re-formated the card?
