the link not working la...

use your brain to edit it lah..

just remove some of the irrelevant http.com/// etc

damnit tak nampak pun code salah. soli soli.

yang betul.

While using the 450D, will it cost any damage to any specific kind of lenses (those motorized or non-motorized type)? I've heard this issue happening on the Alpha I think but does it happen to Canons too?

Ok, so the 18-55 is also 4 stop IS too. When you mention kit-lens here, do you mean 18-55 or 55-200 or both?
How much do you intend to sell yours?
Yes it is quite hard to find but ianho posted the link before. I am not used to buying second hand staff, something I pantang and especially more so at expensive prices. It's not like RM100 kind of thing, it's RM2k. Skeptical.

Yea, I think I'm doing too much analyzing. I wanted to buy the camera this weekend but I'm being held back! Argghhh!! I think I will probably go for package 2 as it's cheapest and after RM4200 for all that, I may want a decent bag, tripod, battery grip, extra battery and larger capacity storage media. I think everything will sum up to be ~6k already.

Either package 1 or 2 so that when accumulated with all other accessories, it still havent break my budget. If get package 3, I think 8k also not enough.

Question:
Between package 1 (cover 18-200mm) and package 2 (covers 18-55 and then 55-250), they both cover the same length right? Which means if I get package 2, I dont need to get Sigma 18-200 OS anymore unless I want it specifically for travelling. Yes?


I will go Pertama complex round round maybe next weekend.



Petre,
Yes, I've seen it too. I've heard that the Tamron 17-50 has a few variants. Some people get very sharp lens while others get soft lens. This happens due to their poor QC. Does the same thing happen with the Sigma 18-200 OS? Should I bring someone more experienced with me to test out the lens during the purchase?

So far, I have not seen/heard any issue of such.


Usually when someone refers to kit-lens, they're usually (95% of the time) talking about the C18-55mm.


However, if you do come across a very good buy, you can save alot by buying second hand. But it's up to the person if he wants to take the risk of buying a second hand product or not.


Yep. That's pretty much it. With Package 2 you will have to change over to the C55-250 if you need >55mm of focal range. However, it gives you a 1-stop larger aperture.


If I'm not mistaken you're referring to the Japan and China (was it China? ) made T17-50's?

It would be better if you had someone more experienced then you along when purchasing a lens.

well i'm also noobie here, if you can ask some pro to go together of course is good la

buy 450d and tamron 17-50..worth it coz the aperture is 2.8 while the siggy just 4-5.6 i tink..the advantage is u can zoom in..

if u have extra buy la tammy and siggy.

just my opinion..

Sigma 18-200 OS is a f/3.5-6.3.

guys. need info on these:

1
does the 430ex can turn sideways other than the standard up-down?

2
nissin622 if want wireless need to trigger with a trigger attached to the hotshoe on the camera right? what about if use 430ex wirelessly? also the same?

thanks!

1. Yes.
2. Yes and yes too. Unless you have a 580EXII which can act as a master unit.

many thanks for the info. how much is a 430ex now? is 430ex close to the nissin? if so no need the xtra $ for the nissin right? aiyah, is there a speedlite thread? i know this might not be the good place to disturb

I though Nissin Di622 doesn't need a wireless trigger to trigger it? All you have to do is just to pop up the built-in flash?

430EX can turn right maximum 90 degrees and turn left maximum 180 degrees.

IIANM a 430EX would be around RM900+/- now () whereas the Nissin would be around half that at around RM500+/-.

The Nissin claims to be on par with the 430EX but other than the fact that the Nissin has no rear LCD panel, recharges a lil slower and does not sport ETTL, I'm not really sure what the differences are.
