My L-plate has finally arrived, together with some Wimberley plates, and some other stuff

yrh : How much you paid for shipping? I'm curious. I saw offer for Rechargable batts in Adorama.com (USD 7 for 8pcs) and shipping was USD40 man!!

SO, curious. some-more yours is UPS NExt Day as wel

What unearthly resolution u uploaded? Can't even finish loading the pics on my iPhone.

Paid USD41.20 for the shipment charge, for the following items:
1x Kirk L-plate for 1D Mark III
1x Kirk body plate for 5D Mark II with BG-E6 (vk's item)
1x Wimberley P20 lens plate (vk's item)
1x Cokin 77mm adapter ring
1x Cokin wide-angle P-filter holder

All light stuff, but B&H Photo pack them into a decent box with decent bubble-wraps. Total damage USD360 including shipping charge. Thanks to Singapore government, I was charged an additional 7% GST lol.

myjunk, it is best to combine multiple items and ship them in one go. Definitely not worth it to pay USD40 for 8 pieces of batteries! there was a delay for a week coz vk's 5d2 plate was on back-order... but then it only took 3 days from the moment B&H updated the shipping status from "ready to ship" to the UPS guy standing in front of my doorstep. I have to admit, their service is really good Next time I shall even consider getting lenses from B&H.

Hi there,

I've been searching high and low for the material for this DIY bounce card, what is this material called? And where did you bought it and how much did it cost you?

Thanks a lot!

think it's called foam sheet
got mine at bookshop in the previous limkokwing place
it's quite cheap. bout 2 or3 bucks for a big sheet. think A2 size

thanks for the info, i am looking for this too. And i want to get the velcro straps too. Popular got sell both of this?

its some foam material. most bookshops carry it.
i got mine from Czip Lee, Bangsar

Bought the following item two weeks ago.





This item few days ago.



and this accessories for above.

OMG!!!!! Tha portable dry box is for 300 or 400mm f2.8 kar?

the first question that pops up in my mind: why don't you just get a lens case?

Last week I got myself a crumpler strap.

Today, I got myself this.


So now my camera looks like this....


Sample pics (couldn't go out to shoot properly yet)

70-300 or 70-400 f2.8 cannot fit.

So far Sigma 18-200mm lens can fit in. No problem. Have not seen a portable dry box for 300 or 400mm f2.8 yet and I don't have 300 or 400mm f2.8 yet.




This case is Anti-Shake, Anti-Bump, Anti-Moisture, Anti-Dust and Water-Proof. Good for travelling.
Lens case is good but not Water-Proof or is it?

Ahhhhh it's actually so small. The 1st pic u din put anything there for a sense of scale n the case looked gigantic.

Sorry for my noobness... erm 24-70L is full frame lens or aps-c lens? if put on your 450D still need to crop?

L lenses are full frame lens i'm gonna miss my 24-70 badly

so if put on APS-C like 450d then the focal length need to multiply the crop factor (say, 1.5) = (24-70)x1.5 = 36-105?

exactly

Yes. It's based on 35mm film standard. Any number smaller than 35mm is considered wide. So a 28mm is wide, 24 is very wide n 17 is ultra wide. FF is same as 35mm film.

That's y the 24-70 is no longer Considered wide at 24mm on crop body coz 24x1.6=38.4mm equivalent.
