Got mine 17mm 2.8 for RM750 today. It is extremely look like new, and the owner "upgraded" to Pana 20mm 1.7 already. So, he's junk, is my precious now

Sharing the 1st test shot during COD at Burger King Petronas Gombak:



Love the bokeh, lemak berkrim disukai saya

I am referring to the bokeh bro, creamier by a lot compared to my kit lens And "lemak berkrim" was a quotation from Susu Cap Teko adverstisement, I guess 10 years back

Just wanna share several shots from the 17mm 2.8





A cheapo 37mm CPL filter was used. But I guess, I would be better if with out those filter.

HDR I am not that sure...but it generally refers to unusual colours involved in a picture. Doesn't look natural, but if properly done, the result would be outstanding.

I guess so faidz85...but by that time I dare not to take out the filter, as I am afraid the sea wind might damage my lens

Hmm, now waiting eagerly for the Nissin

Thanks for looking in advance ya

Funding my film camera la bro

Normally, most of my photographer friend referring the flash is the saviour in a lowlight condition, provided the flash can bounce. My guess is that, for F1.7, you don't need those flash since it is big enough to compensate the lowlight-ness. Do correct me if I am wrong ya

I would say yes...but definitely it's no match to Pana 20mm 1.7 hands down The trade off to the 17mm is that, I'll push my ISO to 1600, and set to max apperture...and there you go But...if it still blurry, then that's the max of it already..that's where the flash comes handy Actually with flash, the kitlens will do wonder as well. I am nowhere a hustler, but this picture of my kids may give you some ideas:



Those were taken with nikon 18-55 kitlens, with el-cheapo YongNuo YN460 fully manual flash.

As gogo2 and bobds78, I would say the same too..go for it! the 17mm 2.8 lens is real good too...yesterday's night during out TT at Subang, my freind show us how much he can get from the 17mm...the result makes me think many times whether or not to sell my 17mm... N

Hmm, I think custom made would be better..with name carving some more..that would be great
