i would like to ask for some opinion.
is best to get a Metz 15 macro flash or sell my current C 100mm Macro then get C 100mm L Macro.

50mm f1.8 IQ is so bad and RM 50 filter can degrade it even further huh?

then explain how come stock photo companies can accept the images that I submitted?

if IQ so bad sure kena reject straight already. FYI they view more GOOD photos than all of us combined, and they pixel peep too!

so what are you guys so worried about 50mm f1.8 II's image quality and cheap filter quality.

so far my rejected photos - NONE are due to lens quality.

i think that's enough to tell you how BAD is the IQ for 50mm f1.8 II + cheap filter......... so cheap until i don't remember the brand.

so shutterbugs, why so kiam siap? Fire at will!

100k for 1000D
i only used 43k lidat

550D should be same like the rest.

actually even without the numbers - who cares la? just snap away only.

not easy to reach those figures if you're doing like only 250 photos per week.

my 7D last december bought just reached 6k only nia.. xD still got long way to go for 150k

My 450D bought last December, now just touched 30k! 70k more to go!

Yea, hate those buyers who keep bugging me for shutter count whenever I sell my used bodies. I've owned few hundreds of Canon EOS bodies and none of them failed me due to shutter count problem.

On the other hand, those who buy used lenses will keep asking for the stupid lame lens code.

Just bought a Canon 1000d

Need guidance on usage of it.

i have look through http://web.canon.jp/imaging/enjoydslr/part1/1Bd.html

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/311850

go there and don't ask anymore.

and spend some time with Google.

if 550D give you such a bad reputation, i recommend you to buy 7D as yo first camera, no complain heard for this model.


NO need filter, use it get scratched, sell it 2nd hand & buy a new replacement
