anyone going to super gt this weekend?

im going on fri sat and sun. just bought my ticket today together with pitlane...

yeap, YL will never sell mark 2 at 5k.

Any good place to intro where I can trade my 70200 with a 85L II? lol

awyong ur cosplayer shooting so good.

That was random..
But thanks for visiting lol.

I've been thinking, will 85L do much good on a APS-H?
Or actually I should just save up more for a FF and fully utilize 2470 before buying a prime..Meh.

why did you buy the 70-200 ah?

Last time when I'm not lazy I do stage photographing.
Mainly for portraiture lor, but somehow just got bored of what it does and wanting to get something better.

just realize the unit is a year old. looks good, too bad not on my priority list.

Haha yeah, too bad for me :/
Well no really in a rush but..Hope can sell it before july - -

from what i see, 1350 is grey set price for non VC while 1750 is grey set price for VC.

Hmm... Somehow i felt been cheated by the 550D leh... The prob is when i snap a pic... i see the galery/reply is vy sharp(without magnification/zooming in).. when i transfer to my lappie is not as sharp as i thought... Hmm...

Can I said that the 550D 1million dot on its screen is d*mn gud!!

Any acccessories for my canon worth getting from Tokyo? This is my first SLR

Big difference. Worthiness depends whether you would use it or not. Improvement are even more noticeable on Sigma 50mm f/1.4 but have to pay more lah

go for the cheapest for protectionm, general usage & CPL, if want flawless image, just take off the filter b4 taking the shot. Wait till later you upgraded to more satisfying higher end glasses then only go for expensive filters.

IQ wise i can't tell the difference. very subtle, the bokeh is noticecably better when it comes to lights, the 1.4 more rounded.

that aside, build quality wise improve A LOT.

i find the 1.4 to handle better and does focus faster, less hunting.

worth the upgrade? no straight answer. i think for most people, it's not.

ahhhhh the joy of taking pics in FF. damn!

block from internet world awhile...wahh...Rm215 kena potong..sigh...dun1 go photoselagor oledi lar...Where you guys normally buy the lens har??

Ya maaaaan. When my daughter n I saw the 1D being hit by the football both of us went "WARGGGGGGHHHHHHHHhhhh the 1D!!!!!"




Ya la. The way he talk is like the 16-35 f2.8 is so damn expensive n only he can afford it. Keep challenging ppl to buy n use it before talking. He's like saying every1 needs to shaddap n listen to him just coz he got uber 16-35 f2.8. The 16-35 f2.8 lens is just a cheap lens, yet he wanna act like big shot. But then I looked at his jpeg file name n they all start with DSC which kinda explains the mentality a bit.






My observations between my 5D n 1D-

When I 1st plugged in the 17-40 f4 to the 1D, I was like "where the heck did the bokeh disappear to?". It really is that much less creamy. Had to get a 16-35 f2.8 to gain back the bokeh. The FF rendition is just so much creamier n smoother it's kinda unexplainable in words. So if u were to plug in ur current lenses to an FF, ur reaction is gonna be the opposite which will go like "phwoarrrrrrrr where the heck did all this bokeh come from?"

I dont understand what Canon puts in the 1D(mebe it's got some fairy dust inside ) though coz it's so damn sharp n the level of details in a puny 10mp is just mind blowing. It looks the same as my 5D at 21mp actually. BUT what u will see is the dreamy, creamy, smooth rendition when u go back to the FF. Ur love affair with the 70-200 f2.8L IS may just be reignited by putting it on a FF body.

So I reckon u shud get an FF instead of an 85L. Coz f4 on the FF is already damn nice, f2.8 is almost too much and f1.4 is already over the nose bleed limit on a FF.





U need to zoom in 10x la if u wanna check ur pic sharpness. That's what the hi res LCD is for. If not, blur shot oso looks sharp on the small screen.





U will only see smoother bokeh with the 50mm f1.4. Both lenses r just as soft so I wouldnt bother going from the f1.8 to f1.4 if I were u.
