U can adjust it to how tight u want it. Up to personal preference. I love this lens soooooooooooooooooo much. Best lens for action photography where we got no time to think or change lens. Just snap snap snap only.

one lens to rule them all

Awesomeness and convenient of zoom lens are undeniable.
In fact it's the reason that keeps me away from trying Prime lenses.

Ohh man 2470. Till I find a good reason to move to prime (aperture and sharpness actually), this lens will be sticking on my camera all the time lol

and how in the world did you "bought a wrong lens"?

Cause it doesn't allow me to do creative portraiture? lol.

Seriously, you can probably fund a pretty decent Sigma 50mm f1.4 or the recently launched 85mm F1.4 (if the 50mm is any indication of its quality, the 85 probably wont dissapoint), without having to "trade in" the 70-200

The 70-200 still has its uses....this is as good as it gets for a medium telephoto lens.

I understand. But I don't see the point of keeping something that I have no use with, it's just a waste in my hand.

first time i tried it was in KLPF 08, loved the range.

the only 18-200 replacement i can think off, never knlw one day i'!! get one myself. still cost less than 24-70 and 70-200 2.8 IS combined.

Fisherman use it shoot ikan bilis photo.

Fisherman has all lenses. I remember him telling before that he loves 28-300L a lot.

zoom lens are definitely more convenient . i basically almost sold off all my lens except the 50mm f/1.4 which I don't really use much anymore. Now I just use the 24-70 exclusively

ahhh that fisherman, now i understand.

every time tell me he capture fish, he actually mean CAPTURE fish with his camera laaaaaa. i seeeeeee.

Hi guys some off topic questions..

Are we still allow to bring DSLR into FRIM? I heard they charge DSLR users since last year, is that true? Or do we have to really smug it? lol

agree

eh, we cannot bring DSLR into FRIM ka? i always bring it in last time, but long time don't go dy.

Actually this fisherman that we know off will have 2x 28-300 if one incident didn't happen

I think we can bring it. My friend just went a few weeks back. What is the difference with bringing a digital camera and SLR into FRIM?
Both are cameras and both are used to take photos. So I don't understand to the no SLR but you can bring Digital Camera

That's why I want to clarify, cuz there are many topics in PM saying they charge for DSLR users for bringing in to FRIM. Anyone can confirm on this?

If FRIM charge for DSLR to go in, then I'll bring a G11 instead.

Everyone seems to be getting zoom lenses here. And now here I am trying to move to just shooting with primes hahaha

FRIM only charge u if u are going in there for commercial photo eg. wedding photo, or else it will be free

anyone who got go to Pavilion for the Race Queen yesterday?
