I know then I need to save more liao...
Bingo! You really know me too well.
Now I have the sufficient cash to get a used Tamron 17-50mm non-VC already but scared regret pulak.
What is that to congratulate for? Read goldfries' first post. No congrats post.
And what for to chase Sony thread? There is no gift for winner.

mine!!!!

How much and where? 

Well, back from my dinner. Here's a sample of my mini new toy snapped using my new toy(if you can figure out what it is) .

Canon 50mm F1.2L is >12k?! Serious?!

viking is a bastid. To afford this lens, I need to sell off my fishing boat. Then me n family need to eat corals. 
50mm f1.8  IQ oredi very bad, better just use it naked n dont degrade it any further with cheap filters.
How can it be inferior to the f1.8???? The f1.8 is absolutely horribleeeeeeeee
1D can just go out n buy anytime, anyday. Just go out to the camera shop "boss kasi 1 biji 1D".  Bungkus in plastic bag n jalan.  50mm f1.0 even got money oso cant find.
H1N1. 

OMG...delicious pictures there,L lens powarrr again!!

nvm, 4 hour drive only very fast

I go SG play with your 550D can?

where is the show? sg?

Something popped out on Friday and my fund for Tamron 17-50mm got interrupted.

Hopefully I can get one next month, praying hard. Hopefully I can source for a cheap used unit.

I believe non-VC is sufficient enough huh?

eh ??? EF lens distance scale not accurate for crop body ??? so the infinity is not infinity ???

all i can think of his logic is like this :

during model shooting,

use UWA, can see whole body, net stocking on white silky long leg, nice AXX covered with mini skirt.....  .....ooo beh tahan, steam liao, heart pounding, sweating, hand shaking mah...

use tele lens usually shot upper half of the body and the face only, less distraction so can concentrate & less hand shake.....

AIYA, U GO SHOT MODEL WITH UWA THEN U KNOOOOOOW LAH 
p/s : UWA is hand grapple distance, tele too far liao.
p/s2 : UWA usually shot at "odd" angle, such as from above (see boo) or from below (see ..... )

550D can support SDXC lerrr 64GB mmmmmm 

im going for 100L 
hopefully can get at the end of the month

u all don't kacau blur_goofy la. Don't need batt grip doesn't mean cannot buy la. As long as sendiri syiok, just buy it. Buy whatever makes u feel happy. Just like placebo medicines, even though useless but the person feels better then by all means go ahead n BUY BUY BUY.
If u choose a non gadget freak husband then I say u really tai sei lor. Surely must find a gadget freak or 1 who understands n supports it. Hehe
Who said? The story can end 1.  Just like me. My story ended oredi. No more buying. No more targets.

a seller quote me 3350 including postage =) official set.
