70-300 VR brand new 1.8k IIRC

well, u get what u pay for. cant expect miracles.
i found the bokeh is still acceptable.
example at 300mm.

or u may check my FB..my straight on experience with the 55-300VR.no third party internet reviews. just wanna share.

not saying that its superior than 70-300VR(1.8k-2.2k,depend on places), but for the price(1.15k-1.3k), it's very very acceptable and the IQ wasnt too far off, if not as good.
anyway, i think we are way off topic. this is the show off your new gadgets thread. hehehe..taaa..

If the photos i saw from your fb are indication of the quality, i would say the 55-300 is way softer than the 70-300vr ...

nice pictures there

I should try it out this weekend. But never expect much as 55-200 also so so only

The wireless trigger for flash la

My loot for today!

Sorry for the poor quality photos, use my phone to capture the image

18-55 lens? doesnt seem to be a lil limited?

i bought it wid the kitlens..haha not enuf $$ to get other lens ..goin to fund for the sal50mm18 this december and then get myself a flash

Cool XD

Smart move there bro

? haha..as in for the choices of the lens im funding? XD..or is there any better suggestion? ><..was tinking of getting a zoom lens..though..dn tink i might need it for now

Lens funding. Start with 50mm n flash next. then later, when you know your style, prepare to invest big lo

Flash first then lens la

Depends. A 50mm lens would give you flexibility 1st b4 flash comes. That's my personal opinion. If you think differently, great then XD

What flexibility ? Mind to explain to me ? 50mm on crop is tight.

maybe he just meant either get a Fast Lens(50 mm 1.8 is the cheapest out there) or get a flash..whichever comes first doesnt really matter since the other guy is just starting up..by flexibility i think he meant about the ability of the lens in low light condition, not the 50mm thing.it's about aperture.

ps: i personally dont know who chiahau is,but i think it's not that hard to understand what he was trying to share with us, really.

So under low light group photo what you gonna do ?
Kit lens is sufficient and pair with flash. Of course 50mm is good to have but it's not a must. Creative shot yes, low light flash play it way better.

I say it from my opinion tho.

Ppl just voice their opinion. No need to be so bla bla bla... This is forum.

I didn't. Just my 2cent also

i did research a few stuff regarding lenses and flashes..i decided to get the lens first then the flash cause i figure out i wont be using the flash most of the time since i wont be taking any night pictures for now
