It's nice but quite expensive lo, if going to all concert I paid SGD$188. If not attending the concert (just the events and exhibition) not that expensive. Less than SGD50 if not mistaken.

I posted in photo gallery 1 year ago, all shot with my good old D40 =D

Didn't cover much for the event but more for figure etc. Concert can't take photo so no photos for concert...

I forgot the price for exhibition because last time I bought the concert tickets. Check the price yourself at http://www.animefestival.asia

I can't load that page now, connection slow.

Of course D7000 + kit lens lo, you can get better overall performance and magnesium body etc and better sharpness.

Woah all May'N fans? Me too but no choice can't go this year. Last year listened to her singing live at AFA 09, really nice vocal... Listening to live is soooo nice, very energetic just like in the songs =D

OOPS sorry out of topic... Last year I can't capture the stage well, no tele and noob flash skill >.<

Err other than concert some events were on the stage like K-On! seiyuu meet ups, danny choo's special appearance etc, can capture.

Yes, a DX lens with VR.

F3.5-5.6 IIRC... Anyone can confirm about the price? Not sure is it selling separately outside... Last time was D80 kit lens.

Oops sorry I thought was D80
Cuz my uni's photography club paired like that so I thought was D80's kit lens.

Celciuz hand itchy want buy 85 1.4G d XD

Last time I booked hotel before I go singapore for AFA09, but when I reached the bus station there and got into a taxi, the taxi driver told me no need to book hotel before going, just ask the taxi drivers where got cheap hotel near the exhibition centre (if it's suntec city tell him) and he will recommend...

He told me all taxi drivers in Singapore know that. But I never tried before. Last time I stayed in a hotel (forgot name) for $118 each night, but not very close to the exhibition centre...

No walking distance is not really possible (i went sg 2 times only, not so sure) because if Im not mistaken, around suntec city either there's no cheap hotel or there's no nearby hotel... We took MRT to the place. Upon reaching there still need to walk a bit but not tiring.

But that's going towards the exhibition. When going back to hotel, MRT closed already, taxi double charge, so we WALKED back to the hotel, my friend is PR there he led the way, around 30minutes~45minutes route.

Sorry for out-of-topic guys, just helping him =D

I'm exactly 19 years old like you lor, also student somemore government university, parents can't sponsor me. Since I'm determined to get my own set of gears but without relying on my mum (mum only 1k+ salary and dad no longer here) so I worked during semester break and save money to get my gears ^^

Looking at your purpose it would be better if you get a kit 18-105mm lens. I'm telling if you do not know yet, all rounded lens like 18-200mm lens is versatile, convenient but you sacrifice overall sharpness and it's more expensive and heavier. a 18-55 + 55-200 is much better than a 18-200mm's sharpness.

Since you're using for traveling, gatherings and outings, 18-105mm is sufficient and sharp enough, and for normal outings you rarely need above 100mm. Getting a 18-105mm + a 50mm 1.8 (for low light and bokeh) will give me more fun with a cheaper price. But well there are still many people using 18-200 because it's simply convenient. It's your call.


BTW can any Moderators/Staff close this thread? V10 is already running and this V9's TS is missing... Thanks.
