i'm backk!! been a while. haha.

thinking of getting the 24-120 f/4. but from the looks of it, it'll cost around RM5k cry.gif


Added on September 5, 2010, 12:56 pmbtw, for those who remembered me asking, i got my spanner wrench biggrin.gif LOL. had to buy it off ebay and it was RM140 for the one with removable heads.

it was worth it though. i managed to CLA my 135mm Steinheil but the 40 year old fungus etch marks were permanent. sad.gif oh well.

hey cel, what's your honest opinion on the 70-200 f/2.8 VRII ?

Is it worth the trouble of carrying a heavy lens or would you have rather used multiple single focal lengths with fast aperture instead?

but as i see it, lenses like 85 f/1.4G is already RM5k >< seems like the 70-200 is more worth it.

thanks!

Based on celciuz's previous pictures, I would say it's awesome! The sharpness, contrast and etc. But I don't own one so I can't say much smile.gif

hahah. yeah, his pictures really do give the 70-200 a good image. seriously considering the 70-200 as i really can't think of any other lenses that can meet my needs. thanks! biggrin.gif

No idea, but the 50mm is just sub par lens among 50mm primes. LOL.
Can't comment much, I only have a little 50mm f/1.8D prime lens. The other 2 are zoom lens. I like the flexibility of 70200 f/2.8 and especially the low light capability with VR, but although can hand held at slow speed, but can't freeze action well which is why I'm considering a low light lens, 85mm f/1.4G.
Sure, these lens won't disappoint you... it is one of the trinity after all biggrin.gif.
70200 is a more flexible compared to primes. Downside? Heavier!

aiteee. thanks dude! 85 f/1.4G is a seriously good lens. but the price is just too much to ask for isn't it. rather have the 70-200. ima get it real soon! biggrin.gif hehe.

True. The length and weight of the lens will make it more stable to hold IMO. My 2nd dream lens after the 24-70 biggrin.gif
*
yeah, it'll be nice to hold and will be more stable. but if used for day's event then it'll take a pretty big toll on you. time to buff up! tongue.gif hahaha.

24-70 is awesome. but as i see, we're using crop sensors so unless we have an ultra-wide, 24mm doesn't seem wide enough. holding off till a full frame upgrade biggrin.gif

Is it me or is there a sudden soft spot towards the left along a vertical path where the tower is. blink.gif looks like it gets sharper again towards the edge.
