LOL, it different from the weather.
I just came back from Beijing 2 days ago.

Winter starts early this year.
A few days before I left the city and it's officially winter already.

Bring good gloves, or else your hands will be very very stiff, can't press shutter button.

to wipe the lens due to condensation?

Not really on the condensation, coz humidity there is low.
Based on my experience, when going from cold places to a warm place i.e shopping mall or restaurants with heater, it doesn't condense so badly like in Malaysia.
Maybe humidity is lower there.

i nvr tried my 2500mAh ones' can last how long, i usually charge them cos i dun wanna take risk of no power

Use only on night time for portrait shooting.
Flash level 3-5 as I'm using the bounce card.

I'm also very shocked by the time it lasted.

what i heard is, compare it side by side, the 55-300 look like suppose to be more.. in other word 300mm dont look like actual 300mm..

i donno... i read it in some online review... maybe the review is wrong..
*
If 300mm isn't 300mm, why do they even bother to say it's 300mm ? rclxub.gif rclxub.gif
Got 1 forumer here use 55-300, go ask him.

Forgot who he is liao, but I remember his avatar is a husky dog.
