The guy asking bout hood for 18-55. Make sure u don't get the gaya petal hood ya.


No thank u. I don't like to use ND filters. I want to be able to walk in n out of bright n dark places n just snap away without having to screw around with all that. Also, u really wanna put another piece of black glass in front of the beautiful lens? N u want me to buy an ND filter for every lens? The UV filters alone already cost me rm700 per piece for each lens. Add sumore ND in front will not only degrade IQ, it will degrade my wallet.

gaya petal hood? What's wrong wif petal hood bro?

due to rotating front focus...if u put petal hood on ur 1855...u wont want to c ur hood keep rotating rite?
those wif petal hood d front element doesnt rotate when focusing...
correct me here if im wrong

Guys, want to ask ar.

If I were to find a lens similar to the 24-70 range and constant aperture f/2.8, which lens should I consider ar?

Choices are: Tamron 28-75 f/2.8, Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 and Tokina 28-80 f/2.8

From internet, seems that Tokina has the best build, lens wont extend when zooming, and has better glass. But I find this lens kinda 'cold' among photography hobbyist in Malaysia. I also never heard of this all these while until recently. Dont see anyone selling new. Can only find second hand ones for Nikon mount.

The seller claimed Tokina 280 focusing speed is super fast, soild build, vivid colour output, standard 77mm filter ring. Downside are heavy, a little bit soft when full aperture open, paint at lens body easy drop off.

Anyone has some thoughts to share with?

Thanks for info bro...
Any idea on the price range?

splitter? might to enlighten me?

My friend dslr got robbed at aussie. Hopefully my items never kena robbed also

err.. i m not sure.. but u said u wanna monitor the sound recorded.. so mayb u can get a splitter to split yr mic input to headphone and to camera.. those audio stuff..

get robbed on the street or... at home breaking in?

but then if like that the sound quality isnt it will be mono instead of stereo?

I thought u should get those amp thingie instead of a mic... but I also dont know for sure... go search at youtube.. most of them used sony dmc [as their recording sound system for 5dm2] to get stereo output

Home break-in. Everything gone except for 18-55.

wah... and I thought aus is a nice place... I gues everywhere is just the same..

then u have to test out and do some research lo.. i never tried before, juz giving a suggestion since u wanna listen to yr own recording while video..

the preamp with XLR input? this i know... but still recovering from my wounds... lol... it costs more than 1k... big damage after buying the 60D...

will do more research on it... so far so good for it.. have to save some bullets 1st... XD

Giaogiao pang, Tokina is very nice. The company was started by a bunch of Nikon lens engineers. They left n started Tokina. Very good lenses at much better prices but why u want 24-70 on a 50D? Not nice ler not having wide angle. It's almost 40mm on ur 50D!

Wah wireless lavs, nice. I no budget for those kind of set up yet, although I want it

Yeah that's one problem I get with recording videos on the 5D2, there's no headphones output to monitor the audio. If I want I'll have to buy an external preamp or use those Zoom recorders.

Btw bro, I assume you're not using AGC right? Where do you usually set the audio levels? Another bad thing about not having an external preamp is that I can't change the audio levels on the fly while recording.

wow, then we have to put it somewhere special... i put it under my laundry

I put in my mini vault... seriously

wow...
Pity him/her..
I dapat people curi SLR Im gonna break their hands then cut ir off..
Mother got nothing else better to do...
