QUOTE(goldfries @ Nov 7 2010, 11:50 PM) haha. nonsense. You can see people talking about 3rd party flashes all the time. Heard how good is Metz? I also used Sigma so many years, spam also no problem. thanks bro goldfries!the fella could be actually user problem leh. im kinda relieve to heard that... for me...i will aim for di622 for low budget + flash learning... if budget allow...sure get 580EXII my fren bought 580EXII for learning...but good cz i believe it is for long term usage  |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 8 2010, 12:01 AM) Quite cheaply because she didn't realise the shop didn't give her the stand. so it doesn't come wif stand?thats bad... but im kinda interested if d price is wad i expected...but any idea bout di622 markII? but kinda expensive..cost around RM550 for it Added on November 8, 2010, 12:06 am QUOTE(goldfries @ Nov 8 2010, 12:03 AM) hrmm. better than nothing but not good actually. ic...where got such thing as 580EX II being long term usage?  how long also depends on you mah. if your style Di622 suits, then it can last for ages. if your style progresses further and further, even 580EX II also not enough. lets say for indoor shots di622 ok or not? n isit worth to topup to get di622mkII? edit: my fren bought the di866 in february dis year...then for duno wad reason he saw one small crack at hotshoe...then he jz say not durable wor...n d heat make the hotshoe's crack even worse?i only rmbr las time he told me that bcz of d plastic cant tahan d heat...n d those non 3rd party one is metal one...no prob vs. heat  anyway...will like to try out a nissin flash also...dun poison me wif 580EXII This post has been edited by ckdenion: Nov 8 2010, 12:08 AM |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 8 2010, 12:07 AM) Yeah I know. aiya...sooner or later u will get it also...since it is better to hv ppl scout d price for u so it is a better opportunity ma? Next year can save more liao.  Yes, korek korek! Agree. Buy the one which suits your needs, as for me I asked people here before how's the Di622 performs, they didn't recommend me... Then switched to Canon speedlite, was thinking 430EX II and going shopping with mengsuan is a bad choice. He kept poisoning me with his 580EX II and helped to survey around for the best price...  hehe...anyway u take any nice photos wif ur flash? let us c ur shot wif d speedlite! when im into flash then i will read more guides n ask d sifus here... Added on November 8, 2010, 12:14 am QUOTE(Grajindo @ Nov 8 2010, 12:11 AM) obviously crack is not caused by the heat. heat will melt it, but wont crack it. wad do u mena by later di622?btw, i have problem with the af assists beam for my di622(not accurate). mine is about 1 year old. but i've heard that the later di622 have no problem with the af assits beam. d di622 mkII or d later batch of di622?

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 9 2010, 11:15 AM) It's Tokina and not Tonika... Yea..agree...whn i try my 500d wif tammy1750 VC...d weight bcom nicer to me...as in more ngam d weight...bet if i attach BG n flash thn shud b ok already...Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 VC are two different ranges lenses, how can be compared like that? Tokky is an Ultra Wide Angle lens whereas Tammy is Wide to Mid-zoom lens. 550D is very light? Yeah, because it is not made by magnesium alloy body but when I attach it with my battery grip, Tammy 1750VC and 580EX II, it really carries some weights now. At least those people that hold my camera said that it is heavy... To me, I'm still OK with it. thou dun plan to get BG n flash for d time being. |

QUOTE(Jet23sky @ Nov 9 2010, 11:31 AM) ooo... icic.... So both are different range of lenses? I heard from seller that this one Tokky can be used for full frame. Is it correct? Tokky ultra wide angle can be used for portrait photo taking right? It still goes down to individual preferences n requirement...They said that 550D is suitable for girls. I think which is really really really suitable for u. ^^ Maybe you're right, attach the lense might be heavier. But seriously, I dont know why, the handling is so good when i hold the 50D. XD |

QUOTE(goldfries @ Nov 9 2010, 11:56 PM) 1. you referring to food blog or food photography blog? argh...goldfries...2. best reference - cook books! or watch AFC3. food blog photos generally not nice. there are those nice ones but they are still limited in many ways. taking nice photos for food blog doesn't mean one can actually do nice food shoot. actually wanted to ask him to visit ur food blog lazy to copy ur link here so i jz ask him to visit food photography blog...err...supposed to be your food blog...since he is new here so i nvr mention ur name...later d following ques comes asking "who is goldfries?" i tink i learn mine from ur food blog too...n sometimes those newspaper got those food recipe...i look at those pictures instead of d recipe  |
