Gosh, I just came back from hell. Vomited non-stop since last night, I gave up this morning and doctor gave me a jab. doh.gif Food digestion problem. sad.gif

Then, I forgot to bring my laptop charger back to hometown, edited some shots I took last night, the moment I want to upload them on Flickr, pop! No more battery juice. sad.gif

Sad sad. Been sleeping on bed the whole day. I hope tomorrow will be better...

the way you say it, is as if people all over are aware of your bad spending habits.

Well, since young la. Been pampered by parents and sisters. She knows that's my hobby of buying gadgets, I guess my sis also got infected by me. She just bought an iPad too. laugh.gif So no issue la, as long as I can save a bit every month, to them it's fine. smile.gif

how muc u selling it?

Quite cheaply because she didn't realise the shop didn't give her the stand. doh.gif
I'll post at my signature when I'm done with my busy week....

Anyway, I personally think that the purchase of 580EX II is much significant compared to when I bought the Tammy. tongue.gif The flash totally blown my mind. tongue.gif
Having said that, Tammy wasn't a regretful purchase as I needed the range too. laugh.gif

hrmm. better than nothing but not good actually.
where got such thing as 580EX II being long term usage? smile.gif

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.
*
Yeah I know. sad.gif Next year can save more liao. nod.gif

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... sweat.gif

Goldy, in which kind of situation I can utilise the +4 filter the best? I tried snapping the chicken chop gravy the other day and it turned out sucks. sad.gif

Any advice? smile.gif

Maybe you can try to look for Bagman. It's like the Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home's clone. Should be below RM200.  smile.gif

Oh ya, good recommendation. The biggest size is only RM 150. smile.gif
Sifu Viking is using, still good until today, so no issue. thumbup.gif

im choosing in between 5MDH and 6MDH... i dun like big bag.. 7MDH is too big for me, but i've never seen 6MDH in real life... 5MDH's size is nice, but i'm just worried kenot fit everything...

i have a 60D+18-200mm and 50mm so far... perhaps gonna get a flashgun... other lenses not sure yet... do u think 5MDH can do the job, or to be save, get 6MDH?

i saw some Crumpler OEM quite cheap... dunno it's a fake or what...
btw, i'm looking for screen protector for 60D... seems very hard to find tho... any recommendation?
*
There is no Crumpler OEM, most likely it is fake... sweat.gif

Errm, for long term I would suggest you to get a backpack. smile.gif
My sling bag can only use for about 2 hours else, my shoulder gonna break into pieces. tongue.gif
But I find it rather convenient to carry a sling bag la. tongue.gif
Still I wanna get a proper pouch or belt system. hmm.gif
