use custom WB...thats why my bounce card is made of the white foam...easier for me to do custom WB when the lighting gila2...

i saw someone selling macro extension tube for rm80 which doesn't come with electronic contact (no AF), is it worth it?
the ones with AF cost a bomb

comes with focusing rail? better than getting a cheap macro lens adapter that would degrade image quality

get bellows.

what about aperture control via extension tube?

If no electronic contacts, that means no auto function control over the lens, such as aperture or autofocus.

Need manually control. The lens has to be set to the desired aperture while on the camera body, then with the camera switched on, removed from the body while holding the depth of field preview button to keep the iris at the desired aperture.

went to ebay n found much cheaper extension tubes without any function (~RM20)
and some have focus confirm chip (~RM90), i guess that would be a better buy

where's my baby beercan?

anything special @KLCC?

brothers and sisters,

I`m planning to get myself a "Travel" lens & a flash soon.

hoping to get 18-200 to substitute my 18-55. (many time i went for photo session will felt the frustration by the limitation of 18-55)

is it 18-200 is a good investment or any other better option?

flash i will plan to get mostly F42 by next year.

hope brothers and sisters can help me out for some opinions here....THANKS!

evan, get 16-105 or 18-250

hmm..... 16-105 wide abit... but short.... lighter?

18-250 .... hmm... price around?..

The 16-105 & 18-250 should have the same price. I think you can get for Rm16xx new. Should be able to bargain abit on the price. Should weigh the about the same also.

The 16mm will be very useful for wider landscape shots when travelling. If you do not absolutely need the longer end then get the 16-105mm.
