QUOTE(elainor @ Nov 27 2010, 12:05 AM) yea silly act though =( Kent since u are using the 35mm lens can u give some comments on this lens? It's a very nice lens for you to walk around n take normal portraits of friends and families..... but it's not enuf for me to take single person portraits with creamy bokeh, haha.... need at least a 50mm 1.4 =)

QUOTE(adriancs @ Nov 27 2010, 09:09 AM) Very hard bump against the rock. the mount stuck to the lens, but the body... no more mount. Ripped the screws out of it. The lens, wrapped in neoprene, survived without a scratch. Used it for almost 2 more years, then sold it away and replaced it with a VRII. It was a 80-200 AF-D by the way. DLE sounds more like a PC + Home AV + gadgets fair to me rather than any Expo... Maybe some good deals to be had there? How u wrap ur lens with neoprene?  somethin like the body armor thingy?

QUOTE(celciuz @ Nov 27 2010, 09:28 AM) Ouch, do you're saying if this same hard crash on the D3 or something the mount won't come off? I think he meant it, coz > D300 above all full mag alloy body ma.... so assuming the screws r mounted on the alloy body, it wont rip the screw thread off so easily like it will on plastics body

QUOTE(adriancs @ Nov 27 2010, 10:08 AM) Its a D80 that I ruined. The plastic was torn apart and the screws were attached to the mount still. The mount was on the lens, but off the camera I haven't crashed my D700 yet... but I dunno. Metals bend, plastics break. Either way its best to avoid bumps... Anyways, my "neoprene" is just closed cell foam that you can buy from Tesco/Popular stationary shops. I'm cheapskate. I stick them on with foam double sided tape. When its time to sell the lens, just tear it off gently and it leaves very little residue. Some rubbing alcohol will remove the remainder. DONT use nail polish remover. That thing will wash off your lens enamel paint. Get the lens cleaner fluid, video casette tape head cleaner kind of alcohol. Here's a pic of my VR2 in home made "lenscoat". At USD90, its too much for me  Waa..... ur 70-200 like preparing to go to war with a heavy armored Kevlar vest!!

QUOTE(adriancs @ Nov 27 2010, 10:35 PM) Seemsrather expensive if you ask me. Kenko Pro1D at RM 200 is more like a 77 or 82mm size. And vitacon... Please dont. You'll be disappointed by the quality, flare and what not. You can almost get a real Hoya HD or B+W at that price, that shop doesnt sound too honest. Same answer as I answered him in PM, 200 bucks can get Hoya HD dy.... with balance summore.... lol, Hoya HD 77mm i can get for 230 This post has been edited by Kent3888: Nov 27 2010, 10:49 PM

QUOTE(geekster129 @ Nov 29 2010, 12:48 AM) Glenmarie. I'm just helping my relatives to take their group photos. Feels paiseh to take more cos they got an army of 4 OPs (2 Nikon for photo and 2 Canon for video). You say leh?  Somemore, mount I think an SB-600 remotely to do CLS on the stage.. I think the 2 Nikon OP just use 24-70mm, roughly guessed. Both on wide angle. Wow.... Canon sounds unbeatable for Video production huh.... Nikon still can't beat Canon in this field ke.... hahaa, 5DMkII vid
