u guys know how to use photomatix with lightroom?

i mean like from lightroom, we can right click on the photo and choose edit in photoshop. is it possible to like select 3 photos and then straight open in photomatix from lightroom?

Merry Christmas to all LYN friends.
@fcuk90: So sad to see the broken mount. Hope can be replaced. If not, add SB700 to ur collection.

Shoot with SB700

Thanks Kiki!! Over West m'sia, most of the things are cheaper than east m'sia. btw im new here, and i want to ask, how can i look for LYN?

So far 4499 is the cheapest that i heard for the d7k. if i can find in kuching as low as 4550, for sure i will GRAB it!!!

OK!! how can i see the reliability of the TRIPOD? as i heard the mounting plate is quite fragile if u go for cheap. BUT how do we know is good or not?? haha dont say "price tells"!! And is there any other thing that i need to aware(in term of quality) of before buying the tripod? coz Kuching doesnt hv much choice...

Just slowly browse thru. Don't rush in getting stuff. Beware of conman too.

Besides looking at the mounting etc, the leg of the tripod is important too. Sure you don't want a trong wind can blow it down for sure. Good brands, Giottos, Benro, Manfrotto, Gitzo, Velbon etc. Sometimes the truth hurts. Yes, i do look at the price. Try to look at Shashinki or Yamiya for choices. I bought my Benro tripod from Yamiya. 2xx one would be okay already.

Holy Moses!! how can it(bag) be!!!!! Really sorry to hear that. Anyway thanks a lot to post the picture up!! You help a lot of readers to aware of this happening.

Tuan tuan, puan puan, pakcik pakcik n makcik makcik sekalian, please be aware of this. It might happen to anyone of you... thanks

In any other country, you'd bring the bag back to nikon, they'd replace it, your camera and flash, and then issue a product recall because obviously its a product failure. In our beloved country... you suffer and buy a new flash... And many other people will suffer the same fate. Sad isn't it?

That's why I never use the Nikon bag. At least got lucky to get the leather type than the BIG Nikon words there. Lots of people complaining about the mount of Nissin flash. Need to handle with care. If i do get Nissin, it think i will break it at the early stage. I got the habit when i'm lazy, i will pick the camera up from the flash(flash attached). Not from the grip. :

guys ... is it worth it to upgrade from a SB600 to a SB700 or should i go for a SB900 straight ???

I don't think so... Its lighter and more powerful. You do however get commander mode, and easier to use controls. I'd say a true upgrade will be to SB900 and SB700 more of a side-grade since you win some but lose some as well.

Added on December 27, 2010, 12:20 amI pick up my setup by the lenses and flash as well. Thats why... metal metal metal!!! Can't stress enough on the need for metal stuff.

Yeah @adriancs.. Now, it makes me worried to carry the Nikon sling bag around.. Luckily last 2 days outstation my equip safe (touch wood).. Need to extra careful in future. Maybe it's true Nikon should responsible for that..

yup ... i kind of agree with you there ... quite happy with my SB600 currently ... but would really like to give the commander mode a test drive ...

@eddy your body no commander mode? Uh... if not... then yes the SB700 would make for a nice upgrade. But get an extra unit, don't sell your SB600. The SB600 can be used in CLS as a slave unit.

nissin di866 pro? i personally think its hv advantages over sb900..

For upgrade, definately SB900 in-term of performance but in return with more bulky and weight heavier too.

Uh... the plastic mount alone makes it not "worth it". All the other specs are irrelevant if you can't mount your flash on your camera.

I've personally seen more broken mounts than I'd like to.

IMHO SB800 was the "perfect" flash from Nikon. Even the SB900 is a downgrade if you ask me. Heavier, more expensive and less power.

it has a built in commander mode but i need to pop up the built in flash for it to work ... i dont know if there is a work around for this or not ...

Yea, you'd use the pop up flash to "trigger" the rest of your setup. You can set your pop up flash to be trigger only and not have any effects on the subject.

how do i do that ???
