im sory, bt i used to b like d guys u said, bt i'll say everybd nid to start learning frm somewhere?
Most ppl get their 1st flash will thk logically point flash upwards + diffuser dome = non-harsh flash.
Its 1 way of testing flash technics without referring to tutorials or ask ppl, ppl nid to learn frm mistakes.
N imo, bounce high ceiling wif diffuser dome is nt wrong, d effect not bad, jz nt efficient which causes overheat
At least better than direct flash with auto mode giving PnS results
D diffuser dome works in a way like demb diffuser, but instead of reflecting light frontwards, it directs d light 360 degrees around(n up), hence d overpowering flash n cause overheat
Few thgs i thk SB700 is better than SB900:
1. Shortcut switch to change between TTL, manual, GN mode
2. Short cut switch to change between wide, standard, narrow flash coverage
3. Solid different colour diffuser caps intead of colour plastic gel which curls after heavy usage n hard to swap

hah... you have your point... but cannot compare new technology with old technology... just like comparing d300s with d7000.... the newer ones rulezzz.... smile.gif

I thought of getting the version 3 of the GGS which comes with the plastic thing something like the BM11 condom + 2 more pieces for the viewfinder n the smaller screen. but it seems that it not available everywhere. so i thought of getting a cheap one just for safety purposes first before getting a permanent one. now the soft transparent plastic still havent peel off.

i got that for my d300s.... and i never use it... dont really feel like putting that plastic thing on my screen... but that's just me... i only use their screen and control panel screen protector...

not sure bout d7000 since it's still new... last time i bought mine from my friend's shop bintang maju(cam world)... perhaps you can try the shop where you bought your d7000 from...

ok guys...this is getting kinda complicated. plus i cant find GGS' original website.

just now i went to the shop, they had the d90 version 3 which comes in 3 pieces (condom + viewfinder + small screen)
they're selling at RM80 and it's plastic.

I needa clarify this mann...does the version 3 which has a clip on for the main screen comes in glass types? or only the normal single piece where i have to stick it on only comes in glass.

if so, for the set which i need to stick the big piece, does it come with the protector for the smaller screen?

I'm speaking for D7000 here.
*
not sure bout d7000.... this is the one i got... mine comes with a plastic/glass(not sure what material already... but either one...) lcd cover.... a view finder plastic cover... screen guard for their plastic/glass lcd cover and control panel...

but i didnt use their lcd and view finder cover... sorry... photo taken with my phone...

I think if put on looks ugly, from the images on the box la that is. Lucky I opt for the older version, looks sleek and clean.

hah... got what you mean... that's why i didnt put on.... i cannot accept it... the oem plastic screen protector looks much better in this case... tongue.gif

hmm....could there be a common cause for it?
like overusing, heat or dropping it?


Added on December 24, 2010, 2:50 pmok this is weird....just now i tested the lens, it wasnt working. but then the seller went to Nikon, tested it's working.

what are the possibilities here? could it be the contacts were a bit dirty coz he didnt use the lens for some time already. or could it be my body is spoilt? I remember i tried my body with a different lens and it works.

could the lens be partially dead? sometimes can sometimes cannot?
*
you went to Nikon with seller or he told you...?

dont get it if you havent pay... not worth the risk...
