please ignore the IQ. its almost 70% crop. this is my only shot before it ran away.


i am aiming for bigger n better things now huhuhuhuhu

old things don go new things won come~

wo.. takutnye gear stripped.. i also got one..
just thinking to get a UWA..

Gear stripping is common. I sent my 1870 for repair last time because of gear strip. Luckily under warranty, RM0. Hehe.

if cheap lens ok ler.. i won't thing UWA is cheap..

mikeshashimi: is it the 11-18 tammy? or 10-24 tammy? i hear ad scared la weh....

Sorry to hear about that mike, this is the first time I've heard about a Tammy getting gear stripped (actually this is the 1st time I've heard of any lens apart from the 18-70mm kit getting gear stripped).

Does this mean any lens which uses the body's AF motor to focus will have a tendency to get gear stripped? Can't imagine this happening to a 85mm & 135mm ZA! OMG!

Not reli. Tendency for gear stripping if used with A700 is quite well known as the AF motor at high speed setting will cause gear stripping. But not all lenses are prone to this issue. The older 18-70 however though, is well known for this issue lol.

gear stripping can cause by many thing,
i) the hood might be tightly lock, and u have to use force to unhood, causing unnecessary stress on the gear during unhood.
ii) ur hand/finger acciendentally hold the focus ring/rubber jamming(withholding) the focus....
iii) drops, (during in bag, throw bag etc, swing) causing the gear inside may dislodge a little, little tiny bit, but during turn on, the motor burst to turn to infinity and FML.


sigh, today dunno why so poison to get nex5 and today i will be in fever oh.

today near half day at Orchard Rd. first pusing2 at Lucky Plaza, damn those seller kept pushing for the stupid adapters. I ask for lenses they say adapter better . Stop by at Sony center but just see see only. tomorrow probably singgah wanna try lens. I saw 135 STF , CZ24, 85 2.8 and 35mm 1.8 to play

Crumpler is abit more expensive even higher than at shashinki , also dun have the color i wan... Also crumpler is like the new trend for singaporeans i see, everywhere Crumpler . i saw one girl just put watter bottle and food inside 5MDH

finally the xmas sale is just one bluff. Most shop even no sale. only big big department store ...
