that's the problem should I go for B+W or Hoya for normal zoom lens? as I don't want cheapo filter to degrade the IQ. <- heard some fellas complaining about this.

but usually CPL and ND will be attached to UWA right? as we will need wide angle for landscape and those filters especially ND works best for landscape. correct me if I am wrong.
how about CPL? good for portrait? or landscape only?

CPL for 77mm
and ND for UWA?

CPL not just for landscape, can use for product shots also.

Thanks guys your input pretty much conclude my question.
conclusion:
Grab 77mm filter for ND and CPL, don't go for 52mm and 67mm?
for the rest use UV, but don't use cheapo uv? am I correct?

U need to understand the meaning of grey set. If u buy a US set in Malaysia for example, then it is not covered. But if u buy that US lens in US, or HK lens in HK, then u bring to Malaysia or anywhere else, got defective, it should be covered.
*
that one all i know la...only applies for certain countries like US.
so if u buy a lens in say UK, go back to US, US nikon will honor the warranty.
but malaysia is a different story.

Grey set=no warranty/you're betting your luck
Local warranty=warranty only covers at the place/country you bought the product
International warranty=warranty covers at all the listed countries

Most probably your friend's lens are local warranty set. All original nikon lenses selling in malaysia are international warranty set.
*
maybe if buy in malaysia local nikon set can claim in other countries...but looks like nikon malaysia wont entertain other countries...seems warranty card must state nikon malaysia on it.

I'm thinking if I should send my 70200 for servicing before the warranty ends? Hmm... got particles inside -.- damn the VR2's infamous issue back then.

How much are the charges for servicing anyone knows before I ask Nikon (at least got rough idea haha).
*
when i asked them how much to clean fungus etc, they said rm100-200 depending on how severe it is.

usually higher end bodies have microadjustment/AF fine tuning..by that u can try out ur focusing is correct onot. if got rajin, the whole day can try from +20 drop 1 by 1 to -20 laugh.gif

duno if entry level bodies got this feature onot. but usually its kinda important for those who do macrowork. and usually 3rd party lenses oni have this back/front focusing issue. dont know if normal nikkor lenses got onot.
*
actually its called AF fine tune for a reason...to fine tune the already somewhat accurate AF of lenses...nikkor lenses included.
some nikkor lenses on respective bodies will of cos look somewhat sharp or slightly soft but still in focus at 0, but it can be fine tuned to be sharper depending what value its set.
i doubt the AF fine tune can help a 3rd party lens thats seriously back or front focus.

this site has a good explanation.
