if the hand is already chopped, then crop off the hand and go tighter.
this way also u get rid of the irritating guy in the background.

most of the time i use a lowepro passport sling, brand new around RM230, its just enough for body + 1 moderate lens.
u can put another lens in but outside the padded internal area.

imo, if u want wide stick to your kit lens.
if u want long, get the 70-300mm VR instead, price will come up to around the same as both those lenses combined.

doesnt the entry level viewfinder show info such as shutter / aperture / iso?

17-55/2.8 on DX, just go get it USED.
can get for around rm3.3k, go SG can find more ppl selling them used.
the lens will obviously hold its used price pretty well even after a few yrs, so once u want to sell off to upgrade u wont lose much.

24-70 on DX is still too tight, dont even talk about landscape.
try shooting large group shots of ppl or more...difference is not like 1 step back...but as much as 3-4 steps back...and most of the time that is space u dont have.

or cheaper still get nikon 28-200

shashinki sold a couple of used two touch AF-D before for rm2350 and rm2450.

yea, but on avg most AF-D are rm3k.

why not interested in the push pull AF-D?

u should go try.
ppl say the push pull AF-D is about maybe 20% slower in focusing than the two touch AF-D.
but i doubt many can really notice it, also of cos depends what body u put it on.
of cos main reason to try it is 2nd hand can get rm1.8k

lol, hi arrogant uncivilized gay


btw, anyone going to this?
1st 3 days are free entry...
so if anyone going, wonder can borrow their 70-200 try try

i using D7000 la...so 200mm on DX is almost long enough...else i just drag out my 70-300VR.

lol.
i havent really played tennis for a long time, ever since bad boy mcenroe retired
most of the time was playing squash instead...but now too lazy also.

ummm 55-300 can use teleconverter? u sure?

blah, stupid hoya hmc filter...it softens my images a bit.

nikon 6mm f/2.8

On a telephoto can tell got small difference.
Its like finer detail has a slight haze over it.
Got someone on dpreview forum who also complain same thing.

here - http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat...87&changemode=1

wat u using on 70200?

why suddenly this forum become squashed...must be the stupid sony ad on top.

i suggest u dont use the hoya hmc on the 70-300vr, im using that same combo...or at least i was...now no more.
here are the 100% crop samples i shot this evening.
i took a few shots with filter, and few without filter of the same spot to make sure its consistent.
i guess the differences should be obvious.

with filter.


w/o filter.

well yea, thats why its now naked.
and yea, fully zoomed at 300mm.

the starting point for the 80-200 would be the AF-D one ring version, around rm1.8k used.
after that i would jump straight to the 80-200 AF-S two touch...about rm4k used, ignoring the 80-200 AF-D two touch which sits in the middle of those two somewhere.

real men dont need VR
