QUOTE(Andy214 @ Feb 16 2011, 03:42 PM) Competition is growing everyday, more and more people have DSLR and want to make money. The bad part is many people are spoling the market/reputation of professionals, especially for Weddings. Weddings are important moments, but not everyone take it seriously when accepting the job. This spoils the market and image/reputation of photographers, hence why some people start to pick-up DSLR because they can do it too. Just saying from what I've seen. Ya agree... that's why I often channel wedding shooting request to my pro wedding photography friends

QUOTE(kathlynn @ Feb 18 2011, 10:51 AM) hi! after talkin to some friends, one of them suggested to get tamron 18-270mm instead of the 70-300mm for my D5000. any cons with this? coz the price is thereabout, so am not so sure. pls pls pls advise. many thanks!  I won't get a tamron if i were you. photo quality for long range lens such as tamron 18-270mm won't be good. please correct me if i'm wrong. i will prefer 70-300mm VR

QUOTE(kathlynn @ Feb 18 2011, 12:49 PM) so the verdict will be 70-300mm vr instead of the 18-270mm tamron? since both more or less same price range. I have 1 vote for 70-300mm VR

QUOTE(lpyycy @ Feb 19 2011, 08:36 AM) dear all, do u ever experience problem of autofocus when you half press your shutter button? it is lik u are in the focus range, but when u autofocus, the motor in the camera just do not run and not hunting for focus. is this common or this is a serious problem? i am using D7000 btw. Also, found sometimes the camera abit slow when react to set. let say, i am switching from other mode to A, then when i turn the aperture setting ring, the camera wont react, until after i moving to another mode again, try to autofocus with some thg, or take a snap, then only the camera react to the aperture setting ring.. any one of u all meet this problem before? hmm.. I heard some batch of D7000 have autofocus problem. you try focus again on high contrast area, see will happen or not. what you mean by aperture settting ring? the dial on camera?

QUOTE(Everdying @ Feb 22 2011, 08:50 AM) 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  when the light falls... VR will be there to help real man

QUOTE(Everdying @ Feb 22 2011, 08:58 AM) wedding shots ppl want to see their faces la. not fancy low light scenery. low light scene creates the feel of wedding hall. many pro shoot pic like that, some just showing couple's back only haha QUOTE(celciuz @ Feb 22 2011, 09:04 AM) VR increases your hit rate especially when going slower shutter like 1/60s when zoomed out to 200mm. totally agree, extremely useful when you're using zoom lenses.

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Feb 25 2011, 01:50 PM) If your item is handled by Pos Laju or Pos Malaysia, they are not so strict. The ones from UPS, FedEx and DHL are the worst. They will just automatically send the bill to ask you to clear the tax on the item. If there is no value declared on the shipping slip, or the value (+ shipping charges) after conversion is less than RM 500, there should be no tax. Mine RM2k camera, handle by UPS, clear customs very fast, without tax. They printed out the tariff code as well; 8525.80.2000 You guys can check at http://tariff.customs.gov.my/ to get the tariff code. you don't have to pay tax for lenses even it's more than RM500. Many sifus bought >rm5k lenses, not a single cent tax. Usually taxable item if sent under GIFT and less than RM500 (+shipping charges), then you may be exempted. Depends on mood.
