Yes, its my dream lens and I've been saving money for it. Cause I plan to get it on May. But got a fren in hk now and he got this price for me. Should i take it now ? Do u think nikon will announce a replacement for this on April? I mean what are the chances. Making me nervous now, should I get it now?

If Sagi's friend can't help let me know. I probably can buy it for u (BH got stock) and the price is around RM110. I'm coming back to malaysia on 1st or 2nd week of April and I'll be working in Melaka.

Lol dun bother with heng anymore la seems like damn difficult to get the plastic hood 

Desperate? Shashinki?

my hood metal hard2 wan break one

recommend me a bag thats not a toploader, ie. cam must lie horizontally, that can fit a body + grip + 80-200 / 70-200 with enough padding...and space for 1 smaller lens.
oh and needs to be easy access...so no backpacks...

Just bought this. Now waiting for my friend to come back from HK to pass to me.

why u laughing bro? and btw, as for me, i would go with the 16-35mm. surely going to be my next purchase. only not sure when its going to be. hopefully next month, or when i finally decide to sell of my 5D2 and straight jump all the way to nikon perhaps?

and i have to agree with bliz as he said this

although the 14-24 is superb  but to put on a filter is a hassle for me and the 16-35 is lighter and has got VR for handheld slower SS this all comes down to personal preferences really. and im not a pro like u guys who shoots models and weddings. this is just one of my fav past-times

I neither have the 16-35 nor the 17-35. I'm currently looking at the 14-24 though for UWA on the FX. From the examples I have seen, the newer 16-35 is sharper across the plane at the same apertures with better CA and flare control compared to the 17-35. The 17-35 is not stellar at wide open at f/2.8. Not to say that it's unusable but it's probably the same like my 20-35mm f/2.8. I see you have one. Why not shoot and post one up for us to check out?
Send me a PM. I'll consider.
Just curious. What is pulling you to Nikon? From what I see and hear, what the 5DMkII can resolve at 21Mp is very addictive. The people I know using it does not seem to want to move from Canon's offering.

How many lenses are sharp at f/1.4? 85G only?

Agree with you !

Because when you know that your D700/D3s was Made In Japan, you feel good for the bulk
of money that you have paid too.

guys,my uncle just came back from HK,he bought me a surprise give that is Canon 600D,now i am thinking to jump ship to canon and sell my D3100  or use both,I love the 600D better cause it can use all type of lens no need the af one like D3100  ,or 600D full time  ,D3100 part time

might plan to get a bag sooner...

btw...
if i plan to get a bag dat wish to have quick draw & to change lens easier...
ani bag to suggest me...?
