Guys if you have about RM3k, would you get the 80-200 two touch? Mainly for outdoor and potraits hmm.gif

Sometimes for sports and racing cars smile.gif

If u can afford a bit more, try to find a Sigma 70-200 OS HSM(around 4k plus, got VR somemore)..I found that 80-200 colour is dull and not as sharp as the Sigma  laugh.gif

Really? Can't afford lor, max budget already sad.gif

Saw reviews saying it's nearly as sharp as the Nikkor 70-200 VR at 2.8. And it has the best body. You tried the two touch?

I've not seen how the new Sigma 70-200 performs but the 80-200mm f/2.8 two touch is a legend. It's a nice price if it's a good copy.

Then when your budget is more, you'd still be able to sell the two touch and get the same price you paid for.
I have the heavier 5 ED glass AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8 and I'm very satisfied with it. I'm told the pics are quite comparable to the two touch.

Anyway, speaking about the 80-200, I almost forgot that I had 2 sample photos used on the MIR website to show as samples...

I see, praying that my one will be a good copy hmm.gif

Yeah true, when I have the budget I'll definitely get the VRII biggrin.gif

Wow the pics on the website are very sharp, what aperture is the naked man pic? hmm.gif

I was one of the 2 touch user before, upgraded to VR2 after 3 weeks.... It won't match even the VR one in terms of image quality, u get what u paid for, however the Sigma 70-200 OS is pretty much better than the 80-200 in everything, trust me u need OS on heavy telephoto lens  shocking.gif

I see. I guess i'll try to use it for a while, getting a monopod to pair with the lens. Let's see how it goes. My friend is using a Canon 70-200 f2.8 without IS, he said he needed to get use to the lens first, then it's gonna be fine. Well hopefully it'll be fine for me too.

I really expect a lot from this lens, it's gonna arrive this thursday smile.gif

Bought used but very good condition. RM2.8k including Kenko filter(HMC or something) & the leather casing. Will receive it this thursday.

I see, will pair my SB900 with it. Hopefully flash will help. Will strobe while shooting potraits too smile.gif

If you want brand new, my usual shop has one.
PM me if you really keen for that.

I see, alright if I manage to sell the 50 1.4 for a good price, I'll PM you. How much roughly can I sell my 50mm with Kenko Pro1d?

And one more, do you think it's worth swapping the 50 for the 35? hmm.gif

I did the swap and I'm a happy owner.
Keep the Pro1D for your new 35/2
Sell lens itself for around 750-800 should be good.

Alright, thanks a lot for the reply bro! notworthy.gif
