anyone going to the above?

worm!? oh mai... *insert a horror sci-fi file segment in brain*

but usually those zoom lens got chance can get sand/dust inside because it is zoomable...i mean got gap can allow... not like prime lens
well that's what i heard la, correct me if i m worng again 

but still cannot think how the worm can get inside... it is the parasite worm? 

i wonder how to discuss darkroom in this thread   

A: my darkroom is awesome, easy to use.
B: mine one more awesome than you!! got red colour one...
C: mine is most awesome, got a white lady behind me..

means they will edit their own,photographers just snap and pass in RAW formats?care to rectify everdying?

This qualifies to be one of the best posts here. I'd rather be listening to you alone (be it right or wrong, doesn't matter coz you have that right VALUES) than taking the most  accurate spot-on opinion from those arrogant self-proclaimed I-know-it-all professional photographers (and divine for not making any mistake) who love making fun on others especially newbies like me.

Please stick around and gather as much info as possible. We need more 'seniors' like you.

Yes, you can flip it but sometimes if you have too much in your bag it won't be as easy as you think it is.

Bag is quite ok, I carried D700 70200 85 1635 SB900 in a go. Still acceptable for me, much better if I carry with my Thinktank UD35.

Ops, paiseh. I mean much better than. As in compared to UD35, the Flipside is more comfortable (well backpack versus sling).

icic...
but d UD35 nid to buy extra harness or etc to make it as backpack or slingbag rite...?
btw...
can d UD35 do like d table style...?
i think i won't be having d 70-200 anitime soon...
might go for other 2 lens dat u hav...
so is it better to go for flipside 200 or 300...?

Black rapid.

I more than enjoy that. I am done yet you still do flaming. seriously.

18-70mm for RM 600. well the condition is 8/10.
I am happy with my purchase but I don't know what's wrong with him.
anyway reported.

I remembered "How to be paparazi" - DigitalRev

his quote "With d3s if somebody hit you, you hit them back" Lol.. 

Actually, it is easier to capture sharp images with low MP, because with higher MP you need better lens for it.

Take 18200 for example, it looks ok on D90/D300s 12MP sensor, but looks soft on D7000's 16MP sensor.

Since I am resting on my Sunday afternoon, I decided to take my family portrait 

That day bought a 2nd hand 17-55, after went home den notice y the image so soft compared to the 1 I test in BTS, den open the aperture blade look under the light, noticed there's somethin like moisture in the middle of the elements. After drop by PKNS den they said it's fungus..... swt!! Luckily the seller gave me 1 month personal warranty den I returned to him.....

Now searching for seller, haaaiz....

Wanna ask you guys, give same price, will u get a 1 year+ 17-55mm or a 1 month old 16-35 F4 VR? If not bcoz of value, I prefer the 17-55 personally, any advise?

nice...fish eye lens??

btw guys reading all those fungus infected lens got me worried,so planing to get a dry box myself an Aipo  brand.is this a good deal?cause this box doesnt use electricity,you all have any suggestions on dry box?what type of dry box u all using,mind to share?

yeah true bro .any suggestions of drybox u know.what type of drybox you using?

Your lens deserve better!! Bring along your camera n lens to DM on camera fair start from 1-3 april 2011 to get the free lens cleaning service!!

Well, if you keep your lens straight away in storage and not let the water vapour evaporate and dry up, chances of fungus is high.

It's usually ok if you your lenses fog when going from cold to warm places since straight away after that you would be using your lens and after 20 minutes or so, the fog disappears which is an indication that the water vapour has already dried up. I usually do not shoot straight away. Coming out of the hotel room, I leave it in my bag to slowly warm up to ambient temperature.
I believe the cleaning will only be external type. No opening of lens.

I must say it's a very cleaver baiting system. Once you are there, they will push accessories, filters etc to you.
