not malaysia set, is the individuls that sell at 340, it's from hongkong if i refer to the warranty card.

so it might be fake? even with hongkong nikon warranty card? only the shutter n el button work, both dailer didnt have any response, and the battery info either not showing in the menu..

Yays! My monopod arrived today. Meet the 680B.

Much more solid than I expected.

Rm4800 if im not wrong for AF-S 85mm f/1.4G

there is the old AF 85mm f/1.4D , cost Rm3300 if im not wrong

Hm, need some opinion from u guys. Which better ? ipad2 or asus transformer if my main purpose only to view pics preferably raws. And can i directly transfer the file over to either tablet from camera ?

cause i usually just shoot raws.

IIRC D300 and up only can meter a non cpu lens, tried my friend samyang 85mm F1.4 non AE version last time and there's no metering on my D90

I also deciding which lens to go with...  

Is the review of 80-200 or 70-200 good??

Nikon AF-S 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED VR Micro

Can get this below 3k?

1) The kid moves. She found me taking picture and stare at me, and when she's at between the flowers, i snapped right way.

2) 2nd image, the mother is moving away from me, maybe its my technique not so accomplish yet.

I'm pretty new to photography, i believe my hand kind of move, or maybe my technique not so accomplish, i find it hard sometimes to get sharp picture on the move, maybe because im used to the kit lens VR and now without VR its kind of hard to get crystal sharp image in those uncontrol environment.

Or maybe because 1st time going street to take picture, it could be either:

1) i focus in haste and hence i point at the wrong place.
2) im in Aperture mode, and put it f/1.8 the whole session. Then only i learned, in street, to tell the story, i cant always blur.

In a control environment, crystal clear, nothing to complaint.

I actually enjoy this lens better than the kit lens. hehe

Sifu please correct me and teach me.

RM380 from Foto Selangor

5. SB-900

Well that's all the stuff i have atm

VR1 not sharp at 200mm wide open? o_O...

I don't have much experience with 70200 VR, but was told performance is quite similar?

u got sample ?  
later i cheapskate and go buy 70-200 VR 1 no good 

80200 color looks horrible -.-... especially the CA :S

What shutter speed were u taking at?

Thanks for the photo with your gear. Gives a good reference for size. 
You tested on DX or FX body?

VR1 or VR2 version only affects FX body. On DX, they look the same.
VR1 performance is horrible wide open at 200mm. This is only on FX body.
Do you have the originals? Were both shot in RAW or JPG? Same exposure? VR switched on or off? On tripod?

From the first comparison pics, it does not seem that they were taken around the same time. The one taken with VR1 lens (left) has shadows while the one taken with the AF-D lens is overcast.
The one on the left exhibited some camera shake.  So therefore the one on the right (AF-D) is sharper.
