yea im planning to put in the 70-200mm. So u suggest me to get like a back pack? Like flipside 400aw? The reason i wanna get slingshot is that it could provide me easier access to all my lenses that i want to use.

Easy access? Flipside offers easy access too. I'm using a Flipside 400AW.

Hi thanks for the info! May i know how can u access your dslr from the bag? because when i check the specification, they is only a zip at the back padding.

obviously for easy access u need a sling bag / waist pack.

flipside has a waist belt, then u can remove the shoulder straps and swing it around to ur front, and open the zip at the back.

like what he said ^
I've never tried a sling bag so don't know whether it's much easier if compared to flipside. Perhaps the flipside is 1 shoulder-strap-step extra? sweat.gif
I find the bag convenient because I can retrieve my camera with relative ease as I don't need to remove the whole bag. And when changing lens it's convenient too because the bag lies in front of me. Unless somehow the waist strap breaks la. laugh.gif
I only use this bag for hiking as it's quite bulky so you may not want to bring it out for casual outings.. nod.gif

Hey about the flipside 300 can it fits a 70-200 attached with body?
*
QUOTE(Everdying @ May 29 2011, 09:25 PM)
yup.
retro 20 also can, main reason why i have those bags.

If flipside 300 can fit, then that would be a better choice for you instead of the 400aw.
Looks better too imo. Get the red or blue if you can brows.gif

I took the 400aw for extra space and pockets

but one thing is that the waist padding of 400aw seems much better than the 300. Is it easy to turn around your waist when u decided to get something from the bag?
*
Yes for me.

aiya long story short, go to the shop and see see test yourself la tongue.gif
when you're happy, come back and look for good deals from lowyat tradezone. DEFINITELY cheaper than shops.
400AW retail for about RM600. Mine was RM450. I remember seeing before RM400. sweat.gif

Believe it or not, people with 400mm, 500mm and 600mm lenses switch off the VR on their lenses when they shoot.
Because they use tripod tongue.gif
also not forgetting the gimbal and fluid head.hehehe *poison*

2. Read about this, anything above 1/500s it decreases quality as the VR gyro resonates at 500hz which is equivalent to 1/500s.
Meaning if I'm shooting above 1/500 then it's better to switch off VR?

is there a way to remove OOF things?
for example, an OOF branch is in front of my bird.
