I'm not sure about this, I mean the viewfinder holder. Anyone could help to clarify if the combo would able to fit on D7000 without vignetting?

Nope, I don't wear glasses. J-One is offering the same package of items at RM110? Maybe I could check it out there since ArmCorp Mall is much nearer to me

Street price for 70-200 VRII is RM6,950 as per my last update last month.

That should be my next aim

I find Sandisk Extreme HD 30Mbps Class 10 is already sufficient. I have 2 of them. If you're using Class 2 or Class 4, you'll feel lagging when viewing RAW files on the camera itself.

If I'm not mistaken, yeah... But that's the asking price, yet to bargain for it.

This thread is so quiet today ! Where are you guys ?

Today tak payah kerja ke?

Butter crab?

Guys, which flash trigger recommend to use with? Will need to fire two flashes altogether.

There is no One Ultimate All Rounder Lens as you may wished or wanted. Photography is very subjective, preference can be from many views, aspect, likeliness, habit, attitude, etc. What that fits one will not fit all. Some prefer sharpness, some prefer bokehliciousness, some prefer versatile reach, some prefer contrast, some prefer lightweight... and many more.

If your friend know not about Nikon Centre at Berjaya Times Square that has a library of lenses for testing, bring her there and help her to decide which suits best for her. What I mean by help, is explaining the differences between the lenses rather than telling her what to pick base on your judgement. Don't be surprise you'll learn something too in the process.

A friend of mine from HK looked for me last week (via chatting) stating that he's interested to get a DSLR. After almost a week of discussion and explanation, he bought Panasonic Lumix LX5 few days ago and he's damn happy with the purchase for not making the wrong decision. People tends to make wrong decision for insufficient understanding

Probably due to the flashgun's cycle time (or lag time). It happens when your flashgun couldn't cycle fast enough to match with your continuous shots therefore the reason some of it look different exposure due to lag of power or incorrect sync speed. It's common for all flashgun even the top class SB-900.

It's very subjective if you state that it'll hurt the neck if hanging for a period of time. If you do, try look for alternative strap than the original such as Crumpler's Industry Disgrace which provides more comfort pad around the neck.

I can hang the D7000 + BG + 17-55 on my neck for an entire day without complaining neck hurt. Well, in between I switch hanging in front or sideway

Try not jump into 'M' mode right away. Google and learn about the Exposure Triangle which consist of 3 elements namely Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. Then toggle between 'A' and 'S' mode to get more understanding about it. Only when you completely understands how each element effect each other, then you can start practising 'M' mode. Just my 2 cents.

Here a good one for beginner to understand the terms: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials.htm

Wow... Pocket Wizard's Flash Trigger so expensive... I'm still noob on this, anyone care to enlighten more about flash trigger?

Phottix's Pocket Wizard Compatible Trigger <-- what does this mean actually? Pocket Wizard is a product by its own?

Celcuiz, are you using any trigger?

Photography is not a still nor dead thingy.

Why beheaded the mother?

That's what I felt... honestly...

Well, that's just my perspective as I mentioned. Photography is very subjective, it never has everything right or wrong.

For me, pregnancy shots bring the feeling of "family" and "togetherness". Given it's me, I would prefer to put all of them in. Otherwise to make the highlight of father's feeling, I would only capture most the "stomach" part.

Again, that's just me. Perhaps your client like it that way

Same goes with me, "tighter crop". That's a better definition

Haha... same here, I recalled the same photo the moment I saw that too. Another one is the wedding gown hanging way high and taken from low angle.

Can you guys notice the "kind" of emitting highlight on the lady? How to create such highlight in PS?

By any chance, did you tried to shoot them from the same spot using both lenses and then compare the "angle" ?

Note: Best if the body sets on a tripod to ensure no position change during the test.

It seems like gears inspiring you than the final work?
