kitty lens no problem

because before i active in this, i was kept my camera in bag without silica gel for months...i think maybe years...
then my cheapo 70-300 got infected while my 18-70 kitty lens no problem at all

Not sure about DSLR, but my experience with bringing camera to cold places was back then bringing my Canon Powershot PnS camera to USA and it was -9 deg. So far, it can operate without any issues.

kitty enough ? Thinking to grab 11-16 together.
35mm surely will fly together.

I would take 11-16 if I can on a DX body. 18-105 still feels tight to me.

Hmm. Scare of weight when walk around only. 11-16 ain't light like kitty tho.

dude, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

My 16-35 will be arriving soon around 29th!! Just in time for new years eve )

get the 35mm f1.4 hehee
and pair it with your d700. damn cun wei

Have you gotten your Zeiss yet? Or did you end up with Nikon's?

Hi guys, I'm heading to Singapore for holidays this weekend. Anyone knows whether it's cheaper to get lens there? Looking to buy cheap second-hand ones.

eh, me arr?
or KTCY?

i am waiting for the next gen camera. see who 'win'
D800 looks promising with no AA filter.
let's see how canon response on this issue.

i get better pricing with canon so i am hoping they can give me a 'D800' also

edit: i have been using my friend's zeiss 100mm macro. it's wah lao eh

I brought my D7000 to snowing place two months ago. Although many said the battery drains faster, but I didn't feel it really drains that "much" like expected or I just feel it's normal.

In anyway, I was there like only about an hour or two. The top of the mountain is snowing while the bottom is not, lolz ~

Sounds like austrlia or is it new Zealand?? Haha d7k crazy la can snap 1k++ pics without inbuilt flash

Yeah, the D7000 battery can last 1K+ photos without using the flash. In anyway, I bought another spare just in case as I'm shooting actual day and event.

A theme will be revealed for each period of a year and invited participants will get to prepare their images through this program for an exhibition.

Besides, the group will be involved in other photography projects throughout the year, later follow by exhibitions and publications of their selected images. Participants will have to meet regularly, once a month at the Nikon Centre KL or assigned venues to present their works for critic and selection.

A good working knowledge of photography is required, participants are required to discuss, willing to work on their images, and open to criticism of their works, with only a limited number of participants will be selected for each project. A regular attendance is expected for participants in this program."

You are required to submit 10 photos for reviews I guess.

Added on December 14, 2011, 10:16 pmi shoot raw last time using digital. raw or jpeg does it bother ?

for me shooting raw is more secure, compromise the spacing a bit nvm wan lah.
if you can secure yourself why take the risk and challenge to shoot jpeg?
shooting good straight-out-of-camera image can boast nothing,
all you wanted to do is impress people.
