The 17-55 f/2.8. What if I fill the warranty card and then no provide receipt?

I'm trying to get a long range remote shuttle release for my d7000. No one seems to be selling them. The Nikon remote has only up to 2m range.

e.g. basic Vello FreeWave Plus, or advanced Aputure Gigtube DSLR Wireless Viewfinder II Model GWII-N2.

Anyone get a hold of something similar and know where to get it?

just say u got it as present. so dont have the receipt lor

honestly speaking, when i claimed for warranty, they never ask me for the receipt. but... maybe they like me.. LOL

So, do you fill the warranty card on the spot or you jot it in earlier?

if dont want to be suspicious, fill it earlier la...

Wokay, thanks for the heads up and I shall give this a try

try jer la.. anyway, u still dont have the receipt right.. haha...

Interesting link for reading there. Thanks.

You can try but don't be surprised if Nikon also ask for receipt since the reason for the receipt is to determine when you actually bought your lens seeing that the 17-55mm f/2.8 has already existed in Nikon's lens lineup for quite a while.

What lens did you try and claim warranty?

17-55 is existed long ago, but it is still selling...

not like an ais manual lens, that is stop producing anymore...

so they should warrant the claim unquestionable =)

i claimed lots of lenses and flash.. but i do get rejected when wanna servicing my ais lens.. huhu.. reason? the lens is not producing anymore and lenses only got 10 years lifetime after it is produced

the warranty card also from few yrs ago looks different from nowadays.

wow...i think i cannot observe this already, only got 300mm and no solar filter or nd filter

Hey, just need a quick opinion. I'm looking forward to the D600 or if that doesn't come out, a D700. The problem now is with my lens setup. I'm looking at my lens options right now and this is what I have.

Wide options are as follows :
16-35/4
17-35/2.8

Mid-zoom
24-70/2.8
28-70/2.8

Tele will be 70-200mm. The dilemma is that based on my shooting habits on DX, I use a lot of 17mm and 50mm, very little of the 35mm. To save you doing the maths, I use a lot of 25mm, and 70mm on FF. I wind up wishing I could go a little wider though. So, do I forget the mid range zoom, get a fast wide and a fast normal prime (50/1.8G), or just get the midrange zoom? I only have enough budget to cover the mid-range zoom (excluding tele, I'm replacing an older 80-200), so I can only have one, not both.

Also, I read that the distortion on the 16-35/4 is ridiculous, any user opinions?

24-70mm
for u

16-35 is UWA

for the price of a 24-70, you can get a 28 1.8G, 50mm 1.8G and 85mm 1.8G, and still have rm1k left in hand

lazy carry three lens then buy all rounder lens then.

But those lens will give u better image quality

then this one i duno, never test/research image quality on these lenses
but then 24-70 is quite old right? 2007 lens right?

But if I wanna go wider I cannot with the 24-70mm.... =/ Idk I'm confused as hell. Also I got DX cameras, won't be selling them.

Oh don't tempt me. I want a set of that too for lightweight travel, but shooting events sometimes can't give the luxury of swapping lenses


Concert and event that time when low light (or for products etc when I need sharpness) I GG That's why 2.8 zooms. Ya 24-70 is an 07 lens, but the mid-zoom I notice gets replaced every 9 years or so?

i duno, i GG all the time...no $$ change newer body haha

never try different body shoot same thing see how big the difference image is....

Haha, try a newer DX body, the difference in hi-ISO IQ and dynamic range in general would poison you kaw kaw.
