Need some advise from my Nikonian on my next purchase...

I have a budget of RM1,000.00 , which one should I get first...

1. Sb-700 flash

or

2. Carbon fiber travel tripod

I already have an old & big tripod without bag but since it is big & heavy, I never take it out of the house when I bring my camera bag out..

Any recommendation/suggestions for carbon fiber tripod around the price of RM1,000 ?? I found a few decent ones like Benro, Sirui or Fotopro...

My gears are D7000 + Tamron 17-50mm ...

i dunno about that, was fine for me hehe

get the flash. more useful.
doesnt matter if ur tripod is made of CF, ur not gonna lug the thing around where u go. but with flash, u can

of course flash is more essential compared to tripod.

Ahhh...brings back memories of how crappy MV Convention centre lighting is

Nowdays if faced with same situation i just never bother to bring out the camera out of the bag in the first place

Want to ask..Is normal for the 16-85 lens zoom creep?? Please answer my question...><cause when in 16mm is all right and when goes to 24mm and facing down the lens zoom creep...after than i pointing upside it sometimes will creep back or just stay normal.....Is normal for 16-85mm lens?

Shooting the Miss SIN 2012 at Singapore... and the flash was going crazy from the other photogs... so I got the 'off camera flash' kinda style instead LOL

Guys do you have any suggestion where to get cheap lighting?
Purpose is to shoot products inside light tent.

I am thinking to use 1 or 2 lights
Those table lamps which can fit E27 bulbs with 23w cool day light.
So far cheapest table lamp I could found is rm45 at ikea
Buying 3 would cost rm150 without light bulbs.

I was gonna buy a cheap table lamp from ikea few weeks ago, but the light bulb at ikea is expensive...

Heyo guys, just curious, has anyone of you heard of a certain "The Royal Rebel"?

So many people there, it's a challenge to shoot with a 50mm.

Is anyone facing the zoom creep with the Nikon 16-85 vr???

interesting that ur shots now dont have that artificial sharpening from your last body, D5000 was it?
maybe something was wrong with its sensor
