Quite useful if you're into the technical aspects of a certain lens la. But their reviews are really technical, not much comment on the real world use of the lens. For real world uses of lenses, blogs can help but can tend to create confusion due to the subjective nature of the review. I usually read more than a few review websites+blogs for the lens i'm interested in, then weigh the pros and cons against my shooting style. Most important is to keep in mind the quirks of the lens you're looking for and see whether these quirks will affect you or not. (AF speed, weird lens design, build quality, whatever you find that interests you in particular) oo okay =D thx for the info ! hmm there's one http://slrgear.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/1480 eh? okay ah? slrgear, not the slrpreview, wrong website just now @@ This post has been edited by BlizzardCraft: Apr 30 2013, 02:47 AM

Then you can be 80% sure the lens suits you, next "20%" step which is to go "test drive" the lens with the help of a shop or a friend QUOTE(KTCY @ Apr 30 2013, 07:18 AM) Source please. source please Most of the places can get about 2150 -2200. Why bother with Japan set when can have unlimited unfilled warranty card That just RM 400 different Really? 2150-2200 is for the V2 Tokina right?? Mind sharing which shop please?? Btw unfilled warranty card doesn't work on its own sometimes, I got asked for purchase receipt when I sent in a lens to futuromic last time. Good thing I had the receipt with me just in case.

Besides, 11mm and 12mm is very noticeable when compared side by side, even more so with sigma's 10mm starting point, cheaper too. one of the most expensive DX lens till date... the craziest one is 17-55 QUOTE(gunzerdude @ Apr 29 2013, 10:53 PM) Really? That's bad then The V1 is really simplistic compared to the V2, no mode dial, no built in flash, no command dial (has a lever for aperture/SS but meh, I like dials ). Looking for the SB-N5, but at the price i was quoted, its HALF of the price of the V1 leh, too bad no third party alternatives Here's a shot I took today using the V1, PP and cropped in lightroom. my wife use V1 to shoot milkyway... lol V1 + 10/2.8 distortion corrected using LR profile. photo downloaded off FB and reposted*
