older than 10 yrs.. wow

LOL nope, they upgraded to the front row already, same floor.

At least make sure its a futuromic set, that way repairs can be cheaper.
Those pipu at futuromic tried to charge me RM350 for realigning a decentered element inside my grey set tamron 17-50

Cheah did the realignment AND cleaning for RM280 bucks instead, still high price because he had to send it in personally to tamron but better I pay him than the sharks at times square

+6012 667 9756

Yup, his old lens and camera collection is huge, got lots of experience already. Also got fix recent lenses of course.

Last time I see him tear down a canon 70-200 L to change the AF circuit or something. So many parts, give me I die seriously.

About the lens being Malaysia set or not, better to call them to ask instead?

i think it was amduser.. ask him hw much he got it.. i think he said 2100 or 2000.. definately not 2200..

night spam!

that blardy head.. !@#$%^&*

Anyone tried this? Honestly damn good juice.

hmm...i go ask see =)

but got ask no ask same lah, i alr bought ! hope directly from japan one will got moar POWAH !!

oh okay, any lens or things also can find him repair rite? rather than go nikon? clean sensor semua.

yea amduser, i pm-ed him before 2 days past, he got it for 2200

wah ! mask it off add in floweerrrrhhh!!!

why you regret of what you get? if you are so worry about the lens then you shouldn't be getting it just because other people said it is good or the price is cheap

all this worry should come before you get the lens, since now you already got the lens why not just utilize it and capture some great pictures before it is out of service?

to make you nervous, even the best Nikon holy trinity will have problem, they are metal build but when they drop they have 50/50 chance to failed, regardless whether it is a RM2k lens or RM6.5k the chance of failure is there

2100

yea got point ! okay sifu =D if no drop leh?

btw ur lens u buy malaysia warranty? wanna intro to friend.

2100 is rite..

1. not sure about the cost of replacing the shutter mechanism.. if im not mistaken around rm400-500

2. There's two things that could happen

(A) The shutter will still be fine and can go on beyond the 150k limit but you must check if it is slowing down, meaning that the shutter will still continue to snap but at a slower/same speed no matter what the shutter speed is. Example : The exposure at 1/1000s is the same as the exposure at 1/4000s. If your images turn out to be the same brightness regardless of the shutter speed, it means that you shutter works but at an unknown/slower speed (test when all other settings are the same)

(B) If say the limit is 150k, you can still use it till it breaks down and you can go change it when it does. But for working photographers I/we would know better to change it if it nears the expected shutter life, because I cannot take the risk of it suddenly failing on a job.

MILKY WAY
