I've watched many of their videos before but get the impression that most of the videos is just listing the specs out, comparing the "feel" of the camera/lens, and so on. In the end their videos are there for the LOL factor, nice to watch if you like hearing an asian guy with a British accent aha , the sigma bokeh better than nikon, but will over expose lah.. haha nice lo watch his video, release stress laugh laugh btw DXO is a good website for lens reviews rite?

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

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? 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. QUOTE(f5calvin @ Apr 30 2013, 08:52 PM) i think it was amduser.. ask him hw much he got it.. i think he said 2100 or 2000.. definately not 2200.. yea amduser, i pm-ed him before 2 days past, he got it for 2200 QUOTE(teetaatee @ Apr 30 2013, 11:04 PM) that blardy head.. !@#$%^&* wah ! mask it off add in floweerrrrhhh!!!

The metal lens mount Teardwon from the D600 and the stick on the back of 24-70.. We brought it back to nikon malaysia service center today and they said the cost of repair it back to fully functioning might cost another D600... (at the end he buy another new D600, and will leave this in his dry box for the rest of his life..) Guys, do not hold your D600 with 1 hand when a heavy lens attached. The Metal lens mount is stick on that piece of plastic (D700 and D800 are on metal body) wah sad RIP just the front part rip off only need repair so expensive meh? ><

ChiakChiak Senior Member 1,562 posts Joined: May 2012	QUOTE(Calvin Seak @ May 3 2013, 11:04 AM) Oh kk.. Hmmm let me try to explain! Now switch your camera to AF-C mode and choose 3D tracking later on... There should be only 1 square in your view finder.. that is where you want to point it to your subject.. Hold the shutter button on the desired subject.. move it to the left/right, to your desired composition.. whats going to happen is that your you will hear your lens AF moving, it is re calculating the distance between the subject and the sensor! Or you could do this test.. Point ur AF square to your siblings or parents.. ask them to walk infront of you the AF will definitely change to a shorter distance.. but ofcourse this feature will be great with lens with fast AF such as 24-70 or 70-200 vr2 etc!:D hope it helps! thx !! tried it not bad.. but still the focus, hold AF lock button, recompose technique better rite? QUOTE(Calvin Seak @ May 3 2013, 03:30 PM) Hohoho! I'm trying to make my friend to join the dark side Her decision will be tomorrow xD Nikonian? >:D I'm making few of mine too ! QUOTE(seather @ May 3 2013, 03:36 PM) different things for different purpose rite hope the Yen exchange rate stays steady after 5/5 off to Japan next Saturday.. hope to get some good deals.. 70-200 vr2 about RM6400... mb-d12 grip about RM1000 There Nikon good deal... cheap around rm500+ de some even rm800+ which part u heading to ?? QUOTE(Agito666 @ May 3 2013, 03:37 PM) to make friends join the dark side very easy for you just simply take your D800/D4 with lens and throw at her normally how u intro people bout nikon? sometime people ask i also begang only, say image sharper, ( colour of green and blue got better? ) , ISO control better? @@ Ultimately i say i like the yellow logo !
