LOL feel sorry for you brah, fingers crossed your lens is as tough as my cousins one lah

But in any case, you can still find Cheah camera repair if got problems @ Mutiara Complex.

Knew his son for quite a while but never thought his dad was one of the most famous sifu for camera repair in KL area.

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?

Happy Labour Day!! Today stay at home whack keyboard all day for assignments

Sapu sapu sapu

4 ft drop, that's over a meter already, the shock is the culprit here.

Normal hanging won't suddenly rip out the mount, even with a bazooka lens on it. But there is the potential for distortion of the mount of course.

Finally got my D7K today!! Awsome upgrade from a D5100, still getting used to the weight after an hour of shooting the thing plus battery grip

Funny thing I noticed is that shutter sounds noisier than the earlier batches used by my friends and also in showrooms, wondering if it's a temporary or permanent thing?

Anyways sharing another photo

LOL of course got la

I'm just nitpicking only really, because already used to the sound after molesting other people's D7K for so many months

Tried already, completely different world compared to DX bodies
Then again for a RM20K+ body of course la sound nice.

Yeah but my hands are small I guess, still adjusting to the different grip

This fella came over to check out the new camera

It's a Tamron 60mm F/2 macro lens, sui leh~

Nibble nibble~

Woohoo!! Found myself an adult jumping spider in the garden!

LOL I also using Wonderful brand, bought from Digi Color. Has an automatic dehumidifier inside, but takes trial and error to find out the proper setting since it's an analog unit.

Btw sent my V1 to Nikon BTS today because of lens error

Saw the D7100 there, oh man the grip freaking nice to hold compared to my D7000.

Reminds me of the ergonomics of my D5100, but much more solid of course

For me as long as the dry box can work can already la, my dry box cost me 350, if not wrong equivalent one from Aipo would be around 500+, in the end still doing the same thing, what for?

The d7100 in photos looks almost the same as the D7000, but there's a big difference in the ergonomics, the grip especially

The D7000 has a straight and box like grip while the D7100 one is very slightly curved and also has an indent for your middle finger too.

Also noticed AE/AF lock button is easier to reach, good for AF-On users. Bigger LCD screen, but most reviews did not mention that the metering screen on the top is also sightly wider already.

Oh, and I like the individual covers for the ports, can open halfway just exposing the ones you need instead of opening an entire door on the D7000.

Shutter sound very familiar, but has an "electronic" ring to it for some reason, not sure if I described it right.

Feel of the buttons are abit of a downgrade though, feels softer to press. Some like it, I don't.



All in all subtle differences la, but these small things will affect you if you use your camera alot.

Purely comparing the prices from One Stop, it's 2459 vs 3799 body only, 3299 vs 4599 for Kit, so yeah, somewhat in that range la.

I guess for me it's just something i have to get used to for now, although to be honest the D7100 felt right at home in my hands the instant I held it.

Sad la, because if I had disposable income, can definitely consider it one.

Which is too bad since I need a wide-angle more than better ergonomics

It's proof of the improving ergonomics of their enthusiast cameras, maybe my next upgrade in a couple years would be a D400 if Nikon ever decides to release one

Aiya, ergonomics are important la, allows you to shoot longer what.
I have to handhold the camera for long periods of time when I shoot macro, so it's definitely a plus point for me when a camera fits like a glove

I have the 11-16 which I'm borrowing from my cousin atm, but no chance to fully utilize it yet, since I'm stuck at home with assignments

Mine's a cabinet, not a box LOL.

Getting a wide angle lens for environmental portraits??

Like this??

It's the perspective I'm after dude.

Granted, this was taken with a 17-50 @ 17mm, still not wide enough as I wanted more of the scene in the photo.

LOL awsome lighting, that back spotlight is a flash right?

For my shot I wanted to include as much of the background while still keeping my subjects as large as possible in the photo.

Which is why I used a wide focal length of 17mm, and I'll gladly go wider since there's so much more going on behind that I couldn't capture

Fuhh, the quality..... Dunno how many more years I need to achieve something like this



If i take 2 steps back, yes I'll get more of the background, but my subjects become smaller right?
