Try lowepro passport sling if u plan to bring 1 dslr body with len + 1 more lens

Recently just get 1 , now I just shoot with 60d + 1755mm f2.8 + 580exII flash, my ultra wide and 85mm primes sleep almost 2 month in drybox, might sell it off since didnt really use it

For travel, I will choose travel as light as possible, only u got energy to shot, if bring too much gear to travel, end up u get less photo because u are tired of carry the whole thing , hope this help

Youtube have alot of mirror cleaning video, all video also asking to wear glove and use only rocket blower to blow, look like u didnt follow the instruction haha, I did my without any problem, but my dust stil can be see after I clean it, I suspect its from the inside viewfinder, so I just leave it and HAVE to get used it

I use lens pen only for couple of year, so far so good hehe

Why will it scratch? Im using the original lens pen hehe , so far so good, remember blow away the dust on the surface first b4 use the lens pen, and remember lens pen is use to remove oil not remove dust ^^

Canon doest have 35mm f1.8(u know canon user admirer nikon user to have cheap price 35mm f1.8? How we wish hard canon will build a cheap price of 35mm f1.8) , only 35mm f1.4 L , 35mm f2 and 35mm f2 IS , all this 3 lens is damn sharp even with wide open, and canon lenses all have build in motor , so it can be auto focus in every of canon dslr model even on 1000d unlike nikon entry level which doesnt have a motor in body.

Nikon have their own top grade lenses and canon do have too, it's depend which lenses u going to purchase, both have their pros and cons

For the camera body, if superior focus system is ur main point and high fps, get the 5dmark3, 1dx , 7d pair with the superior 70-200mm f2.8 mark2 and 24-70 f2.8 mark2

If landscape is ur main point, the d800 is just awesome pairing with the nikon nanocoat ultra wide angle to fully utilize the 36mp, dynami range is awesome too on nikon

So its come down to personal preference, get what u need but not what u want

Nowaday consumer isnt stupid anymore, advertisment not really help unlike old day, there is so much internet SOS CILI, i would say that canon dslr is actually more user friendly , nikon menu is abit complicated haha.


About the nex's series, I personally dont like the nex too besides the nex7, the low end sony nex series is hard to change iso, aperture, ss , need always go thru menu to change it, and finally my fren sold all his lenses, adaptor to fund the fujifilm x-m1 , and he is far more happy and never miss the nex

Heard that sony is release the new nex5 right? Not sure the layout and button got improve or not, I found that fujifilm x series and Panasonic Lumia gx7 done a good job, u can stil have Dslr feel after u jumpship to either 1, a camera must have dual dail , else u will face problem when come to A , S or M mode.

I think u mean the canon ef 28mm f1.8 USM izit? This lens is expensive and soft wide open, stop down to f2.8 isnt that good too.

Normally canon user go 50mm f1.8 is because it is the most cheap and sharp lens, there is canon 35mm f2 with noisy focus motor, the bokeh is sux, and the price is arouns rm1k++ while nikon 35mm f1.8 is with silent motor, better bokeh at rm600+ only

So for a beginner or hobbyist, to get canon 35mm u got 3 choice

35mm f1.4 L which is rm4k+
35mm f2 need rm1k+ with stupid noisy focus motor + harsh bokeh , but the optics is as good as L
35mm f2 IS which need nearly rm2k too

So it already can conclude that there is no good value for canon 35mm version, we really wish canon can come out the 35mm f1.8 at around rm600++ too

U also can see why nikon user normally will have 35mm f1.8 with them because nikon 50mm f1.8 new version is expensive , but its more better build with better bokeh. The nikon old 50mm f1.8 is expensive than the canon version as while and the performance is not better or maybe just on pair with the cheapo canon 50mm f1.8

That why I say its depend on which lens u purchase, there is pros and cons for each other, just get which is within ur budget and which lens u need

Good answer , it's depend which focal length u like most , in crop i like 50mm most , because it can compress background and focus on ur subject , so when come to FF , 85mmm would be my choice , unlike u really love ur 35mm on CROP body , so 50mm is ur choice


if let me to choose , i will get a 35mm + 85mm for FF body

taken with what body? So that is ur virgin high iso shot?

Aiyoo , using D600 stil scare to bump iso? U check out my flickr how many of my photo is taken at 5000 with canon 60D

D600 even at iso 8000 with a little noise reduction stil look good le , it can't be call as "not too bad" , it's definitely very good le

sometime don too pixel pipe , if ur picture is good , noise is nothing

Macro sifu

Can the 35mm f1.8 dx lens used on fx?

Can get rm2k if someone buy together with 6d kit, but problem will be without box

With box , resales value higher rm100 haha

got box , white box only , with ori box will look more yeng ma haha

Fuji body + 14mm + 35mm is the best combo for travel, or 18mm + 35mm,

X-e2 already able to do continues track with 3fps, not sure how is the peformance but i heard review say quick decent
