how about the one is Pudu? Can compare in terms of variety of products?

i think the one in YL is just for service..they have 3 in total.. YL Camera Pro Shop, YL Accessories Pro Shop & YL Camera Services..the one in Jaya 33 are the camera pro and accessories pro shops where they sell products..the one in pudu is just for servicing..if you have time, it's quite nice to go take a look at jaya 33..

they have a huge variety of products, especially stuff that are difficult to find here like billingham & domke bags, samyang lenses, artisan & artisan, match technical, etc..previously I never considered going there coz a lot of people said that they are very lansi towards newcomers even if you spend a lot of money..I found that not true..but maybe its coz of the way I talked to them, coz normally I go in I always act like we long time friend ..keep insisting on discount and "scold" the fella ask him why so expensive give more discount la ..just go in and be nice to the shop assistants and you'll be treated well

hmm i went the one in pudu before, there's 2 different shops, one's on the 2nd floor for servicing and one's on the ground floor for selling products. saw some lenses and cameras on display (L lenses and 5D, quite many pro grade cameras), but didn't went in and ask a lot since I was rushing that time. PJ is just so far for me

it's better to go only if you want to buy something and you would prefer to test it out first for example a samyang lens or a strap..there a few sellers here in lyn you can cod with them and it's probably cheaper than YL but samyang x mount I think none of the lyn sellers have..coz I asked and a lot said don't have..then I googled the fisheye lens and added malaysia at the back and YL & Shashinki came up ..next day straight went there to buy haha..

sometimes I want to buy soemthing, online sellers offer cheaper price but can't test, shops offer higher price but can test. Of course i can get the best by testing at shop and buy from online seller, but that's not good since you go people's shops and test things for fun

it depends on what u want to buy la haha..if for example, u buy artisan and artisan strap..like mine i bought was RM350..i think on lyn is RM320 or 330..spend la that RM20/30 since they explain to u, show you different brands and models and let u take ur time to think and touch touch the strap haha..then if u want buy from online seller also need wait 2 days to receive item..then dunno is ori or not ..

like the samyang 8mm fisheye i bought rite, on their online shop they put 1150, I go there say aiya can la 1100 I give cash then they said aiya ok la ok la 1100 haha..then since outside already, can straight go and use the lens

if more expensive few 10 ringgits then I don't mind, but sometimes shops are selling like few hundreds more expensive than seller. sometimes reading reviews online just give you the impression of the lens/body, really need to try in real life to get the real feel of the item. i made mistake last time when buying my 550D because i didn't try the camera much then purchased straight now I am not happy with the grip, hopefully my next purchase I can try out what I want to buy.

like I said, it depends on the item & depends on the price difference..when I went to YL, I bought the samyang 8mm..then I noticed that they have the external flash also..so I ask about it, they brought out both EF20 and EF-X20..even they don't really understand why would someone buy the X20 (unless they buy BOTH and use the X20 as slave..) which is 2x more expensive..also the x20 is using AAA batteries compared the the ef20 using AA.. AA last longer than AAA so there's just no point in getting the x20 unless you're planning on using it as a slave..

when you go can test first hand the items & if they know what they are talking about, they explain properly to u..like I went to fotokem the other day the guy completely don't know what he talking about when he explaining to me about the OVF and EVF..I just went to molest the x100s only and nod my head

yea, some shops they just hire sales person for sales only, they don't even know what camera what brand what model, all they know is to sell you the most profitable ones.

as compared to xf 35 and xf 23, which one is sharper?

Honestly, I don't see a difference..I think both wide open are really sharp equally..but if I were to choose 1 I'd say the 23mm is sharper wide open..but stopped down for sure 23mm is a bit more sharper than the 35 (from what I can tell la )

my first spam...
just 23 f2... well x100s lens...

actually just a test shot of rf604 trigger with sb600..
just manage to sync at 1/250.. same as my old d700..
probably limit with the radio trigger...

anybody had used higher sync radio trigger with their x100/x100s ?

to take the 2nd photo with the samyang fisheye will poke her face .. what about the 14 f/2.8 or 18 f/2? not wide enough?

wah just saw the price of the 7-14. why sell it? under-utilised?
