Hahaha...I am asking so I can save money for the next 6 months or a year...
Not getting it so soon yet...

not under warranty anymore.. so, not worth it to send service? the service cost almost the same / higher than buying new lens?

Hi sifus, I have a 600D (with SC of approx. 27500), at what price would be a good price to sell it away? I'd say the condition's still good with no fungus or dust inside.

Now i need to get a telephoto zoom lens with limited budget

Canon 70-200 F4 IS USM
Tamron 70-200 F2.8 VC USD
Sigma 70-200 F2.8 OS HSM

3 of them around the same price range for a 2nd hand lens. Which is the prefer lens?

The poison is crazy.

No place is crime free so when walking down streets especially crowded places always take care of your camera.  There are stories of thieves bumping into you.  And when you look at your camera your lens is gone!  Hard to chase the thieves in the crowded streets when you lose sight of them.  Many L lenses have been stolen in China like this.  L lenses are targeted as easy to identify its an expensive lens with that red ring and sold for good money 2nd hand.

But with such slow speed F 4.5 -5.6

Can shoot bird?

When u shoot an extreme good photography moments and realize your ISO set at 1600

your face will be like this

What basic some more???
Composition? Exposure?WB?

Things that I Dont know where to start
Flash, composition

Don't know why u guys keep bashing me?
Did I said something wrong?

my minimum aperture for food photo is f/4, will always go f/5.6 or higher. If I have my flash around and enough area to bounce light or commercial setup, it's f/8 to f/11.

for commercial work - as mentioned, I use PRIME lenses to maintain consistency for FOV.

I use zoom lens for my makan makan shots because I can go wide for the restaurant and zoom to 50mm - 85mm range for food, zoom in and out according to space available.

y u no attend my talk on food photography!?!?!

Here's an article I wrote in 2010 - http://www.goldfries.com/photography/food-...sic-equipments/ the images are far from what I am producing these days in terms of quality but the general article and its contents remains.

I'm not really laughing at him la, more like just amused at how someone can be so obsessed with gear technicalities like me back then.

Difference was I kena shoot kaw kaw everytime i brought up stuff like this or act like I know more about gear than everyone in front of my boss.

We all have to learn one way or another   

I like the black-and-white version better. And IMHO, if you can isolate the sweeping(?) man, it might be better still.

So their rudeness is leading to push and sell a 50mm F1.4 for RM 500-600?  That's cheaper than 2nd hand.  Use their rudeness and stupidity against them.  For a good condition Canon 50mm F1.4 for RM 500 is a crazy bargain.  I'd buy it even if I didn't want it.  Can resell straight to another shop for profit. 

Next time I go there and shake the 5d mark 3.  And hope they say "wah cannot sell anymore you must buy for RM 3000!"
