QUOTE(lgs @ Sep 29 2006, 05:36 PM) ac98 o.k ,bc for me 17-40 F4L is quite a limit range . welwitchia nolah -.-" its ok , but if u r new in DSLR ,u might give a look on Canon 50mm F1.8 ,economic and nice ,ard RM280wow this is far cheaper than the nikkor 50mm f/1.8 QUOTE(welwitchia @ Sep 29 2006, 10:38 PM) Wait, wait...a Canon lens that only cost RM280? Can i say that if the focal length is fixed and its a non-zoom lens, the lens u mentioned below is called a prime lens? If so, is it gonna be better than my kit lens? ;p it is good at the DOF |

Answering your Question here welwitchia ... Choosing your lenses can be entirely subjective especially if you have a budget or if you have your own reasons for doing so. I personally would want all my lenses to be L-lenses due to performance, build and quality issues and I would want nothing less. I will choose the Canon EF 17-40mm F4L primarily becoz it's an L-lens, it's weather sealed and its build quality. For RM400 difference I won't wanna argue! Oh another thing ... the 17-40mm comes with pouch and hood, 17-85mm tarak!  |

Ok sifus, I read that the 30D has a 100,000-cycle shutter. Does this measure how many pics the 30D can take before it "kongs" and needs servicing?

Absolutely correct, but I think it should kong off before 100,000  Documented shutter life is never accurate. The 300D kong-ed slightly after 11,000 when documentation said it can last about 20,000 (if I am not mistaken?). My friend's 1st batch D70 kong-ed after 2000+ |

Get ready after the 1st 10K ... and it's wear and tear ... I've not heard of a D70 owner replacing the shutter for free under warranty, yet.

my previous d50 had 30613 shutter counts... and counting
so for a 30d's 100,000 shutter count is still believable
