This great-looking spider can be easily recognized by the orange-coloured bristles on the palps.

Although this spider can grow very large, it is generally shy and will lie in wait in this unique position (see photo).

Nephila pilipes (juv) ♀, one of the largest orb weavers in the world. The female is many times larger than the males.

The webs of these spiders are so strong that they can even trap small birds and bats (which the spider doesn't mind eating too). Webs from this particular genus of spider were shown to be as tough as Kelvar!

Wanted to ask fellow nikon sifus here before I jump into nikon tongue.gif

Is there any good wide angle lens for nikon dx system that costs around rm1k (used or not)? Closest result from my own research is the 16-85mm. The kit lens is doing fine but I would like a more responsive AF lens.

And how's the 80-200 f2.8 Af-s like? it's quite an old lens so any common issues with it?

3 weeks is a looong time, but if your shooting jpg. should not be a problem for 8GB. but I would advice getting a extra memory cards. because they are dirt cheap. throw in one or two 16GBs and you should be good to go. Normally I would always buy 1 extra battery handy. But if your confident w/ the J1, why not.

I would say awareness would be your best tool against pick pockets. Id be more worried about wallets and passports tho...

Not really that long, but I guess kinda depends on the number of places you'll be going to smile.gif
I'm shooting jpg. (normal), mostly using shutter speed priority laugh.gif

QUOTE(jun_ng_1208 @ Apr 20 2015, 09:31 AM)
Totally agree with you bro smile.gif awareness is the most important aspect thumbup.gif

But I would recommend bringing and extra battery, because the J1's battery isn't really super heavy duty so bringing along an extra battery is definitely not a bad idea smile.gif

noted on the battery guys, will bring a spare to keep in handy.

Thanks Gerald & Jun thumbup.gif

travel photog depends on oneself, some ppl take thousands in a few days some take hundreds over weeks. totally depends on your shoot style, and if your primary reason is a photo trip or not.

I have friends who bring Hasselblad out with heavy tripods and all, spends few weeks in one location. I have friends who bring action cam and goes to as many places as possible and uses the action cam to take photos.

I think the main choosing factor here is the focal length rather than the autofocus speed hmm.gif
Personally I will go for the 18-105mm/ 18-140mm, longer focal range means you get to experience different types of shooting styles thumbup.gif Some more the weight increment is not much wub.gif

not too sure about the specs but from what i understand VR/ii is vibration reduction, it basically stablise your movement so can take sharper pics by reducing movements on certain axis.

Dont think there is any nikon wideangle that cost around 1k iirc. 16-85mm is a good lens apart from the variable aperture.

as for 80200 afs i've used my friend copy few times and seems solid. heavy as heck and build like a tank laugh.gif. the afs motor also smooth, no hunting like 80200 two touch that i've used before.

oh yea anyone here use tamron 2470 vc? currently using nikon 2470 thinking of upgrade (or is it upgrade) to tamron 2470 vc lol blush.gif

IMHO, kit lens are normally not super fast on AF but usable if you just picked up photography, as for the focal length, having 18-105 is always better than having 18-55 due to the extra reach you can get on the 105mm smile.gif

As for VR vs VR2, the only difference is just the VR2 is collapseable making it more compact than VR, the optics has no difference according to spec sheet icon_rolleyes.gif

Mirrorless's main benefits is their weight, but bear in mind that mirrorless's lenses are also quite limited (for Nikon) and they are more expensive as well sweat.gif

Hope that helps mate wink.gif
