lgs,
which shop giv better after sales service ? isit FOTOKEM a gd shop ?

about lens? now i realise the importance of wide 17mm with f2.8 (great low light lens and super wide can fit alot things inside....muahahha.....lucky neve waste money buy fixed lens....

anyway fotodata is a better shop...from my experience...try the ss2 one, look for carmen the boss

Hello! Where have you been lah?
A 50mm lens is most ideal for potraiture, low light indoor photography where focal length is a lil' bit of a problem but dun have a budget for more expensive lenses. I call that lens a 'beginner's DOF practice lens'. Go get one and play with it for awhile by all means, it's fun

quite busy lar so u got time to come out for 'yam cha' session??
noob question potraiture pic means what?? why is the focal length is a problem while i experience it with my fren nikon using 50mm f1.4 the low light cond result is good...
what is DOF beginner practice lens?? do u know how much would this lense cost??
thanx in advance

50mm f1.8 is fast if lighting is ok ,when lighting is dark ,with USM focusing is nicer I would say, the only reason I buy Canon 50mm F1.8 ,because its RM290 only and got F1.8 , maybe u should consider 50mm F1.4 USM or 85mm F1.8 USM if got extra budget

EF 28mm f1.8 USM = RM1800
EF 28mm f2.8 = RM800
EF 35mm f2 = RM990
EF 50mm f1.4 USM = RM1350
EF 50mm f1.8 = RM290
EF 85mm f1.8 USM = RM1350

or u prefer L lens ??

EF 35mm f1.4L USM = RM4600
EF 50mm f1.2L USM = RM4990
EF 85mm F1.2L II USM = RM7500

above price is a rough based price only .

look for something called the clone tool (or was it healing brush?) and plaster other parts of your photo background all over him!

Use the clone stamp tool.

actualy..... i did wait and recompose (in most of my shots)

just this one so happen to be in a "spot" of the pics, and i didnt notice it during review ( due to short time)

anyway i used healing spot brush......replace him with a pokok

yew chien lau spotted

thx bro for your info

ngi yew chien tit, mai liong lap lense

this morning, i thought that i should get a filter for my 50mm since there's dust at the front element.. while cleaning it, there's still dust but i noticed it's inside the lens. now i'm having 2nd thought whether to get the filter or not..

err... can i ask all Lowyatt canon "sifu"

1. can i send my canon camera (out of warranty) to KLCC retail shop for maintenace service and dust cleaning?(i heard they send it to the subang headquarter for service , is it true?)?

2. will they overchange u since my camera is out of warranty?

FYI, i bought one 2nd hand Canon EOS 300D from garage sales forum.

thanks.

1.
tell them u wnt Canon receipt loh ,wht maintenance u wnt ? better specific or else simply charge .

2.
Canon M'sia charges is standard which I think all is a bit exp

i just got the camera. as i don't know how well the camera. i mean i don't know the condition before. shall i have all the functionality check and i see dot on the viewfinder which probably dust on the image sensor.

how expensive is it?

how long does it take before i can take back?

1. Canon Malaysia service centre is in Subang, go there directly.
2. No they won't. They'll just charge you the cleaning that's all. Go directly to Canon Malaysia for your service.

Added on February 14, 2007, 10:19 pmIf dust settled on the sensor, a cleaning won't cost you more than Rm200. Alternatively, ask for a quote via SMS OR give them a minimum charge i.e Less than Rm200 go ahead with the cleaning.
