Oh? I was following the thread and I thought you were an alpha user. Hahaha... my wrong. But I guess it is the photos that count, not the camera we carry. Hey, can we gather some guys together in KK for a TT session to share/discuss photography? Or are you aware of such gatherings? Would really like to go to one of these. I just got back to photography this year, having left it a long, long time ago.

woa.. reallly LOOOOONNGGG... like L lens length.. like going to shoot bazooka out of d camera..haha. ei... soulfly. ur 70-210mm minolta= beercan ah?

How much u bought it? I wonder should i get d flash first, or d 50mm lens, or the zoom lens first...

My experience with flash (built in) is oftenly bad... so im not really sure how much good can a external flash brings to my photo. I do take quite a lot of interior potrait photos (with usualy low light condition) thats also one of the reason im planning to get the 50mm f1.7 lens. As for zoom lens... it can be useful for many condition... but mayb i'll leave it for the last ..to collect more money to have a 18-200mm lens (around this range) instead of 70mm onwards. 
Can i see some photos u took with d flash? I dont quite understand d complicated setting of the flash. 

just got back from the concert, MCR is REALLY GOOD LIVE, i'm still recovering  from the aftershocks! lol, will share some pics but only got limited coz we were only restricted to take pictures for the first 3 songs
