answered on the previous page man

Oh, sorry didnt see it, 480 for batt grip is kinda ok. But i heard can get 460. how is the lens?

not sure about RM460, coz another guy got it at lowyat also Rm480, but can do survey a bit for it.
the lens, nice and sharp, but quite heavy though hahha, you can see the test shots at my lyn gallery

I would like to share a tutorial with my fellow rebels

Read it here http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...60&p=15121544&#



I know some of the ppl in here know the technique liao hehe

Best extenders is, spend a little extra more to get yourself a true telelens.

lol i just found out bout this thread. 400D owner here as well! Sila beri tunjuk ajar!

welcome dude

460 for battery grip?? expensive! I got it for under 400.. If not mistaken.. RM399 with an extra battery

brand new or 2nd hand? And whats your location, In KL this is standard price.

It would be nice if you can share with us where did you get that.

FOTOMAT, KOTA KINABALU

Anyway Which will you guys choose if there is two choice of this Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS and Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG the canon seems tempting , both of them almost close to price?

i choose the Canon.

1. IS
2. the focal range is lesser than the Sigma but not a problem, at 300mm usually those turn out soft anyway
3. 55mm, has better close range.

btw the Sigma has macro mode i think. not sure about the Canon, so can consider that also.

then of course the Sigma is DG, change to full frame also can use. the thing is if you can afford full frame body, you probably won't be using it already anyway. the EF-S can't mount on full frame body.

i see, hmm btw what does DG means? mind to enlighten me?

I asked from Foto Edar previously, it was RM470.

BTW, I so very itchy and went ahead and gotten a new lens. (plus a couple of extras)

I'm a happy camper of the new Canon 55-250mm IS lens which I got for Rm850 From Pertama Complex, International Camera Center IIRC is the name. (sorry.. I made a typo and typed I'm not a happy camper when I meant I am!)

(Foto Selangor was willing to sell at RM840, but after I asked him for the price of a UV filter, I balked, he was asking for RM75 for Hoya UV)

End up I bought from the shop above which gave me better pricing on the filter. (and I ended up buying a better UV filter as well)

55-250 RM 850
Hoya +4 Close Up RM38
Hoya Pro1 UV Filter - RM100 (this may be a stupid decision though)

Being the 1st time playing with the IS feature, I'm already liking it a lot.

This lens has 7 aperture blades (circular) which is better than my 50mm f1.8 which has 5 aperture blades and is NON-rounded.
