Would like to join but i have a wedding to cover tht day... sigh

duno whether I can join

D80 kit lens and SB800
no TELE

no need to scare la, i oso kit lens...

shukri: 1 J Card per transaction only, abit hard, we are expecting like 20

goldfries: most probably we'll end at 2pm after the birdshow. Bird park is kinda small

Aiyah.. How come bird again ah? The zoo outing see not enough of flamingo and stork and other birds ah?

Anyway, I think Count me in as well.

Driving From Kampung Melayu Subang Area. Let me know if anyone wants to car pool or I can do pick up from some LRT area etc.

My route will likely be through Kota Damansara->NKVE->Jalan Duta->Bird Park

or

1 Utama -> Jalan Damansara -> Bird Park


But to be very frank, it's still TBC since the time is like next week.

I think this time I bring my kitlens as well.

BTW, is the dude/dudette with the new canon 55-250mm IS coming? Seriously want to test it out lah..

@myjunk (kampung melayu subang area?? do u pass by sunway pyramid?)

This post has been edited by hsienming: Jan 11 2008, 10:20 PM

Dude.. No man.. that's like out of my route already. My preferred route is NKVE. Fast. but can go Jalan Damansara as alternative.

Interested to join but possible by morning only. Noon wise i need to go elsewhere.......

The event is very tempting but I'm still puzzled on the map and wonder if my "antidote" can last long enough.

count me in please...

maybe will bring my girlfriend together...

[Confirm] , [Motorcycle], [Shah Alam]

This is so tempting! I so wanna go but i cant... Well Post pictures people. Thats all i can do for this trip, Looking at them...

but then again, seriously though. if theres someone with a tammy 17-50 or siggy 18-50 going. i wanna come along, really want to test out both of them. im still lacking a lens to cover that range cause after i made the transition from full frame (film cams) to aps sized, dont really like the range on my 50mm. =(

everyone kena poison by viking since zoo outing

donno if 80-200mm f2.8 push pull suitable for the gathering...its quite cheap compared to 70-200mm one... still waiting for my delayed 3 months salary...

aiii.... the poison is killing me

you guys really kena poisoned from the last outing.

First outing - everybody whip out their 350D/ 400D with kitlens + 50mm
This coming outing - everybody gonna whip out their tele lens

Guess this round we'll see C70-200mm f4 L, 55-200mm IS, and a few other good telelens

guess i am the only one that got a macro lens instead

Rich dude spotted

Remember to tapao some nice macro shots for us

theoretically my 70-300 is a macro lens too.

Sorry guys,
I can't join ------> Confirm. Got work to do...
Luckily, I can escape from all "poison". Hehheee + =
Hopefully can see nice picture fron u all.....

TBC, TBC, from Prima Damansara

Interested to go, but if I go without any camera, then it will be disasterous as I'm currently selling off my T100 for DSLR...

juz manage finishing reading ur rule of 3rd..
hope i can implement it during the outing...

jiaren,u are staying at cheras ah?? which part?? near where?? i also staying at cheras,if my school no replacement then i go and maybe i tumpang ur car....can??
thanks but not sure yet...

macro is my next target ... Hunt it...


viking , you are the murderer , all bought the new gear because of you ... better treat us some meal

or if you're a cheap ass B/tard like myself you can do this!

haha

same again this time.. TBC and if go need tumpang.. from Kajang

macro reverse lens..
but i think butterfly park is more suitable for macro shooting rite? so after this KL butterfly park?

then i use my 50mm lor ?

hahah try try then

Confirm coming, but going to be late la,, coz flight from ktrg to kl, arrive around 9.30 am take teksi directly to bird park...

need to pinjam forumer car bonet, to simpan all my bag..

will be bringing sigma 18-200 dcos "need to show to goldfries about the krek sound" and tamron 90mm macro.

This post has been edited by rogerwee: Jan 15 2008, 08:14 AM

hehe..and ur BG-E3.

which one faster?

1) take a cab from klia to bird park

2) take klia express to kl central then take a cab to bird park?

shouldn't it be which one cheaper?? wah.. fly down from ktrg just for this gathering...

option 2 cheaper i think but more troublesome

no la got meeting in KL on 21-22 jan in KL,

great to have you joining us. Want to molest ur sigma and tamron

taking Option 1 is fastest

ok..

fuiyor, someone bringing Tammy 90mm f2..8 Macro
Valho you might wanna molest his Tammy.

haha yeah of course, want to molest myjunk 55-250 and weileong 70-200 f4 L as well

only S5IS can join ar?

Where you hid your 30D?

Yeah man.. in other thread I remember you have lots of good lenses and don't want to sell too?

Hahaha.... Just kidding...
So how many of you are going?

How much is the Tammy? I was checking out 50mm yesterday and the salesman recommended me the Tammy 90mm macro and told me it's around RM1300?

I where got lots of good lenses wor?

The 135L is the lense I am interested and the lense I want to buy... which I yet to own la...

rm1350, firstly want to buy speedlite 580 ex but change my mind lol, bought the tammy instead...

I think I will get a 580ex ii next month when I go to US. (hopefully approved)
USD 330 w/o shipping from B&H

boleh kirim ka??

I've got no prob with that.
But of course got T&C lah.. In case the thing spoilt. Then How?

I will likely just put it into my luggage and not hand carry.

Then I mark up a bit can ah? I earn maybe Rm50 - Rm100? for the service?
You tell me how much you willing to pay extra lah. I'm not picky at all and I'm not doing this as business anyway.
