if you have 2 bodies la. for me the 18-200 OS is something i can't live without  now.

see when we go bird park that time. so convenient. can snap anything i want any time without having to change lens.

this is a good point. but we didn't always go bird park one ma.
choosing this lens and 17-50 f2.8 is headache.
1 is very convenient, no need change lens, another one is constant fstop at f2.8, doing better in low light.

You cannot stuff in an EF-S lens onto FF camera.
yeah i know, but i mean the focal length. is it equivalent to an EF (no S) 17-50 on FF ?

btw, i found out there's actually 3rd party battery grip.

cool. i might be getting this.
but i think flash photography is hard.
i love natural lighting, but sometimes where natural lighting cannot be taken like a on a dark alley or some where dark. flash is really needed.

My 580 EX II, is virtually silent. Cannot hear the charging up sound at all. Also, it's supposed to be able to strobe up to 20 times continuously after the charge. (I tried, it works!)

Never play an external flash before. Getting this one will lets me learn how to control the flash and soon when I really master it, then I'll upgrade to a Canon Speedlite. =)

Bought for RM570 which included the Nissin Di622 itself, 4 AA 2500mAh batteries, and a Lambency Diffuser.
What do you think?

By the way, it's a pretty good flash, does slave, poweful and the only thing that concern is the refreshing time.

Hey guys. I'm in Hong Kong right now. Currently have my Kit Lens and 50mm f1.8 with me.

Damn, I went to Avenue of Stars just now, it's pretty dark there and I have difficulty of taking photos of my family. =( I didn't bring my flash gun, forgotten. So hard to take some nice personal photos there. Built in flash, too strong and turn up the background of Hong Kong Island becomes dark.

If I mount 50mm, then need to stand very far and still not fast enough, the place is seriously dark. and 50mm can only do 1 person but not many person and then can't take in the landscape because of it on a crop sensor body.

I can take pictures of people, but when I let my dad takes pictures of me, you know la. haiz. haha.
