You guys should be looking forward to the Total Eclipse of The Moon happening tonight then man. (at least it's happening tonight here in the US lah)

I can't see it from here in the US either. Cloud cover. SIgh,

I used to stay at the old phase as well. But have since moved to shah alam.
Hmm.. Model Photo shoot in 2 days eh?

The place is just beside Sogo. I know there's a LRT in front of Sogo but I don't know which is it.

Hey.. why up so early?? 5:30am on a SATurday!!

Dudes all, I'm about to get some new batteries. Both AA and AAA sized and after reading forums etc, I'm think I'll be getting the Sanyo Eneloop batteries

Amazon.com prices - 9.67 4pcs (AA) 14.99 4pcs (AAA)
I'll likely get 8 AA + 4 AAA, anyone want to tumpang the shipment? (++ service charge from me lah ++ Shipping (USA/Msia)) But should be guarantee lower priced than what you can find in LY / Shashinki.

Let me know ASAP as I need to place the order fast, so that it will reach me before I head back to M'sia. (up to 9 days shipping)

According to Amazon, it's listed at 22.99, but I don't think you will want that. I read that since it's bought from the US, it's only 110V capable, not 240V so you will also need to get a transformer/upconverter (actually it's something which I already have ~Rm30+ from Jln Pasar) and it's also a slow charger. ~7 hours++. Up to you.

How soon? Well, ASAP. But I plan to order it latest My Wednesday(Your Thursday). Should be Tax Free I believe. (My Canon Bag was also tax free from Amazon)

It's called MQN06, and if you look closely, it's not 2 AA and 2 AAA, it's dual lah.. meaning, either you fit in 4 AAA or 4AA or 2AA, 2AAA vice versa.
But this package is only offered as 110V one, which is the MQN05. You're out of luck.

BTW, I'm buying this using _my_ own money 1st, no upfront payment from you needed. So, would prefer not to buy it w/ the charger in case you don't want it and I end up with it. (besides, it's easier for me to re-sell it as well)

Wow. Valho, you really raking in a lot of moolah ah? What company you working for? I also want to join.

I spent more than that but most of this is from my allowance from being in the US. Now only left my 77mm UV/Polariser filter.

Some ppl advise no need to get a UV filter cos there's the hood already protecting the front end, and somemore-at 77mm, the filter is expensive lah

Brand / Price Please.

That's what one of my colleague here in US advise me. He said since you have a hood to attach to it, use it and it'll protect the front element!

If I get a cheap UV filter, then this will be not so good since my lens is already so $$. But spending another $$$ on the UV filter is like very $$$ mah. Poor man now man..

This is not a bad price for 77mm. I got mine for RM100 for 58mm, then again, this is the pro1 version.
Any idea on how much is a CPL at 77mm? (I don't think I will get a B+W version, so freaking $$$$ man..

Well, if these are for your 70-200 L f2.8 then I say that you _really_ are kiam siap because your lens already $$$$$ and you buy a $ filter only. According to "those" ppl, the thicker ones cause vignetting and what nots.



Didn't know you have a 10-20. Yeah. .That's what they say.

Hey, you fellas don't sleep ah? Or wake up very early only?

Just FYI : I have some eneloop batteries for sale. Will bring back from US a few packages. Details in this thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/640946. Comes with 8AA, 4AAA, 1 Charger(110-240V), 2C and 2D adapter - RM140

Yeah.. you are right. I'm not single man..

Hey, I think you also know how to smile lah. You're married right?

That's the truth mah.. It's called Service with a Smile. (even though forced one)
Never go shopping to become Walking ATM?

Just wanted to share some nic pics of San Francisco Skyline taken from Treasure Island at night using Tripod.

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!)

Hmm.. I just saw that lanun8 selling off his 55-250mm lens man. I wonder what he got it replaced with? 18-200 OS??

I'm still keeping mine.

wah.. 4 seconds seems like a very long time compared to the 580 ex II (i don't have other flashes to compare with anyhow except for a 20+ year old one)

So, in this case, cannot do burst shots is it? The 580 ex II can burst up to 20times man. The eye also blind man. (perhaps this is a good weapon to bring out to escape from robbers!? keke)

Added on March 6, 2008, 10:57 pmbut given the price, this may be a good buy as a secondary slave flash for those wireless strobist pictures. (went to a US so-called-strobist meetup and learn a bit from them)
