hehe. so convenient man with battery grip.

tell you la, i went to snap fashion show with my 70-300 and no battery grip that time. crap man. so many runway rounds, try holding the camera up high, vertically and snap a few thousand shots, focusing, refocusing, snap and so on so forth. in the end my index finger hurts, have to use middle finger to click trigger.

edited : btw with battery grip, it's easier to snap vertical (portrait angle) shots with alignment closer to perfect 90 degree.

Maybe that's personal preference? But I'm using kitlens only, i find it really useful, especially taking pics vertically. During events with alot of Photog, you'll minimize blocking others with the grip, instead of raising ur hand so high up. LOL

I would rather choose to have a better grip for myself rather than fearing that you gonna block other's view.

yeah lor. tiring leh, like my experience i posted earlier. your arm and elbow have to go up, showing ketiak.

oh let's not forget that battery grip allows you to have 2 batteries which lengthens the operational time. you could even use AA batteries if you want.

again, whoever said it's only useful with big lens needs his knowledge checked.

personal preference? i doubt it, if personal preference then it would be "i only use battery grip because i find........" but to say only useful with big lens then something wrong already.

Added on January 27, 2008, 12:46 amhaha, more like others blocking your angle to open ketiak.

Yeah
But i'm just saying shooting with the battery grip vertically will also minimize blocking others behind.
Hands also not so tired with batt grip

Thanks for the info guys

time to get , Rm 480 i got quote from PG

ahh so happy i got mine for only RM 350. 2nd hand but un-used.

hmm , should i look around even more? i have rm 300 in hands still rm 180 to go

how much for this 2 item har?
Nissin Speedlite Di622 ,Lambency Diffuser

That's good price man!
The person bought n didn't want it?

I got mine brand new with a piece off battery for RM450.

Need to ask you about ur sigma 18-200 OS, heard that all rounded lens might cause picture distortion? have u experience that? and during what situation ?

morph, what kind of distortion?

all taken with 18-200 OS.

Err i'm not sure, that's why I'm asking.
But my friend told me it's long focal length.

Now I'm considering Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS , Tamron AF 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 Di II , any suggestions?

@viking

Other than the ST-E2 wireless transmitter, you can also opt for the pocket wizard. Which can simultaneously trigger all your flash as long as you buy multiple receivers

(Aiyah.. Accidentally closed the browser when replying!! Lost all the quotes)

Anyway.. Rm450 + battery = good deal, most ppl here got it for Rm470-480 w/o battery. I got it for RM440 w/o battery in S'pore

next month when I come back from US(still unconfirmed going) will get a 580EX II and thinking of buying extra to bring back and sell to you guys. I'll have to see how much $$ I have on hand to pay for it 1st lah..

Shereen: Lambency flash diffuser.flash seems like a good knockoff to get. Shashinki selling for RM89. Ebay.my selling it for Rm119 (crazy ah?) It looks very nice esp the canon pic w/ diffuser on right? How well does it work on reflective surface like on the back LCD of the camera?

Or AUD9 from Ebay.com (you know I'm getting poisoned already..!!)

USD15 from Ebay.com (2 type of clour cap)Ebay.com

Dude all. Is it my holding style or something but after a photo session, the arms very tired lah. (and in pain) due to holding the camera esp on the shoulders. Seems like I'm in tension during the photo session. Is this normal? Perhaps I'm not holding the camera properly?

AAARGRGGGGhhhh... poison!!! Some more going US!! Lagi teruk poison...

wahh..580ex II?

I'm got mine rm340. from user in penang.

wjie20.. what i mean is... if i get BG E3, i will make my self stick to 350D, wont upgrade to 40D lor, coz already spent 400+ for the BG E3. coz now i still dun have BGE3 mah... If im buying 40D, so no point getting BGE3 for my 350D.. =)

Morning guy,

Can anyone let me know what is the price for the BG-E3?

I need to buy 1 before February.

Because my sister wedding dinner on the early week of March.

Yesterday, I got a function on my supplier company annual dinner.

So i be the camera men.

Holy shit battery not enough.

Luckly i bought a spare battery on last Friday.

If no habis lah me. Dunno how to collect money from my supplier.

The Sigma 24-70mm working very well.

Never buy the wrong lens. But u dun compare with the canon 24-70 L-series one lah.

The picture is very good and fast lens. Recommended.

yours is the f2.8 right? That would be good in an indoor environment.

You don't read other posts eh? If you notice, just two posts above yours it the stated prices and there's also a pinned thread on the prices ppl paid and where they got it from.

PS : Show some pics lah.. BEST if got leng lui in the pics.

shy lah.

got Wedding? can us LYN members join and shoot boh? hahaha.... that will be our 1st outing for march!
