I see cheapest price online between USD350 - USD400 which is still way cheaper than local. But no local warranty lah.. not like barcelona.

But I'm for sure getting one for myself already lah..

Me again

Anyway updated fcbarcelona-my's gears. Enjoy ya new 580ex ya, fuiyor, that day say wait budget enough first, mana tau today start away get ad

580ex! congrats mann. long way to go for me to own one.

wahh nice catch there barce, so many ppl getting flash already, haii I need to save up for one also

Aw.... then no need la.... heheh.. thanks anyway...

No Prob.. BTW, just want to ask opinion, you guys not willing to pay for these sort of 'grey" sets w/o local warranty even if it's a few hundred cheaper than what you can get locally?

you people like no where else to spend $$$ oh, so nice. after each outing everyone into buying spree. admire la.

2008 wishlist. till lot of month to go. now thinking shoot indoor. concert perhaps?

I just got my bonus and I'm contemplating on getting either a battery grip or a cheap cheap secondhand 430EX/ third party flash. Or should I save some more and get a nice telephoto like a EF 70-210mm f4.

Headache lah.

Get 70-200mm f4 first, then only get a Flash and battery grip.

The pictures snapped 70-200mm f4 L gonna drive you crazy and you'll feel more numb when you spend on flash and a grip later on

For me.. i think i wont be willing to pay for these so called "grey" sets if it's a few hundred cheaper... unless there're personal warranty from shops... then i'll be willling.. here you are talking about a thousand bucks... if few hundred still ok ok...

What if you come back malaysia, and it spoils in less than a few month? what are you gonna do with it? Look at it everyday and hope it'll return to it's original condition? haha...

anyway.. it's just my opinion.. no offence. =)

viking letting out his poisons again...

@ lynette : it depends on your shooting style =)

Dont wanna talk so much, viking's poison too strong... =P

LOL, I can't afford the L yet! I'm talking the old old EF 70-210mm f4. The same one fcbarcelona-my is having. I can afford something not over 1k la.

what to do , we got this sickness : kena poison

I'm also one of the victim

still looking for BG E3

you might want to try the 55-250 IS... i tried it and is quite impressed with the lens. for less than RM 800 you should try it out.

that's the problem la. you guys no anti-biotics.

for me i go out, no poison already. cos you know your $$$ and shooting style. it's always better to decide what to get next based on your photography style, not what others have.

55 250 IS should be better then Siggy 70-300mm F4-5.6 Is right

I'm more into portrait/people pictures. I don't do so much of landscaping and etc. That's why I thought the battery grip would be useful- plus it makes the cam look even more professional! HEHEHE

I like fcbarcelona-my's EF 70-210mm f4 picture quality. The way I see it, the lens is not too expensive and reasonably good. I'm probably poised by the people pictures he took. Awesome wei.

Once she's poisoned by 70-200mm f4 L, there's no turning back

mm, RM1k+- budget, you have a few choices here.
1. Cheap tele + macro lens to be used temporarily - Siggy 70-300mm f4-5.6 Macro
2. Good replacement for your kittylens, good in shooting potraits in dark places - Tammy 17-50mm f2.8
3. Or start with a Canon 430EX to explore the wonders of having speedlite?

The choice is yours.
