Anyway is it Wise to get Canon BG E3 Grip for my 350D , i heard from some fella's they say only usefull if u use large lens ,  cry.gif  so should i get it or not,
I find it nicer to shoot horizontaly
*
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 tongue.gif
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

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?

http://www.goldfries.com/inperson/mygaller...klbirdpark&n=83

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?

(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

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...
*
My BG-E3 was special case wan, that's why can get RM450. The RM450 later proceed to TOA student's graduation fund.

Lambency should be selling no more than RM80. I got mine for RM70 only, same goes to Shereen.
Check out Shutterasia's trader, they offer pretty good deal.

@viking : Regd the trancend 4Gb 133x CF card I got for Rm160. I tested burst mode Raw+L and I can take up to 11 shots in succession using it. Same speed as I can get using my Kingston 50x CF card. So there you have it.. No speed difference AT ALL using whatever X CF when in the camera. Only makes a difference when you copy it to the Laptop/PC.

That one wait a while loh.. Save a lot man.. 133x 4GB = RM160, 266x 2Gb = RM160
*
Is RM160 the current market price for 4GB 133x CF card?
Previously someone posted RM199 for Scandisk 4GB Ultra II.

Where you got them? currently I need 1-2 pieces of CF cards >.<"
I've repeated this many times. lol !!

Btw, Ultra II's = ???x

*

okay.. my re-con from LYN that day searching for new CF card. I've posted this a few posts back..

4B 133X CF = Rm160 (Trancend) last one from Sri Computer.
NO one else has the 4GB 133x. Also majority never sell CF (some even say have to do special order)

Normal price Kingston, if got stock (I search everywhere literally!!!)

4Gb 133x = Rm149
4Gb 50x = Rm222
8GB 133x = RM340 (+ or - a few ringgit)
16Gb 133x = Rm662 ( "            " )

Kingston brand prices..

4GB 266x = 260
4GB sandisk Ultra II (dunno what speed is ultra II) = RM229 from fotokem/fotoshangrila (see the pinned thread)

Never considered Sandisk ultras cos their prices also ULTRA!!
*
4GB 50x is more expensive than 4GB 133x ?

Currently there is one guy selling Adata 8GB 80x for RM180 only shocking.gif
RM287 for 16GB shocking.gif shakehead.gif

But dunno stocks dari mana punya tongue.gif

Hopefully I can find a buyer to sell off my current kittylens and fund for the Tammy 17-50 f2.8. That really sounds like a better option considering my current love for portraits.

However trying out the tele might just open a whole new horizon for me to explore...

Speedlite... later la. tongue.gif

Thanks for the input. smile.gif

Same here tongue.gif

See if anybody wants to buy a new EOS? ask them to buy body will do, then sell our kitty cheap cheap to them.
I wonder what's the price that we can sell our 18-55mm?

I'll need one Tamron 17-50 f2.8 also, take quite alot of indoor events/low light events.
