how much you paid??
How much was shipping?

Err.. No sound leh..

You can check the prices of the filters in the pinned thread.
But I don't think you will want the hassle of having to open/put back the UV filter. So, perhaps you can't save on the UV filter but yes on the ND and the CPL.

I want to Pinjam ND!  (when you buy lah.. wanna test!)

iinm, myjunk bought his unit for 98x USD?

Can anyone advise where is the best place locally to get a 24-105L? I asked a few shops in Lowyat/Bkt Bintang and it ranges from 4.3k -4.7k. I thought should be able to get below 3.7k? Or is that Grey set?

In my view the 24-70 isn't flexible enough when coupled with a crop body, i mooted buying one when using my 350D, but getting around 40mm at wide wasn't really doing it for me. The 24-105L doesn't have the extra 2 stops, but it makes up with 2 stop IS and better versatility, but since i'm on FF and my AF is buggy i figured i'd be better served with MF, i sold it.

Although if you're into razor sharp DOF and light portrait, i feel the 24-70 is very justified and versatile too. Not a candidate for night shooting in my view as IS would serve better than the 2 extra stops from the glass. USM well, it's nice, but the nicest part is the full time manual focus that allows you to adjust after an AF lock, i consider this to be one of the best features of the L series

As for filters, you probably won't save much as you'd want one filter to stay on the lense to protect it in my opinion

hi dazzle, what's is the site you purchase your lens from? coz i'm looking for the 10-22 with intl warranty too.

thanks!

I hereby report that the 50mm 1.2L has Godlike sharpness when stepped down to 2.0 or 2.8, but bokeh and detail on the Zeiss are more pleasing.

Aussies wanna charge me 250 AUD to calibrate my EOS5D and 300 to totally allign the AF of my 70-200 2.8L IS, i regret not buying grey set, atleast grey set with International warranty can generally repair under warranty here, stupid Malaysian warranty can't be used.

Also i wish to warp factor f*** Canon's QC, which is in my view, pure shiate. How the hell can a 4 month old body with a 6 month old lense and a 1 week old lense, all being L grade have focus issues?! And the stupid focusing screen distance isn't even set correctly from the Pentaprism.

The reason i bought a proper EOS5D with a Malaysian warranty instead of a grey set is because i expected better service by getting it via the offical channels, i don't see why my EOS5D becomes any less of a Canon product and liability when its geographical location changes.

Haih, if i didn't have so many L-classes i would have jumped ship to 35mm film Cosina or rangefinders like the Ikon and the Leicas. No doubt digital is easier, but with the QC Canon is putting in these days and the shitty tolerances in manufacturing, i doubt any of it's advantages will save it now.

Nearly all of my shots are done MF now due to the crappy AF.

Although my dislike for Canon is growing, i would still consider the buggy EOS 1Ds Mark III provided i can get a job here, due simply to it's AF adjusting ability, build tolerance and tone highlight. But that's still about 24 effin K. Although if i work at the local Subway or Noodlebox for the next 7 months i probably could afford it even with my student hours.

Yesh yesh still a student, but pay here is quite good at 20 AUD an hour, and assuming my maximum is 20 hours a week, i probably can afford a 1Ds Mark III in a 6 months if the price doesn't go down.

The 5D was sell sponsored off profits from various investments, writing and electronics jobs, which makes it even more disappointing since it took be a good 5 months to get that cash. But really lah, the 5D's AF problems are really vexing, especially for a camera of this price.

Wooooooooooooo. I've been trying to get a bird in flight for 2 days. I tried it with my 55-250 IS lens yesterday n it was a total failure. All blur coz the focus is just too slow. 

I brought out my 70-200 today n finally got the shot I wanted.     

One thing i'm dissapointed about canon is the noise control.. always get sticks from nikonians esp teh D300..

Here's something i took yesterday. Just got a 70-200 f4. Im very impressed with the speed it offers. Before this, i bought the 70-200 f2.8L.. had it for one day.. sold it off, cause the weight really turns me off..

Guys, does anyone of you have this problem.. seems like whenever i upload my pic to flickr.. the colours are automatically adjusted.. to a more greyish mood.
