AF Hobby seems errr scary? The owner was friendly enough, but that place got CCTV and no 'chiew pai' one

somemore we should update the damn address - jalan bunga tanjung got many many version one... and pleaslah put that AF Hobby is upstairs between Avon and Guardian. I pusing pusing like crazy today

methinks most of you guys are not gay but pedophiles!!!! All the figurines here look underaged

Some Seed Gunplas don't have MG/HG etc etc designation? The ones that if i recall properly have a small figurine of the pilot as well? Am thinking of getting a Strike or a Freedom - the seed series ones and the mg ones got big difference?

get the 50mm. 50mm f/1.8 definitely more useful (and cheaper) than a 75-300 f/4-f/5.6 UNLESS if you kaya raya go buy 80-200 f/2.8

As for the seed gundams - i saw a series which if i'm not mistaken is 1/100. There's a whole bunch of them, but not written HG/MG etc on the box. Around RM99 methinks, how do they compare to say a MG Strike which is around RM178?

But at 300mm and coupled with the smallish aparture, you'll normally need a tripod or a monopod, which means surprise factor all gone.

Unless if you have hands of steel.

then don't waste money on 75-300 anymore... since you kaya raya go get one of them 400 f/2.8s

Nikkor L lenses sure no problems for kaya ray ppl mar
like you

from my experience at 400mm and f/2.8 the depth of field practically non existant - my old nikon f90's AF not really up to scratch, wouldn't focus properly

my photography sifu's on the other hand had no problems at all...

Dude, I'm old school.

The other camera body i was using was an FM2.

And when i was actively taking photos (back in my uni days) we were using film

cheap 50mm lens will normally have better optics than a 75-300. But most improtantly what is your other lens? I think Nikon used to have a 55mm f2.8 Macro, capable of 1:2, which should kcik arse when photographing gunpla

kit lens would be around 28-70 f3.5 to f4.5? The i would say skip the 50mm.
Btw, not all expensive lenses are good, and not all good lenses are expensive. If i recall correctly, Tamron used to have a 28-200 f3.5-f5.6 which earned rave reviews. Came in a Canon EOS mount as well. Perhaps they've released an updated version?

Added on July 21, 2008, 1:05 pmas for edan, how much did the 80-200 setyou back? a 50mm will indeed complement it nicely.

@ temp, skip the 50 f1.8. Go for this one

or get its older, bigger brother

Both capable of 1:1. Imagine a super duper close up of your gunpla!!!

The mother of all 50mm lenses

the nikkor 80-200 f2.8 is so cheap nowadays!!! Set me back nearly 5k back then. But it is definitely one of the best built lenses (and heaviest too) that i've ever owned...

tip: go buy a monopod a nice silky manfrotto one heheh

Hey, old school nikon film types rock. I challenge anyone to find me a more durable and silky smooth to use camera as the Nikon FM-2

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_FM2

1/4000 shutter speed with no batteries dude! Batteries were only used for the electronic metering, and should you run out of juice (which is practically never) you could go 1/60 f.3.5 which coupled with push/pull enabled film would serve you well in 90% of situations!

I hardly think that people sell Gundams at the RRP. Lik Tak themselves discount their gun pla what, and it is unethical if the sell to the public lower than they sell to their suppliers.
Also, methinks not everybody buys supplies from Lik Tak?
