hokc77: how about normal UV or HMC yah, any idea?
i dont need 1D, just for protection purposes.

SHOfrE3zE: yes mangga dua is much bigger than lowyat
but prices on lens, for sony i believe is more expensive
because ALPHA is considered new in Indonesia and high demand
prices for CANON is slighty cheaper than here

owh allrite. i'll check it out when i'll be there. thx mate. i've went to 1 of their popular electronics mall last time but i've forgot the name of it. but there's nothing interesting in it anyways.

Ehh, not sure wor. If not mistaken, around $60. Can't remember who gave me that price, coz survey too many shops already.

any one try Octopus HMC UV filter before?
cost RM50 for 62mm
very thin glass 5mm
is it worth getting?

why no one selling 82mm filter in subang de... Have to go all the way down kl again meh haih..

can always mail order also

UV filter is an one time investment to protect those expensive glass element.. recommended to get a good one if your lens are expensive

signither: I have Kenko 1.5x and 2x teleconverters. The Tamron Teleplus 1.4x and 2x ones have served me well. Optically you know lah you can't expect too much of them unless you have a really sharp lens to put it on.

The 1.4x and 2x teleconverters are the same price but 1.4x ones are much harder to find. Singapore has both of them by the loads, though - Cathay Photo in Peninsula Plaza has a big stack of them.

vamsufer: The Sony teleconverters are only compatible with the 135mm F2.8/T4.5 STF, 70-200mm F2.8G SSM, 70-400mm F4-5.6G SSM and 300mm F2.8G SSM. For all other lenses you must use third-party ones.

raist86, I'd have gotten the UV filter before, or on the same day. That said it's not that hard to find... in KL. International Camera at Pertama Complex, YL Camera at Pudu Plaza, Leos Trading at Ampang Park would have it.

Or you can look for Photomalaysia seller yannick, he brings in B+W filters in various sizes, with the flexibility to meet you in Subang, I think...

today got my giottos tripod....with ballhead.....12 kg load

wow..albnok is cathay's customer too?? o.0

ryzan76:

Teleconverters;
- multiply focal length
- multiply aperture number
- multiply maximum magnification 'faster'
- keep minimum focus distance as well as ability to focus on infinity
- have glass inside
- are more expensive


Extension tubes;
- change the minimum and maximum focus distance
- do not have glass inside
- do not increase magnification greatly

achew, nolah, I saw it last time I was down there. Tell us whether they have stock!

I got my colleague to buy the A900 Type-M focusing screen from them, since they had it in stock before we did.

In short, Teleconverters are meant to give you longer range. Extension tubes are meant for macro purpose

they hv equote on thier webby...u guys can try that...i always use it to get price/availability

RM 260 for B+W and RM 190 for hoya pro 1d uv.

what's the price?

it's essentially the HVL-F56AM.

I assume that u r talking about CPL filter?

1. 62mm B+W slim cpl cheapest I got is RM 215 (COD) or RM 220 (post laju).
2. Hoya Pro-1 D cheapest I got is RM 200.

both 42 and 56 can swivel..

only the f58 can be tilted for portrait shots.

what offer price did u get...???from the gn,5400s is higher than f42....
