    Advice on Lens: Indoor Low Light Sports

    Thank you Thoongeng, I think 200mm is probably at the edge of my budget...but will check out the special passes. Not sure if they give to amateur photographers. What about the 180mm f2.8 Nikon prime lens? Anyone has any experience with it?

    Advice on Lens: Indoor Low Light Sports

    Thanks Light Machinery for the advice. That means if I am not too concern about vignetting, there's actually not much difference between Nikon VRI and VRII? Ya, if it's 200mm F2...I probably can only afford to have it by rent.

    Advice on Lens: Indoor Low Light Sports

    Thanks, Swifty. On your question of how far away, I would say maximum would be if I am at the audience seat of a basket ball court, taking shots say 30 metres? I have the 85mm 1.4 lens, but find that it's a too wide for that purpose, which is why I am thinking of getting a telephoto lens. My...

    Advice on Lens: Indoor Low Light Sports

    Thanks, One eye jack, I'll research into Tamron more...given that the native brand one is almost double the price. =) Just one more question - given that Tamron would be slower in terms of AF than Nikon, do you think it's something that will affect a shot (e.g. in a basket ball game trying to...

    Advice on Lens: Indoor Low Light Sports

    I am hoping to take some indoor sports events, probably low lighting. E.g. Basketball match indoors with only nature lighting. Was reading up on the following tele-lenses, would be grateful if you could let me have your thoughts on each of these, at their respective widest aperture and maximum...

    Choose nikon D7000 or canon 7D

    Are more of your friends / relatives / collegues etc using Nikon or Canon? IF ALL ELSE EQUAL, suggest that you buy the brand that more people around you own, so that its easier for you to ask around if you encounter any questions on the usage of the camera. If still can't decide, then buy...

    D3100, 550D or SLT-A55

    Night Macro – Mosquito

    Wah! Nice!! How far were you from the mosquito - usually they are very sensitive and will fly off once someone gets near! (Then again, usually my first instinct will not be to shoot it with a camera and lens, but with Bygone!)

    Today is the 69th anniversary of the Fall of Singapore

    Unlike many countries where there are more sites and events to commemorate the World Wars, there are very few activities in Singapore to remind us of the hardships of war and the value of peace.

    Son's gambling addiction forces him to delay retirement

    Wait for D800 or buy D700 now

    The time before D7000 came out everyone's talking about it in all the forums around the globe. Eg, whether it's called D95 and what features are in it. I dont see the intensity for the D700 replacement (whatever it's going to be called) building up yet. Think it's gonna be a LONG LONG...
