Anyone done a comparison between the GX200 and the GRDII? How does the image quality compare? Thanks! :D

Very nice and sharp! :thumbsup: What lens did you use with your S5pro?

With regards to the looks of the new lenses, it seems that the plastic look is here to stay. The thicker zoom and focus rings make these "Gold Ring" lenses look like entry level plastic lenses. They sure don't make them like they used to! :thumbsd:

Agree. No doubt that the 70-200 is a better lens coz of its sharpenss and VR. But from a performance/price point of view, the 80-200 can more than justify it's worth. Money saved can go into buying other glass!! ;)

Canon just released 40D and 1DsmkIII. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: WAKE UP NIKON!!! :confused:

Wah.. you have done such comprehensive tests. Totally agree with them. This is a great lens!! Very versatile. :thumbsup: ;) I have one to let go if anyone is interested. Had to think hard about letting it go, but I need the space in my dry cabi and the funds for new toys. Heh...

Erm.. I dun see any big bikes.. ;p

Wow.. very nice pics! :thumbsup: You seem to have all the ranges covered? What lens(es) did you take up with you? ;)

How? It's 4 pm and still no news? :confused:

Where will the announcement be? On www.nikon.co.jp website? :)

I set mine manually in tricky lighting. I use a D80 by the way. Ow.. and purple lighting sux. Took some pics at an event where the ballroom lighting was purple. Turned out like the colours in the movie Cocktail. Horrible! ;(

Big grip for big glass. But otherwise, I prefer to travel light. :)

No probs. Do check that you get a sharp copy though. Wouldn't want that to spoil the experience. Happy Hunting!! ;)

I have both the 24-85f2.8-4.0 and the 18-135f3.5-5.6. I got the 18-135f3.5-5.6 as part of the kit so I'll talk about that first. - Super sharp at the centre. Equal or similar to pro lenses. - Great colours in good light. - Excellent range at the wide and the long end. - Small aperture so...
