    help needed in buying lens in japan

    Just came back from Hokkaido. forget about airports. I don't think you can get the lense cheaper at any airports in Japan. In Sapporo, I went to the BIC Camera (also the one near Shinjuku train station), I did not see any 12-60mm lense there. The E420 + 25mm pancake deal in Singapore seems...

    50mm f.14 af-s?

    Fully agree. I used to use the old 105AFD macro and now I love the 105VR and never touch the old lense again.

    HK shopping : Nikon 70-200VR

    Man Shing and Wing Shing (the bigger shops) would not charge extra for use of credit cards (for any amount). Whereas smaller shop may charge the extra 2% (their prices may be more competetive).

    What profiles you use in noise ninja?

    I'm not too familiar with Canon but here is an extract from the mannual. "Note: Some cameras report different Model values in different regions of the world. In you are using an Asian version of the Canon Digital Rebel, for instance, you might need to edit the Model annotations in profiles...

    What profiles you use in noise ninja?

    When you download the profile of your camera from PictureCode, the profile should have settings for each ISO setting (true for my Nikon cameras but no experience in Canon profiles). Then you set NN to automatically use the profiles. The plugin will use the profile according to the ISO setting...

    High megapixel size and handshake

    Good examples. A "normal" practice may become a "bad" habit with advacement in technology. Therefore we have to be fair to ourselves that it is not the human being that is to be blamed all the time. Advacement in technologies "forces" us to adopt more "good" habits. We should avoid using...

    High megapixel size and handshake

    I do not totally agree with this statement. Handshake is caused by many factors. But when every other factors are the same, the higher mp camera can make the problem worse. It is pure physics and mathematics. Handshake blur is caused more by angular movement than linear (or lateral)...

    Ordering E1 from Cameta USA

    Then why don't you consider the E500. A dual lenses kit (cover ranges from 18mm to 150mm) is only selling at S$1600 new. The E500 has the flip up flash and it is 8m pixels. You don't have to wait and can shot immediately.

    I have both (80-200) and the 180 (a very old, 2 generation back) lenses. The 180mm is a very sharp lense.

    Wedding coffee table book - where to make them?

    Try to call Mike at Tsang Photography (www.tsangphotography.com). I've seen one he made for a small boy's birthday party (so same for wedding) using imported fine art paper (duo side). I must say it is very nice. It is not cheap though. I think it cost a few hundred dollars (depending if...

    Qimage for better and sharper print

    I have been using it for more than 2 years and love it. As Dennis said, it is mainly for printing and not to replace PS. It is very good for laying out a few photos within the same page (which PS is very cumbersome in doing it). It is also very good in "up scale" your photo to larger sizes...
