The lens doesn't have a serial number on the front. That made me think it might be a copy.

Just purchased a Kobalux 21/2.8 which arrived today. I think I may have a copy instead of an original Kobalux. Hopefully some of the seniors here can give some opinion.

Omron is what we use in hospitals and GP clinics so i assume they are pretty decent.

Nothing wrong with wanting a better deal than the stated price. Just be polite about it and ask the seller whats their best price or bottom dollar. Cuz sometimes when i list stuff for sale i ll quote more than my best price in expectation that someone will ask for a discount. Its a...

If you wait patiently you can usually get a good deal on leica M bodies and lenses. Usually on Ebay or US based photo forums. I have bought and sold quite a couple of Leica bodies/lenses and probably net profit. However I sell mostly in Aust or get my brother/friend to sell them in Europe/US...

Cant watch the match cause I got to work tmr ... Damn !! Devils all the way ! Crush pool !

I do find that the ABCs here in Aussie-land are generally prettier than girls in Spore. N they do tend to be more lady-like/demure than the local gals I know. Maybe my experience is skewed by my previous ABC gfs lol. But yes i have to agree that the issue of moving from one country to...

I used to feel sorry for the S'porean guy. Many educated, well-mannered, decent looking Spore girls were just not interested in us. They wanted the fancy foreign man with his exotic looks, charming personality and fat wallet. Then I went overseas to study ................ Well lets just...

I dun think it matters what language/dialect Ris speaks. Its painfully obvious that she lacks basic public speaking skills and wit. She over-compensates by trying to be 'interesting' and trying to fake a god-only-knows accent. Her mannerism and poise needs to be polished as well. Frankly she...

I do not get the whole idea of upholding pro-sportsmen as shining beacons of light for the human race, especially for their behaviour and character. We have people like Mother Theresa for that. Some of the greatest sportsmen have less than perfect character and behaviour. Jordan, Schummi...

Wow ... amazing that he is still conscious and talking. I am surprised at the relatively small amount of blood loss. But I guess the force and friction of a heavy truck dragging his lower limbs could provide enough heat and pressure to cauterise his major arteries. No guts cause he was...

Ok 1. Glucosamine is not a wonder drug. It does not replace/repair your joint cartilage. It has only been shown to reduce PAIN associated with arthritis. It will also not slow down arthritis. 2. Glucosamine has no effect on Calcium in the body. Vitamin D does. 3. Apparently Glucosamine...
