hahaha...everybody were gutted that he won (myself included), Ernie was the favorite, and what a smooth swing that he has, what a sight to see. thanks for the lens combo info, mine for wedding is quite similar w/ yours 14-24 (or 20 if i'm lazy to bring the big 14-24), 24-70,70-200, 85 1.4...

Thanks Jed for your input. And read your review, nice hands one review. Stunned that you covered the Open Championship at Troon (being a golfer myself), what a dream come true mate :-) Todd Hamilton won that one if I'm not mistaken. so,what's your lens setup for weddings? Cheers.

Thanks all for the reply. @Dream Merchant: appreciate the input, load management is key for me, and carrying heavy equipment at the end shouldnt be an issue for me today. Why I said today, because I've spoken w/ some senior photo journalists who both reminded me to watch out for my load...

Thanks DreamMerchant. Right now, for shooting concerts, I'm quite happy w/ the 70-200 VRII, w/ the D700 high ISO capabilities, during low lit concerts,I can shoot w/ high ISO and maintain acceptable sharpness. But after seeing results from 200mm f/2 at flickr and other nikon forums, I'm just...

Thanks Inday for the input, so the price is slightly cheaper at Lords vs Cathay. As far as the results go, I saw a lot of stunning images at flickr from this lens..

oops..you're right, it's USD 4,800.thanks

hmm...fishy indeed if the price is cheaper than B&H found this price from an online store based in Singapore, have you guys heard of it? http://www.d-d-electronics.com.sg/products/Nikon-AF%252dS-200mm-F2-VR-Autofocus-Lens-%252d-Refurbished.html Refurbished 200mm f/2 priced at SGD 4,800?

thanks Jeff & Vickee for the feedback. as for the price, just called Cathay at Peninsula, they quoted SGD 8,000 over the phone, which is very high compared to your info of SGD 6,500 at Lucky Plaza. Do you know which store? I called up Lords, they don't carry one at the moment. cheers.

Thanks BlurShadow for the input. need to factor in a good monopod into the equation + fitness monthly fee (as this lens is damn heavy) :-)

Hi all, appreciate feedback from those who have used,and currently owns this beast of a lens, the 200mm f/2: - your typical use for this lens (ie.wedding? models?birding?concerts? low lights?etc) - results (sharpness,DOF,bokeh,color,etc) - handling (handheld mostly? or using a monopod?) -->...

Crumpler 7mio, i used it for D90+battery grip w/ 24-70 attached, plus Tokina 11-16 & 80-200 (my weapons of choice for shooting concerts). The inside pocket is quite roomy. or check out thinktank urban disguise 35, or anything bigger than the 35 model should be perfect for a D90. both...

I vote for the 16mm fisheye, it's so daaaamn sharp, and fun to use :-)
