Thanks guys for your input. Really appreciate it. although still undecided, i suppose the best way is to try it out for myself. maxtheevil, you mention something about renting, where can i rent lens? Thanks.

Hi, I'm using S3 Pro and intends to get a prime len but can't decide whether to get AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G or AF 50mm f/1.8G. Mainly i'll be using it for portrait shot and occasional landscape. Mostly for landscape i'll be using AF 14mm f/2.8. Need advice from experienced photographer on...

Thanks again bro. Just read the review for SB-900 seems quite a good flash too. it has been compared to SB-800 which a friend of mine has and he swears by it. At least now I have a list of flash to consider and evaluate. Have to act fast though.. my friends wedding coming up in sept and i'm the...

Thanks bro! Btw any idea how much is the SB-80DX going for? Can't find it in the price list thread you've mentioned.:cool:

:bigeyes: looks like $800 budget is too small then... I'm asking for feedback. It doesn't have to be a nikon flash. as long as it works with s3 pro with full functionality even a 3rd party flash will do fine. just thought i expand my choices for evaluation. Thanks for your suggestion...

HI, My sigma flash recently konk....since it has lasted for 2yrs+ i guess it is time to get a new. I'm thinking of the Nikon SB-80DX and from the thread that i've seen in this forum, it seems quite a good flash. However, I'm wondering, beside the sb-80dx is there any other speedlight...

was informed that can hire a porter but since the porter will not follow to the summit, there really is no point. Anyway, based on what was mentioned here, i've a pretty good idea what to carry and what not to. As for the macro lens, what is the price like for the tamron 90mm now?

BTW, i'm also looking to get a new macro lens. any recommendation? my budget is not very big though... looking for something less than 500 if possible or else max 800. perhaps one that works well with DSLR. Thanks.

Thanks skopio. think i have an idea of what is needed now. thanks again for all the advice and suggestion.:cool:

Thanks guys for your valuable advice. one more thing, this may not be the right forum to be asking this but since experience also is key in what i'm about to asked. i was told that half way up Mt K, most ppl almost certainly will experience altitude sickness. has anyone who have been there ever...

Hi, I'll be making a trip to Mt K in Sabah in april. I need some advice on taking photographs at Mt K. what i've gathered so far is that i was advice to travel as light as possible and try not to take heavy tripod unless necessary. this is because Mt K is quite steep and the extra weight will...

Thanks guys for the input! Now i have a better idea.Cheers! :cool:

Thanks kezumix. will look at HOYA and maybe consider B+W if the price is reasonable.

Hi all, I've been looking at many photos taken by both professional and hobbyist photographer. I realized that most of their photos have very vivid colours. Especially landscape shots. I try to take shots like these but still their colours turn out average. I did a bit of research and...

Thanks. Should have looked at the manual first. anyway, I was just testing the lens at the IT show. If it works i may consider buying but now that the show is over I'll have to reconsider my if my budget allows. :cool:
