Hi everyone, I'm looking for shop recommendations to pick up an A7ii in KL. I searched the forums and found a shop called Boeing but would like to avoid Sungai Wang Plaza because of recent events and its general reputation (akin to our Sim Lim Square). Would appreciate it if anyone else...

Forgot to add: No mechanical issues and focus is sharp. Lens is as good as new.

Thanks, but I think you missed my point. I'm not moaning about the overall weight of a DSLR system. :cool: Just to add, I think the 35L is the heaviest of the primes I'm considering. Its a weight I can live with on the basis that its similar to the weight of the 24L I already use now. I...

Forgive me but I meant that the 24-70 supplements the prime, not the other way round. I guess I don't see primes as specialized lenses. The primes are my primary lenses for their sharpness, and 24-70 for flexibility when I don't have time to compose my shots. The 24-70 is a great lens no doubt...

Same, thats precisely whats holding me back! I tried playing around with my 24L on MF and I'm not very confident that I can get it right at least 1/2 the time.

Thanks for your reply =) 1) Yeah I accept its all about preference. Trouble is I can't decide which one's for me. The way I shoot, the 50mm is great outdoors, but a little tight indoors. Likewise, I find the 24 and 35 a little too wide at times. But I guess with a FF now, I can afford to crop...

Would like to hear some opinions. 1) What would you use as a walkabout prime lens (street/candids) - 24mm, 35mm or 50mm? I already own all 3 primes in different aperture sizes. 24mm I f1.4L, 35mm f2, 50mm II f1.8. I'm having trouble deciding which focal length to keep. Keeping all 3 feels...

Four Hundred. I suspect it's because it's a JPEG, and then further compressed when I uploaded onto flickr. It wasn't so bad before upload. Its a tad overexposed too. I forgot to store the RAW when transferring to Aperture.

It would also depend on why you think you need an upgrade. If image quality is your major concern and the $4k pricetag bugs you, you could consider going to a 60D, 7D or even a 5DmkII first. 500D to a 5DmkIII IS a very big jump cost-wise.

I don't doubt that the price WILL drop. 3, 6, 9 or 12 months? Who knows? When it does, I'm not going to feel sore. The price of early adoption that I'm happy to live with. The emphasis of my statement is "too drastically", not "drop". 10% drop on the street price in the next 3-6 months...

New 5DmkIII user reporting in. Upgraded from a 50D. Got it on the 16th from Paris Silk. No regrets over the price. I believe in either early or late adoption of technology.This time, I chose the former. In any case, I highly doubt that Canon will scr3w early adopters over and drop the RRP...
