    Nikon Travelite EX binoculars

    Hi Richard. I've seen your ad a few times. Seems you have quite a few of these Nikons to sell :) I'm more interested in the EX models but if you willing to accept around S$110 for your Travelite, then I'm interested. Cheers

    Nikon Travelite EX binoculars

    Hi all. I'm looking for some binoculars for travel/general use. Can anyone recommend where to find the Nikon Travelite and Travelite EX series in Singapore. Cathay Photo doesn't carry this range anymore. Anyone know the estimated price range? Thanks for any help Cheers!

    Alaska

    Can't remember the exact cruisetour number but it was NB about 15 days on the Zuiderdam. Hectic? Not really.....quite relaxing although there were some rather early morning starts. Also a couple of long coach/train days. Maybe some people will prefer to do the SB land tour first and then really...

    Alaska

    I'll answer based on my recent experience on HAL - 1. Room - we booked a starboard room with a balcony. Starboard is generally cheaper than port side for obvious reasons - a port side room will face the port when the ship is in dock enabling a better view. We found the balcony really useful for...

    Need beginner's advice on trip to India

    Just saw your post. Personally I'm a sling bag kind of guy having two Domkes and a couple of Safrottos (domke imitation). In my film days, I have carried two bodies (FM2n) and three lenses (24, 50 and 85) while backpacking. It was heavy but I was much younger then :) Nowadays I make do with one...

    HAL automatically includes a daily tip (calculated per traveller, per day) in their final stateroom bill so you don't have to tip in cash. I spoke to some of my fellow travellers (some Canadians and some Americans) and not everyone agrees with this policy and the amount that is automatically...

    Well, you only live once.....so might as well treat yourself :) As for the cost...let's just say that it was not too EX. You can look out for promo fares on HAL website. They are highlighted in red for particular staterooms when you go into the specific cruise dates. Temperature wise, it was...

    Alaska

    My wife and I just got back from a Holland America northbound cruisetour from Vancouver to Anchorage. We booked everything online - don't think there is a local agent. Anyway it was first class service all the way. We're more the backpacking type too and this was our first cruise but we found it...

    Advice on Semi-pro cameras...

    That effect you're looking for is termed "bokeh" although I don't think you can find it in a dictionary :) Do note that this effect is mostly achieved by using a large aperture which is found on fast lenses. The DSLR bodies hardly contribute to this effect. So you can use the lowest end bodies...

    D70 vs D40

    For major trips, I'd advise you to get a second D60 body so that you are perfectly familiar with the user interface. The D70 is older and the interface is slightly different. The D40 is ok but since the price of the D40 and D60 used is pretty close, it'd be wiser to get two exact same bodies -...

    Recommend DOMKE Bags

    One more vote for the F3X. Have it, love it. Never looked at anything else after that. The F3X is similar to the F6 but has two large pockets at the ends which I find very useful.
