Still feeling the pain lar... but wanted true ultrawide angle (17mm) for my trip in June to the Canadian Rockies and Alaska... a bit disappointing the performance of the 17-35D in my quick and dirty test... will have to test again... will post 100% crops of the test shots in the shop and then more when I get about to start shooting...

Realise I need to buy a softer more comfy neckstrap instead of the lousy cloth one from SONY... plus I need another bag...

Oh and the wondrous part about pro bodies (or something called the flagship)?!?! - The LCD protector is not provided in the box!!! You've got to buy and I paid S$24 for one... I bought a spare... $24 for a piece of plastic?!! Wow! Tell me I got fleeced!

funny the shop didn't absorb your LCD protector cost... shd have asked for it

the only 'unpleasant' surprise that i got out of the a900 was there's no wireless controller for the flashes.... have to couple with the new flash :S

I tried asking for it but she didn't budge... I wasn't in a mood for bargaining hard (I usually don't bargain much lar...) and so I just paid up... after spending $5000, quibbling about another $24 seems quite ugghh...

Anyway, it's just me lar... I will post test shots... will mount on tripod and snap... maybe shoot my staff room... lots of clutter and quite easy to spot OOF... kekeke... going to the storeroom to take out my tripod now... kekeke....

I usually buy $25 screen protectors .

The brand is Martin Fields and its worth the money.

This is a hard screen protector, not the soft film that is used for PDAs and mobile phones...

It is soft film screen protector

But its really good. Makes other screen protectors worthless.

Here are some reviews about it

But the soft protector won't protect the LCD from a knock that a hard protector would. Also the clear hard protector from SONY is really also very good...

the GGS LCD protector is really good too
