[lsisaxon]

Opps! my sincere apologies. I got mixed up with who wrote/said what. You didn't advocate getting the D200, it was someone else. :embrass:

Ah. It's ok. good to know it's not me you were referring to.

Eagle not interested in me leh.. See me it flew away.

Sai lah... Like this you call pro shots, if not just want to show the eagle fly away, I won't put this kind of shots up siah.. siah suay only..

I'll probably be going to catch this birdie again. That time saw it dive vertically down to catch fish.. but my camera wasn't ready.. all over in a couple of seconds..

Anyone willing to loan me 600/4?

600? not easy to track birds with it unless you want to try handholding? which means you need big arms to do it..

Price @ $2,835 after GST....still cheap......where's the place.....?

Wait for the eagle to swoop down vertically into the sea to catch fish lor.. I just want that moment!! 400/2.8 on a monopod should be good, I guess.. My longest lens is 300/4. Still it'll be better than the 18-200 @ 200/5.6.

actually i also dont know, getting from a camp buddy... his contacts... $1670 for d70s kit and $2700 for D200

all i asked for is original set with local warranty... should be safe right?

Go for what your heart telling you and you will never regret. ;p

90% of the time true.... good equipment makes certain difficult situations possible..

Tell me about it.. 300/4 also very difficult to track liao!! I was using ISO800 with 1/1000" @ f/5.6 then can get useable picture. At f/4, DOF a bit too shallow. At slower speed, the bird blur. Sigh... Anyway, no eagle this time round... Just practised with some crows first.. hehehe..
