Canon EOS 450D Club -TCSS Lim Kopi Session: Season 3

[scud]

Bound to have residue. Not residual. Haha


GMAN

lol... u better find out what residual means..

 

[Yoh]

fungus is like cancer. no matter how u chemo, there bound to have residual.

That's where the recurrence of the growth kicks in. Well, of course "re-process" the lens won't be in the prime shape it used to be when its new.

 

[Yoh]

You are paying 1.7k for something that might look like trash and work like one as well. Unless it's a real antique lens, then it's worth restoring, but it isn't. And yupp i agree with brother Yoh. Fungus can come back again.


GMAN

Personal preference though. For me, 1.7K for that kind of lens and still require additional fees on cleaning it, forget about it.

I think you're real good. Good job! I'll keep intune with your sets. Getting inspired by you to do better.


GMAN

lol i honestly dont think im good. but thanks.

 

[JPLim]

Woo. Bro. You appeared again. This Sunday is tee collection hor. 2.30pm at City Hall MRT.

I think I should mass PM all.

And I agree that fungus will not grow under those conditions.

I was very busy for past few weeks.
This week I am not that busy, so I got time to visit here again.
Tmr will meet up with a seller for his 6mth old tamron 17-50mm F/2.8.
If successfully deal, I will bring it for the SSS on this coming sun.

just got another grip!

For yourself or for friend?
Or another BBB again...

Incase anyones interested my quickie set up for the iphone. lol

Nice photo and your photos always make me feel like trying to setup one for myself.

Faster...

70-200 f2.8 IS USM @ $1700...... :bigeyes::bigeyes:

lol, I wont consider that at all.
Fungus is really handy and it will come back soon even if you have cleaned it.

lens coating with a thin film processing is a controlled manufacturing process. if coating is partially removed, the whole lens surface needs to be grinded off in order to re-coat. most of the time, these fungus is remove with liquid-based solution and dried before reassembled back.

I am really interested at the G10.
But not for me, it is for my friend.
She wants it with underwater casing.
Any idea how much it will cost?
Btw, you can sell ur 5D and 24-70mm F/2.8 to me for 1K++.
I dun mind to help u to fully utilise them, haha...

I know what it means, but the phrasing doesn't suit that word.

750 - 775 camera with memory card. The underwater casing im not sure, i have a few friends looking for it too, the last i asked canon didnt have stock for it.

That's why they're hardly reliable. And the lens condition really reflects how the owner took care of that lens. :bsmilie:

Yeah, G10 is real nice. But i've got my Sony T200. Good enough for me.

The paint peel and stuff like that. How can anyone bear to do that to a lens.

GMAN

Some paint peels were works of accidents. Nobody in the right mind would want to doll their L lenses in that way.

Now Shoot Shoot Shoot becomes Sell Sell Sell.

btw, this is partially true if exterior conditions are bang-up.
peeled off coating of a glass inside a lens cant be contributed by users.

btw, dont ever buy from pro photographers, be it lenses, cam body & flash. speaking from experience.
