I think espn's BBB virus will only attack those considered Rich man, haha~~~ i am one of 月光族 in chinese, means Every month use up all money~~~ :sweat:

my friends are considering to go to New Zealand in Nov. I also want to join them. is my 18-70DX good enough for there? should be...

what is the macros ratio for the SIGMA APO II 70-300? and Generally speaking, are SIGMA lenses considered good over the price?

BTW, where can buy 2nd hand in singapore? i checked yahoo auction and ebay. almost nothing there~~~ any where else?

ahh NZ... v shiok place ....

the kit len's wide angle (apr 28mm) is enough ...
for those on budget ... (me included ... )

but tripod is important if u like
- nice sun rise / sun set
- lake reflection
- mountain range ( south island esp ... )

f/1.4 new is about $5xx IIRC.

The only difference I see is that half-stop of light, and the extra weight, definitely not worth the $ IYAM.

There is difference in that half-stop of light and the DOF, but frankly, to my newbie eyes, I can't discern the difference, and not too much difference in image quality against the f/1.8.

Soft at f/1.4 wide open however, but stepped up already gives good image quality.


$5xx

250% increase in price!!! for 10-20% increase in performance?? WOW!!

CP's quotation often exclude GST, need to double check.
