Lens for travel

[_espn_]

ya lor..... moreover they didn't do a good job the 1st time, still spotted few elephants.... it was lucky that i checked B4 leaving, asked them to clean again & finally stepped out NSC with satisfaction.

But i like the new NSC, very nice, too bad its within ERP area.

Huh? Clean so many times somemore? $26 like that well spent liao lor ... :bsmilie:

Yeah it's within ERP/CBD area.. somemore need to walk a bit from the MRT... I sure perspire when I reach...

Me will try to head down next week to play with the cameras there.

any opinion between
(1) sigma APO 70-200mm f2.8 EX ~ $1868 and a Nikkor AFS VR 70-200mm f2.8G IF-ED ~ $3800 diff almost $2K++ ...
(2) sigma APO 70-200mm f2.8 EX ~ $1868 Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8D ED ~ $1980 almost same price.

by the way what is the diff detween IF-ED & ED in Nikkor Lens ??

sigma lens only 1868??

Dun tell me i got cheated by the shop...

Get the 18-200mm VR. First, it is relatively cheaper than the expensive f2.8ers and lighter (very impt when travelling). Unless you are looking for very good bokeh and brighter lens, 18-200 should serve well for travel photography. You would not need to switch lens - no dust - no elephants in the CCD. One lens = no need to wait to change lens - can capture faster the special moments..

I quote ken rockwell "My 18 - 200 VR is more than just a new lens. It's changed the way I live and make photos.".. Hmm... that statement means something... (those with f2.8 lens have other particular requirements; personally, it suffice)

yah, but then i still need to change to 50mm f/1.8 and sigma 10-20mm for other purposes. and to me, all 3 are main lens used. while this cover the range well, it is yet to be THE lens for me yet cos i too greedy for shots and wanted more with different situations.....

instead of f/2.8 i used the 50mm f/1.8 to achieve the bokeh but with a restricted frame though.
