anyone goin to Wallaby this year?
wa sibeh sian. i jus got my call-up. heading down under this october to november. SIAN!
I love Wallaby !!! The last time I went there is in Support of the Armour DIV. We got nothing to do untill the last mission which is a DIV exercise then we join in. Best is I become the spare man so help S2 do planning and cover safty only. loads of free time spent eating t he Super Dog and Ice Coffee in the Alfresco Canteen admiring the Lady boss and her daughter ;p
Just some ramblings...
My Nikon AFS17-35 f2.8D, the AFS motor died yet again.
It will be my THIRD (3rd) AFS motor on the lens. each change costs close to S$1k/.
the last change was slightly over 2years ago.
i've owned the lens for close to 8years. I never mistreat nor use it harshly, in fact i baby my equipments. then just when I was about to sell it and move on from Nikon, my main lens is struck with the curse of the AFS motor. sibeh dulan!
wonder what is wrong with Nikon's AFS motor for the 17-35mm lens?? sibeh pissed!
now i'm stucked, need to delay my upgrade of equipment plan.
change to a new AFS motor = S$1k/.
sell it after change = S$1.2k/. (cannot sell high due to internal lens scratches. dun ask me how it got scratched. the only time it can get scratched is when the lens is taken apart, right? so.... it might oso be wear and tear???)
pay S$1k for the change and then sell it at S$1.2k = more than S$800 loogi. might as well keep this lens and my Nikon DSLR!
sibeh pekchek!
haiz...
thus, i feel that if you're buying AFS lenses, u should bear in mind that the motor will fail in time to come.
maybe you should splash out the $$ to buy a new AFS lens, instead of buying used AFS lenses. just a precaution!
maybe i will look out for non-motorised lenses the next time round.
ppl, better keep a tighter track of your guess guess guess standings..
kelong king uh..on the lookout for sponsorship deals.. :angel:
