i got mine with the free crumpler bag. my tripod is a travel tripod. so i just clip it at the buckles.

I had a 8 section tripod that can be a table tripod and extend to 1m tall, but not for heavy lens. Fit into my interior of my backpack. Use it more on my S5 IS actually.

Yo.

I heard the sound le. But i have to press my ear right next to the charger to be able to hear the sound. I think it is okay ba.

The charger is running on AC - this sound can be due to the electronic frequencies.

Okay thanks for the feedback!

Make sure the lenses can be used on your Canon though, e.g. Tamron has lenses made to fit Canon or Nikon - you need to get the right one. I'm not sure Nikon lenses can be used on Canon.

It can be use via an adaptor, but u will lose autofocus. Some Adapter comes with AF confirmation to aid better MF.

Thanks for sharing!

eh i think you can actually get third party batteries, just don't use them as the main battery will do. you'll do fine with it. original ones you can try personal classified, it'll be slightly cheaper there. not sure how much. but for 3rd party you can easily get it for 25 or below at simlim, either at edison or alan photo shop hope this helps

i got my original from AP-F @ $80. he extracted it from a kit. there are cheap 3rd party batteries from eBay @ $25, which i think soons can attest?

 

[papermelodydoll]

actually would those 3rd party batteries (aka unoriginal ones) harm the camera?

I juz need a spare battery for 'in case'
cause dont wanna recharge everytime i shoot, but im dead scare of running outta power in the mid of a shoot. i would die!

then i suggest you get the third party, as long as you don't use it for a long period of time , or rather the main battery, its won't do much harm to it

I just bought one 3rdParty Batt from ebay. Glup.
how much you selling yours?

 

[dissonance]

Hey all.. I was at daiso and saw silica gel selling for 2 bucks.. But it's for food? Can we use it too for the cams and lens?

 

[hyori]

letting go at 70!! bought it at 90!

 

[Jonathan Ang]

Just did some shoots at my niece's birthday. Boy no flash so limiting! Not to mention no fast lens or anything with a closer min focus for the food products.

(btw i ended up using my 18-135mm for the IS) - I have a 50mm f/1.8 and a 10-22mm.
End up also have to up my iso to 3200 to get a decent shutter speed.
Shot a few wide open with the 50mm but i realised too narrow DOF that's why i swapped for the 18-135mm.

i want that 580EX II...then I want that 70-200mm f/2.8 MkII ...and lastly that 100mm prime for macro. XD

 

[Sleepies]

hi, anyone using Tamron 18-250 or 18-270 f3.5-6.3 on 550D ?
how's the quality ?

currently im using 18-55mm and 55mm-250mm
im disturbed because of have to changing lens when i want to zooming more above 55mm

 

[Jonathan Ang]

Hi...a general rule of thumb...these "super" zooms are poor in IQ, barrel distortion etc etc...all bad. From 18-250, you definitely ought to chance lenses! Can't have the best of both worlds without losing some things... :lovegrin:

If u ask me.. the 70-200 is the most delicious thing ever. except it is L. except. it is pricey.
Hahaha! Top up the 17-55 // 15-85 and done.

Hahaha..just joking..it's just my own wishlist :bsmilie::bsmilie:

ps. i suggest u do a google search and see if the reviews are acceptable to you

 

[blueacidic]

Check with you guys, normally shutter speed is follow the rule 1/focal length?
