[leef]

You are right, if price is right like <1500, it will be good to get. :bsmilie:[/QUOTE]

I think will be >1500
We can request Oracle to MO again.

I think that eAgles was refering to the AF-S button your 300mm f2.8 lens. :bsmilie:

Are you sure that you have not seen it before? :sticktong

Aiyar..that button doesn't stop motion...it only stops the lens from focusing...

But Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR has that button...hehe

I will be heading to Johor Bahru to get this new baby once it hits the shore. ;p

Hahaha, I think that they are confused by that button. :bsmilie:

Wah lao! U guys say that button can freeze motion. Is that true? :bigeyes:

JB is cheaper than getting over here? By how much? How abt warranty issues?

No lah, that button is to stop the AF temporarily, and not freezing motion. ;p

JB is slightly cheaper only ~ $100 compared to CP, may not worth the effort for you to travel down to get it.

As for me, it's ok because I always go there to makan if I have the time, so might as well as get it from there. It's a Canon International Warranty or Malaysia Warranty. To me it's not a big deal as there is a Canon Service Centre in JB, 20 mins journey at most. I can send it for servicing if I can't service it in Singapore. By the way, what is the probability of this lens failure? Take it easily, just use the lens first, the rest talk later.

Yeap, agree with you. L-lens failure quite low. But you will never know lah. I just sent in my 70-200 f2.8IS to correct that lock-up problem. Quite devastated at the moment. :sweat:

To the experienced ones ...... is it recommended for 350D? Mainly I will be taking photos indoors (2 young kids running around), here and there group photos of family gatherings, love taking landscape photos (buildings, sceneries, the wide plains, the world....etc)

I have the Tamron 18-200mm. Can't complain about the pictures. No lens to compare with yet. But love this all in one type of lens but I have this hand shaking syndrome (a sucker for coffee). Would say 4-5 out of 10 pictures I took will be blurred due to my hand shake. With the IS, I hope to reduce it down say to 1 out of 10 or none at all. 24mm x 1.6 is about 38mm, not so sure will it be wide enough.:dunno:

Would love to hear from you guys. This could be the lens I think I will fall for.

Thanks!

Or you could always spend a quarter/half of the money and get a flash. (I'm presuming you're talking about shooting people indoors/dimly lit areas).
