I got mine at TK photo for $255.

Just got a copy of Photography Monthly (June) at CD RAMA at Toa Payoh Central, selling at $11.90. Actually if you got 1 full year of Photography Monthly, I guess you can stop buying anymore, cause the topic/theme will recycle, for example the June copy 2004 and June copy 2005 are on Landscape...

Hi, Has anybody tries out the sigma ring flash? Is it any good? I was quote $640 by John 3:16 only about $200 cheaper than the Canon ring flash, so if the quality differ a lot, maybe it better to get the Canon ring flash.

The Manfrotto Carbon fibre tripod (Carbon one) cost $600-$700. The Velbon Carbon fibre tripod is cheaper by approx. $100-$150.

I am using the normal Hagiwara 512MB CF card (check their Jap website, I think it approx. 10X speed) shooting firework in blub mode at ISO100 in large JPEG. If the file is 2.5MB it should take about 2 sec. to complete the writing, so I guess it should be normal. Just get furstrated that cannot...

So I guess no point spending money on a fast CF card since the improvement in minimum. :(

Hi, Currently using a slow 512MB CF card. I shout in JPEG with the highest resloution. It take about 2-3 second to write to the CF card. Cannot click again until finished writing. Thinking of buying a Lexar 40X WA CF card. But not sure whether will it help much because afraid that the...

Depend on what you are doing, if you need fast shutter speed to freeze movement, no good having a IS lens that allows you to shoot in slower shutter speed. But if depth of field is more critical like landscape the Canon IS lens will allows you to hand hold at least 2 stop slower than you focal...

A carbon fiber tripod are both stable and Light weight and it is very costly $600+. I think you have to sacrifice some weight advantage for stablity if price is a concern. The manfrotto 190 tripod are very heavy not suitable for travel.

Sorry do not know what the actual price of this lens but I guess it should be around $600

Yes one and only. It should come with a lens hood, 3rd party lens usually come with lens hood. You can check the sigma web site for sigma lens info. www.sigmaphoto.com

Heard that Singh-Ray ND filters are good but don't seem to be selling in Singapore. I brought a Cokin ND4 GD for $27 at CP. But you first has to purchase a filterholder $10 and a Adaptor ring that can screw on to your lens, price depend on size.

I think should be 15 not 16. One way to know the stops is to set your camera to TV (Shutter prioty) and if you camera in in half stop increment, everytime you turn the dial buttion on your camera it is half stop different so turn 4 time you will be able to get 2 stop different which is 15.

I will bring my X drive pro and not my notebook, it smaller, ligther, can double up as a mp3 player and most importantly very much cheaper than notebook, less costly in case of lost or damage. :D Anyway, most of the hotel got TV can just plug in to review photo, don't need notebook, also...
