    Bali - recommended lenses

    Agree with ijnek to bring along a 50mm prime. However, my consideration is to have it as a back-up lens. I too have the 24-120. On 2 overseas trips the lens either had a malfunctioned motor or got damaged when I accidentally dropped it. My 50mm saved the day!

    D750 service advisory 2017

    Mine was repaired in a week. Collected my camera and went shooting in Sentosa on the same day. After a few shots, got a call form NSC. It had given me someone's camera! The staff offered to send my camera to my residence but I decided to go back to NCC to swap. Lesson learned is the staff AND...

    Choice of lenses for birding

    Thanks all for the advices. I think I go for the 300mm PF with TC 1.4 combo. Other than getting 600mm FOV with one stop loss of light, I can save as no requirement to buy a heavy duty tripod with a good gimbal. Cheers.

    Choice of lenses for birding

    Thinking of trying out bird photography. Understand the pros of using prime vs zoom lenses and at least 500mm focal length is required for small birds. I have a FX and DX body. I have narrowed down to 2 choices of lenses: #1 Nikon 300mm PF with 1.4C (around $3k) #2 pre-owned Sigma 500mm F4.5...

    Tripod for Birding

    Thanks for the sharing. Checked TK Photo webpage and the 3204 is no longer listed. Will a leveling head be a necessity or a good to have accessory for birding in forested area?

    Tripod for Birding

    Thanks all for the information. With my budget I will be looking at the Sirui R-4214X (height 150cm) or R-5214X (height 160cm). As the Lensmaster gimbal is 25 cm high and I am about 160cm, will buying the 4214 be a better choice? The tripod may be paired with a ballhead for landscape works. Or...

    Tripod for Birding

    Is a tripod with centre column suitable or absolutely necessary for bird photography? Planning to pair a LENSMASTER gimbal with a Nikon 200-500. Request recommendations of suitable carbon tripods below $600. Thanks.

    HAZE AND ITS PROBLEMS....

    As reported in the Straits Times, Vice President Indonesia was quoted to have said '"For 11 months, they enjoyed nice air from Indonesia and they never thanked us." Perhaps the Indonesian meteorology should have educated him that from Nov/Dec to Apr/May is the North East monsoon and all the...
