Hi guys, Why don't you guys have your order sent to a Malaysian address? That way, you can save the 7.5% GST and it could be substantial if the item cost a lot of money. Last year I bought my Olympus 300mm F2.8 lens from B&H (cost:US$6,000.00) and got away with about $114.00 Malaysian Tax.

Hi again Varanus, Glad you know GS Soh and incidentally he was the one who "poisoned" me into buying the Oly 300mm 2.8 not long after meeting him at Panti. He and his good wife did for me all the paper work to purchase the lens from B&H. Naturally he is my "sifu" and we do meet up sometimes...

Hi Vincent. Very good candid shots you have there. Every shot was impressive and well taken. Wondering what lens and system you had used. Any more shots of the air burial? It will be very educational and informative for us. Thank you for sharing. www.flickr.com/photos/jbfoo

Hi Varanus, Great shots you have there and I've been to your Flickr site to see your other collection. They are great and I really admire you for the strong arms you have to shoot without tripod. I know exactly what it is as I have the same 300mm F2.8 with TC 1.4 & 2. Must really learn from...

Hi there, Must say that this is something new to me also. I shoot very extensively with 2 units of E3 and my son also use an E3 but have not come across this. Maybe you should return the camera to Oly agent for their opinion/adjustments as I assume your E5 is under warranty. We could all...

Hi there, Just sharing my experience on Leica cameras. I have a Digilux 3 & M8.2 and must say that I am very lucky indeed as both cam did not give me any problem at all. All the time I thought there were only "isolated" cases of problem with Leica M9 only.

Hi there, You never check in your camera and lens and should always hand carry them. Get one of those oblong "cabin suitcase" (maximum size allowed for handcarry) with built in trolley and pack your camera bag containing camera and lens in this cabin suitcase. You can also use the extra space...

Hi there. It is absolutely safe to buy from B&H. I bought my Olympus 300mm f2.8 at a cost of USD 6,000.00 and it arrived one week later. One tip though for you: If you can, get your items delivered in Malaysia if the items cost a big sum of money as you can save on GST. Happy shopping!

Hi there, You mentioned that it was a New lens that you bought. In that case, quickly bring it back to the shop and let the shop provide the cleaning service, etc. Otherwise, any tinkering done by you will void your Lens Warranty Status. For your consolation, this is a fantastic lens as it...

Hi guys, I am running an Insurance Agency but in Malaysia. However, Insurance rules and Policies conditions are basically the same throughout the world. Those "home insurance" policies would cover any losses confined to house burglary. Loss of any item in the house would normally be limited...

Hi guys, I am one who uses an Olympus. No point discussing on all the technical aspects as it will not be conclusive. Ultimately it is the picture that you want and so far I think in my humble opinion it is comparable to other brands - otherwise I would not want to commit myself to 2 E3...

Hai Haqeel, From my personal experience, the Awana Kijal in Cherating is money's worth. Me and my family was there during the last Chinese New Year to get away from it all. Although the rooms are a bit pricey they are compensated by the very fair price of food in the Chinese Restaurant and...

Hi Egnaro, If you are going to pay for a Converter either 1.4 or 2.0 then why not consider buying a 70-300mm Oly lens which I think is about the same price of a convertor. Having another lens for the right purpose is definitely better than converters in terms of performance and quality of...

Dear Ben Eng, I think Wire has hit the nail on the head, ie it takes more than a DSLR to take that "once in a life time" marriage photos. It would be a nightmare for the photographer when...

Has anyone tried this particular lens on before? How's the AF performance and image quality throughout the range? And to Canon users, how's it compared to Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS L? Would appreciate if any mates here can provide some reviews on it. Thanks! Hi there, I...

After going through all the comments (some very technical) I would like to give my humble opinion on the 70-300. It is a fantastic lens for taking close up of flowers (at full 300mm) and is also champion when it is used for portraiture shots at around 130mm as the bokeh is beautiful. As for...

Hello Oly owners, I am a Newbie to Clubsnap and a first timer to this forum. I have no knowledge on this Sigma 70-300 but I am certainly sure that the Zuiko 70-300 is a very fine lens as I own one. Auto focus is fast and images turn out to be very crisp and clear. I am not sure about the...
