Thanks Thinktank22!!

Also, I intend to get square filter as well. So far the best I heard of is Cokin followed by Hitech. However it's very very expensive .... But I saw on the Mass Sales Section that some stores selling Hercules / Tianya filter as a affordable price (in my price range). I wonder how does it affect in terms of image quality. I'm quite interested on Hercules square filter set ($68 for complete 6 filters + holder + adapter i think).

I wouldn't think it is a good idea as a bad 3rd party battery could possibly damage the original as well, unless I'm wrong about how the grip works.
Keep us posted.

so far so good am using this Hercules Sets , it the same as the tianya but the color casting is much better than tianya ( which i also own which the N8 for tianya is too much color cast ) , for this Hercules brand - if you are looking for somewhere affordable

thanks for the tips..

Thanks for the advice! Now I can safely purchase it. Hehe.

Btw, Tianya's filter set is jus additional $30 from the usual Hercules $68.

Hi all! Going to hong kong for study trip soon and have set my eyes on either the 16-85 nikkor or tamron 28-75. Any advice which will be better as I normally do a bit of portrait and street. Research and see that the tamron is rather slow in AF in low light, any fellow users here can share exp? Thanks!!

 

[mds80]

I would go for the 16-85 nikon lens. This lens has legendary sharpness and the range is better than the tamron. The downside is that it's not a fast lens with big aperture so you might want to consider what kind of subjects you shoot then select the right lens for yourself.
