eh you 20d owner right, you need one too

[baranne]

May I suggest a used Canon 420EX speedlite and a ST-E2 wireless transmitter, as well as some close up attachments.

Life will never be the same again.

Cheers,

Been wanting to get the ST-E2 but MS colour and Cathay Photos both out of stock. Any idea where else I can source?

Yes, evil Benny...

[baranne]

If Justin gets one set too, I can save time and give both Thomas and Justin personalised coaching on aquatic/macro photography together.

Very fun one you know? How?

Cheers,

What about me?

Once I got the lens and the new CF card, why not?

Haiz... The free 1GB Card crashed and cannot even be re-formatted!...

[Ebony]

If all goes well, there should be an AQ aquatic photography workshop after Chinese New Year. Let's see how that goes.

Cheers,

I would be very interested in a workshop Benny!
Keep us posted on the details!! Will check on wot lenses my better half has for our D70 and then buy more if needed!

plenty of people in clubsnap buy/sell waiting for you to buy their lovely lenses. a Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro can be had for around $300. Not sure if it is true macro (1:1) though. but then I strongly recommend the Canon EF 180mm L Macro

[Simon]

Sigma 70-300 is 1:2

I dun strongly recommend the canon 180mm

[benny]

I strongly recommend the Canon EF 180mm L Macro

Most would consider that an unusual recommendation, but I would agree that it's certainly a very good one. Especially for butterflies and fishes (and for ranmasatome - various other types of insects).

Cheers,

[Simon]

why not benny coach the guys indoor and I take them outdoor for insect macro?

[benny]

Thomas,

Your spoilt CF card is probably under warranty. You can just change for a new one.

Cheers,

[Simon]

ya, since its a freebie from canon, just pop by and get it changed

[Justikanz]

Problem is, CANON says they dun do exchange for freebies... So, they dump me the website (which is useless as it does not state the Sg agent) and ask me to talk to the card maunfacturer myself... It is the Eastgear guy who told me that the agent for the card is at Albert Complex and that I should go there for an exchange. But he does not know the exact address. I am going to hound the Canon people now for the address. I just tot, heck, get a new card first lor.

[benny]

Should have asked me for a spare to use in the meantime. I have a few Sandisk Extreme III 2 GB lying around.

Cheers,

[Justikanz]

I was downtown mah... And dun wanna keep hounding you and Simon also...

But, hey, thanks for the offer! But seems like I am rather suay and busy these few days... I think I better just rest for the next few days... If this goes on, I might have to give up some tanks!
