Man you guys are so good at spreading poison. And it's spreading fast too.

If I get a big bonus during CNY I might consider joining the Tamron 180mm group.

[trident]

Luenny,
actually I was a victim myself. now I have become a carrier and am carrying on the tradition of spreading the poison

[benetay]

Joining the 180 group is really attractive. Hope i don't come in too soon.

Cheers!

Richard,

Bene,

[trident]

Nic,

Don't forget the Battery charger and rechargeable batteries.

[Wackytpt]

Richard,

Noooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If got good deals at Clubsnap. Please let me know

[luenny]

I have a list too. In fact, I have 2 lists. The list of things I want to buy and the list of things that I have bought. The first list shows how much more I need to spend to buy and the second shows how much I have already spend. Now I'm concentrating a lot on the second list. I find that it is quite effective in removing poison.

[benetay]

Bene,

What is your current gear?

Hehe..

Using a normal macro lens with a flash on a body. Nothing to shout about. Most of my equipments are second hand or 3rd hand.

Sigma 180mm had not got very good reviews. So far the most common in SG is Tamron 180mm, which explains its never in stock. I am one of the weird ones that get a odd 150mm f2.8 ^^; as I find 180mm too long and heavy for me.

Haha a silly comment from me-I agree it's too long. Normally is I have to be so far away from the subject, it's probably is too disgusting to go up close anyway.

There's only so many nice dragonflies you can shoot IMO. [I know I'm going to kena for this comment: ] Muahaha!

[hwchoy]

shoot girls, even if they look the same, you can change their clothes

[StanChung]

Aiyo, they will look like ham chin piah' [flat deep fried buns] The perspective compression of a 150 or 180mm is not good for chinese girls lah. 150mm and above would make guys look good though. Especially bodybuilders. [You like ah? ]

Eg Siti Nurhaliza looks great in person, but when shot in stadium even she looks like she's overweight. Reason? Telephoto lenses.

IMHO 70mm to 105mm is just nice for portraits depending on the facial and body structure.

Shooting people is a different skill altogether...[going to kena again... I can feel it coming...]

[hwchoy]

oh I absolutely agree, that's why an 85/1.2L is in order
