The place to get my gears
photography April 9th, 2008Went to check if the Canon EOS 400D is ready at Investline Sdn. Bhd. during lunch time today. We sent it for fixing last month. Look like itβs not ready yet.
But it was fruitful since the Canon EFs 55-200mm f/4-5.6 IS lens is available. Now I have the chance to use it first before the 400D come back π
I told Lucy, the taukey, that I will write about her shop in my blog… and I gave her my blogs url π Trying to get free promotion… win win mah…
I also get myself a HOYA CIR-Polarizing filter with 0.75 pitch. I know what polarizer can do, but Iβm not sure yet about the figures. I will try this first and hopefully I got the right one. More of the polarizer result at my SnapShot ShutterBomb.
Investline Sdn. Bhd. located opposite of the road in front of Centre Point, Kota Kinabalu. You can get a good price from Investline if you know your way. Iβve compared with other shops around, and found out prices for body and lens can be much more cheaper here π
The look of the 40D with the 70-250mm… very long till my Lowepro bag has to be modified a bit to fit it inside.
Maximum 200mm towards Centre Point, Kota Kinabalu and Wawasan Flyover while moving inside car.

Why is the picture so dark during daytime?
u r damm right dude… I’m not sure if it caused by the polarizing or because I took it from inside the car… or maybe the lens is like that… I need to do more test on this new lens lah…

dude..if you use a polarizing filter it may reduce your exposure level at least one or two stops. So you might want to compensate for the reduction.
yeah… that’s true, it reduces 2 stops… now have to learn how to play with stops π

hi I just want to ask how much did you buy the Canon 40D at Invetsline Sdn.? I went to karamunsing and i found that AsiaTec selling it for about RM4990.00 with the 17-85MM lenses… and that 500+ expensive than Canon recommended selling price… hope I get good news from you… π

How to anwer you ahh… coz i got a very special bargain price…
OK it was like this… When i bought it about a year ago, the published price is about $4,899 if I remember well for body and EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens… I bought it together with a Lowepro SlingShot 200AW which is priced about $400, a scracth proof hard protector for the LCD (really scratch proof, even if scracth with paper cutter knife!), and some little stuff… But I paid less than tat… Yea,I know! I also donno how the number go down!.. I did not query further, just pay with my credit card. Why should I ask ‘why’ kan… π
But if you u check the price of the EF-S 17-85mm IS USM, it is about $2K
