New in house... Canon 70-200mm F4L


Well... last night...after pikiq habis-habis pasai lens ni...which one to grap after few option being studied (in hunt for 70-200mm)... here are some rumusan...

1. Sigma 70-200 F2.8 - a bit soft and "slow" maybe not a good unit when tested at Click & Snap. Price about $3.5k... mahai jugak!
2. Canon 70-200 F2.8L - superb! tapi $$ tak cukup and price pun dah increased!!! 2nd hand about ~$3.6k and new about ~6k+. For IS version...just have to forget about it...out of reach ($7.5k)!!!
3. Canon 70-200 F4L IS - ada 2nd hand ~$3.3k tapi dah ada orang angkat (called up Ms Koay Excel Shop). Called up Jack Click & Snap.... new one price increase to $4450... haiyaaaa...!!! So.. have to forget it!
4. Canon 70-200 F4L non IS - new one about $2.7k... ok..ada budget.... tengok dalam forum (PhotoMalaysia.com) ada mamat nak jual! Warranty still ada 3 bulan...price pun menarik ($1.9k). So, when to Qbay Mall to meet up this quy... surpriced... this guy from Korea (BTW nice guy too!) working in Penang for 2 years already. Sembang2 sikit....last sekali kasi kawtim for $1850.... test the lens superb condition (like new..!!!)... what can I say... "I'm happy" can't detached the lens from my canon 40D body! So, kasi angkat saja..! To korean bro.... thanks man!

So... the search has ended.... for a while at least...hehehe..!!!
