Hi there, it is inconvenient to reveal how much I got it here but the market price is about 8-9xx now. And coldcaptain has kindly helped replied your question on "reflective shots". She's right. :)

It meant probably a mirror or any black or shiny surface, glass etc that reflects. Or even lights on water. Wow, I see you've gotten yourself quite an outstanding lens. Not bad for a macro, I hope you'll love your lens! I haven't got mine :( But I should soon. Because it's either upgrade body kit or get a new lens, but I'll see. And nice bag! Great to put all my camera and stuff inside! And YES. PHOTOGRAPHY BOOKS. I download magazine online too :P I had a great weekend. Thank you. I hope you did too.

Hi Jo! Are you having the so called "YOG Break" now too, or are you still interning? Yes it is a superb lens, I'm loving it already! :) & I'm sure you will soon, have you more or less arrived at a decision?

Thanks! I love the bag too, I think the colour's lovely (my friends don't) and it's really spacious. Haha, I'm wowed by your enthusiasm. Do you have any good ones to recommend/introduce? :p Yes I did, thank you! xo

Hello amanda! Not really a YOG break it's holidays all the way till 23rd October till (Let me correct) We, embark on the last semester of school term! You're making me jealous of that lens! I'm more or less stuck with a decision of getting a d700 and a 70-200mm lens, probably damage done would be about 8k sgd for both body and lens (Appx) that's if I have enough cash by the end of October or hopefully December if I don't go anywhere in between but it's quite impossible because I should be going Syd or France in Oct ( ... )

Wow, how much is the d700 actually? The 70-200 is a really really good lens and I've considered (the f/4) before, but that's an L glass and it's really over my budget. Are you intending to sell your current body? Cos' that might lessen the total cost. Wow Syd/France - I wanna go to both places! Might be going to Syd next midyear. Enjoy your trip if you do go ( ... )

hahah yeah man!! i totally agree that one of the reasons why i don't buy crumpler bcos it's overpriced and overrated :/ (li ern here btw XD)

Hi Li Ern! :) Exactly... but it's ok because this is a camera bag and I think Crumpler's really good for that because it's quite sturdy and that'd be a plus point in its function. How's holidays going for you? :)

How much did u buy yur bag for? Is it actually really meant to be a camera bag?

beautifuladieu August 12 2010, 02:28:44 UTC
Hi there, it is retailing at $156/- at local Crumpler stores. Yeap, Crumpler sells camera bags other than the overrated messenger bags (and bags for other functions), you can view the images here. :)

Omg Amanda! Hahahaha we got the same bag together and I got myself a new lens too! This is so coincidental! Hahaha. I wanted to get a new camera bag for awhile already and I chanced upon Crumpler in HKG and I was told it's cheaper so I bought it there! How much did you pay for yours?

I wanted to get the 5million $ but it ran out of grey and there was no way I am gonna get other colours cos the grey color combo was kinda love at first sight and I just had to get it so I settled for the 6million, which I figured would be handy since I always stash a lot of other nonsense into my bag.

And awesome lens you've got there! (: waiting to see you upload your new pixxas!

HAHA that is wayyyyy too coincidental. It's selling for $156 here, how much cheaper was it in HKG? It was love at first sight too, the grey and red. The other colour combos were....... you get my drift.

Thank you! I will, soon. :) What lens did you get yourself? And are you back in Singapore already?

electrofever August 12 2010, 09:50:51 UTC
I got it for approx SGD143? I think! Not a lot cheaper ah ): Hahah yes the other color combis were.... But it's kinda big on me, and pretty heavy even before I put in other additional lens/ stuffs. I don't think I can withstand the weight if I were to bring it out the whole day. Haha. And yes so damn coincidental, quite hard to believe! It's just that we got them in 2 different countries haha.

Oh, I got a Sigma 30mm F1.4! Lens and camera stuffs are generally cheaper in HKG too and I couldn't resist so I bought it too! Haha. And yes I'm back in SGP last night close to midnight. Was looking thru my friends' page and saw your post hahaha and commented immediately!

Yeah, it's not much diff actually. & I agree, the 6M is kinda big but a bit more roomy, I would have preferred the size of the 5M but it's kinda squeezy and I can't put my cell/wallet in that way. Good thing the 6M comes with a shoulder pad, that eases the weight a lot. (If you get the 5M with an additional shoulder pad, it'd come down to about $138 so the upgrade to 6M is definitely worth it :)

Oh that's one of the lenses next on my (lenses)-to-get list! My friend, Jolene (coldcaptain) uses the 30mm and she takes really amazing shots. I'm sure you'll enjoy the lens. How much different is the pricing for the Sigma in HKG?
