Nikon SB-900 Speedlight / Flash – Initial Impression…a short “review”?

Posted by KhoKing on Saturday Jul 26, 2008 Under Photography

I have the chance to play with Nikon SB-900 speedlight yesterday. Did some simple test and play with it…compared with my SB-800, here’s some of my thought…

The SB-900 is HUGE! Significantly BIGGER and LARGER and LONGER than Nikon SB-800. This is definitely not an advantage of the new flash…besides not so easy to get lost…

Here are some photo comparison of the two flashes side by side:
Left = SB-800 ; Right = SB-900

As you can see in the photos above, the LCD of SB-900 is significantly larger as well, with more information being shown. The flash head is so much bigger and longer than SB-800, I guess that is mainly due to the 200mm flash zoom gear in the head. Read More

Tamron SP 17-50mm F2.8 A16N II ~ Short Review!

Posted by KhoKing on Tuesday Mar 4, 2008 Under Photography

Am I the first in the world (consumer) to review this lens?!

Tamron scheduled to release this lens to the market on 17th March 2008, but my supplier has managed to get the stock for me today! I ordered some quantity from them, the first generation (A16N), but was surprised to see there is a mixed of A16N and A16N II in the delivery.
