思慶兄拍昆蟲類真是一絕,抓的角度很棒;嗯～要多學學.
思慶兄有嘗試追飛羽嗎?

Thanks... am still learning always.

Flying birds? Tried before a few months back, but not good—lens too short and my panning skill is bad...

Need to find target to practise more... AF (AI Servo) on 1D or 1Ds class machine will help a lot for tracking fast moving things....

可以先追飛機啊～
Maybe "2D" will help more .....

追飛機? You want me to be arrested? They might think long tele lens as bazooka...

Paypal (add 4% I think to offset payapl charges), TT or money order.

The guy is pretty reliable and fast service. I gotten the 180 macro via a pal who was in HK, Hugo delivered the lens to my pal at the Airport express station; gotten my 85/1.8 from him as well.

P.S. Disclaimer: don't blame me if any deal do go bad, just stating my experience.
