i don't see anything buddy (from the n70).

.

That's a huge and awesome lens at f2.8, wow! The cropped "eyebrow" shot is scarily sharp.

Would you happen to remember what the tripod was and the ballhead that was used in that setup?

.

ooooooooooooh... so huge!

looks like a gitzo al... not sure of the exact model though.

From the pictures, it looks like a Gitzo tripod and Novoflex ballhead because of the distinctive blue collar.

Thanks guys! Thought it was a Gitzo, just wasnt sure. Must be a good combo, head and legs, for the store owner to carry the weight of the Nikon 400mm f2.8 secured with a tie down, security cable.

.

there was another lens displayed on the other corner of the store, i think it was a Nikon 600mm f4. unfotunately there was no body attached to it.

its like holding a bazooka!

600/4!!! now, that's a major arsenal...

i want to see it!!!

hi dindin,

unfortuantely, our attention was focused on the 400mm. sarap pakinggan ng d200 doing continuous shooting mode, parang machine gun! no pics for the 600mm :Oops: though.

If I remember Man Shing's store layout , those two huge lenses (400mm & 600mm) stood out prominently on the display floor being it, Man Shing, having a narrow, deep store configuration and not really being spacious. Unless they've done some store renovations, I may be wrong.

.

..they have just renovated thier Shop & is now in a U shape config. might pass by again this Sat. & could take some pics of the place & lens....

if you've been to Wing Shing, the newly renovated Man Shing have the same layout... magkaka-Shing itsura na po sila. :)

.

That's nice, "magka-Shing" itsura na both sister stores Wing Shing and Man Shing. When did they reno Man Shing, must have been recently?

.

..just last month & mag kamag anak nga yang dalawang yan

Hmm. most of the stores seem to have renovated.. i couldnt find some of the stores i used to go to before!!!

Wing Shing is renovated and they also seem to have increased their prices a bit.. :)

Where else can i go see some lenses while am here in HK?
