    Hi everyone,

    after a long hiatus from headphone world, a friend offered me his MS-1 for $100 - a price I couldn't resist :P

    anyway they do sound really good, especially at that price! I was wondering if a bowl pad would improve the sound quality further (open up the detail more,etc) ? Any other pad (flat?) that is worth considering ?

     

    Thanks :)

    Thanks alot guys :D !!

     

    fuwen: I travelled with a group of friends(most of them photographers, but a few are for pure holiday trip). My friend who organized has a cousin who runs the travel agency, so it's quite convenient arrangement for us.

     

    heady: yes Myanmar people are definitely some of the friendliest I've met. Chatted with many of them about their life, religion, and some politics as well(not in public though). The most amazing was when I was shooting at the train station and was approached by the man in green uniform(probably from the army), I thought he would have asked me to stop shooting. But instead he asked me to shoot the lady opposite LOL :doh: ...

     

    When we were there, there were hardly tourists around, despite now being the peak season. I think most would rather go to the neighbouring Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam...

     

    but Myanmar is definitely a country I would go back again one day. There's just so much to photograph, especially the plains of Bagan (only spent a day there), the relaxing lake of Inle, and to catch many other festivals in the country like the water festival, etc. I think it's truly one of the gem in SEA.

    like u said, the discrete digital can never truly reach the continuous analogue spread. The best it can do is to try fill those gap and emulate, to the point that it is 'good enough' for most users. Personally, the full control of post processing is the winning factor for me in digital. If it were film, I would have to do really alot of work in dark room, which I could now in front of my laptop with a few clicks :P

    Hi Blues, what digital system are u into now, still Nikon? D700?

     

    With Zeiss now releasing ZF lenses for Nikon ZE lenses for Canon, very tempting to buy the full frame DSLR, but price still too high for me to jump into a new system.

    Hi fuwen,

    Still Nikon system, but Fujifilm innard - S5pro ...

    don't quite have the financial mean to purchase a D700, thought hopefully i could move on to Full Frame in the future. Nothing beats the 'real' view of what 35mm supposed to be, the DOF. The crop is just a compromise.

     

    Oh yes, Zeiss is definitely offering a lot of options for people who are still into Manual Focus with their recent Canon EF mount announcement!

    Equally surprising to me is the announcement of the new Leica S2 system, shows that the German companies might not have lost it completely in the digital arena?

    Yay just gotten my Fujifilm S5pro yesterday. Took me about 1 hr to get totally familiar with the settings .. ready for shooting just awaiting bigger CF card and remote shutter hehe!

     

    D3 and D300 differences are mainly Full frame vs DX 1.5x crop sensor, ability to shoot in extremely low light(D3) due to the phenomenal high iso performance and faster AF.

    There are other small things here and there like ability to use dual CF card on D3, etc .. but the big difference is just down to whether it's full frame or crop sensor.
