What did the star ferry do to greenpeace? A re-occurence of what happened in NZ? :lol:

Great pics mate. I have never used or seen the 180mm - is it a macro?

The Nikkor 180mm is a prime AF-D 180mm/2.8. Great lens and it's the same league with the Nikkor 200mm micro.
I'm sure Mic have one and I do have one too!

Yes, very compact lens (1.7lbs) and small in size but have power of F2.8.
Keep one in your camera bag and you will be surprised by its effect.

Now I am using 12-24 and 180mm. I start to love this 180mm lens for it is compact in size and good in result.
Thanh has the price.

Thanks for the info. Sure would be a lot lighter than the 70-200VR...hmmm

Yes, it's lighter in both sides: weight and $$$$$$ :wink:

Hi Poon
These pix have deeper, richer colour than I normally see in photos from HK. I assume that is attributable to the polariser.
Thanks for posting them.

Great shots Poon, they really bring back memories to me. The last time I was in Honkers they were still building the Culture Centre! :lol:

Mr Poon, great shots of the Star Ferry! I particularly like the front-on shot with Ocean Terminal (I think) in the background. Shall have to catch up with you next time I'm in HK, may go back with Gladys around Chinese New Year, we'll see.

Hi Mr. Poon,

I agree with Trent... The head-on shot of the ferry is a great capture, but looking at it again I think it's moving away from the camera...

Great shots next time your onboard with that 180mm lens see if you can get some shot's of the ropes that lay on the floor they make great pic's
