    <p>Thank you my friend Edward, I thought I was the only one facing this problem.<br>

    I do have a magnifier in fact 2 of them which swing a side from the view finder, I bought them for my Mamiya RZ67, I also have an attachable magnifier which I bought for my Toyo CF field camera, are they of any use my friend, or is there something like that for the Hasselblade and where I can find it my friend, please.<br>

    Thank you a lot and Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to you and yours my friend.</p>

    <p>My friend Bruce good morning to you from Pattaya/Thailand.<br>

    I shoot so far 6 Ilford 50ASA films so far, 2 using the 503CW and the 50MM Lens, 2 using the 500 C/M and the 80MM Lens and 2 with the 500 C/M and the 150MM lens.</p>

    <p>All the films processed here and sound very good, I couldn't scan them yet but I am leaving Thailand going home on the 19th. Saturday and I will scan them at home as I have the Epson 750 .<br>

    I do not know why but I did like the 500 C/M a lot, nothing wrong at all with the 503CW but it is just a matter of a personnel preferance.<br>

    Thank you my friend for your input, wishing you a very Merry Christams and a very happy new year to you and yours my friend.</p>

    <p>My friend <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=5127498">Leo Laksi</a>, thank you a lot for your input, I love Thailand and having many friends here and they do take care of me by all means.<br>

    Nik Thailand did sell me the F5 Battery Charger for 20000 Bat and two Barreries for 20000 Bat, total of 40000 Bat.<br>

    I agree there is prices different from one place to another, but when the charger is sold on the net for not more than 150 USA dollars, I do have the right my friend to complain, the different is beyond beleive.<br>

    I had many things bought from Nik Nikon, in the past, trusting them is not any more my friend but this is just me, I do have the receipt for what I bought and the prices clearly mentioned in them, if you are a Thai person my friend, you can refer to my friend , the owner of foto-ku station studio in Pattaya , he is my close friend and he will tell you that the price I paid is much above what that chrager cost.</p>

    <p> The fault is mine , and I had to pay to learn,</p>

    <p>Thank you my friend , I do approcaite your past experince with Nik Thailand and as I do approciate your input here, this way we all learn and help each other, I wish you all of the best my friend and happy new year to yours.</p>

    <p>Thank you my friend <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=323291">Dieter Schaefer</a>, I now understand that my lens have long time in the market and its time to have some thing better, just I am so sorry for my self, that I have rushed to buy it , I could have waited just for one month to buy the new one.<br>

    70-200 is the real lens I did need urgent here, no one to plame, its my own fault and may be my own short thoughts and experinces which did count at the end of the day.<br>

    Thank you again my friend, I did learn out of this thread because of my friends input, best regards my friend.</p>

    <p>My friend <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5732861">J Williamson</a>, thank you a lot for your input , it is very much approcaited by all means.<br>

    I understand that I am on my way trying my best to learn photography the right way and from the people whom having more expernices than me, I do find this is very human and of no shame at all, the people who think they know everything are those people who will never learn and will never improve at all.<br>

    For example my friend, you will never find any of my images twisted on the right or the left , this is simple basic and when many of a person images are need be shifted or titlted, then to me he is not learning much and he luck the understanding of photography.<br>

    So my friends I started to learn the basic and from there learn more and more.</p>

    <p>As I have stated earlier , I have given my camera and my lens to a nikon expert and a first class photographer to test, with all of his tuning and playing with my camera setup, he couldn't give me one sharp photo at F2.8 or at F4 with an ISO of 400 and with a mono pod.<br>

    So where I am now, need a high shutter speed and an F stop of 8 or more , 800 ISO or more in order to gain sharpness out of nikon lens ?<br>

    Well my friend, I do not need to operate my camera shooting flowers, insacts or street head and shoulder with those settings, why can't I shoot with the setting of F2.8 and an ISO of 200 in a normal lighting condition ?<br>

    When a lens sharpness is above F4 then that lens is having a problem my friend and the manfacturer are trying to cover it up and come so quick with a modified one , this is not technology upgrade at all, it has another name but I do not know what it is called on internet community .</p>

    <p>Again my friend, I honestly approciate your input and yes I will try more and more to learn and improve my self and I asure you that you will never find me posting an image which need tilting and shifting.</p>

    <p>My best regards my friend .</p>

    <p>My friend <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=5732861">J Williamson</a>, salam alikom and thank you a lot for your input to the thread, I will have to drive down to Dubai as soon as I reach home, you might know my friend it is only seven hours drive drive from Qatar, I am going to buy the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 HSM, I always had a great experince with this lens, smaller in size . less in weight and faster to respond with the camera, the F2.8 with the sigma is a real F2.8 and will do maintain sharp focus, it is very simllier to the canon 70-200mm f2.8 , the nikon one I have expeinced it being more bolky and its extra weight adds on its poor sharpness where you need to operate at higher shutter speed to compensate for that.<br>

    I have tested both lenses this afternoon on the same camera with the same set up and at a matter of only a mint to switch from one lens to another, the sigma is a Thai friend of mine here, the result would shake Nikon by all means.<br>

    I will post them on as soon as my friend put the technical data on the images.</p>

    <p>Thank you my friend again and wishing you all of the best.</p>

    <p>My friend <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=323291">Dieter Schaefer</a>, thank you very much for all of the informations you have put to this thread , I do approciate it a lot my friend.<br>

    The canon 70-200MM F2.8 IS which I had, was a very sharp lens, I photographed people on the street in Pattaya and posted many of them on photo.net last year, all of those images being so sharp and crispy.<br>

    On the other hand the Sigma 70-200MM F2.8 HSM is another wonderful lens I worked with, it is not the way the camera been operated by me my friend, it is just the Nikon could well have a problem with their VR system.<br>

    Investing too much money by Nikon to replace the horse lens of Pro. and serious photographers and adding a definiation of VR-II, means something is wrong with VR-I, even if some of the Nikon presentitve on different internet site are saying other wise.<br>

    Again my friend, all of your points did reach me in proper manner and I will make sure I get the banefit out of that.</p>

    <p>Thank you my friend again and wishing you all of the best.</p>

    <p>My friend <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=3840408">Brian Sprague</a>, thank you for posting this information.</p>

    <p>Yes, the first day I bought these two lenses, I did hear a click after shooting, then I asked here and found that this click is just normal, this shows that the VR selonid do operate , engaging and dis engaging the VR realy.<br>

    I will have to test it again and see , on the other hand my friend, many are saying that these lenses given soft results during the tests at F stop 4 or lower.<br>

    The give best result at F 11 or F8, but this is just asemptions from some people as I did not read anything offical about this issue, still there is a room to do this test and see for my self.<br>

    I did call Nik Thailand just one hour back and requested to change my present 70-200mm VR one with the new one and I am prepared to pay the difference, but they did not agree although the lens I have comes with one year warranty.<br>

    I will try to find a way to control this lens as much as its possible till I get back home on 19th. this month and then drive to Dubai and buy again the new lens as the priceses here are far more than what they are in our part of the world, the F5 battery charger is a good example for that.</p>

    <p>Thank you my friend for your input again and wishing you all of the members here all of the best</p>

    <p>Yes my friend Dave I bought from Nik THailand the offical place of Nikon in Thaialand and I have all of the paper of price for it, singed and stamped by Nik Thailand which I can photo copy and post any where Nikon would like.<br>

    I also did not sleep trying to find out where Nikon did state that their 70-200MM F2.8 VR can only be operated by using a tripod, if this is the case Nikon has failed to add this statement in their operating manual.<br>

    My friend, I did call Nik Thailand several time but they did not respond to why the price of the charger and the 2 batteries are so high comparing it to the prices of them on the internet with other dealers.<br>

    I will also call them this morning again if some one from nikon did not so far did read this thread and reported it.<br>

    I only knew the prices different after some one here pointed out here on photo.net, then I had to check for the price with b&h and adorama and other internet sources.</p>

    <p>Thank you a lot my friend, I do approcaite your input and hope Nikon can read all of this.</p>

    <p>Thank you my friend</p>

    <p>I am sorry my friends but I did expect the 70-200 VR should work fine with hand held, why should I need a one tone tripod head to get a sharp image ?</p>
