Luminous Clinic in Pavilion

Hey guys, I am wondering if anybody tried these guys out, Luminous Clinic. They don't seem to have a website and their facebook is not often updated: https://www.facebook.com/luminousclinicmalaysia

Any info would be nice, past experience with skin treatment and lotion/ oil quality.

Teleconverter or Telephoto

I own a Sony 70-200mm f2.8 (SAL-70200G), the most expensive lens I ever owned and am loving it. But the 200mm doesn't give me enough zoom. And I have taken interest in the 500mm f/8 (SAL-500F80).

Now my question is, should I get a 2x teleconverter (SAL20TC) to use with my existing 70-200mm lens or should I get the 500mm lens.

The telecon reduces the aperture by 2 steps effectively bringing the 70-200mm to f5.6. And i've heard that it starts causing some noticeable vignetting (I wonder if auto focus still works).

70-200mm f2.8

500mm f/8

2.x Teleconverter

The purpose of the telephoto lens is to allow me to capture wildlife, birds and plants and also fast action such as F1/ MotoGP. Do you guys know any alternative lens? Budget not exceeding RM 6,000.

Anyone knows where I can modify Sony Alpha DSLRs for taking infrared in Malaysia or around Asia?

Thanks.
