- able to play movie file with 1080 or 4K format, H264, H265 etc...

Car suggestion from RM115-RM125k

jason_tan1980 — Sun, 05 Aug 2018 08:16:12 +0800

Hi all automotive experts here,

I am looking for a family car from price range of RM11k to RM125k.

Regular (C segment) Sedan or SUV with bigger luggage compartment is my primary consideration.

My current consideration as following:
1. Volkswagen Jetta (fair price, but the model mysteriously disappear from VW official page, is it not offering anymore?)
2. Ford Focus (see news from Paultan saying it is not going to enter Malaysia market due to not performing sales....?)
3. Subaru XV (very little/small luggage compartment)
4. Honda Civic (lots of honda car having body rusty issue, my current Honda City (2009 version) is having such issue, and other new City and Jazz facing same issue as well)
5. Toyota...good car but less spec, and with higher road tax
6. Mazda 3, like the design, but heard that the service center is terrible.

Looking for some suggestions, thanks!

Extension tube or Macro filter

jason_tan1980 — Tue, 31 Mar 2015 15:58:14 +0800

Recently just bought a Nikon 85mm F/1.8, found out that the focus minimum distance is quite far, making some small size subject (food etc) become quite small in the photos.

right now I am looking for option of reducing the focus distance of this lens, either extension tube or macro filter.
But I have no experience on these tools.

Really appreciate if some experts here can share out your experience in using these tools, what brand is recommended, and price range as well.
Thanks!

I enjoy food same as I enjoy photography.
When I met photography, it was such a great spark when I combine it with my beloved food and various delicacy.
