:D Lot's of people do. :p

A lot of them have university degrees.

And you're a little wrong about the salary. In HK it's AT LEAST $435USD a month (actually a little more). Not bad considering they get their tax paid for them and room and food is often free. Quite a lot earn enough to buy houses etc. back in the Philippines, it's not too bad a job in many ways.

How much do you earn a month again?! :p

ohh? haha they indeed are earning more than I do... I do have some profit shares every now and then though :p

yes many have university degrees but as you know most people only earn minimum wage here and those that are in the province don't even earn minimum.

even me, If I did not have a business here, I would probably be overseas working :lol:

driver maybe? :lol:

Well I'm seriously thinking of getting the 24 PC-E instead of the 14-24. Then getting the SAMYANG 14 2.8

I think I can live with the distortion problems... :D

Adrian, get the nikkor 14-24. The samyang's random distortion all over the place is stupid.


Case in point, same picture, 2 different lenses.

You remember this shot showing the distortion. Really uneven:

If any of my lenses did that, they'd be sent back to nikon.

The 14-24 and 16-35 have barrel distortion. Not as extreme as the Samyang but, it does.

For landscape stuff it won't matter. For shooting buildings it's going to show up.
