In Hong Kong Today

[gstark]

One of our members, Vicareyus, is currently in Hong Kong. Today he met with Poon, and apparently, a good time was had by all.

ah the famous Mr Poon. Is he aware how famous he is no this forum.

How come he never pops by to say hello?

If that is Mr Poon, we better tell him there's a bit of moire in his sports jacket. I assume that was a D70 shot.

Thinking the same thing Dargan, plain jackets for camera salesmen. Seems genuinely happy to see Vicareyus, wonder if that was a potential purchase by Vicareyus or just amazement (what looks like a 500mm on the desk)

That hunkin' big piece of glass - if that's the lens hood reversed on, I'd say it looks strangely like a 200-400 f/4 VR IF ED that's got Birddog's name on it. With its accompanying five digit price tag.

Looks like Vicareyus got to meet the dream maker - the one who makes many of our dreams and lusts come true.

Onyx,
You're exactly right, it's a Nikon 200-400VR, that's the one he's going to FedEX to me but he got one of his customer in Europe want it Urgently so he rang me and asked if I can let it goes for that customer first. I agreed, so the next one is definetely for myself, took him 3 months for get it in, he said the next one will be mid of December and I'm going to tell you this:
IT"S US$5500.00 including shipping, just count every sleep now myself
The 300/2.8 VR is will be in his stock soon, can't wait!!!

[Glen]

That is one nice price versus the $10k here Birddog. Congratulations, with mid December delivery looks like there will be a directors bonus this year

Which one is Vic and which one is Mr Poon?


Yeah, I know, I'm a goose, just ignore me

Vic is the one with the stethoscope.

Poon is the one whol looks like a salesman.

Hi everyone. Just got back from Hong Kong on Thu morning. Had a great time. Will post some images when I get some time to do some sorting and processing.

Yes I met Mr Poon as you see (thanks Gary for posting the photos). He's a very nice man and will be coming to our Christmas dinner, so I encourage everyone that can to come along (should be a great night!).

Mr Poon gave me some great prices on the following purchases:
- Nikon 24-120VR - I love this lens and use it all the time now. It is terrific - Gary I think you'll agree.
- Nikon 70-300ED (essentially to replace the one I loaned from my brother and chipped the front element - hopefully he won't want it back for ages!!)
- Nikon SB800

That's my shopping for the year (thank goodness a new year is not far away! well...maybe that Gitzo tripod I saw at Bird-dogs place this morning may have to be a christmas present??......

Vic

Who am I to argue with you?

Welcome back.
