Will be in Bangkok e.t.a 5 pm localtime. I’m having a traning about Local Roaming Number (LRN). Taking my D40x but leave my T60 at home :p
Hehehe, I think this is my first time going abroad without a Thinkpad in my backpack. I dont even bring any backpack :p I’m 2.5kg lighter hehehehe.
Unfortunatelly, my user just called, she want to launch a chrismast event end of this week. Hello, i’ve already ask about this since 2 months ago. Also reminded it again couple weeks to submit and finalize everything on first week of November. Why u call me 5 days before lauch date. Huhuhu they dont even informe me about timeline/schedule. The operational people will complain to my departement if they’re bypassed again. And now, cant do much without my Thinkpad hehehe :p And I’m not in the mood working after office hour from internet cafe. Wanna go hunting pictures. But I’ll fix your mess on friday. Ok? :p

HSM = Hyper-Sonic Motor, This lens uses a motor driven by ultrasonic waves to provide a quiet, highspeed AF
OS = OS (Optical Stabilizer) Function
EX = EXpensive hehehehe The exterior of this lens is EX-finished to denote the superior build and optical quality, and to enhance its appearance.
APO = In order to attain the highest quality images, the APO lens has been made using special low-dispersion (SLD) glass and is designed to minimize color aberration
ASP = The aspherical lens complex allows freedom of design, improved performance, a reduced number of component lenses and a compact size
DG = The most suitable lenses for 35mm film single-lens reflex cameras, as well as for digital SLR cameras. Sigma’s development of the DG (Digital) range of lenses has concentrated on the correction of distortion and aberrations. Suitable for digital and analogue cameras
DC = These are special lenses designed so that the image circle matches the smaller size of the image sensor of most digital SLR cameras
