QUOTE(ryzan76 @ May 17 2009, 03:28 PM) i never had tamron or sigma 70300...but i had try sal75300 with raynox...the image not so sharp..... from what i can see on google.. sal75300 looses in IQ to both tamron and sigma. but comparing sigma & tamron 70-300 is quite hard as it is very much similar.  |

congrates for the V26
 laju nya  I seek advise. I shot this photo at "fish massage" eco tourism Sungai Moroli, Ranau (one of Sabah's lesser known attraction site... can read here ... http://www.sabahtourism.com/sabah-malaysia...i-fish-massage/ ). I had wanted to snap photo of the fish nibbling around my feet but as you can see (or you cant see  ) ... cant really see the fish. For this kind of shots, any advise? The main intention is to show the fish swimming / nibbling around my feet.  Appreciate your inputs... |

I thought ring flash is for macro. The Sony ring flash only allow for certain len diameter right? How about 77mm?

ASAP: The big ring lights can be used for portraits, but the Sony one is a macro ring light.

wah..ASAP is into fashion photography?? =D
i saw some review on the 'real' ring flash vs some diy-ed one...to be frank not much diff...other than the 'real' ring flash could deliver the flash to much further distance... okay..talk so much about ring flash..i've decided tonite i gonna come out with some portrait shots...not sure whether it'd sucess tho..lol..just a rough idea in my head now  This post has been edited by achew: May 17 2009, 06:01 PM |

No more kit lens shadow I am quite looking forward to the HVL-F20AM also for my A900. Anybody have trouble accessing the bigger images? I can't get anything beyond the thumbnails, getting an error instead.  QUOTE(alpha_company @ May 17 2009, 04:26 PM) 1.
