aiyo...if she nvr show face then i think i will go home with an extra lens or f58 liao lo...

nvm la since she need a laptop for her work...hope she dun break up v me after 1 month lo..

back to photography plz >.<

seriously if u wan me to sleep v anyone for 1 night juz to get f42...i think i would... T_T

WTT> body wit F42

Im thinking of getting some eneloop batteries... but Imedeon is cheaper. I think I'll order Imedeon la... 

Buy Varta la. (: I using 2500mah. Quite lasting also. (: I saw Jusco selling 50 for 4pcs.

LSD anot i dono la. But it can fire about 400+ full power flash on my F42. Quite good already la. Doubt you'll get batteris and not use the item wan ma.

is Varta a LSD battery or just the normal rechargeable?

wei this is Sony Alpha thread... dont talk about LSD (Lower Slip Differential) please.. that's only available in Fast & Furious forum...

My Olight (lampu suluh) that is ~12x brighter than normal incandecant (mentol biasa) flashlight
My mom uses my eneloop for her P&S kodak digital
Im thinking of replacing almost all (if not entirely) my dependence on normal alkaline and other non rechargeable 1.2V batteries... Im going green... 

Using LSD over longer period... is cheaper.
eg Eneloop or Imedion cost say $50-66/4pc ie per pc is $12.50 - $15.50... can recharge 1000x with each recharging cost maybe ~1 sen
Normal battery AA cost say ~$1.00
Therefore, after around 15x recharging, you will already start to save your $$$
LSD eg Eneloop
1 month lose ~10% of its charge
3 months lose ~10-13% of its charge (ie still retain about 87-90% of its charge)
12 months lose ~15-20% (ie still have 80-85% capacity remaining)

other non LSD
after 3 month charge remain ~70%
after 12 months charge remain 0%

-----------
nb: although this is not directly related to Sony, but alphanatics can start to consider using rechargeables for their flash... if possible... lets go green, and save our planet   

Same lar... point is you want the light to be a tight beam and only light up small area and don't want spill light anywhere else. How small/big the area up to you lor...

You want bigger area mah make bigger 'corong' opening lor. Want smaller area mah make smaller 'corong' opening lor. Just that you have to be careful not to let light spill out from anywhere. Buy expensive snoot mah have many functions lor...

Oklar... wanna sleep now... see ya guys in the morning ler.
