I like the second picture. In fact I find the defocused grass a rather unique signature of the picture. Seperating it from the typicals. That's purely my opinion though. Nevertheless, great shots you've there!

i tried(open n play with it) some imitations b4 i bought my joby version...imo...the cheap version might b able to tahan as heavy as orig one...but do note the rubber legs/joints might not b able to 'suck' on the surface as good as joby version...try to touch orig one and imitation one u'll get wad i mean...

but again..there r too many imitation g.pod on the market....the one i tried might b one of the bad one...

done on the experiment, look like the sharpness was improve so much by using tripod and timer 2sec. with small or big aperture, it not much impact on aperture.

i am starting suspect that may due to OOF or shaking hand caused this sharpness issue in 100% crop. wonder how are you guy shooting photo that can have 100% sharpness when in 100% crop if shoot in event and carry a tripod, i guess just done on setup tripod and havent press on the shutter, all ppl already done all and move on

please help to verify the pictures, does these photos look in 100% view have the so call good sharpness? TQ!!!

one best fit view picture & one 100% cropped picture

jimlim007 : Wah! If I sell my F42 how will I poison other people to have 2 flashes? Sorry bro, my F42 is not for sale.

As for your pic, no wonder lar you say not sharp! If that's the place where you focussed on, then the camera also confused on where to place the focus point exactly. There's the heater lines all across the glass and there, the card behind the glass and water droplets on it's surface and it's translucent... all make for very confusing focussing.

Contrast also low so it's no surprise your pic did not come out as sharp as it could be. I'm sure if you could find more contrasty focus points, your pic will be just fine.

Do ignore me on the last photo

you bending terbalik on the 1st and 2nd photo???

haha..i was staring at the reflection too...guess its more attracting than the car itself..lol

like that need to shoot on other thing wish to buy a used f42 flash for dummy user like me you can have 2 F58

ur pics looks ok to me.

Set ur camera to focus priority mode so that it will only allow you to shoot after focus has been locked.

As long as its in focused and u did not move much, the pic shud be sharp adi...try shooting at higher shutter speed. whatlens are u using? 18-70? try shooting at least 1/60 at 18mm f/3.5

I don't need 2 F58. Not right now at least. Plus I like the combi of one F42 and one F58 so that I can get the LCLY Canikon gearhead users to STFU when I say i can get 2 Sony flashes for the price of one of their SB-900 or 580-EX II and get to play around with wireless flash!!!

achew.. yeap.. the reflection is much more interesting than the car for me too... LOL...
i was like totally ignored the car~

so guys.... i wonder how much a CPL could help with this reflection problem at car shoots~

ps: sigh... my visa to buy a CPL was retracted

Holy cow. Slept from last night 10pm til about 1pm just now and lied down on bed till few minutes back. No more fever. But my back is like all aching. LOL. Anyway so the immitation gorrilapod can also be trusted besides the rubbery feet only la?

i just got this lens today... very nice... still not fully tested it yet especially the macro part.... coz bz playing with sp90.... not sure whether it worth....

ouch..i felt that.. this is very true though. To be honest, I like f58 very much.... But nokiN CLS is damn nice (if i have several flashes la )

to me the ability to grap is pretty impt...usually i hang it on railing...tree branch..blablabla...so if it cant grap...den ur camera would fall anytime(at least crappy tripod wont collapse by itself without wind*usually*..)

but if u only need something to stand still..no need to do some fancy stunts...den probably don need to get a orig one...

Yea I just totally need a small tripod to take small stuffs. So will most likely will get the fake wan. Millenia3000, which shop you went to ar? Opposite Crumpler KLCC?
