Chiggy, I got the same bag... wondering how you fit a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 into the middle compartment

You make big hole in the middle compartment?

APS-C has a Crop Factor of x 1.5
FF doesn't have Crop Factor which means x 1.0

So...
18mm Focal Length on APS-C = 18mm x 1.5 = 27mm
28mm Focal Length on APS-C = 28mm x 1.5 = 42mm

28mm Focal Length on FF = 28mm x 1.0 = 28mm
42mm Focal Length on FF = 42mm x 1.0 = 42mm

So using 28mm on APS-C (28mm x 1.5 = 42mm) is like 42mm on a FF.

Correct, some are 1.6x and some are 1.3x

Very true, back then 'IF' I had the budget (before A200/A300/A350 was released)... probably I'm at Pentax ship instead of Alpha.. Haha, but no regrets.



Usually for small stuff like that, I would just buy from Shashinki or Yamiya, unless I had some other things I want to get as well. Not worth the hassle for just a UV Filter.

RM 10 per entry.

Oh, you're kinda lucky! Anyway, just to make it clear... it's RM 10 per person, not per vehicle.

It's a must go! Definitely can see Albert hanging around at gigs.

It's not about showing off gears, it's more to knowledge sharing

Too bad already had an appointment, wasn't able to join

Kul | Mo0 playes B'ball? Let's play next time, I got my own team. Haha... (OT)

Anyway guys, I'm in a stuck situation right now. Looking at my gears below, I primarily uses 28-75 for wedding shoot and it's definitely not wide enough for tight places (e.g. room).

I'm quite stuck on what type of wide angle lens I should get. My cravings are for f/2.8 lenses like the 16-35 CZ for low lighting situation (have to forget about it due to budget constraint). I mainly see that Tamron and Sigma had small aperture which isn't attractive (perhaps I'm too picky). So, I would like to have some feedback on what kind of budget performing wide angle lens that I can get for Wedding Shoot. The Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 seems to be a good choice but kinda make my lens line up a little weird.

Also, I probably would get a F58 as well. Need another flash for backup purposes... hence I have lower budget for a lens.

That's what I thought of too! Tried the Tamron on 40D previously. Think I'll better invest in a F58 first and rent a UWA if really need something wide.

Something like this?

The feel of it like doomsday.


I accidentally cut my middle finger with this. C&C whether the lighting is good enough

Too bad, I only had the white backdrop (the light bounce around makes it grayish). No time to find a different color backdrop, shall go look for diff color tomm.

I'm only limited to popup flash and a F42, Creative Lighting not much of a possibility. Wanted to try the "achew" style using background spot lights, but doesn't seem right with this. Oh, and it's non-PPed.

Ok.

Actually, the backdrop paper is not that white Thanks for the input.

Instead of shooting in liveview, try OVF. See, if you get the same issue. If it doesn't... likely it's the LiveView sensor is out of orientation (means, send for replacement/warranty).
