i smell gun powder...lol....chill guy..im sure each of us has our own unique photography style...so nobody is really right or wrong on the lens choices.. =)

ok...my first attempt shooting a glass...i know it sucks..i dont know how to eliminate the reflection and control the lighting..sigh..any kind soul care to share some knowledge on this?? =D



90mm
F2.8
iso200
1/125
F58@1/4 with DIY Flash Ring

OH YA..i had a CPL from my technician~ =D but not sure how to use it tho..nv use it b4..lol..does it help?

guys..which one better?

1(old)


2(new)

i prefer the green n red texture of the old shot...but i prefer the background n glass(no lesser reflection) of the new shot...!@#$%#@!

the new shot already attach CPL on my 1680 liao..old one was taken with tamron...diameter diff so cannot attach the Adapter ring..

its was soooo troublesome to shoot...lol...i had to off light..shoot..if not ok..on light..pour away the water..fill in new one..clean the water droplets from outside the glass..clear away my finger print..reframe n focus again...close light..shoot..if fail..repeat all over again..!@#$%#$@#$%

dust on sensor / mirror??

anyway...if u send to sony..and its under warranty..its free

if wont affect the IQ and u need to use it badly...i dont think u have any choice left isnt it?

u can use lenspen if u wan...and i confirm sony wont charge u a penny...

send to service center would do =)

i've choosen the one i like among the sucky tries... =)

err..in what format we going to answer the question??strong/weak ? soft/harsh? 1/2/3/4/5?

i'd suggest u buy both if u hav the budget.. =p afterall..F1.4 n F2.8 has a big diff

for portrait wise..i think 50mm / 85mm on apsc is good enough...walk around to compose ur shoot..but if u r saying of taking wedding photos..where the place is usually crowded and u dont have alot time to move around...get tammy...

imma engineer..not a photographer too

each lens is specially build for a purpose....so if u dont know what u gonna shoot..annd just need a all-in-one lens..i'd suggest 1680 / 16105

F58 wireless from top + DIY Flash Ring
tone processed in CS4

arrg...pls do not post any of the pictures taken with 135 STF....i luv..ops..i mean i hate bokeh

flash comes very handy if u do event n portrait(to kill the shadow or fill in lights against strong background)....u can use ur kitty to do event...but if u wanna please your gf with some portrait..i would suggest a F42 + 50mm F1.8...this should fit ur budget

definitely
70200 portrait...awwwwwwwwwwwww

300 over budget is not alot..u can always buy a 2nd hand F42? or save first..it wont take long to save 300bucks right..it worth the wait...

my 5th off day going to finish soon =( and i can predict i'd be overwhelmed with my work tomorrow.. TT_TT

=)

nice try i'd say..but it looks like its slightly under exposed...and u might wanna increase a lil bit of the contrast/sharpness in ur creative style...or do it during ur post process..
