Hepi busday dingenius hahaha.

Suddenly had the urge to get a full frame camera... luckily I cannot afford it... lol...

Guys, is the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 a good lens ah? I need a superzoom lens... but on the other hand, should I get a macro lens instead? Like the SP90.

why do you need 200mm and why do you need macro? if u can answer that then u know which to get .....
both are different purpose lenses

for me, i want both.. but i need bright tele more than a macro

Happy birthday din

some tele lens have macro function. those still cannot beat sp90 right?

I have not seen a zoom lens with 1:1 mag yet...maybe there is one

i believe that is not true macro.. kinda like a misleading label.. it is more like a close-up.. for a true macro, you should get 1:1 magnification

no conan flash has optical slave function.
the only nokin flash with slave function is sb-800 and sb-900 (su-4 mode). sb-600 cannot use at all.

even triggering sb-800/sb-900 has issues with synchronization. flash will fire, but sometimes it just does not sync with your exposure.
if you use manual flash on the pop-up (a700 only), flash sync is not a problem
if you use flashgun on your camera set to manual power, flash sync is not a problem too
however, if you intend to mix sony wireless with slave flashes like sb-800/sb-900, sometimes it will sync, sometimes it does not. i think you have to make the sb-800/900 'learn' the wireless TTL signal on Alpha before you can use them... but i have not really experiment this yet.

do not want poison!

rm5.5k only mah.....

Tam 70200 a good lens...a good portrait lens too. If u r too keen on macro than sp90 but generally my sp90 is underutilised. Shoot oncein a while only.

Urge for full frame? A900? I was surprised of the a900 capability esp in raw format...yesterday I shot with no flashgun iso1600 lowlight ....in a dewan (anak wayang ...employed by diyana's sister), I was soo surprised that i can hardly find any noise.

haha boss... so what new project you doing ? faster post some picture to poison ppl la.

Hey there guys... After much snooping around in my (very limited nowadays) free time, I found out that the normal, single cell Alpha charger is the BC-VM10.

Anybody know where I can get one (or two - spare, I'm seriously dying without being able to snap... at all)? Anybody can help me ask a Sony Centre about it?

As for myself, the nearest Sony Centre with adequate Alpha Accessories lineup is at least 3 hours away and I can't get off work - even tomorrow...

The two cell charger is a no-go. It's heavy, huge and frig expensive...

Hi, Do u guys found out that recent news photos on Lowyat.net home page is a bit different compare to lasttime? Pretty sharp.
News for the Sony Visa, Kaspersky, Philips , Jabra looks like taken with the same camera... from the orangez camp?

Just give a call to the Sony Support line... then register by the phone in 5min will be done.

Ahhh. Snooting is fun. (: Got myself a replica of what templar has done. Flash Grid. (: "diamond" shaped light.
