millenia3000 : what do you mean by A200 pop-up not efficient? My previous exp with A200 and F42 is very satisfying, the wireless can be triggered "almost" anywhere and far away from the camera too

QUOTE(raist86 @ Jul 23 2009, 04:31 PM) Use shutter speed above 1/160. The sensor will not register the pop up flash. that is the max speed for the popup right? (x sync speed)   |

QUOTE(hezda @ Jul 24 2009, 06:48 PM) Suddenly had the urge to get a full frame camera... luckily I cannot afford it... lol... why do you need 200mm and why do you need macro? 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. if u can answer that then u know which to get .....both are different purpose lenses |

QUOTE(tanjq87 @ Jul 27 2009, 11:44 AM) kit lens replacement =.= for me:i'm also having hard time to choose btw tamron 1750 cz1680 sal 16105 sigma 1770 sigma 2470 how to choose?  tamron 1750 - nice constant aperture, QC abit scary (focusing issue), noisy cz1680 - super good range, nice aperture and Zeiss printed on...i will save $ for this lens but RM2k+ for a DT lens,sal 16105 - super super good range but i heard f/5.6 starts at 55mm, anyone to clarify this? sigma 1770 - nice lens, sharp and fun to play with, cheap too, but the EX (IINM) finishing is  sigma 2470 - super heavy ...if i were to buy this, it will be the latest 2470 HSM coz heard that its good... conclusion- save for 1680 or just make use of ur kitlens hehe |

QUOTE(croomaniac @ Jul 27 2009, 12:00 PM) The round thing is a booster ker? I thought it is only a magnet (dunno what the magnet is for - if it is really a magnet).. huh is it? i was told by some engineers long long time ago that it is actually a booster hahah like ur VGA cables or other cables... EDIT: Ok, got it.. it is a magnet to prevent static electricity..  Refer >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299642 but then if i use a cable without that round thingy, it is much slower hahah achew: i believe PC shops have it |

QUOTE(tanjq87 @ Jul 27 2009, 01:12 PM) 2470+uwa lol thats around 4k! haha 2470 HSM is almost 4k ler, If i were to buy that, i rather save a few more months to get cz2470 haha but thats too far to reach.  albert got 1770? actually gear strip will only occur when u put the lens in MF and the body in AF right? or am i wrong? need to call kysham to test his 2470 again! lets organise a tt to test out kit lens replacement QUOTE(tanjq87 @ Jul 27 2009, 01:42 PM) oh, so better don't get the lens that are prone to gear stripping. I always thought it's only mishandling of the AF/MF clutch. Sigma 1770 doesnt have the switch or AF/MF on the lens. Do cz1680, sal16105 and sigma 1770 have the MF overwrite mechanism? So far I know tamron 1750 has no such mechanism. 36mm and 50mm is still very different la.. maybe i should tape my 1870 to 24 and walkaround but true la, one of the most important question i always ask myself. "Can I live with the widest 24mm?" "Would I regret after getting 2470?" I guess you answered my questions. Yes I think I will regret unless I get another ultra wide angle. and 1680,16105 and sigma 1770 doesnt have FTM(full-time-manul). I believe only sony with SSM has that feature, correct me if i`m wrong QUOTE(tanjq87 @ Jul 27 2009, 02:26 PM) If let say gear stripped, send for warranty, would it be still prone to gear stripping? after warranty doesnt mean wont strip right? but HSM version is double the price  the HSM has very very good review and many said that it is better than the canon L and sony Zeiss. Corrected: Sigma 1770 doesnt come with AF/MF switch...sorry for the typo This post has been edited by Sp00kY: Jul 27 2009, 04:38 PM |

QUOTE(croomaniac @ Jul 27 2009, 03:50 PM) HSM better than Zeiss? Wah.. first time heard this..  QUOTE(albnok @ Jul 27 2009, 03:54 PM) SpOOkY: Er, as I remember the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 EX DC for Sony does not have an AF/MF switch on the lens, as it does not have a lens motor. The Canon and Nikon versions with HSM, would have this AF/MF switch. hhaha yeah sorry it was a typo, i was surprised to see your reply too, I am eager to see how the Sigma 24-70mm HSM is in real life. I know (with picture proof) that the Zeiss 24-70mm SSM is leaps and bounds over the Sigma 24-70mm non-HSM! sigma 1770 doesnt have hahaha... hmm...i din not claim that it is better than zeiss, but according to alot of website, they say that 24-70 HSM is very good and some claimed that it is better than sony/canon. I think perhaps the price adi win hands down.....perhaps the rating is price/value over quality? not sure, but the price and size is tempting. IINM, it is using 82mm filter sigh..odd size.. |
