probably in your dreams.. hehehe.. it will improve and block harmful rays... but no detail improvements...

yaya,i'm using cheap hoya filter now. mainly to protect the lens only.

cheap filters will screw up ur IQ. It introduces lotsa reflections between the front element n filter. I fully agree with mr memorable, buy CARL ZEISS for Sony lens!

Really eh? Gonna try take a shot with/without filter to see the difference d.
Currently no budget for good filter yet T.T

any xx-200 lenses below 500? other than the sal 55-200?

budget2 macro =P

BTW, the sky today is hazy.. i was thinking, if i go to places that has mountains and becomes so hazy.. it kills the pictures la.. other then using polarizing filter, photoshop cannot edit out the hazyness kan?

polarizing filter expensive ka?

is there any cheap UV filter like cheap as in RM20? wanna use it as a protector and also to create the "dreamy" look.. by putting vaseline or oil =P i reaallyy wanna try it after reading it out somewhere...

my hoya filter also cheap, less than rm100. bought since i hv my a300.

using vaseline or oil??? r u sure it can be done? might need to use detergent to clean ur filter, y not pp it ?

any one can teach me how to setting a simple product studio+lighting? need how many light or flash or stand.. wer can buy the lighting .. thanks.

Many..Sony 75-300..tamron 70-300..sigma 70-300..KM75-300..but 2nd hand la..
But my recommendation still 55-200..fast..and sharp..if plus raynox
Tamron 70-300 got macro 1:2 and 0.95 minimum focus so if pair with raynox also good..it struggle in low light but you will not use af if with raynox so it will ok..

budget2 macro =P

CPL cannot kill the haze...it is true it can give more blue in ur pic..but not that effective to kill the haze..
When using CPL..shutter speed become less as less light enter ur camera..
However it will give some nice colour and the contrast also become better..

Depending on ur lens diameter CPL can cost from RM80-3xx.
Bought mine RM 120 for my 62mm lens

probably need to get a good filter when i buy 2470 as well...probably a uv + a cpl.. T_T

check the garage sales...someone is selling cheap KM75300

The price hovers between 50-700 depending on filter size, quality and thickness.

william how much u sell the lens cap?

Go to the shop in Mutiara Complex at Jln Ipoh. They have everything u need for studio things. They have complete product shot tables too.

ianho, roughly how much does it cost for a basic setting..

Those tables they sell are proper pro set ups. IIRC about rm600 cheapest. U can actually set up ur own for very cheap oni. Go book shop get some cheap white plastic sheets for few dollars. Go Ikea buy 2 of the fluorescent table lamps for rm50 each, kautim. Of course not so nice but then for rm100 cant complain much lor. Those tables u buy oredi havent count lights sumore. By the time u add those pro lights it's gonna cost at elast rm1000 i think.

Haha handling both gear at the same time is not easy!

Speaking about CPL, I notice my cheap Hoya CPL tends to make my photos a tad softer. Apart from all the elimination of glare, deeper blues and greens, better looking clouds etc, basically the camera is shooting through an extra piece of glass, so I guess quality of the filter does matter a lot.
