except testing for a while only.. now its back in the box.. 

got FF 50mm dy.. but still no FF body

There is no official announcement from Sony.

I would not panic over something DCM says - they have published the Sony A200 price as RM2999! (It was never ever at that price, even retail.)

Seng_Kiat: DT lenses can be used on a FF body. However there will be a black circle around the picture.

On the A850/A900 it will detect Sony DT lenses and activate APS-C mode so you don't capture this black circle in pictures. For non-Sony APS-C lenses you need to activate it manually. Also, you cannot deactivate APS-C mode for Sony DT lenses unless you use M mode and press the lens release button (so it does not detect the lens.)

Come for tomorrow's TT to get a good idea of this!

Ksano: Yes, the Minolta 50mm F1.7 and Sony 50mm F1.8 DT will have the same angle of view on APS-C.

anyone will be bringing 18250, 16105 and 1750 for tmr's TT? i would want to check them out before deciding which to buy.

maybankard.. including petronas card also ka?

You can use the 'Sunny F16' rule. I.e. on bright sunny days outdoors, set your aperture to F16 and your shutter speed to whatever ISO setting you are using e.g.

F16 and using ISO 100 thus your shutter speed should be 1/100

If using F8 then your shutter speed should increase accordingly. F8, ISO100 so shutter speed should be 1/200

In the above photo, the ISO is 200 and aperture is F9 and shutter speed is 1/320 thus can be said as using the Sunny F16 rule lor...

OR

You can try to learn and master the Ansel Adams' zone system  and lock your exposure on a spot that you identify as the optimum mid range exposure level and let the camera take care of the highlights and shadows.
DISCLAIMER:
The above is based on my understanding of the F16 rule and the zone system and may or may not be correct and accurate. If I am mistaken, then by all means please correct me on it. 

Seng_Kiat: DRO Level 5 can do that! Or you can shoot at a certain time where the sky and foreground are balanced.


Or, just avoid the sky altogether:

Seng_Kiat: DRO Level 5, only when at ISO200 or ISO100, and in bright daylight.

Do try EV +1 with DRO Level 5... it has a very different effect on the shadows, and less noise also.
