Quick question. Where did you guys buy the CPL and UV filter? Looking for a forumer or shop to start off my photography project wink.gif.

shashinki has soooooo many empty stock.

I also notice each filter has a more expensive version. regular kenko filter will be rm30, but the multicoat version will be up to 97 or more. Does it realllly matter for a P&S camera like LX3 or save the quality stuff to DSLR?
*
save it for DSLR. use LX3 as a P&S as it was designed for. Adding a filter will need an adapter that makes it no less bulky as a DSLR (and $$$ too). If u really care about quality, get an entry level DSLR (RM2000+ 0nly). If u like it for fun, get all the accessories and don't worry too much about the $$$. - any extra glass put in front will affect the quality, but then any photo will be limited by the worst piece of parts used. So don't be too calculative, but dun spend too much on LX-3 too. For me, i'll get the multicoated one. but i will not spend more than RM200 on a piece of filter for LX-3.

slowly buy lar, not hurry one mar....

u are lucky cos u buy LX3, if u compare with DSLR kaki, your money vapor in minutes. DSLR gears are far more expensive and more poison then this! laugh.gif
*
Nonono.. I have a D80 with a few lens and filters for years but not as poison as this!! It might be old but still LX3 cannot beat the picture quality. BUT!!! It is sleeping sweetly since i bought my LX3. I seldom have the urge to buy a flash for my old Nikon, but my LX3 has lots of toys to play with. -- OK, I admit. They sleep with the Nikon most of the time tongue.gif I'm just too lazy to drag the bulk out with me.

i think both r in focus. Just that the contrast of the color makes "pm" jump out.

yeah, it comes with a shoulder strap. but mostly i use the camera pouch hanged onto my pants via a carabiner, so the strap is pretty much useless for me lol...
*
I usually use a carabiner to clip the Original hard "shell" onto my belt loop. Not bad if u change the shoulder strap to a small handphone loop. Until I can find a replacement bag to fit in my LX3 with the adapter & filters.. (I'm getting a Crumpler 2 or 3 million dollar soon)

but for me, i dun even use it after i received it.. only use the uv lens to protect..and other lens like 2.5x & 3x zoom lens, wide angle lens all sleep in my cupboard.. so maybe u should really think it is useful to you or not..for me, i feel like a bit waste after i own it..
*
Me too, never actually use the tele and wide lens ssince i bought them.. But I didn't regret.. It is nice to have them. I'm sure one day when I have the luxury of time, I will start to explore them icon_rolleyes.gif

Keep it ler. Many SLR users purposely go out n buy LX3 sumore.

Yeh! LX3 is a good companion to DSLR. At least it is a very good investment for quick Macro shots. When u go out to buy the $$$ Macro lens (and find out how difficult to perfect the shoots) u will miss your LX3.

not only macro. It's awesome for product shots coz of the deep DOF. Product shot with FF SLR like my 5D MkII, u will be crying for more n more light at f16.
that uncle is me lar. laugh.gif
*
5D MKII.. WOW sweat.gif Thanksfor the info uncle!! I learn another valuable lesson! and have another reason to love my LX3.

Like I said b4, not oly the technical advantage, but it is this forum with uncle(s) that makes our LX3 special!! icon_rolleyes.gif

Gentlemen!

Would you know if there will be a predecessor to the LX3 anytime soon?

Because I don't wanna get the LX3 and after a few days I see a LX4 on the newspaper lol. I know its impossible to keep up with technology but hey, no harm being a smart consumer no? ;D
*
New products will keep coming, LX2, LX3, LX4??.... Who knows when? LX3 is already 1 years+ old. Sure it will stop production soon. Good things will become legend even long after it is phased out.

If you worried too much, then keep waiting.. brows.gif LX5 will come soon after LX4. brows.gif and who knows LX series will stop at LX3?? Then taken over by GF???

Sometime.. dun think too much with your brain, follow where ur feeling is, that's photography.. After all, photography is all about "the split moment": like owning a LX3 -now brows.gif

guys wanna ask it is worth it for me to get this camera as i heard it is 1 of the best compact camera compared to those dslr. I have no photography expriences and the reason for me getting this is because i will be studying overseas and i wish to have a camera to record my life over there.

1/100 is still too bright... i read somewhere the shutter speed shud be like 1/X, where X = my focal length. in this case its 60mm (shud it be 12.5mm?)..but not sure if this applies to LX3 or not haha. anyway is it better to use tele or wide end? n how close should i be?
*
U might want to consider to make use of ND filter to slow down the shuttle speed.

I support that thumbup.gif LX-3 is not like Nikon and Canon DSLR that have many 3rd party flash with reasonable price . FalconEye is "just nice" to match with LX3: Not a top class flash, not very accurate, but match with LX3's "standard", and not too $$$. The only thing to consider - the size of it! flex.gif

uhuh....from ur expression, i m guessing it must be something freaking expensive....hahaha

Went to the camera shop and looked around.
Choices seem to be:
1) FL36
2) FL36R (not sure what's the difference  hmm.gif )
3) FL360
*
If i'm not mistaken FL-36 is obsolete, replaced by FL-36R (R= wireless remote with Olympus DSLR). That price is about 2 times of FalconEye's. FL-360 is 3 times of FlaconEye's ??

Laichong shows the face because he is doing bulk for FalconEye mah brows.gif I bought one from him and is a happy user now rclxm9.gif

can anyone reccomend me a good batt...?

I use Sanyo Eneloop. very good to retain battery power for occasional user like me. (Some battery has high power but discharge too fast) Eneloop is a balance for me, and it has less (although not none doh.gif ) imitation in the market yet.
