you can find many awesome shots in the lx3 gallery thread

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/869571

press and hold lol. while holding both the < and middle button, press focus.

same goes to the earlier step. while holding the up and focus key, turn it on. lol.

lower the shutter speed, increase the F number

alternatively, you can choose the shutter priority mode and set the shutter speed slower. the cam will adjust the aperture accordingly, as long as its not over-specced.

got a few ppl selling 1550 in garage sales wad lol.

IMO, just leave the lens naked, and get a lenspen. if someone touch the lens, can use the lenspen to wipe it off in seconds!

beats using your clothes/cloth risking scratching the lens.

most camera shops carry lenspens. its a pretty popular accessory. more of a necessity for me

get the lenspen mini II. smaller and should fit in a camera pouch nicely.

try checking out yamiya or shashinki also lol.

thats a full sized wan lol.

the lenspen mini's head is slightly smaller and half the length.

i think it should be full manual gua.

Went to a local camera shop just now and got to demo a GN50 Olympus flash unit



With a flash THAT huge, you'd be holding the flash instead of the camera!

A test shot from inside the shop with the GN50 flash. I can only rotate the camera counter clockwise to take a portrait pic with the flash, else, if you hold the camera rotated clockwise, you can't even hold it properly!



the 2nd shot blinded me, and i doubt it was full power

have to wait till midnight i think. maybe they folowing US time lol.

but is it able to TTL? lol.

that price i think the Metz more worth it gua...

my local camera shop quote me 750, and i haven't nego yet

good for u then. lol.

then 24mm consider wider angle than ur ixus lol.

wah, ianho, just realised that ur lc1 mod was featured on cnet in january

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10131838-1.html

or get a Ricoh LC-1 automatic lens cap, which for me, just arrived this afternoon



Fully zoomed out


Fully zoomed in


took me ard 30 mins fiddling with the perfect balanced for the thickness and location of the tape

now theres only a VERY VERY slight dark spot on the bottom right hand corner of the camera with the flash on, and ZERO vignetting on full zoom. used 4 layers of tape, unlike the 3 recomended on ianho's blog.

and i think i've just added 200 to the pwrcnt in just 1 day

yeah, the damned cap is addictive!

btw, any idea on how to get rid of the dark spot on the lower right corner while fully zoomed out?

its very minor, but still kinda distracting

hey guys, saw this on yamiya.

http://www.yamiya.com.my/store/product.php...&cat=346&page=1

what you guys think?

plan on buying it lol.
