I think i will do d same.. not pro enough to get fullframe.. later my pictures lower down the Alpha standard

buying A700 + another 3k lens = A850. either i buy A850 n shoot without any lens (i only hv 50mm to go with it)~ or i get A700 n get a CZ 1680

Yeap yeap correct.

Congrats achew!!!!! The early preparation journey to meet ur A850~

Really very good price. wait 2 years later mayb i will get when d price drop.. buahahaha

So u bought the 16105? did u actually test the 1750?? im oso dilemma between dis 2. but 18250 is not within my consideration.


milvtec selling one for F42.. im thinking to get one from him too...together with the tamron 1750 f2.8, mayb checkout some of his bags too

u hv no choice but to use the pop up flash to trigger wireless flash.. What i do usually is to decrease the power of pop up flash to minimun... then use my hand to block d popup flash. most of the time i find the pop up flash undesireable needed... so i do tat. giving the subject a more dramatic lighting effect from the F42 itself

sorry . i'll like to know wat is UGPM stand for? hope this question doesnt pollute the thread.

I love this...

Oright goodnite everyone... Have a nice day tomolo.. n to those anticipated to get the 850. Enjoy~!

UGPM stands for You got PM. lol i also hope this answer doesnt pollute the thread

Added on September 11, 2009, 2:35 amfinally i got time to upload the pics from the TT to fb =P..

So heres what i learnt from the TT. Most of the people already know this, but this info actually helps the new user.. Someone like me who is new, stepped into the dslr world not knowing i need to purchase all these stuff.. If i known this earlier, i get a PnS can adi.. .. o well.. since i fell in love with alot of lenses during the TT, no way in hell im moving back to PnS cams.. i like lenses..

So, below is an example of my food with the built in flash and an example with moo's f58 cobra. All pics upload to FB then transfered here.. lazy to put into photobucket.

Here is a pic with the built in flash, sry ah.. messy eater..


Here is almost the same angle, cept zoomed out abit with the F58 cobra


Another one..
Here is with the built in flash. check out the harsh shadows mann.. and the harsh light..


Here is with the F58.. So much more natural..


Hope this helps those who is new in the area =).. Searching google also got comparison photos.. Just in case people lazy to find in goodle hehe =)
I learned alot! and kena poisoned alot!

guys, i'm looking for a cpl filter for my 16105... wanna get it before i go to langkawi next week...

what would you guys recommend with a budget of not more than 150? really tight on budget liao...

vcvx: I like #2 and #3!

craziqbal: Looks like plain ol' overexposing to blow out the whites.

I don't quite understand..for the 2nd photo, he set the exposure bias to 1.0, in the third one, because there was a lot of white, so the noise wasn't visible ka??

waaaa.. nice la bro.. long time never see u posting.. been busy in dublin ka??

busy jugak.. huhu
@ lehtung - i probably did some leveling and contrast fi i'm not mistaken. i'm not good with pp, so i just do try and error

If using 2x..the zoom and the aperture will double..

Will degrade the IQ..hunting..and for some lens..not compatible (depend on brand..and how old the TC..)

Advisable to use TC with prime lens.. then ok

bro... what TC brand dat u using now? wat was the problem dat nite ar? i'm thinking that TC didnt support SAM lenses kot..

@Poadster : me n ranceed tried the new 50f1.8 with an old TC... it didnt autofocus..

Wa! Who's that handsome guy with the black cap on , next to albert? (:
Anyway forgotten let you try my toilet bowl diffuser. even more difference. Love the after effect. (:

I can see Mo0 and albnok...

with that budget, can get a Kenko one... search in garage sale...

you know who's selling the toilet bowl? i want ler...

50mm on apsc memang sempit kekeke...
can't deny that it is sharp, but also noisy when focusing..

tetiba rasa cam nak jual pulak.. beli flash kekeke...

maybe I should be more creative in composing using this prime

Good morning

wat is the different?
Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II VC LD Aspherical (IF)
Tamron AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF)

which is exactly why i'll stick to the Sigma 30mm f1.4 for portraits, if i had the money for it.
