i dont know...if only i had both of them in my hand for 1week to see which one i like the most...muahahahaha....
haha..well..1 of the reason i keep shooting danbo/troopers is because...i have nothing else to shoot!!!  lol...i dont really go out often in singapore..coz no car..and i don like to squeeze with others in the train..lol..another thing is that i think i love to play around with lighting..flash..strobe..kinda fun =)

last but not least...i can get my rusty brain workout a lil bit...to think of something interesting to put in the picture..lol.....obviously the figurines r not going to be prettier than those car/computer fair models...so i had to make it interesting instead....haha..else everyone would prefer to see pretty girls >.<
*
Hahaha.. nothing to shoot... tats sounds just like me.. last time shooting my transformers toys, then now most of other times will be shooting food.... But then you have ur gf to shoot!!! I'll wish i can have someone i can try shooting potrait with.. i think i'll still prefer to shoot people.... but not stalking kind of shooting... i wan to do proper set up shooting with studio flashes etc.. unsure.gif

If im back in hometown there will be more things to shoot cause somehow the sun in my hometown more direct.. d sky more blue.. n d evening sun can really create very nice dramatic shadows.

ya wei, after u snap the pics, show em ^^ would like to see stuff to help me learnn..

ur last statement lol.. terus laugh die me.. 50mm havnt get yet .. looking at STF meh?? .. sp90 is 2nd option if i got cash.. prime + macro + portrait all in one.. its do-able i think.. but have to stand further for portrait.. the uncomfortable distance =P.. But, again, 1st option would be the 50mm f1.4.. i fell in love with it.. the sharpness is so sharp that i can poke my eyes with it.. there is a gap la.. on a kittie lens and the 50mm
*
Ya, i like the prime for the clarity.... was using the 50mm all the way during the flash workshop.... didnt touch my kitties at all....

Wonders if i shld sell off my kitties to fund for yet another prime....

eh i missed out on achews reply coz net load too slow today.. die tmnet!!

i think, some of us here has nothing to shoot.. well, i mean nothing that catches the eye .. we go to work, pass the same mamak everyday.. what more city life, its boring.. I do agree the sky sucks here.. I have been trying to capture the skies at lunch time, but cloudy larr.. or its not "blue" enough.. too pale.. One thing, i keep forgetting to bring my CPL out.. but really.. there isnt much that can catch your eye on the streets everyday.. which is where danbo comes in =P... it opens a new door of creativity so that you get to actually practice cause there is so much u can do with danbo.. cause its like your model.. it poses for you.. lol.. i think i really need to open that door..
clive, but for people shots, stalking people seems nice tho =P until they find out and decide to smack you or something..

SpOOkY: Yes that is the one!

electron: Nope, the F20 only works as a wireless controller on the A850/A900.

Poadster:

LX-3:
24-60mm equivalent F2.0-2.8
bigger, chunkier
720p HD video cannot use optical or digital zoom (can't remember if it can autofocus or not while recording video)
RAW + JPG
2.5 FPS for 8 images
1/1.63" sensor (bigger)
has manual focus
1 cm macro
PASM modes
3" 460K LCD

WX-1:
24-120mm equivalent F2.4-5.9
smaller
autofocuses in 720p HD video and can use optical zoom!
JPG only
10 FPS for 10 images
1/2.4" sensor (smaller)
autofocus only
5 cm macro
Program mode only
2.7" 320K LCD

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_po...dscwx1&show=all

Do I miss the PASM modes? No, not really, being an Program/Aperture Priority fan myself. It is at F2.4 most of the time anyway.

The WX-1 is a camera I feel confident in carrying around instead of a dSLR knowing I won't lose a shot due to the camera being not capable. I haven't felt this kind of bond since my Canon Powershot A520, really!

Then there are the other fun frills like Smile Shutter, Face Detection, and the fantastic Sweep Panorama. I never have to worry about 24mm being not wide enough as this can capture a scene wider than the 180 degrees of my Peleng 8mm F3.5 circular fisheye!

Kul | Mo0: Hot dang, you have a friend with the 135mm STF! It is destined for full-frame.

clivengu: The F20 cannot be used as a controller on the A700; however, you can use the F58 on your A700, to control a F58 or F42 off-camera.

amadeo: More samples here, from the Sony STF:

http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/sony-135-f28-t...topic11302.html

kelvinyam attempted to STF-ize a shot, but honestly nothing like the real thing:

Top row is from my Zeiss 135mm F1.8; bottom row is from the Sony 135mm F2.8/T4.5 STF. Top right is with a Kenko 2x teleconverter; bottom right is with the Sony 2x teleconverter.

achew: Are you buying the 70-200mm F2.8 for bokeh, or focusing and zoom range? If you buy for bokeh, the 135mm STF is unparalleled. There is no lens like it, not even the Soft Focus/Defocus Control lenses out there, which have a different effect.

Why not head out on the MRT with your A850 and 50mm F1.4 alone? Street shoot with that lens alone.
