digicabi where got 12kg..inside emtpy one u know....not with my gears...LOL...

what i love most bbout danbo, is that achew able to create expression with it's limited facial... every danbo give a infinite expression.... cannot even be imitate by human easily... that is why i guess, everyone salute achew~

achew being boosted to superstardom now... fuiyoh!

yep, couldnt agree more.. time to go to ikea and buy the expressionless figure and learn form sifu ^^

Albert: I am more inclined to get the WX1 too as its newer, "better" and cheaper than the older LX3..... just wanted to have a light, pocketable and quick PnS to complement the Alpha...

Will now hunt for the best street prices.... anywhere u recommend me to get it from?

u wan sell to your fren leh

guys.. wondering how much would the price of a A300 with kitlens and filter sell for? roughly 6k shutter count, no scratch and damage, with 4 gb cf box etc etc. ...assume no more warranty.

Poadster: Anywhere that gives you a proper Sony warranty as Sony is a fair bit more professional when dealing with warranty claims compared to some sellers out there.

why u asked?

The faster the better.. else what is the HSS for?
u can do simple test with ur camera set to S mode.
Set the shutter to 1/320s, activate ur pop-up flash and see what is the Shutter speed. Without changing anything, push down the Pop-up flash and see what the shutter speed again

cuz i might know who u selling too lol

i'll be dammed!
superb MF lens for ±RM3.6k

albnok...for the STF...does it works like normal 2.8 under the same lighting??or it has a slower shutter...??i think i saw it somewhere b4..lol



my gf saw me browsing on STF whole nite..and she suddenly say..."hmm..i think it wont be too long b4 i see new lens in the cabinet..." lol...she knows me so well ..everytime i keep browsing/checking something..i'd probably buy it within days..hahaha...but well..i promise myself not to buy anything at the time being.... =)

achew: I would suggest you justify it by going out and taking pictures of Singapore in general! I went crazy just photographing everything I could! Shoot real bokeh instead of Photoshopping it in - the A850 begs you to!

The STF lens of course requires you to frame your pictures to have a busy background (which is then melted into creamy perfection by the STF.)

The lens aperture is physically F2.8. The DOF is the same as a F2.8 lens.

However, the Transmission value is the same as a F4.5 lens - meaning the shutter speed you get is the same as a lens at F4.5.

haha..im not so into street photography yet...perhaps i'll give it a try 1 day =)

hmm..so i guess thats what i saw..so it basically more suitable under day light...hmm...

wtf so late still dun wan sleep. all tengok bola?? xD

This is one hell special lens... like no others. is so unusual.. did other manufacture produce this kind of lens as well? Nikkor nikon?

I actually love street photography... but i just couldnt take my 50mm n walk infront of ppl n shoot them later kena beat up... shoot one time still okey.. if shoot eh.. setting not right .. set again n reshoot.. I'll be dead before i get a good pictures

if i not wrong STF was used for those videography thingy right??or shooting flimz...

clivengu: No, NO OTHER brand makes anything like the STF. Nikkor has a Defocus Control lens which does not have the same look in the bokeh. Canon has a Soft Focus which again, does not look anything like the STF.

That means you don't know how to shoot street photography. You can shoot strangers. You just have to know how. And get it right one time lah why would you need to shoot and reshoot?

achew: No, you don't see the STF in videography. The Transmission value is just a videography term because video lenses have different transmission values as well.

damn.. i'm getting poisoned by the STF...

STF or 70200G... decision.. decision...
