sweat.gif Not tat serious gua...he is not taking my money & run away without giving me anything.. just tat hav trouble with the afterservice... im trying to settle this without blood spill. What I'll do is to hv my body 100% sure working perfectly... then see if he still have any "alasan" not to bring my lens for checking... a very bad experience to learn from.
Super vibrant.. the kid hv very nice running pose  thumbup.gif potential model!
I did Test before i pay for the lens.. But i Tested it the wrong way.. I test shooting near big objects such as .. My Hand, the cup on the table sweat.gif but actually wat i should do is to shoot further objects. IF after i calibrate my camera... n d problem remains... he will hv no choice but to bring it n pay for the servicing of the lens.
Thats exactly wat i feell!! Thank god sm1 understand this.. the process of me trying to prove to him is so tiring
Thats wat i intent to do.. i really wish i can finally settling down & can do shooting peacefully without wondering wats wrong with my gear..
the same Tamron lens? Great that he agreed to change after u showing him the pics... i feel like im doing a lawsuit case.. trying to find every evidence to defend myself..n make sure i hv my right

Bro, my suggestion.

Get him to agree the next course of action u taking, and his commitment on what he is going to do if yr next step still have the same outcome. Then proceed with yr plan with his agreement.

Option 1. U calibrate yr camera, then if problem still remains, seller agrees to repair/change the lens.

Option 2. U calibrate the lens, if it solves the problem, then seller pays for the cost.

U seem to be running around in circles and yet not solving your problem. Get the seller to agree on the final outcome and then get it done. Yr issue here now seems that he doesnt want to take any responsibility on the condition of the lens, and no matter what you do next, he will find excuses to not do what you want him to do (change or repair the lens).

I tried buying from him once, but he is soooooo "atas".... dont reply sms, dont reply PM, dont reply mails.... i gave up and decide not to buy from him, saving some RM but having to deal with a seller with attitude is not what a paying customer needs.... after all, he is wanting me to part with my money....

Guys (esp the WX1 owners),

I am looking for a PnS to complement my Alpha for times when bringing the Alpha is not viable.

Am considering between Sony WX1 vs Panny LX3, which would be a better option in PQ and features? I hear great things of the LX3 (clarity, fast lens, bokeh, etc) but any comparison with WX1??

Price wise Sony WX1 is better at 1200 (+4GB card) while LX3 can reach 1500 (+4GB card).

Thnx for any suggestion.

Poadster...if u dont like it..let me know..i'll take it down..

I am ok, pls feel free to touch up my photos to show me how creatively PP can change a pic.

Personally i find the look too fake and waxy, like she had full face botox treatment....

But i dont like the full acne details of my shots too.... so i have plenty to learn on how to "clean" up my pics with PP....

More books to buy..... sigh

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....

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?

yeah i do know about it. i guess it will not be a problem. with 400rm i better save up for 50mm. what about comparing how it feels? phottix or octopus is better.
*
They are both from the same factory in China, OEM under different brands.... the price and design is the same, so the material and build quality should be the same.... check them side by side if u have the chance...

The feeling is entirely up to u to try.... obviously the Sony has the best feel, but the 3rd party grips are ok too. I am a portrait alignment fan, so most of my shots are held via the 3rd party grip...

I am using another brand called Taylor (or something lydat), which is the brand before Phottix and Octopus, but from same factory.... and yes, i saved the RM400 to get meself a 50mm prime....

thx guys for the reply. still confused what brand to buy. i am more into octopus now.

It seems that there are only Octopus(es) 3rd party grip for Sony A200/300/350 for now.... those Phottix branded ones may be of older stocks....

As said by several ppl... there are no diff between Phottix and Octupus except for the brand on the stickers... the look, design and materials are the same....

Cool.... much nicer now.... but still can tell much PP was applied on the pic.....

Mayb i shld have changed the body setting to "Portrait"?? Would be the pic outcome slightly better with her acnes masked more by the body and lesser work needed on PP?

But still can tell its pped.. sometimes.. too smooth to be true =P her acne breakouts hard to blur out as there is alot.. i think if she had one or 2 pimples, then the process should be easier..

OMG LOR... the patung from ikea discontinued %$#$%$#.. today mc, i wanna try making my OWN patung with wires.. walked the whole ikano and there wasnt any patung.. i malas wanna walk to the curve cause, i think the chances of getting the one i liked from ikea are slim.. damn i need a patung model..

its like an obsession and i neeeed it.. damn lucky i dont get those with the STF.. to much $$$ involved ;P..

Go get a cheaper Transformers figure lo..... those type can pose...
