SpOOkY: Nikon and Canon also use 90 degrees as up and 0 degrees as forward (look at the flash head joint.)

The Sony Carl Zeiss Planar T* 85mm F1.4 ZA is RM5000 or so. The Sony Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm F2.8 SSM ZA is RM5400 or so.

hehe, eh, i din see the markings, i just use my own angle theory...noted now, and i will use the correct one smile.gif

what flash are u using? Sony? Turn on HSS mode on your flash so that ur speed can go pass 1/160....(ur flash head has to be at 90 degree)

Im using F58. HSS mode noted

QUOTE(albnok @ Oct 26 2009, 10:13 AM)
e-jump: Your shutter speed is limited to the flash sync speed of your camera i.e. 1/160s. However, you can enable faster shutter speeds by using High Speed Sync (HSS). To enable this your flash must be pointing directly forward and not bounced.

Alternatively, use a lower ISO and darker aperture.

But if i point the flash to her face, wouldnt it be too bright on subject face?
I used iso200, but i left my aperture to narrow DOF coz i thought bokeh background would be better.
I messed so much trying the M-mode ;__;

Im using multisegment metering n Local AF. Could it be because i dont use AEL?

e-jump: Ooo I forgot - you can also use your flash wirelessly in HSS mode! However, the flash head must be straight (despite it being wireless.)

achew: LOL cute! At that age my niece wasn't bothered by the shutter, though - probably depending how sleepy she was.

Personally I love the lambency. Because the light is very evenly spread when direct flash. (:

lambency works great if there are walls near to you, as it will bounce 360 degrees.. but, best used for portrait shots, and not too far from subject, and dont forget to do some exposure compensation +0.3/0.7

for regular shots, can go for omnibounce..

Thanks for the explanations, I think I will go for Lambency one! Also, where can I get 50 f1.8 under 500?
