Its not belated. Thanks anyways.

Thankss~~

We share the same day. Happy Birthday to u too.

Thanks bro~~

Anyway I found this bag. Similar to what I'm looking for too. (:
RM170 only.

i got a flashgun. seldom use live view. but ya... almost shooting non-stop. but compared to the 1st time i got my camera, i can shoot non-stop for almost 12hours. Looks like is time to get a second battery ady. gonna go broke ady.... how to save money to buy len as well

another thing my friend found out, A300 power saving is not as good as A550. cause A300 will start up when something move in front of viewfinder or click on some button, but A550 have to click on the shoot button then it will start up. his opinion and comment la

check ur power saving option,

i too, get about 50% gone for 3 hrs, that if i leave it on, and well, every 15sec need to wake up the body to stand by to shoot, and review+zoom in for focus check.

sometimes, it last me more then 1000 pics (that is more then the battery specification) *winks* sometimes 400 pic batt habis....

i guess is ur pattern of use?


*edit: but still, getting another spare is good.... i got spare standby all the time although i dont have a grip

I see... i will do that.

Anyone know whats the price the battery? Gonna go get one when i go get my bag. Waiting Crumpler KLCC to restock their 7MDH

i'm using the bagman's equivalent of the 7MDH.. can fit body with UWA, flash, 75-300, 2 primes (stacked on each other), mini beercan, 2 (8pcs) battery container. and the zipper area to throw junk in..

wah lots of u guys having nice bag collection,
still using my humble DIY bag =_="

top left: F42
bottom left: 75-300
center: body + UWA
center bottom: battery casings
top right: mini beercan, sitting on top of a bag of desiccants
bottom right: stack of 28mm & 50mm

still have a small compartment left in top center for my box of name cards

bought this bag new for RM120

lwliam so how are you going to bring the tripod? use the tripod bag ya?

yeah, my tripod comes with a bag.. but if i dun wan bag, the side of the bagman has slots for carrying tripods, but it will make the bag slant sideways which will be quite uncomfortable in the long run.. short distance walks are still ok

achew: Yes, it is.

Or whatever is the cheapest film in the shop. Expired also can. You don't need a 36-frame roll, just a 12-frame or 24-frame will do. All photo shops have film processing facilities. You pull it out to expose to light for a few seconds, and immediately ask them to process.

Yes they will have a shocked expression on their face.

However, if you do not pull out the film to expose, you will end up with a transparent amber film strip, which is not useful for infrared use.

Tell them you do not want pictures, you just want the film to be put in the machine and run through the chemical process. The C-41 process will 'fix' the picture etched on the film.



You have a proper IR filter if it is as dark as the tone on the left; on the right is because you didn't expose it long enough.

I also made an infrared lamp before:


ieR: One of my friends bought the 55-200mm DT SAM to compare to his 55-200mm DT. It was indeed faster in focusing. (However, he then sold the lens to his friend; it was just to test.) He does not have an A550.

MechaHerc: I bring my film strip to TTs sometimes just that I have not figured out how to fasten it to a pop-up flash conveniently like the flash gels.

albnok, erm just wondering what kind of pics will we get with the ir filtered light??

what i read it that, on A550, shooting sport, continous with AF-C, u gain marvelous upper hand with SAM lens then the one the uses the body's the non SAM. on A3xx, it wont benefit from SAM as the AF-C are not fully mature/develop like A550, this SAM are not fully ultilise. so no much of benefits on A300 with SAM

just stating the best benefit on SAM lens but having a extra SAM on my 55200 wont hurt
