well, the tamron is really hard to get and all the shops i went are out of stock. Then I made some research about the sigma and most of them are positive feedback. then i went to alphanatics and there's a comparison of the sal 1118 with sigma 10-20. so from there i chosen sigma coz it's more bang for the buck.. well that's my pov.

yup, from sonystyle tebrau.

Actually i go there for testing and play2 with A550, but after 2 hours playing my defend was down.

jimlim007: No such thing as an lens that allows you to shoot infrared. Your sensor has a infrared-blocking filter, so no matter what lens you put, it will not allow any more light.

I have modified a point-and-shoot camera and removed its infrared-blocking filter. It still cannot see through clothes.

There are, however, infrared-pass filters which block normal light. Expect exposures to be 30 seconds or longer on an unmodified camera.

No, the STF has better bokeh than the 70-200mm F2.8G SSM.

Eh why you giving n00b advice to remove battery? It's a LiOn battery.

ieR: I call that supposed A750 screenshot fake. There's no A330 or A380 in that list! The A200/A300/A350/A700 should not even be in that list.

Shoot bulb mode for 5 minutes and stack 4 shots to prevent noise.

How can you bring the wrong set of batteries? Or rather, why are you not bringing more than 1 set? Always be prepared for your batteries to die!

electron: Minolta 3600 HS = F36; Minolta 5600 HS = F56. Some other Minolta flashes do not have wireless support for KM/Sony dSLR bodies or worse, do not have TTL, so don't bother.

clivengu: Nice #1, #12.

The shutter release has a lock switch so you press once and slide the lock; slide the lock back to release the switch.

Poadster: Don't forget that Guide Number for Sony flashes are calculated at their longest zoom setting e.g.

F20 = 20 meters at F1.0 ISO100 and zoom at 50mm
F42 = 42 meters at F1.0 ISO100 and zoom at 105mm
F58 = 58 meters at F1.0 ISO100 and zoom at 105mm

wuszhtag: The AF Confirm chip for the M42 adapter just lights up the focus indicator in the bottom of the viewfinder when you have manually focused correctly. It does not allow AF.

bernama7: No need to remove battery!

In 4 FPS (Live View) and 5 FPS (Optical Viewfinder) the AF and exposure are recalculated in between each frame (unlike the Speed Priority mode.)

SHOfrE3zE: Just saw the Tamron 10-24mm F3.5-4.5 for Alpha mount in stock at Leos Trading, Ampang Park!

my new hoot from my shopping spree just now =D

Eh.. SONY STYLE TEBRAU got stock for A550?
Lasttime I go there, everything I want must order.. OK la.. I guess they don;t keep many stock there maybe due to low demand at JB market.
Btw, They give You SonyStyle card rite? you should be able to get 10% discount off the accessories if u purchase at SONY SYLE. (but actually street price still cheaper than SONY SRP-10%) haha

U kena vacation coz u post those "congra" on the 1st page.. it's spam.. haha..
now the mod getting strict to clean the thread.

AlbnoK: Thanks! Btw u often hang around Leos Trading in Ampang Park? I just realise they hv a branch in Digital Mall PJ

hi, will be getting an used a300 soon. what should i check out for? sensor dust? what else? totally have no idea. and is CPL necessary for taking bright day light outdoor picture?


thanks!

i think they got stock for A550
they give me SonyStyle card state that 10% discount.
I already survey 2 3 shop, but no A550 available. even sony center at taman molek also no stock yet.

i need find bag for my camera.
what bag suit for beginner like me?



albnok: thanks.

#1 OK. This one looks normal.. Shoot with 1680Z. Color wise consider vibrant?


#2 Anything wrong with the color a bit dull? Center metering, with 0EV. Shoot with 1680Z.


---
#3 The sky should be brighter as this is 0EV compensation? Matrix Metering. Shoot with 50F1.4.


All photo shoott in the same day.
was wondering why my A700 + 1680 combination sometime give a slightly darker pic compare to A200+1870

albnok: i have no idea, silly me... maybe i need to grab another 2 set of imedeon, since i am planing to grab another F58....

u can buy LCS-AMSC30. this is a very good bag once u got it wont regret for it

hkhk, did u shot through ur car windshield? =.= that is why the metering arent accurate and the photo looked soft/blurry from the dirt on the windshield bokeh.

pai seh.. ur eye very sharp...
#1 the cap inside car.. so no problem.
#2 is shoot thru side windows, with the windows opened.
#3 is thru wind screen.

wait i dig out some other sample.. maybe do retest later..

because i always shoot through the wind shield also, ahahaha my pic all messed up too hahahaha
