it was a "intelligent" stove..lol..it auto adjusting the temp..when its hot enough...it lower down the temp n keep it warm...when the gravy boiled finished..it turned off automatically..and it doesnt really burn ur hand when u touch it...maybe i shd buy 1 n put at home..lol

anyway..i dont have any "rig" already..stop playing pc rig long long time ago..hehehe...but i do have a friend..his family ship all these beef from japan weekly..and they have it almost every dinner....some ppl r just too lucky..lol

50mm Usually is my best friend to shoot food.. large aperture = more lighting = faster shutter speed = no need flash kekeke.. but.. will hav to stand up to get a better angle.

& my friends will wait very impatiently for me to quickly finish taking so they can start makan! has bcome a trend when go out

the beef was served raw..u cook it urself..but usually..i only eat 20~40% cooked beef..lol...and this beef taste really diff.. *slurp*

jap food...

yup..didnt use flash...infact i only brought my camera with me..no flash..no bag..blablabla...lol

Wow.. so HIghtech.. Msia is really too far behind.. The best korean bbq i tried b4 is... there will be a waiter to help us bbq the meat.. to make sure it doesnt get burn... n so we can concentrating on just eating but.. he keep coming n coming.. n we hv to give way.. n is rather annoying too hahhaa..


Im looking for Timer for my A700.. that can do shooting every 10 sec for over 1 hour, smthing like this:

TIMER REMOTE CORD

Any1 know which shop is selling accessories like this.. n the cheapest i can get??

Was looking 50 1.8 last few days, went to a shop in the curve and someone quoted me rm600 and the worst thing he said it is discounted price. I was like and tell him sony retail rm599 and he said yes but the price discounted. Sad to see most of the shops in ikano, the curve, cineleisure do not carry sony lenses. Luckily went to OU and got the lens@reasonable price...I'll never go to that shop again . The new lens quite sharp at f2.5 onwards. CA control much better than my kit lens but 50mm abit too long. Next will be targeting 30mm macro

owh dang! and i don't even know about that shop
anyways, i'm soo enjoying my new lens right now. gonna take more UWA piccas later.

clivengu: Two branches in Digital Mall PJ. Yeah I visit Leos Trading sporadically.

SHOfrE3zE: It is known as the shop where I first met marushin... and he bought a cheap third-party flash back then. Can you imagine?

i have 2 questions.

1) is an m42 lense inferior in quality to sony/minolta/sigma lenses?

2) does the 'F' in a lense model (eg. 50mm f1.8) mean the aperture value?

thanks.

Picture spam before sleep:

1)no..but it is more troublesome as u need to manually setup the focus n exposure...imo if u have all the time in the world to shoot slowly..then its ok..if u need to shoot fast like in those event...then no..

2)yes

owh i see... thanks for the short answers sifu..

i've slightly lengthen it a lil...lol..

i do have friend who is crazy about those manual lenses..keep buying all those lenses used for shooting video/movie(thats what he said)..and even lens from aircraft....and send it to china to modify it to m42 and use on his 5Dm2...he claims that those old/manual lenses beat our modern lenses easily...but well..im not that convinced yet..

lol.. when it comes down to manually focusing and adjusting exposure and all... is it that difficult to the degree its not worth it? or is it just a MINOR set back?

yea they beat us to pulp badly in lomo effect!.

im not qualified to answer u yet..lol...

but i did try once..personally...i felt that..if u shooting constantly same exposure..with small room for errors(if found over/under exposed u can shoot again)...well its quite ok...u only need to adjust the focus..and change the exposure(shutter or aperture) once inawhile...but if ur exposure isnt constant..for eg some place brighter..den suddenly need to shoot darker places..keep changing blablabla..and u have no room for error(shooting event)..then probably u wanna use a auto lens instead...

Mikeshashimi: try driving an 1980 toyota land cruiser and driving a new auto land cruiser... which is nicer? of coz the 1980 cost only <5% of the new landcruiser pricetag


*edit, better example, change the word "toyota land cruiser" to SLR (additional 'D' for the new landcrusier)

the lens is meant for film manual slr... imagine the hectic people used to comment that how hard/easy is it to shoot in the old days.

well..he is too obsessed...just like some ppl think that using certain brand of gears would make u a pro...maybe they also feel they r pro when they r using those "special" lenses...

i rmemeber i was browsing the STF photos..and he walkpass me...i told him i was poisoned by STF bokeh..it looked diff from the "normal" flat bokeh..its more 3D n make the photo pop out.....well..he told me.."aiyo..those bokeh not very special ma..u wan special bokeh..play manual lenses..we have so many diff type of bokeh..play until u crazy..somemore its alot cheaper than ur STF....trust me..new lenses no matter carl zeiss or G or L..has no fight with the old lens at all~ "

well i never argue back since im not familiar with those lenses..not fair to make any comments blindly

Added on November 2, 2009, 2:11 ami think the main reason ur 5dmII friend likes old lens because New FF/L lens could easily had let him brought 10 set of the old film lens (which is FF in today's term), same reason why beercan is getting more expensive day by day since A900 came out...

This post has been edited by ieR: Nov 2 2009, 02:12 AM

hmmm if u are not in urge for tele... save the money
