feel like giving it a try.. haha...

wow is there any crumpler selling shop around in kl?last time 1U still got la,but now gone dy...where u get that bro?

There's an official Crumpler store at KLCC (next to Sony Style KLCC)

Ugh... being poisoned again... hope it's a 14mp FF camera... hehehe... and hope it's cheaper... then can afford...

somehow love the 28-75 f2.8 minolta than the tammy... more oomph with the images than the tammy...

nope... no go... coz it's like you're using 50-105 (eq to 35mm FF sensors...) lens... later... my advice is to save 1st and just use what you have for now... much more worth it...

Got STF already????

halooo.....
thinking to get a prime lens...
found 2 models:
SAL50F18 DT 50mm F/1.8 & SAL50F1450mm F/1.4
are both suitable for A350??
anyone have any of them?
anyone know the market price???

achew: Pffft, then your friend is a n00b still, there is no M42 lens that does what the STF does.

I've had some interesting M42 lenses.


Industar 61 L/Z 50mm F2.8 (almost macro)

It's very small and cute!


Circular bokeh at F2.8, to a jagged star, to a star (F5.6-F8) and to a hexagon at F11 and finally a circle.


This is what the star-shaped bokeh looks like. Not easy to compose as you need small subjects. Focuses very near though.


Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm F2.4 (almost macro)

Also small and cute, but heavier. It focuses to an amazing 19cm close!


Makes a great APS-C walkaround with good MFD. The Sony 30mm F2.8 DT Macro SAM however beats it in MFD (13.9cm) and can auto-focus, and is cheaper (because the Flektogon is overrated.)


Peleng 8mm F3.5 circular fisheye


On APS-C, a diagonal fisheye with a bit extra (including the black corners.)


On FF, a circular fisheye with a minor trim off the top and bottom, but image quality on the edge isn't fantastic to bother about.


Now this is the Minolta 16mm F2.8 diagonal fisheye on FF. Note that there is no black corner. Diagonal fisheyes are easier to use than circular fisheyes.

So what fisheyes are there?
- Sigma 8mm F3.5 circular fisheye with autofocus and true full frame coverage
- Peleng 8mm F3.5 circular fisheye, manual focus, somewhat chopped top and bottom full frame coverage
- Sigma 10mm F2.8 diagonal fisheye for APS-C
- Sigma 4.5mm F2.8 circular fisheye for APS-C
- Sony/Minolta 16mm F2.8 diagonal fisheye for FF
- Vivitar 7mm/8mm F3.5 diagonal fisheye for APS-C

The Sigmas are a definitely better choice compared to the Peleng! They cost a bit more, though.

* diagonal fisheye - 180 degrees from top-left to bottom-right corner
* circular fisheye - 180 degrees from top to bottom

Other interesting M42 lenses
- Takumar 17mm F4.0 diagonal fisheye pancake (small!)
- Jupiter-9 85mm F2.0 (tempting and very cheap)
- Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm F3.5 (popular lens, but well I like my auto-focusing Zeiss 135mm...)

The 28mm F2.8 lenses are generally optically weak so don't bother with those unless you can find the Zeiss Pentacon ones.

Manual focus is a lot easier with a split-prism viewfinder. However the only M42 lens I kept was the Peleng and it does not need precise focusing due to extremely deep DOF.

SHOfrE3zE: Yup it's the shop on the left, just as you enter - it's inside a phone shop. Not sure what the company name is there. They also stock most Tamrons for Sony mount including the Tamron 70-200mm F2.8!

anybody can help me to answer my question....

hahahha..still can't forget the moment, and the shop still my fav hangout untill today...

how hard is ur "hard"??
zooming from 17 TILL 50 get u the "same feeling"? or only "near 17 AND 50"?? (means only the head and tail get u the hard twisting feeling)??
mine one.... since new...... it's just same! smooth........
maybe u want to join TT and get a feel fr others lenses zooming.....

zooming 17 through 50... not smooth like a 55-200. im worried now

Hi,

I see you guys do wonders on recovering an over exposed picture.. I have trouble recovering this pictre.. i just download raw therapee and is messing around with this picture for at least 1 hour and i still cannot get the "feel", and i cant seem to get it right..

im reading up on google how to's and i still cannot get it right.. i need some sifu to point me to the right direction

below is the jpeg..


i only took one picture of the house.. i should have taken more ... but.. i was thinking.. dont waste space.. >.< cause im shooting raw lol..

so.. tolong skit?

here is the raw

add abit more for F42AM, u will not regret it.

Nice.... saw that limited edition Urban Disguised Industry Disgrace few months back at Crumpler, liked the ORANGE which fits the Alpha.... however was turned off by the motif..... was told that it looked like i was having a snake over my shoulders....

So ended up buying the cheaper "normal" black colored one instead....at RM59only...

Psst.... Crumpler is much cheaper here than SG or AU..... achew, how much did u get yrs?? Its RM80 here....

underexposed can be saved but overexposed is from my exp la

Why does DRO level 5 makes the object like ultra ultra ultra saturated and reddish? Its normal right? Thought my a700 got problem dy. ):
