The beercan doesnt seem to be that SHARP.. at even at F5... but still useable.. n acceptable. I think it is best used for Closeup potrait..

Wow.. what is this overprocessed photos.. it looks good as an artwork.. but cant feel it is a photo. can feel a bit of camera shake at the corner?

Hahaha sorry to make u confused.. i think i need to workout a way to keep my photo exif the way they are..

Me on other hand, opposite than u.. i usually find my A100 underexposed... n the A700 just ngam for me.

want to hear comment from u guys.. im looking for tripod that is affordable, very light for traveling, & can support my A700 + Beercan (my heaviest lens uptodate) ... this is what i found & close to what I want... any1 using this? do u think is worth getting it? or is there any other similiar options like from Benro?

No flash.. I prefer not to use any flash in restaurant .. scare will disturb other ppl .. but there is a very Bright spotlight on top of each table.. tats why there r shadows . Is there an easier way to Copy the exif n paste? rather than .. Check the exif n Type it here one by one?

24mm, F3.2, 1/80sec, Iso 500
Will try grap a few pic from my 50mm F1.4... is still my beloved lens of all time.

For me.. The beercan produce very nice bokeh & colour is excellent.. Sharpness is not up to what i want...is generally quite soft.. event pump up to F5.6, The Corner sharpness are even worst... But right now i do enjoy having this lens as it bring me to a new level of distance that i can nvr reach b4 this The power of this lens is its soft nice bokeh.. it makes the subject standout nicely n (make it look sharper)... I wouldnt use this lens if there is no way for me to hav a blur background... I really wish Sony can come out with SAL 70210 F4... with much better improvement in IQ

here are some new shots i tested today... with some pp Smart sharpening.. the sharpness is acceptable..

I love pic numb 4. nice girl too.

Sit Down n eat together! hahhaa.. if u r invited (not as photographer).... must eat as much as ur angpow.... ok just kidding...

i think is a good time to do some candid shots... d bride.groom will not eat much one.. after a while u'll need to prepare ur UWA angle to do the "YAM SEH!!" shots from table to table...

Hey guys got Meteor shower later at 5am +..... expect to see a lot (IF no raining n Clear sky)

http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20091116/sc_...ytuesdaymorning


Any1 gonna do sm shooting

That would be 5am-6am..later. some info i got from other website... hahaha.. I knew u will be d best to shoot this.. Somemore u r in sarawak.. d sky is so much clearer than here.. n u KNow d technique of how to do it. Hope u can snap a nice photo

Im thinking to shoot first but donno wats d set up.. Zoom lens beercan 210mm? 50mm? or 17m Wide? Focusing to infinity is how? ...

Oh.. I thought i a long shutter speed is needed to capture the trail of the meteor like 30 sec or even minutes... So u r suggesting 1sec with F2.8 n as low iso as possible...?


Thanks albert.. i think if im going to shoot.. i'll need to go out at 4pm. to find suitable place.. my problem probably is .. there is no dark places around my area in city.. i thought of going to a taman residential park.. should be super dark.. but safety bcome a concern

Not sure d direction le.. i think d best is if can find an empty land.. with no building whatsoever surrounding it.. Lay ond grass.. n enjoy.. FUyooh.. thr seems to hv no such place in kl..

Ur suggestion is funny yet somehow workable.. , but i believe what he needs is for graduation studio shooting? & To use the "the Library (bar & lounge)" facade as the Graduation backdrop...

Bro albnok mentioned they don allow us to take photo inside.. I was thinking to visit there to take some photos too...

I awake until 5am yesterday.. but go out.. is Cloudy.. cant see even 1 star... mission fail.

Wow...I wouldnt wan to do that. 50mm LOVE LOVE! ... beercan .. acceptable but is like a must for every alphaian to own at least once...

Hey Moo is ur Beercan Sharp at F4- F5.6? since u r using CZ 1680.. u able to accept the sharpness of the beercan?

I just went to try the 70300G F4.5-5.6... TAT the Sharpness i wan... but trying indoor kinda hard to tell at iso 1250... but definately can See d power of G... Another good thing is... ITS EVEN LIGHTER than Beercan! though d crazy hood size might be a problem.


I thought tats yesterday??? So later 3-5am still can possible to watch? Hope there isnt much cloud like yesterday...

Mine like not that sharp .. at F4 till F5.6... even At f8 the sharpness oso only about my Kitlens. The colour is nice though . Love d colour n bokeh.. just the sharpness...

Mayb one day should meet u & ask to compare my beercan with urs.. see got any difference or not.. bcause from wat i remember when i try urs at TT i was WOWed immediately by its sharpness... but tat time i test on closeup potrait.

This 5am i went out checking d sky but was cover by soft clouds. cant even see ONE star... so go back to sleep... Later i'll try again.. hopefully d sky will b clear.. I wish im in hometown sarawak now cause i believe d sky there is much clearer than kl one..

Lildaredevil u gonna try shooting later?

Go to Broga Hills up there.. sure dark enough! hahaha.. cant do anything with the clouds though..

Oh.. but i feel like is still not sharp enough for me.. at 100% la.. mayb later i post an example without any sharpnening of 100% crop n an overall. mayb there r different beercan with different performance?

Din really test Tammy b4 so donno.. but i'll go for SAL1118 (For its Look on A700.. Satu family)
