New Poison...

be real careful!
but A850 and A900 user probably has antipoison shield... or immune to it, at least...

hi sifus,
any comment on the minolta 28-75 f2.8 and the tamron 70-210 SP LD f2.8 (yup, 70-210, not 70-200)
having someone going to the US, so hope to find some bargain old but gold lense
in addition, can the minolta flash be used on alpha, cos if can find cheap (again) might want to try

thanks.

Konica Minolta 35-70 F3.5-4.5 at rm150

hobbies change bro. 

Braynumb: Do you want full frame or not? Are you prepared with FF lenses?

Braynumb : RM3200 for a brand new A700 with full warranty is a fair price.

As for FF or not, then it's up to what you already have. Looking at your lens collection I would suggest that you stick with the A700. Going FF, you will only have the 50mm lens to play around with. I don't know if your prinzflex 28mm is a FF lens or not.

The 16-105 can work on the FF but you will have difficulties trying to frame your shots as the markers for the APS-C area in the viewfinder is quite difficult to see. Trust me - I've tried it and it's quite frustrating.

For my recent Taiwan trip, I borrowed a Minolta 24-85mm lens from a friend of mine. The lens has a bit of a back focus problem and has some problems focussing on areas close to you when zoomed out to max but I used it mainly for wide landscape shots and kept the aperture to f8 so it's okay.

So for you, it's best you keep the 16-105 on the A700. No need to hunt for extra lenses.

got, its in rapidshare link..but sadly RS blocked my IP liao..so oni can use MegaUpload oni..

PM u the link la.. amadeo sent me juz nao~

still cant dload the video, very interested to see the tips and tutorial lo..

PMed.. fast2 before i delete the file from my server

didnt mention Sony in the tutorial but still, can see how the pros are doinf it with flash,
small2 difrence oni but the results is amazing~

Braynumb: I would not call any lens STF-like; it means you still don't understand what the STF bokeh really looks like.

finejava: We can have another TT with a Sony Carl Zeiss Planar T* 85mm F1.4 owner, or a Minolta 85mm F1.4G owner.

did some research about flash modifiers....i got already a stofen diffuser but no bounce card so decided to do a DIY bounce card for my F42...

material needed :

1. one piece 4R photo paper
2.scissors

and heres the end result....



the surface area about 4inch X 4inch....make sure the glossy side facing outwards....

happy DIY guys....

alamak

its a surprise advance b'day gift from my wife. thanks to my wife

Thanks buddy
nola bro the A200 got buyer redi...tonight saying bye bye to my A200

i am keeping away from all this a550 posion.....(takut poison shield lemah, kuang kuang kuang!)

grab this. for friend who are getting a battery or what so ever that still deciding between eneloop or sony or Gp new reclye something. forget it. grab this. and add 1 more pack of imedion batts. RM165+RM49 = RM214 shipped to ur doorstep.

why?

(i am not quoting from the site, my experince and knowledge of it).
1. i liked the free car kit. when i was traveling in taiwan, i charge my batt on the car all the time useful! even at weddings, sometime the first set habis, u use spare, u can leave ur 1st set charge in the car... others charger? no car kit
2. fast and slow mode. slow mode u have the time. fast (1hr 90% full) (30m = 70% give and take.)
3. i like the design, where the power adapter is seperate from the main charger unit (lighter) (so u can use the car kit)

why imedion. the only reason i can give it, i notice it recycle faster then others, and wont easily overheat too. (all my friend who use to use GP(only can get GP in my town) now all switch to imedion
okay, sorry, i am not doing a marketing. for the eneloop or other brand fans, i am sorry, i hope i did not insult anyone. i am just trying to make up those mind who keep thinking and reconsidering over and over which battery to get.
