jika u upgrade items.. lens, flash etc etc.. the leather case willl collect dust.. cause if your like me, i tend to chuck everything in one bigbag (im carrying L size bagman) then carry the whole load out.. I previously wanted to get the leather case.. looks so nice.. but come to think of it.. when i go out, i need my flash.. cannot fit lar.. samore im carrying another additional zoom lens..

if ur going on 1 lens all the way no flash.. then should be ok lar.. if u like to lug ur gear around, then no point..

more powwaaaa.. u take the f42 and the f58 from the sony website and do side by side comparison lar.. but really i got no regrets by going staight to f58..  biggrin.gif  its a nice toy to have
*
F58 is good when shooting in portrait (camera vertical) mode too.
because the flash head will be closer to be camera...without that feature the flash head is actually slightly left/right when shooting in portrait mode causing the flash to be seen coming from left/right side. if u get what i mean

well, u can always switch the view during display/review on the camera to see the histogram and blowout and pitch black in the photo (they will blink) i forgot what do we call that. but it will tell u if that area is coded as '0 0 0' or '255 255 255' which either pure white or pure black which is, not recoverable.

1. A300 and brothers, doesnt has a AF illuminator, they use the pop up as AF assist.
2. attach ur flash, to use the build in AF illuminator. your tamron Will Not Hunt Anymore.

3. F2.8 advantage is not before shutter release, the advantage is During shuttle release. meaning, with 16105, F5.6, shooting the same subject with natural light, gives u 1/5ss, while the F2.8 give u a decent 1/25ss which prompt to less motionblur. F2.8 is like bumping iso to 1600 on F5.6 with less noise.

4. tammy 1750, well, Practically, its for indoor use. not outdoor with wide ground. even i rate 55200 is better then 16-105 for outdoor street shooting. (my opinion, but many prefer 16105)
*
the advantage of having a brighter aperture does help before shutter release la..it helps in AF...
f/2.8 focuses faster than f/3.5 ....because it allows more light

if im not mistaken, ur lens will open at its max aperture (brightest, f/2.8 for 1750 and /f/3.5 for 16105) before the shutter...

correct me if im wrong....

this is what i understand :
"A faster lens (wider max aperture) allows more light into the camera and gives the AF system more light to work with, so a faster lens will allow better AF performance when light levels get low enough to start effecting the AF speed"
quoted from someone:)


Added on November 3, 2009, 11:59 pman f2.8 lens allows twice the light as an f4, and an f4 allows twice that of an f5.6

Yea..by using Flash AF illuminator..u wont have problem focusing.

sp00ky..i believe kysham said tht before.
*
for me, i felt that focusing speed and accuracy is very much dependent on the cameras auto focus sensors and auto focus motor.
Aperture isnt that importan...even if it hunts, the fast motor will make me feel that it din hunt rclxms.gif

ieR: F2.8 to F5.6 is TWO stops! That means 4x the light.

u need raw plugin for photoshop, or u can use the sony converter 1 (from the Alpha CD)

like i said before, the RAW file IS the original picture that camera take without compression, without data loss, without any image processing done.. more headroom when procssing raw compare to jpeg..

RAW- we can tweak there, tweak here (like we forgot to adjust WB will make the pic more bluish@yellowish) until we satisfied then save to jpeg for further manipulation.. 

u need to try it 1st for futher understanding.. icon_idea.gif

agree, RAW only useful if u do a lot of tweaking, the curent technology is good enuf for me hence i dont really shoot raw unless i use super high ISO and tricky ligting...or super important events

since u learn that take raw is a better choice...i believe u shd know raw allows u more room to do post processing...maybe ur question should change to "y i cant edit my raw in photoshop" instead tongue.gif
