i can imagine how ur danbo shot will look like if u use the STF ..

lol..seriously i cant really decide...hahaha...

achew, dun confusing our new alpharian

but.. but.. STF is niceee lens too for still life shooting (ur danbo, storm trooper will like this soo much)

I would say I prefer the Minolta-style bokeh to the Carl Zeiss. Anyway, isn't your work far more deliberate and planned out?

For example here's some from a Minolta 135mm F2.8, a superb compact lens which shouldn't be too expensive:

sh|tz, i misunderstood u, i tot u mean u wan proof on the last statement i did of the buffer limit of A550 on raw FPS... lol crap, i need to dig all the history again

*edit: no no, i dont imply that SAM is not fast on other camera, i implying, that the A550 new AF would bring out the best potential of the SAM, older alpha AF sensor werent as good as A550, so during AF-C for say, children running around, it wouldnt use it best potential to use the SAM to AF. mean on older then A550, sam would be fully push to the best potential. so A550 would benefit from it more, or other way around it will benefit more used on A550 then A3xx. no?

*edit2: okay, here to easy understand, the SAM only have 1 speed, not slower, not faster, 1 speed. so even on any camera, it still goes at the same speed (doesn't this sound better? ) what i trying to say is, above, A550 will uses the SAM ability to give upperhand on A550 shooting because of the new faster AF sensor in burst mode, shooting 4fps, with every frame are focused right, then with A300 burst with ever 1/4 has miss focused even with SAM. no?

i ever considered about that b4..but i was thinking..if i get 70200 1 day...then 135 2.8 would be totally replaced..im those kind of people who doesnt really mind the troubles of bringing heavy lenses...

i dont really get the part about my work far more deliberate and planned out...r u trying to say that i can take my sweet time to MF using STF ??

haul of the day

nice.. where did you get it... and how much?

and nice attention to detail with the A900 brochure below...

ieR: Yes the A550 is 30% faster than the A350 in AF-C.



Of course, the 55-200mm SAM on the A350 will still be faster than the 55-200mm on the A350. I do not know if they also improved the screw-drive motor or not.

achew: Yes, you can take your sweet time. You plan your shots a lot more than other people. I would say of all of us here you have more potential to use the STF (though, when you make fake bokeh it defeats the purpose of buying a lens for it.) MF is nowhere as hard as you think it is when using the STF, due to the large focus ring and long focus throw (how much you need to turn to go from close focus to infinity - bigger angle is easier for manual focus.)

I would like to see more outdoor shots from you. There the STF is not a problem. It's been a while, surely Singapore isn't just your room and figurines?

crumpler klcc.. rm80..

btw' it's not a brochure.. it's the new sony catalog.. pick that one up at sony style before going to crumpler next door

haha..we have the same strap now =)

not just faster, more accurate. there are reviewer tested it intensively, stated that, it in fact, (they declare) that previous model usually will have BF/FF problem in lowlight shooting, where A550 fix all that. seeing A550 has a breakthrough fixing so much of problem face with previous generation and great improvement..., iso, AF, fps, LV,... i think future model WILL be VERY promising. in fact, sony did improve so much in 3 years of acquire Alpha, of what took canon 7 years to do.

so, when u use SAM on A350 vs no SAM on A350, in a burst shooting on AF-C, does SAM will make the AF-C works better?

*edit: do i still have to find u the proof of source? i am tired of reading all the article i been through

Added on November 23, 2009, 1:51 ampic of my day,... since gf not in town, i got the whole afternoon for myself, took a walk and shoot. to me, i am reluctant to shoot sunset, because i been shooting it for the pass 10 month... but i guess, this is some new sight for a lot of people. enjoy



Handheld on a shaky platform (sail/yacht platform) and a good job from the SSS on 50mm ( sony rock when our prime lens has SSS while there is no VR or IS on other prime )

tadaaaa, nothing fancy....seems like slightly off-focus on my tamron

Thats the strap I wanted to get when I bought my 7MDH. Not enough money that time. So never buy lol.

pic spam for early mornin..
got the cars pic at 1U this evenin, and the water drop pic taken few hours ago.
guys..let me knw if smething wrong with the color...coz my laptop screen gt some serious problem with the color that appear... all car pic is 'fake bokeh' with pp... coz i only got kitlens to play with...
anyway...C&c are welcome...

nice shots invisibl3boyz, but to my understanding, bokeh is the blur produced by defocused areas... the distance between the foreground object and the background determines the amount of bokeh not expensive or cheap lens... so yea, i think ur efforts are chun, but the last picture, the car pops out too much, even the floor is blurred...

my noob opinion.

invisibl3boyz, the bokeh make the car like toys car, hehehe nice one. the color for the water+leaf looked fine on my work lcd(5 year old, i think contrast only like 1000:1) for the car shooting, i guess u need to read up bout white balance (if u use flash, read bout gel card)

Oh oh... sounds like someone's moving away from 70200G to 135 f1.8Z...

Know anyone who's selling it tho?
