i always not sure how to use the terms for f-stops...

is f/1.8 higher/lower/bigger/smaller then f/3.5???

which is the correct term?

1.8 is wider than 3.5....wider means more blurring of background...but use it carefully as u may not get the image sharp enough...

i know what it is. juz not sure shud we say 'bigger' or 'higher' or what ;p i think 'wider' is not a good term to teach ppl, since they will confuse with a wide lens as in short focal length

hehe..been busy here and there..

The Tammy 1750 VC has a faster focus lock than 18-105VR?? seriously? wow..that's good to hear..

Yeah...no need to worry with the lens not focusing..it happened to my previous Tammy 1750 with build in motor too..some say it's TOO new need to rubber the connectors etc...upon googling, you would find this to be quite a common problem among build in motor tammy 1750. but my new 18-105VR was fine from day one..no probs there..

ok.. guy.. i hav a question..

i hav 50mm f1.8d

and.. should i go for 50mm f1.4d or g?

f/1.8 is bigger/wider than f/3.5.

Aperture = f/1.8, f=focal length. So if f=50, then the aperture size is 50/1.8 = 27.78mm.

Aperture f/3.5, 50/3.5 = 14.29mm.

Just wondering guys, which Picture Control do you guys usually use?

Picture Control ?
I put it on Standard then i screwed around played around the adjustment and knocked myself out with it. I guess it is now a customised picture control
And i named it TRANNY1.

By the way, you kinda derailed your own irony there a bit .. "wide lens as in short focal length" ? That does not sound right ... because wide lens could be a telephoto lens and/or a short focal length. So, personally i couldnt really understand you on that last part.
However, your concern about the term is understandable THEY'll get used to it.

Can show aah ... some of the pics under customized pic control TRANNY1. Miss tranny ni segan benaw nak post pic kat sini. Rasanye tak pernah kut? Ada ka?

..tulah ... segan benaw. Tapi bok bek bok bek becakap tak segan pulok ye dak ? Hehehe.

Alah yang pic control custom tu biasa biasa aje. Bak kata orang tua tua, "godek sesedap rasa secukup rasa".....(orang tua mana yang kata tu tak pasti pulok!)

Orang tua mana indeed

Yeah tranny, post some pics from Tranny1 setting. I'm trying to convince myself to shoot outside of my customized vivid but never got around to it.

wide aperture.

short focal length/wide angle.

difference. insist they keep the proper term in mind, because that's how all the teaching guides refer.

Hear ye! Hear ye! All those in favour of Miss Tranny posting pics, raise your hands.

as i said, i know what it is, im asking about the term

oh sorry, got wide telephoto lens? example?

okay, so i should just stick with wide aperture then

picture control (well, optimize image for me) i just leave at normal. anything else later i decide in PP hehe. when shooting i only worry about composition n exposure

the term of big and small aperture is easier to understand imo.
