MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

Was wondering about the new 55200 SAM lens... anyone has a comparison pic with the old 55200? is the IQ any better than the 55200? suddenly have fallen in love with this lens... might get a brand new new 55200 SAM lens some time soon... hehehe...

Seng_Kiat: DOF becomes more shallow at close range - watch out for that. Also make sure you and subject are not moving. Also, are you at 16mm? The CZ 16-80mm sometimes makes a backfocusing body obvious.

jimlim007: Yes, but the price, size and weight of the Sigma are all disadvantages. The bigger body is to reduce cats-eye bokeh, and to fit the HSM motor.

amadeo: Could you add the following to the price list:

Sony 30mm F2.8 DT SAM Macro = RM7xx

Sony 28-75mm F2.8 SAM = RM26xx

gizmo_pony: Use the center AF point for fastest focus acquisition, and zoom out to help the camera catch focus.

Braynumb: The Sony 55-200mm F4-5.6 DT SAM is not compatible with the AF/MF and DMF functions of the A700. Not worth it for me.

Here's an interesting question I'm shooting something that's Dark Purple indoors with my A550.

But the picture comes out as BLUE.

I've tried different white balance, and shutter speed settings but I can't get it to appear purple. Other pics look fine, so I'm guessing this is one of those special light situations.

Ermmm .. I am pretty sure that the subject was not moving .. yes, it was set at 16mm... ermmm .. is there any suggestion method to test either it is normal, or lens or body issue?

I am pretty positive that it was not because of handling issue such as wrong focus point, hand shake, etc ..

bro , y .. ur cz got back focusing problem ka ?
any plan for this weekend ?

i am not sure bro .. figuring up the reason of blur picture ..

this weekend? yes .. definitely free .. going anywhere for shooting? .. ..

Duh..

Just realized the problem. The color depth of the A550 screen was not enough to show the subtle purple of the item. The photo was fine when viewed on the computer. Interesting thing to remember.

wht abt lens filters ? u use any filters ?
no idea ... wht abt pullman place ? .. ahh nicer if got model to shoot , hehe

But there's still another interesting 'problem'. After my wife set the camera to take pictures at 7M instead of 14M the filename for the files are now

_DSC1234.jpg

instead of the original

DSC01234.jpg.

Even setting it back to 14M mode doesn't make the files save as the original numbering. Any ideas on how to fix this little nuisance?

yup .. cz uv filter ..

pullman? landscape? .. emmm .. sepang x de any events on this weekend? yup .. it definitely better if got model to shoot .. ..

pic spam for the new thread.
from 1 of my december client. tomorrow another job at rawang.

Done!

hahahaha.. can't trust the lcd much aren't we..

can't help it Mo0... somehow now more in love with the bokeh of the 55200 rather than the 70200 tammy that I borrowed... I haven't tried the beercan yet, so, can't say nothing about it... but so far, the 55200's bokeh reminded me of my old C 70200 f4L lens that I miss sooooo MUCH!

really? how about the old 55200? is it better??

Dude! been busy lately ho? hehehe... nice pics too... Shafriz, what settings do you use for indoor shots?? seriously find it sometimes troublesome to set the white balance during weddings... any tips??

Wishing a Merry Xmas to all readers.
