[b]destfull[:
the 2nd pic.. Pokok Apa Ini? its actually bunga kertas..

50mm on FF damn suitbale for walk-around...

not tat superb for APS-C lmao xD

Australia buying FAQ.

but it when u have friends or parent flying in and out, because u can claim tax rebate from the airport, hence, it is far cheaper.

OR, buy it when u bout to come back to msia for hols. then claim the tourist tax rebate.

and since u are staying there for sometime, grab it there

just notice a dust in my viewfinder, any idea how to get rid of it besides sending to the sony service center?

50mm on apsc is portrait lens dy....if u want 50mm FF on apsc...go for 28mm or 30mm...

but 30 and 28 only got 2.8

sigma 30mm f1.4....Sony 35mm F1.4 G.....any one u can choose...

HD is better than Pro1D mah. haha
Later I oso go get 1 for 1680Z. but dono whether it worth the investment. There is not much lens using this 62mm filter, except those SONY lens which I have no intention to buy.
72mm and 77mm is good.. All those premium lens use that size..

mastering89: Sounds like Super SteadyShot failure. It 'parks' the sensor a bit off. Yes, you can bring your Singapore set to Malaysia but they will charge.

lugiamcg: On a budget, the A450 might be your best option. However the A500 would be better for Quick AF Live View alone.

cjlai: The Type-M focusing screen for the A700 if I remember was RM175, and the Type-M for A900 is RM285.

freddy manson: Source is me about the backlit sensor thing.

eddybeh: Should be under RM300.

seriously...???that is cheap...!!

just plug and play or need modification bro...???

yep..freddy..source was albnok..today he was quoted many times ahahah..

You mean buying in aus is cheaper than local?
I'm going there to study though.. hahaha..

u shooting wide open??i feel that its more on the soft side..might wan to step up a lil to get sharper image..also get the DoF deeper so that the flower would be focused better..composition wise i think its abit tight until a some part of it was out of the frame..

another thing..this is just my personal pref...i feel that there shdnt be too much captions in the picture..even if there is some words to put in..it shdnt take the attention away from the viewer(for eg..i'd read ur word first b4 i see ur photo...coz the words caught my attention first)...at the end of the day..the viewers shd understand the msg thru the photo..not the captions inside..

found this.... but Type-M screen not split image right?... it just let u c the diff wen going to aperture bigger than F2.8

http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat...29&changemode=1

mine oso show diff wen going fr F2.8 to F1.4

just plug n play.... not need to potong potong.... need only 5 mins to change tat....

but one thing is the center is not so accurately align la.... run a little bit.... but it won affect the way u focus....

got time just come find me.... i can show u how it looks like

some test shots trying on 50/f1.4

cjlai: Yes, the Type-M doesn't have a split prism. I also ordered one online for my A700 but since my A700 sensor was not at the same focus plane as my AF sensors and viewfinder I could not use it. (The worst kind of backfocus.) It's lying in a box somewhere at home! There isn't a split-prism option offered for anything with a viewfinder as big as the A900 or Canon 1DsMkIII unfortunately.

Might be worth mentioning the cons of these screens;

- spot metering is going to be screwed up because our exposure meter is above the viewfinder screen
- if you're not using F1.4-F2.0 lenses there really is no point
- any lens F4.0 or even F2.8 will look visibly darker, like there is a polarizer on your lens all the time
- if your sensor is not at the same focus plane then you won't get pictures in focus based on the screen
- it will be much harder to tell if your shot is in focus in the dark if you have a darker lens (F3.5) so I got some OOF crowd shots that way. Thus for event coverage I use the Type-G
- the split prism is only in the center

Anybody knows where I can get a good deal for the Tamron 1750 f2.8 for my a550?

Shasinki is selling it for RM1,550......

I've got the SAL18250 but thinking of getting a better portrait/group lens that has a better "f"......
