QUOTE(destfull @ Jan 10 2010, 09:48 PM) go for CZ1680 as you have a550 for low light, don't you ever scare to low light   I think you are right... OK... so its the CZ1680 then... that settles... |

Thanks for sharing Added on January 11, 2010, 6:23 amI read with interest the thread below Crippled "A" mode in Sony Alpha (except A100 and A700 ?) "It means you cannot use a manual focus lens in aperture-priority mode and let the camera choose the shutter speed for the correct exposure. Instead you will have to use manual mode and choose both the aperture and shutter speed yourself. The A100 and A700 both have a release without lens option in the menu which allows you to use manual focus lenses in aperture-priority mode. Unfortunately, Sony has left that handy feature out of its other alpha cameras. You can, of course, still use your A550's aperture-priority mode with AF lenses designed for the alpha mount."  Does this mean that using lens eg Samyang, the A5x0 will be crippled and have to use the Manual M Mode ?  This post has been edited by Banzai_san: Jan 11 2010, 06:23 AM |

QUOTE(albnok @ Jan 11 2010, 09:43 AM) ieR: Look for ament - he can hook you up with a split-prism screen. albnok,Banzai_san: Yes it's true. Am waiting for cjlai to chip his Opteka 85mm F1.4! your discription of split prism focusing sounds like what my old SLR (film) Nikon FE2 had before. Or are you refering to a different thing? I kinda like the split-prism focus in my old FE2. Does changing the split-prism screen improve focusing? Any advantage? On the "mod-chip", I remember you mentioned about it but I did not understand what it was. Now I do...

How much would the modification be? What does this chip look like? This post has been edited by Banzai_san: Jan 11 2010, 10:20 AM |

QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Jan 14 2010, 12:18 PM)  is it still seems harsh (the light)? Added on January 14, 2010, 12:19 pm lor .. I bought it at Nike Store at The Curve.. Not that harsh for me, just the flash reflection bothers me The back shoe looks slightly duller color than the front IMHO. But looks nice... I like Ayo, kat nike store in KKinabalu belum ada nampak lagi la that shoe. I guess must be around RM180+ to RM230+ right? Thanks for sharing the photo |

QUOTE(marauderz @ Jan 14 2010, 11:19 PM) Personally I feel that a person shouldn't only have a fixed length lens if they're just learning photography, but that's just me. Also.. I'm telling you to get the KIT lens 1855. No poison there, it's just that the A550 doesn't have a lens with it, so I was thinking that should be best for you to learn with. 18250.. ok.. that's abit special lar. IMHO, SAL1855 kit lens is a good starter lens. If I were to start with DSLR, I would choose a zoom lens over a fixed (prime) lens. You'll have a various focal lens to explore and learn compared to a fixed focal / prime lens. Of course the 50f1.8 is a good and excellent value for money lens, but for a 1st lens, I would go for the zoom This post has been edited by Banzai_san: Jan 14 2010, 11:31 PM |

QUOTE(kmarc @ Jan 15 2010, 10:53 AM) Thanx for the clarification. That lens would be good for taking my baby's picture. Right. After all the poisoning and advices (which I really appreciate  ), I have decided to get this (unless I changed my mind again):1) A550 2) The 50 mm f1.8 3) The 1855 4) F20 flash Any other poison for me?  Anyway, I still have one week before the stock comes to Sibu. Still have time to poison me....  since you ask for poison... my suggestion is 1) A550 2) CZ1680 or Tamron 1750 f2.83) F58 flash  nb: is the CZ A550 package still available ?
