kysham: i see, i remember that but when i go to sony centre/sony style they are not selling it so i thought at the pc fair was the a550... huhuhu~

b+w..hoya hd series..cz..??

Hi guys,hope all of u doing great.

I have a question here. Is there any place that provide EPP up to 24months for AmBank Credit Card?

Thanks.

achew: between Hoya HD and CZ filter, which one value for money?

when someone asks..
please dont let him down by saying..

ofcourse he knows (he might not now but lets assume he knows about HVLs but wanted a cheaper alternative) but he already stated there..
other than sony..
if dun wan to answer then dont answer loh.. he he..
lets add some knowledge to him so he can choose.. after all, he surely gona go to Sony in the end..
because third party always have functions lacking.. but now he wants to try other brand so lets be OPEN MINDED about this..

so to answer the question..
i dont think nissin got Sony mount yet..
but Sunpak is a good one.. i'd used Cybertik MZ45AF.. you can view it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SPvulWZOP4
ita a re-make of Vivitar flash.. can do wireless but the TTL is a bit untrustworthy lah..

there's many more out there but u can always slowly go through review sites out there.. and good luck on ur hunt!

Hoya HD


freddy manson I totally agree, but at the same time I would say, you should do all the research, god knows I have, but I found that third party flashes for sony are just not worth the time and money. (probably after some time they'll be) If you're using C @ N, get a third party flash to play around, it is definitely worth it! cheers mate!

how did u get that close to the fly without it flying away?

not create viginate with 1680cz at 16mm?

prefer HD too..my one is already at the post office waiting for my collection =D

Move very slowly. For good macro session its better to go early morning or evening where the bugs are inactive / sleep. Some of the alphantics who are so lucky can get a closeup where the dragonfly is still sleeping. Other than that its all in a matter of practice.

Heres my very first pic with raynox (using Panny LX3)

Have to keep whacking it so it'll stay still .

achew..thanks for the response
if i'm not mistaken..original sony filter uses CS right? hmm..

thats why, we have that experience b4 go straight to tell the newcomer so they didnt waste a money, we need teach them to save a money a bit, not to fast2 want to buy the flash and in the end feel regretful.. ..

CZ filters are pretty damn good, but the problem is that it does not resist oil smudging and abuses as well as the newer Hoya HD filters. Oil smudge on the Hoya HD filters can easily be cleaned.

cz u mean???
i dont get what u mean by "original sony filter"..normally it doesnt comes with any filter..even if it does..it comes with a cheap one..all those good filter cost 100~200/300bucks...i don think they will giv u anything like that for free...


saturation works fine for me..but imo the signature catches too much attention..

yes.. you r right.. "alang2 bah"..

worth for the function provided by the flash..

I notice there is vignetting in the last pic.
so vignet is pretty obvious when u set 16mm for SAL16-105 with filter right?

thanks achew.. never thought of that.. again..

andymillenium i use the cheapest CPL on the market.. very thick.. but cost 50 only.. not uv..
