totally blank about lens... need reading 1st.... wakaka.....

Ok la. Just say the 75-300 is a Merc A class. The 70-300G would then be a Merc E class. And the 70-200G would be the Merc S class. (:

i dun have the kit lens with me now...the bower is a 55mm...

any brader here using a550?

can it shoot at iso 100?
i see some review like saying onli can do it at iso 200?
or i read it wrongly??

the lowest ISO for A550 is 200...

hh crap...
planning to upgrade to it, but now making me dissapointing

yeah, that's what i meant earlier... that there is AF confirmation even when using remote..

p/s: i've just reconfirmed it using my cam, deliberately defocus the lens, then press remote, lens AF, then snap

why? iso200 on a550 quite good what..

Why disappointed? So what if ISO 200? It's using a CMOS sensor which in simple english, means it can produce brighter images compared to CCD sensors found in the a100~a380. (:

while everyone's looking at the high ISO range, why is not having ISO100 a disappointment for you? its ISO200 is just as clean as an ISO100 on many other bodies that does provide ISO100.

iso200 is not a problem, they double up the shutterspeed(1 stop up) of A550 limit to compasate the lack of iso100 (1 stop down)

Added on December 30, 2009, 11:52 pmbtw, i am not sure my info is correct or not, D90 also native iso200, the so called Lo mode is the chip processing, meaning it shoot at iso200, process by the expeed to darken it by 1 F stop equil~ to iso100

just the A550 lack of processing to iso100~

so its still a good buy right?
getting it tomolo
say bb to my a300 XD

beware of "crap". somebody just very sensitive to that word.

Most of the CMOS sensor are based at ISO200. Some higher end have ISO50 / ISO100 by the extension function..
which is like they over exposed the pic and bring down the curve.. the effect is: the Pic is less dynamic compare to shoot with ISO200.

worth it i must say..with smile shutter, auto hdr , face detection, also got color space option, for me, its a very gud buy..

my experience with my 8mm fisheye

as stated, 8mm is really really really really really wide, so wide that sometimes it's hard to control. and u have to stand to close to the subject just to make a tight frame... which u become the big block of wall infront of others.

take a look what it does to a hall....


and this


it just grab everything, literally everything, and it would become so difficult if i would have 2 more photographer walking around, capturing them into the frame.
take this as example, bad shot, capturing other photographer into the frame... i wish to move closer, but i cant, because the table+TV(u see the black box there?) is blocking me

but lucky for me, due to the ultra wwwwidddeeeeee-ness of it, flash dont really lit up the whole photo, just the center or the closest subject, thus making the background dark...


as i posted earlier in the thread, i loved this shot a lot


it made me looked like i have to float 5 meter in the air for this shot, in fact, it's just a meter above the table.

i jsut took these photo last night, i must be really crazy and daring to actually used a FishEye for a wedding job.... lol, will pass the work to the couple tomolo, finger crossed. hope they aren't dissapointed.

ok.... tat's much more understandable.... will read up some more about lens....

how come they'll be disappointed with all those beautiful shots?

fisheye can be abit painful to the eye.

anyway,

what are the UWA lenses for aps-c bodies? are wide lenses the same for FF and APS-C ? (i would think not).

omg, poison sheild activated

well, some customer has high expectation...
