I did ask you all previously. Just that I was a super noob (and didn't understand much, and still AM a super noob) and the SAL18250 was under promotion so I grabbed that. I was thinking the SAL50f1.8 would be a cheaper alternative, then I can alternate between the SAL18250 and the SAL50f1.4.

Just a bit more poison for me  sweat.gif , would a 50mm lens f1.4 be much much better or f1.8 would be adequate....  hmm.gif (and why is 85mm better?)
*
85mm is longer so it'll be sharper if u can take the shots from a longer range, his/her body shots.. when she's running, etc etc
F1.4 and F1.8 wont give u as much different if ur still trying..
u should get one. but for IMHO, go for F1.8 and if u feels lke the range is comfortable to you then u can go on with F1.4 if u still think u need the aperture..
and, dont worry 50mm F1.8 sangat laku.. u'll be able to sell it later very fast..

sifus...is cpl filter good on d kitlens?i mean is it worth getting one of that for the kitlens...and how much does 1 usually costs tongue.gif
*
i believe if u know how to use it.. the kitlens is powerful enuff..
CPL filter is good on ANY lens looking at HOW U FRAME the shot..

user posted image

how much? depends on the filter thread size, and brand..
cheap2 one like octopus for 55mm is around RM50 and 62mm is around RM60
we got sellers here at the Garage Sales.. bought mine from shlow1819

Currently i own the a350 and i have a question to ask about the flash.

Is there anyway to adjust the multiple flash in one single shot. For example, when i try to take a photo of my friend at night using the flash, the flash keep bursting out like 4-5 time than only can take photo. Compare to nikon it only require a single flash.
*
do u mean the pop up flash? or are u using external flash?

that's the body way of calculating how much power to use, and also that might be the AF illuminator?

please dont let him down by saying..

QUOTE(MechaHerc @ Jan 21 2010, 03:09 PM)
go for sony bro.. worth every penny, dun look to other brand..  biggrin.gif

QUOTE(Braynumb @ Jan 21 2010, 03:12 PM)
your best bet would always be Sony...
*
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!

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!

dats my point.. lets share info/knowledge.. rather than asking, the one that asking about something else to go buy something else..
(what?)

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)
