guys..any comment on this sandisk ultra CF??

http://shashinki.com/shop/sandisk-ultra-co...facturers_id=27

feel like buying a CF..but not sure whether i can feel any diff on 30mb/s or just the normal one would do..
*
a normal 133x CF is 20mb/s....so do u wanna have another 10mb/s??
if yes then go for it...really necessary for the one who use drive mode a lot....

i think u better get the better one. hehe..
I have the 8GB Kingston 133x. Damn slow on my A200. much better at A700. but I still can feel the lag compare to my 300x card.

btw.. better buy the san disk at Sg during fair.. i show u the price later.
*
heres a very weird case i found out with my frens....
we both have a 8GB 133x CF from Kingston,transcend and sony....
it means they should have similar writing and reading speed right??
we did with a few small tests while one was the time for the picture to read into the card and enable the user to delete the pictures....
we shot a picture using a200 and press delete button until the picture is allow to be deleted...
kingston need 9 seconds to be deleted while transcend is 3 seconds....
in other tests the kingstons also recorded the slowest among the others...

since u guys talking about flash, I have  a few questions here .. smile.gif ..

I normally using Aperture priority on my camera to shoot. The problem is when I using flash with TTL. It does not give it constant exposure eventho the aperture is same and shutter set to 1/60. Sometime it is too dark something too bright .. any tips on using it as auto (TTL) mode? ..

I have to manually adjust the flash power by putting on manual .. sad.gif .. it is OK but a lil bit leceh ..
*
for me there are some ways to shoot with flash...
1st is always shoot RAW coz we still can rescue the photo while jpeg cant do tht too much...
2nd is control the flash power via the flash compensation in your camera, it should allow u to control the power of ur flash output, no need to control via the flash itself...

cause i feel it a bit soft at 1.4, or is my hand shaking?  doh.gif
*
yes..it is soft at 1.4....too shallow the DOF...hard to focus...
BUT!!
the bokeh is dreamy and nice....so just for some special street and portrait shots....

i cant use spot metering direct on the subject coz 90% of the time i dont place my subject at the center..

when the lighting condition is good..i choose centre weighted...and straightaway focus on whatever i want to shoot..never touch any metering while shooting..

if i found that the lighting condition isnt very idea(eg: background super bright..the center of the frame very bright and i always place my subject on the side)..i would do AEL on the subject face...

if AEL on the face would make the background totally over exposed(when im not looking for a high-key shot)..sometimes i'd use EV to compensate and find somewhere inbtwn..so that i could edit my RAW during PP to get both the background and subject exposed correctly..
*
if want the background and subject to be correctly exposed i think matrix metering should do a great job....

landscape not necessary in UWA form , if u wanna sponsor me , i wont stop u  laugh.gif
btw , thx for comment
*
ya...but mostly are using UWA...but zoom lens can create compressed perspective...it is another story....
so ur 28mm on apsc machine equivalent to 42mm on FF...means it is standard focal length which create street-shot like photos...

cjlai: Oh yeah, color fringing in binoculars!

Nashakir: On my Peleng 8mm F3.5 circular fisheye, I only ever, really set 3 different distances:

0.3m - when the lens is pointing at myself at shorter than arm's length and trying to fill up 50% with a face. You can see ieR's earlier shot had his hand extended too far so there's a lot of space - after some practice you know what distance to hold out the camera and lens.

1m - when the lens is pointing at a performer and getting a full body shot.

2m - when the lens is taking architecture.

Everything else is covered by the amazing depth of field.

signither: I quite like that shot! Makes it far more interesting. But I think you knew that LOL.

XOFTXEMIT: Welcome!

ieR: Well you might end up using the fisheye on people who love it. Point it at people, and see if they go "FISHEYE!" If they do, you have permission to distort.

Kul | Mo0: There are old Vivitar lenses that are silver with AF.
