need to bring camera to work because sometimes need to snap photos on site.. my a700 is too heavy with VG (i have a hand grip so kinda lazy to take it off everytime i want to bring the body only), and quite 'sayang' to bring it to work everyday.. budget kinda tight too.. and it just hit me, instead of a P&S, why not a cheap backup body?

the toy n skateboard was tied with few fish lines to my table lamp..background was 1 bigger table lamp..and reflector made with aluminum foilz to create random bokehs..

ohh..
i always admire your art work..

haha..just some lame shots from a boring engineer during his off days.. =p
thanks anyway

The Alpha system is 25 years old! Nice article about how the mount has progressed:

e-jump: You don't need a polarizer filter for that!

And yes, the 55-200mm is so-so with bokeh. Your PL might be making it worse though. That said, I like the picture of the dude in blue - the colors are very striking while still controlled.

kevinwcw: Main thing that the F58 that no other flash of any brand has, is the Quick Shift Bounce (sideways swivel). So you can use the built-in diffuser panel while in portrait mode (with any other flash it will become a thin strip.)


Right is F42 in bounce mode; notice the diffuser becomes useless here.


The F42 (below) needs a third-party diffuser while the F58 can go solo.

More reading here.

Seng_Kiat: As high as you can send to the printers.

hafeez71: Nice #2!

achew: New figurines?

i have a question, can i use the charger for a700 to charge a100 battery, vice versa?

signither: Yes they are the same.

Bro,May i know where is the diffuser?I cant seem 2 find it when Im fondling with the F20AM at a sony center few days back.Or you need 2 do some settings 1?what i remember is there are 2 types of settings you can do : 'direct or bounce' n 'normal or tele' only rite?please advise.planning 2 buy 1..anywhere can get cheap?1st or 2nd doesn't matter as long as there's warranty..ty..

Minolta 600mm f/4.0

Oopss, sorry, I'm a super noob in DSLR.

I thought the "Tele" was a diffuser as I was told by the Sony centre person. I checked the manual and it says the "Tele" switch with [Tele position] at which the flash can reach further...... Sorry ya....

If you have the budget, most people will tell you to get a better flash gun rather than the F20AM.
