Hi people of the universe. Just got my dslr today. Still damn noob. =)

That's him, chill la. Slowly learn from everyone here. (:

I know. Chilling. Didn't know what to write. haha.

ThadThad: welcome..welcome..

MoO: what filter you use for 1680cz?

ThadThad : Becareful not to spam if not kena banned. Ask question you dont understand lo in the future. (:

bernama7 : CZ use CZ filter.

ok guys~ what is the lowest street price for the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 now? what about Studio Zaloon? any idea?

Mo0: how much the price?

saw 2nd one selling at 1.1k but the zoom rubber loose.. 1 year old..

find mivitec..(name not spelled correctly) saw his thread selling for alpha 1.45k

go ask uncle chin also at studio zaloon.. he provide 1 yr warranty if not mistaken.. call him/sms him.. he hardly online nowadays

or else try to use the search function.. hehe

hey, another new fella's here anything to update a newbie here?

Uzumaki NaruTo: Yes you can defish with DxO and other programs.

clivengu: I don't have a F42 anymore so I don't have a size reference to make a flash gel holder.

Nashakir: That's better, a lot cleaner than your green grass/blue skies/lamp posts series.

vincyuee: Unfortunately, it means your A550 thinks your memory stick is a fake.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, there are a fair bit of fake memory sticks out there, which is one of the few fake Sony items there are. Not even underwater set LOL.

noellee69: Cheaper filters add flare and reduce contrast. So I'd put only a top-range filter on a top-range lens. Also, you don't want to scratch your front element - Zeiss lenses come as an assembly so they can't change just the front glass, they change the entire glass group (using the same lens shell made by Sony.)

farex, nice shot!

kysham: Cheap filters cause flare but good filters can kill flare that shows on a naked lens; filters no matter what can cause ghosting in various levels.

ThadThad: Congratulations!

Cinnabarian: Love your nick! For the rest of us here, cinnabar is the official color of the Alpha logo (much more accurate than orange!)

gσσ∂ мσяиιиg αℓρнαяιαиѕ!

welcom to the orange legion, ThadThad and Cinnabarian, later dont forget to head to alphanatics.com yah..

haiz.. just got back from a trip last nite and all my pics looks noisy ha ha ha
i guess that iso 1600 in a350 is usefull for one thing but not for the pixel peekers..
never use iso above 800 until last nite..
a lot have to be done is PPing them..

Well.... technically you are correct, albnok. I know my naked 50mm f1.7 flares like nobody's business. But I never put a good filter on that lens before...

kysham : No need to put any filter on the 50mm f1.7 lah! It is so recessed that it's hard to touch the front elements. Plus flare can sometimes be artistic also mah... hehehehehehe....

wow new thread..congratess.....and mornign to all orangees!!!

1st day of v36..already at page 3!

Wow.... One day din eat orange already change new version...

combination of 2 exposures from 1 cRAW
