maybe can b a good portrait lens..lol...

guys...any comments bout sandisk ultra(30mb) CF? saw someone selling 90 sgd outside my office...shashinki selling 289rm

the one i bought is this one



image taken from shashinki

i dunno..lol...its still sealed in the package..too tired to try anything out

so am i right to say bigger aperture size = shallower DoF ??

if thats true..then 85 F/1.4 < 200 F2.8 < 135 F1.8..



p/s: sorry..too sleepy..focus distance should be one of the factor for DoF too...

wow..love this one bro~! works very well on me =D



but base on ur rank..it seems like aperture has bigger effect...

like the fact that u'd put in extra effort to make ur shots better..well done..

p/s even it doesmt turned out better..im sure u'd learn something in the processs too..

constant aperture? 2470 is a FF lens while 1680 is an apsc lens... n ssm on 2470 is reaaally fast~

i usually prefer bokeh with slightly softer edges..of coz it wont be as smooth as STF...but not too harsh either..

but somehow i get cat-eye type bokeh sooo often after i changed to FF...i think i stil love my big circle type of bokehz...lol

sh|t...curse that #$#%#$%$^#$!@#...!!!!!

it boils me up with this kinds of news..

make sure ur pop-up flash is on..and the mode on ur F58 is set to wireless...

not really..most of the lenses u listed are not FF lenses..from what i see..only 50mm and ur 105 macro is a FF lens..

and take note 850 has no pop up flash..so if u wanna do what u just did on ur a700..u have to either get a F20..or some wired/wireless trigger...

@gizmo_pony
nice reflection on the sun-glasses~!

but since u just bought it not long ago..y suddenly decided to upgrade ?

i do cropping often too...especially when shooting kids coz i cant control them very well..so when they were running around..i might get some distracting stuff in the shot....i do crop 1/2 of the photo b4...imo the image is stil sharp..in fact if u dont view it larger than 1920 x 1280..i dont think u can tell any diff...

bro..don bother those fanboys..if u enjoying ur system..u should continue to use it..furthermore..if u change to sony..u might get more from them..LOL...thats something we had to get used to it.. =)

anyway..i if u not getting FF..maybe u shd waiting a lil longer for a700 replacement..and meanwhile have a serious thought about whether to jump ship or not...

was intended to do some street shooting today..but ended up with this >.<

thanks all..

yes..its singapore..taken at the tallest HDB flat in singapore..Pinnacle @ Duxton..50th floor..it was manual exposure..took me around 69sec..

@kfthoo
did u see any distortion??i don think cz2470 has serious distortion anyway..at least my naked eyes cant really tell...

@moo
yup..24 is the widest i have now T_T

another one from me~



edited the tone..and contrast + sharpening..coz the orig file was blurred T_T the wind was soooo strong that even my tripod shakes..zzz

this shot was 79second exposure ^^

actually to be frank..with my bare eyes i could hardly see any clouds...and the sky was totally black..

yea...im shooting in manual bulb mode..and i dont have any cable =.= so had to press on the shutter with my finger..zzzz..
