dont need bean bag lar~ if u have a crumpler or bagman bags~ use it as a bean bag on a stool/table or anything u can find on the spot for long exposure~

What is BEAN BAG ?

This one ?

Its a mini version of that just for you to rest your camera body or lens instead of exposing them to a surface that might scratch your camera.

*runzzzzzzz*

HAHAHA.. i wANT williams version!

What does the Opteka 85mm F1.4 look like at F5.6?

guys,

why my a700's hot shoe seems to be loose? sometime the body does not detect the flash even I clean the connectors. .

it's uncle ian lah

albnok: the thing is im not too knowledgable on technicalities, i do think that the a550 will be a big leap from my current a100.

but would it be adviseable to go for gears or body?

have u tried A550? how does it feel? how does the image quality is to u? if u have not, go try it. (bring ur memory card, to save the picture in)

after u tested A550... now, its time for u to decide. is the A100 is unusable? or do u feel ur A100 is at it's limit. do u feel u really need the A550's boost of spec?

Answer:
i) Yes, upgrade it.
ii) No, stay with A100... and sell ur kitlens and helious, buy a 16-80cz, and u will see the Extreme Sharpness and IQ from the A100!

i personally suggest you the add the cz lenses...
honestly currently sony havent come out with a body tat quite satisfy everyone (now have to wait and see the a7xx successor and see how)

Woah... That's fast

auww, how come not satisfied? compare to old film age where u use 24' film roll and full manual focus... what more u to ask?

but i thought composition is more important then a D3s (where it claimed to be most satisfied camera in the world)

albnok : Hahaha handsome photo of you wor. Cant wait to see you become BOTAK! XD

Any suggestion where can I get a good tripod for my A550 + maybe in future a 70200 or 70300 lens ?

Im thinking of Velbon or Benro tripods.
Does the tripod include the head? which head should I look for?
Pls suggest slowly as Im still new to tripods and dont know much.
However, I want to get something that would last and is sturdy and light.

In my mind at this moment are 2 brands, ie Velbon or Benro
Im also considering the carbon fiber.
Ive had a look at Velbon Sherpa... looks nice.

I would like my tripod to PREFERABLY / IDEALLY be :
1- 3 sections (or maybe 4)
2- max height ~ 150 cm
3- clip lock, not the twist lock.
4- cheap

Velbon GEO and SHERPA series look nice...

Any comments & suggestion?
What about the head?

benro A-168m8+BH-0 - ~RM600

allu
4section.
travel angel (very small when folded, but still a strong tripod when unfold)
8kg load, the BH-0 is 6kg, hence 6kg loadlimit (more then enough, unless u plan to do birding where the head is little un-versatile)
max height of 1.41m + head around another 15cm

water resistant twist lock (better and faster then fast clip ler)!

utube benro travel angel, and prepare to get heavy poison...

to sum it up. allu 4 sec, 1410mm~ height, 375mm! folded, 8kg load tripod!, water resistant twist lock... (sorry to introduce a twist lock, but benro's twist seem very reliable)

Sometimes ago i do faced the same problem.

The problem solved when i applying a small piece (one layer only) of masking tape at the body's hot shoe.
