Seng_Kiat: Have you remembered to remove the plastic tab that blocks the battery from its contacts? Are you blocking the IR sensor on the camera grip?

What happened to mine though, is that I left the remote in the bag and it got pressed all the time in the bag, so the battery died. However it definitely worked before.

Hurmmm .. It was working before. No plastic, etc. I might ter-press the button when leave it in the bag.

Where can I find the battery? how much does it normally cost?

braindead_fr3ak: It's okay, haven't rode on anything bigger than a scooter; just that you missed a turning after the turning you couldn't go in LOL.

dazzle: Welcome!

The Zeiss lenses are great optically. I've tried the Nikkor 135mm F2.0 DC (man, how hard it is to find one!) and it seems to be missing some colors that the Zeiss 135mm F1.8 brings out (especially ambient tones and small reflected surfaces.)

Notable lenses to check out:

Zeiss 16-35mm F2.8 SSM
Zeiss 24-70mm F2.8 SSM
Sony 70-200mm F2.8G SSM
Sony 70-400mm F4-5.6G SSM
Zeiss 135mm F1.8
Sony 135mm F2.8/T4.5 Smooth Transition Focus (the effect is nothing like the Nikkor Defocus Control/Canon Soft Focus)

If what you need is high resolution and color tonality, you might save a fair amount of money with an A850.

The owner of dyxum.com has both a Sony A900 and Nikon D700 - and while he does like the D700's high ISO performance, he still keeps the A900 for color and tonality. Plus the D3x still costs a lot!

My friend has a Fujifilm S5 Pro and a D700 but he still keeps the S5 for its fantastic WB.

Some guy I know was quite interested in the Sony and Zeiss lenses. Instead, he a Nikkor tilt-shift (if I remember correctly, the PC-E Micro-Nikkor 45mm F2.8) to use with his D3, to copy large artwork - for every shot, he would shift the lens left, take a shot, then shift it right and take another shot, and buy expensive software to correct for distortion and vignetting before merging both shots into one 24 megapixel file.

I still think he could've bought an A850 and a cheap zoom that does well at F8, saving him a lot of time...

gizmo_pony: No but you can plug the HDMI port to a HDTV. However, you can make a fake tethering experience by getting the RMT-DSLR1 or a cheap remote shutter cable. For studio shots, if you've already set the aperture/ISO/shutter/WB you just leave it there anyway and press the remote shutter cable while staring at the HDTV.

d4rkholeang3l: Interesting. It's almost there, almost. Expression is good.

eddybeh: You get Mirror Lock Up on the A100 whenever you set the Drive mode to 2-second self-timer. It has been changed for the A200-A550 though.

lugiamcg: Haha, cute. I guess the out-of-focus couple is not obvious enough, and it should be bigger in the frame to call attention to it. Try reframing so you see more of the angry dude and the couple in relation to the size of the picture.

Seng_Kiat: There's the Peleng 8mm F3.5 but you'd rather use the Samyang 8mm F3.5 for APS-C as it does not have the dark circle corners. The Sigma 10mm F2.8 EX DC has autofocus and is available in A-mount at a much higher price.

The battery is quite easy to find in watch and older camera shops. Bring your remote and camera there (must test on the spot, sometimes their battery stock is so old it might not have any power)!

Kul | Mo0: Only Tokina and Pentax produce fisheye-ultra-wide-angle zoom lenses. Canon and Nikon don't.

Interestingly, Tokina and Pentax have a lot of identical APS-C lenses; the 12-24mm F4, 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 zoom-fisheye, 100mm F2.8 Macro, 16-50mm F2.8, 50-135mm F2.8 and 35mm F2.8.

AFAIK, the DA12-24 and DFA100 is a Tokina design.
The 10-17,16-50, 50-135, DFA50 are Pentax designs.
DA35 I dunno.


cjlai: LOL I think Azrul is going to say "fisheye is not for buildings!" His talk is interesting, enjoy it!
