hmm interestingly introducing IS for Sony....

as I saw the review of using an IS lens on the built-in stabilizer camera body (they test on Olympus)

as the testing

if you switch your camera body IS and IS Lens together will cause the lens malfunction and creeping sound so switch either one side to avoid the malfunction

so either way; off you camera body IS and on Lens IS or on your camera body and switch on Lens IS

however conclusion for having an IS lens for Alpha Body....... is turned the IS on the Lens and shut the SSS down is much better because for Sony Body IS, you wouldn't saw the stabilize effect on OVF or Live View (unlike Olympus which has stabilize effect on Live View)

i wen back @ 12 sharp... wen with family can't wait me long

Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG on the A900. Which gives the same angle of view as the new Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC HSM.


This one is slightly cropped.

kevinwcw: SSM doesn't mean it will focus faster. It depends. Some Minolta lenses have the HS (High Speed) suffix which means it is geared quickly. The Minolta 200mm F2.8G HS APO is definitely faster than the Sony 70-200mm F2.8G SSM, for example.

Crap, more SAM?

ieR: Somehow I think her pensive look might work better in portrait orientation.

d4rkholeang3l: Good expression, nice color. Hope she likes it too!

Seng_Kiat: I would expect it to be RM24xx as it has to cost more than the 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM and cheaper than the 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG (I think.)

hokc77: Wow interesting to see what happens to other bikers when they are not the subject of your panning! Interesting effect.

#2 - recee?

cjlai: Nice shots of Azrul. Feels a bit cool and #2 a bit underexposed.

freddy manson: The Sigma 8-16mm is not a fisheye - it's a regular rectilinear.

I think the hand shot has potential, try doing something like that again but closer.

hafeez71: Try cropping off the top and bottom?

e-jump: The A700 replacement needs to be APS-C. There is a market for it.

I like #2, #5 and #6 but #3 could be framed lower.

danieliew: The Samyang 8mm F3.5 diagonal fisheye for APS-C is a good deal, ask cjlai for details.

@albnok

the 2nd pic...what is the singer holding on his left hand?

ThadThad : Get from me only la. LOL. Can get about RM2.3k new. (:

albnok : thanx bro..will do the cropping on my next pic..
