I have one  tongue.gif

The sigma 1224 is a different range. You will be amazed by it's 'wide-ness'. The only downside is the dark aperture, it starts from 4.5 to 5.6 if I am not mistaken. But again, many people will claim that if you shoot bright landscape, you don't need an f2.8 lens. So it's up to you. Sharpness wise I would say the KM1735 is slightly sharper than the sigma 1224. If you don't need that wide and need f2.8, I would say KM1735 is worth consideration. If your main aim is wide, nothing can beat the sigma 1224 in rectilinear form. smile.gif

haha..stop poisoning me.. tongue.gif

yea..i might not need bright aperture or shallow DoF when im using wide angle lenses..maybe i shd take a 2nd look on the siggy..wads the price locally?

bros, im having a tight situation here =D this is how it sounds...

yesterday, i was trying to shoot some grasses at night( no ambient light at all). The problem i have was autofocus. I know that it doesn't like dark condition. So, i forgives it. But then when i switched to MF, i couldn't get a focus  cry.gif The MF ring was on infinity and the camera was 3 feet from the grasses btw. I've turned the focus ring a few times for a few attempts...but still, no luck.  cry.gif

How can i solve the problem without creating a light source?

The second problem, when im shooting right into the starry sky, I juz got a few tiny lil' light spots. So tiny that I can barely see it. I was using shutter priority with 30s. Isn't that long shutter speed will capture more light rays from the star to make it as a star? Am i doing it wrong?  cry.gif

thx
*
3 feet is less than a meter right??(if i remember correctly)
i don think u lens MFD is so short..unless u r using macro lens or u put in closeup filter/raynox...

if u r using MF..it doesnt matter if u dont have a light source there..as long as u could see it in ur OVF..u shd b able to focus(assuming the distance is above the MFD)..

30s isnt really that long depend on ur lighting...since u said the stars were so tiny n dark u could barely see it..i don think 30s is good enough...u need bulb mode...

Really thought it was water. Thought you blasted your flash kao kao and use super fast shutter. Anyway how did you position your flash?

no la..my wireless trigger support untill 1/250s only..cannot go too fast also....and my living room is too small..i increase the power again i'd lit up the room liao..lol

my flash was on my DIY flash ring..about 30cm behind my camera..30cm on top of it(i put it on a chair)..pointing 45 degree down(try to not let the light spills into the background..

so is good to experimenting different kinds of style instead of focusing of one style would be better?

i think its good to have a strong personal style(but of coz..a good one)..the style that once ppl see it..they know its done by u...create ur own trademark..once u r done..it does no harm to try other style once in awhile.. ^^

like what albnok said..i think it'd b better if u can adjust the angle...but im stil fine with this tho....but y dont u wait for the girl to walk pass first?or she is ur fren and u frame her in on purpose?

achew: Congratulations - though I would prefer the F20 because it can also be used as a flash! Also, you can use HSS (and faster shutter speeds) when using the F20 in wireless mode.

Welcome back to wireless flashing, with a good debut!

hehe..thanks bro..this is just a start..its not the end..there might b more F20..F42..F58 coming..lol..i guess at the end of the day..i'd stil prefer to use this RF trigger more than F20..unless there is a need to use HSS or lights from the front..

Normally you all take picture by using Autofocus or Manual Focus?
*
i only use manual focus when :-

1. very hard to focus(not enough contrast for the machine to capture)
2. lenses focus too slow
3. shooting figurines(since i nv move my camera or figurines..no point to keep focus..just focus once n keep it there)
