Thanks..
The event organizer prepared the backdrop for photogs.
But being a typical exhibition hall, the downlight is so high up, thus making shadows.
I made a major mistake by not having reflector like other photogs, so i totally rely on fill-flash by strobing my F58 in wireless (a300 popup flash to trigger)..
i mount the flash on the tripod and adjust height/angle accordingly.
which is why you see some lightsource not directly from in front of their face

wow, you guys shopping already..
im heading shinjuku this weekend to find a shop recommended by my JP friend for 2nd hand stuff

sup gais



damage: 109k yen (used lens)

poison?
but the pics were taken with sigma 28F1.8macro

im not sure whats the 2nd market price in MY, but my friend suggest me this shop MapCamera.com Shinjuku.
The shop itself has few used a900 on display, diff price based on condition.
i took the cheapest 85F1.4 at 105k yen, tolerating some scratch on hood and cap. body condition itself is superb.
the marumi dhg-uv filter is of course new unit.

you mean this exact one


just to let you know that mapcamera shinjuku still have few 85F1.4 zeiss and minolta
