Lol, crazy calculations about the GN. Normally I dun give much calculation about. Bump to iso1600 when I feel the flash power can't cover far enough.

BTW, anyone got Tokina 11-16 f2.8? Where you guys buy it? First time thinking to buy third party lens, don't know what should I check when buying.

tongue.gif Haha, ok..
I found out that Tokina don't have local distributor, makes me kinda worry for the warranty issues. Only Singapore Cathay photo is sole distributor for Tokina. Guess need to get it from Singapore.

Anyway, is there big difference between those normal flash diffuser and Stofen flash diffuser? Price difference of RM50 sweat.gif

Indeed. biggrin.gif When matched with A550, it is so front heavy. It is so well built, even plastic hood is thicker than normal sony plastic hood. Sony UWA 11-18 really has no fight to this.

Actually that was the 1st thing I wanted to buy. But then I realized there's no way to see where I'm focussing. I'm a bokeh freak n I need to be very careful about where I'm focussing at. N the price of the Vf is ridiculous. Rm700!!!!! WTH man, the Fisheye so big with so much glass n metal oso cost rm400 only. sweat.gif

They really need to revise the price of the VF. Don't understand how it can cost more than the Fisheye. rclxub.gif

@@, RM400 for the fisheye adapter? That's cheap compared to adapter. Where do you get the price?

RRP for the E-A adapter only RM599 huh, street price will be cheaper then! Can get fisheye effect and wide angle with just one lens. smile.gif BTW, any confirmation for the AF ability with SAM or SSM lenses?

Damn, I'm poisoned to get the NEX-5 pancake and attach my other lenses -.-".
Need vaccine badly.....

Manual focus is not a good idea. BTW, a550 already drop to RM2500. Check the HK prices, they are even cheaper until you want to drool.gif . Since still got DSLR, would hold my handbrake for awhile biggrin.gif Btw, will go to try out the fisheye adapter if there is any demo unit tongue.gif

Sad, last time Sony said the adapters are intended to be AF wf A mount lenses.

Yes, it is very cheap already. However, compared to earlier batch, new batches are made in Thailand, no more Japan. Just that can't show ppl and say: Nah, made in Japan one laugh.gif .

make sure you get all bulbs of the same kelvin. mixing kelvin ratings will make your white balance go haywire. best is to get daylight-rated bulbs. then you will be able to use it efficiently with your flash.

Are you referring to fluorescent bulbs? Care those got blue tints one, nowadays most of those bulbs got blue tint which make ur photo a little bit cooler.
