OT reply: zstan, aiks... i tot i want to be low profile some more.. anyone joining?

eddy, lightroom good for workflow and minor image adjustments and tweaks.
Photoshop is got photo editting; ie. Cloning, HDR, photo manipulation, the lot.

Mike, i think a CZ badge will cost more than a G badge. Either of which also i'm not able to afford, for now.

mike, i working d also no hint of G or Z yet ler

siggy JUST came out from FF realm, masuk balik???

Sig, but u jz bought the apsc, takkan so fast sell? Depreciate a lot one ler.

28mm 2.8 is a good walkaround lens that is compact and bright. If you feel fed up with 50mm being too tight, then this one is what you need AND its cheaper than a 50mm. On a FF, its an 18mm equivalent of an apsc, so it's a wide angle lens.

yes, it isnt as sharp as you expect from a prime, but to boost, the 50mm 1.7 isnt that much sharper either (havent used a 1.8 before, cant comment). at that wide, overall sharpness is pretty negligible as your subjects will be at a smaller scale anyway. but its definitely sharper than kitlens any day..

have you really tried the 35mm to be able to judge it as 'sweet'? with 50mm on a fashion show, i love the brightness of the lens, blows the b/g to bokeh. targets half body shot to keep the frame clean. and normally, i wouldnt use flash at all during a catwalk/runway fashion shoot.

mike, on the contrary, keep the 50mm. its bright and gives a decent close up focal length. both makes a good complement. at one point of time, i ONLY had 28 and 50 (apart from my ex-75-300; which was too long) for a model stage shoot, no problem!

i was at photographers' box right in front of the runway

TERRIBLE... not sure if you went to MIST, Bangsar before... its super dark with weird color strobes...
note: this one i used flash, but it wasnt firing full power

yet another spicy work from naruto! (pun intended)

what zstan said is correct. It all falls down to how you put your settings. The pic taken by albnok doesnt mean it automatically becomes a good pic, its from his experience that he can take a properly exposed pic, something which anyone can do provided s/he gives/pay attention to what s/he shoots.

What albnok did is merely giving you guys an idea on how to improvise with what you have without spending a bomb on gears. Like what shootkk said, having a flash means nothing if you do not know how to utilize its potential.

shootkk, saturday mroning still on or not? JD said u sick d?

ninja, what FB thing? Where, when, who, what? Shootkk earlier said pc fair saturday 9.30am..

irregardless of flash or not, i'd also go for the 16-105, for being the little brother of the 16-80 zeiss. Its nearly as sharp, losing out on the Z coating only.

u going ar ninja?

cant manage to open the link la, on FB mobile, it keeps linking me back to FB main page.
