Damn IeR~ Im with BIG EYES when i thought NEX really can trigger sony WL flash.....



Thanks eddy

The flooring tiles spoil it all.. is either you shoot outdoor with raw concrete flooring.. or for me, Ill prefer to shoot half body. Just my personal comment as I prefer photo like this to be as clean as possible

Hahaha I did try to HDR a few photos I took using 3 exposure continuous... but I always dont like the merging outcome .. I guess is just too contrast and artificial for my liking.

Depends on your shooting style. How much perfection are you looking towards. Are you easily satisfied & how sensitive are you towards image quality.

For me I vote 50mm F1.4/1.8 (for 50mm F1.4, my acceptance of its clarity is above F2.2 and above, Im not too sure is there image quality difference for the F1.8 though). The result from the Prime is simply amazing.. both good in its colour & sharpness. Most of my photo from this lens do not require any additional sharpening and colour correction because the result is good enough.. and tend to maintain its original quality than editing it. As for other lens like my Tamron 1750 F2.8, it is good, but lack of something especially with the colour... I tend to do a lot more creative editing on photos taken with tamron than 50mm prime... cause it is harder to get the "wow" effect from this lens... mayb im just not a good user.hehe

If most of your usage is for general fast shooting like wedding, party ..or walkaround, of course tamron wont get wrong.. Focusing speed i have no complain about it.. 17-50mm .. how fast will u want it to be 16-105mm has good review.... but the inconsistent Aperture made me finally exclude this as my option...

I use my 50mm Whenever I have the chance. Other lens are just my backup lens I should get more prime lens, maybe the upcoming 35mm F1.8 hoho

Some shot from my 50mm F1.4 during my Europe trip for your reference hehe :













Like albert said, u can wait for A55 instead.. A700 is still good and love its handling.... perfect manual control... if you like to do Studio Wireless shooting etc with many manual control with 2 control scroll. But A700 is old school.. the Noise performance cant even get close to A550 or A55.... and also no Video + Liveview

Yeah this is at Mersaille South France.. I love the sky & sunlight there... Clear sky with nice shadows... The best thing is.. it is still very Cooling even it is Summer~ just love to stay outdoor.

Wow.. Ier... thats 0.001 second perfect timing.. hahaha... nice

POWER!!!!!! But i don understand how it works?

I want to ask again although i have been asking many times? HAS ANYONE SEEN ANY SHOP SELLING A33 already IN MALAYSIA? So slow le.... I think next month I'll be going to SG... hopefully A55 will b avalaible by then

Mikeshashimi: NIce... I always love abstract photos... is a way to see things a bit differently... keep up the good work.. is okey to photoshop (preferable call it.. Enhancing..less technical) to have that pop up effect for abstract photo like this... very graphic style.

Welcome to sony.. Finally sony dslr get recognize by other brand


I realised that my multi point focusing on my A700 isnt very accurate.. I do a test.... and resulting in 75% of images not properly in focus on most point (other than the center)

Only the Center Spot has almost 100% focus accuracy... while the others are not really usable... Should I send in for calibration? But with which lens should I ask them to calibrate with? any advice? Got another important friend wedding to shoot next month.

Sharing My top favorite shots I took during my trip...Feel free to comment

Thanks.. I love the cafe shot too myself... everyone seems to have the right natural pose. I Use 50mm F1.4 + Tokina 11-16F2.8 for the whole trip.. Tamron 17-50 i leave it at home.. too much lenses to bring..

No lah.. The first picture I think i post here b4 few days ago.. I will wish my photo can be in a magazine too
The Second picture has exposure of 20 seconds, F8. I use TEST button to do multiple flashes on the boats across the river and once near the front (White spot). The white balance is a bit funny n colourful although I can just make it Black & White to solve the problem, but i remained this cause I find it quite unique too..


Thanks. Im in architecture school guess that influence me when doing shooting too. I think im not very aware/sensitive towards the CA problem.. Mind tell me what is it and where so I can take note Personally i love number 16/17 the best... is not easy to find such opportunity ... although I can Crop it nearer but I cant decide if I wanna exclude the tree and environment because they seem to make important subject as well..


I like the 2nd picture the best... If the reflection has an obvious image such as a cat face or anything.. it will be even nicer. But overall very nice..Something that I dont think i'll have the patient to look into


OH!!! cool.. mayb tomolo I can call Uncle Chin to see if it is available already. For the focusing problem.. u knew I have adjusted myself before.. But I only know Turning All the 3 Screws together .. will adjust the center back/front focusing... thats how i get my A700 accurate at the center. But I hardly use the other points... I guess to really adjust all points.. have to really control individual screw separately... I have no idea which screw for what adjustment. Maybe I should just send in for service? or just live with just Center focusing and recompose all d the time

Thanks for the suggestion on #15.... this is a weird processing...fully graphical.. since this picture is almost rescued from and almost under exposed photo hahaha. Do you mean cropping something like this?

Baru called uncle Chin, he said either today or d day after tomorrow A33 will be available at his shop.. hohoho cant wait

Tak Tanya. Dia cuma tanya saya mau PRe order tak.

Without heavy PP? what is your setting in your camera? I like 2nd because of the colour (MTV STYLE)... the 1st photo seems underexposed and the technique doesnt seem to be pleasant on potrait. The 2nd photo NATURAL LIGHTING THE BEST

No need to care bout ppl taste mah.. As long as u like and enjoy it, tat wats matter more. Anyway Is hard to compare these 2 photos n say which u like.. I can say I like the 2nd one because the girl appear prettier in the photo than the first photo.. so very subjective.. Unless u use the same photo and process differently.. then u can ask which one we prefer... again the PP effect preferences varies from 1 person to another.
