Too bad I didn't buy it earlier ... most of my video assignment had been done by my classmate (the 550D armys = =)

prox: wah!! a55 + 16-105... epic haul! Welcome to the Alpha geng.

I will be getting 50mm macro lens..hopefully soon enough. I prefer to take close-up picture.

16-105mm will be my day to day normal usage lens. Excellent built.

550D nothing la... phase detection is the way to go... lol... (kidding)

alot of hauling this month by fellow alpharians....

wow... feel happy for u

im looking to get a55 in near future too. is the camera balance with the lens?

post some pics with ur new 16-105mm ya...

Sony and Minolta 50mm Macro F2.8 has awesome bokeh and sharpness in F2.8 compare to 50mm F1.4 (although they serve in different purposes)

Some people may felt weird to serve as macro but for me which used for almost 3 months and I have to said this is a great macro+portrait combo lens I ever seen !

will post up picture soon. I am still learning..newbie in SLR/SLT..

I would say it is balance but the whole thing is kinda heavy since 16-105mm lens is metal barrel. 470gm. Body 440gm.

Hope I can keep poison away for a while before damaging my pocket further.

where you bought A55? sony style?

I got myself (Sony 50mm Macro) in an insane (cheap) price ... maybe you can try your luck because the lens is very rare

any particular reasons that you stuck with Sony?

when the temptation to switch to Canon is so strong with all those L lenses available at will?

from Uncle Chin, Studio Zaloon. If i am not mistaken, no more stock. Luckily i called him to reserve 1 today otherwise i will go home empty handed.

fixed

nola.

his college can rent him for..free?

his aunt also using canon system...can easily borrow also..

wow...great...how much u bought it?

all in..close to 4k

L lens is good for wild life or extreme whether photography xD ... and it's like the Carl Zeiss price leh D:

I'm still going with both system later on but lazy to invest Canon lenses at first because I have a great Sony lens right now xD + EVF really give me the "FF Feel" I want although it wasn't so good as OVF

ooo..the tokina?

Sexy back~

LOL... what happened to Alphanatics site? now blue.. -.-'

is it due to some technical prob or copyright issue coz the site used the 'a' logo? hmm...

yeah rite, orange page has the alpha atmosphere.... hu hu

maybe its something temporary...

amadeo:

Can you post this to the street price list:

Sony SLT-A33 + Sony 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 DT SAM - RM21xx
Sony SLT-A55 + 8GB Memory Stick Pro Duo HX = RM21xx
Sony NP-FW50 for NEX-3/NEX-5/A33/A55 = RM2xx

mintii: Nice #1!

freddy manson: Am loving the bridge, but better cropped into a panorama.

ahpingko: Wah #1 now that's something I haven't seen before! How did you get the guinea pig to pose?

Mikeshashimi: Yes the styles are corrupted - our Site Admin maza is figuring it out.

fansoption: Even if it is not HDR, it looks perfectly exposed.

gjtan: Maybe you could call the girl in #2 to look towards you? This side shot not so 'immersive'.

zstan: If a HDR shot has noise, it is lack of knowledge on the photographer's part. He/she needs to expose one more +2 EV shot to be used as the shadows.

e-jump: LOL #3! I would get a tighter shot of the bride and groom's seats. The shots are a bit busy.

zstan: Nice sexy back shot (though a bit underexposed.)
