Bellows increase the distance between the lens and the sensor (like a souped up version of an extension tube!) Something like what those really really old cameras have in front of their lenses. (correct me if I'm wrong) *newbie here*

okay, need feedback. rm 1900, for a New made in Japan(todays unit in market all are made in thailand) unit A550 Body Only. from sony centre.... get or wait for A7 (who knows another year to go...) or wait for the Faster and smarter AF of A560/80

What's the best price for Sony mount 17-50f2.8 Tamron in d market may i ask?

haha...forgive them ba..it's a long day for them..n it's a hot day. maybe that's y d ICI melted a bit  and forgive me for being lazy to pp, soften those details..

Oh..so it's really RM13XX...thought thr's a cheaper alternative...so is this lens  ??

GOSH! it has backfocusing problem too??i can bear with the slow AF speed though, but not focusing problem..have to think twice then...maybe i should stick with the 50mm F1.4 plan..

ieR, u should make a video on step by step how to do the calibration... i'd like to learn too

wait i got chance to pinjam tx5 from wife first(this one need to slowly wait)... else i have nothing to record, u wont wan me to record with webcam... LOL...

zstan: mine no back focus, infact, i purposely tune front focus, now picture turn out the way i wanted it, more front focus means the DOF end nearer hence more bokeh (not really obvious la, but still...)

i manage to learn how to work around the 3 screw. it will take more time if u screw up the corner calibration... and u wan to avoid that. i calibrate by 90 degree straight, coz 45degree no feel... then i shoot on a subject i prepare hang in the air, with all AF points, if all is sharp, then only i test it on the 'focus chart' because sometimes, the focus chart is not really errr 100%, rely on subject is better because its more like 'practical' is there. and i always tune a little front focus... so more of front is sharp then back (who wans to see the back)ear, hair or watever behind which u cant see it in the first place) is sharp?

here i found a tutorial on fixing the BF/FF problem. what surprised me is the pic of the KM 5D is made in ________    http://www.dynaxdigital.com/sony-alpha-700...icseen#msg78289
