DIY grip for the A55!

ahpingko: Working on mine; if not working remove the WWW. or add the WWW.

Look at your flash - 90 degrees means facing the sky. 0 degrees means forward.

zstan: My Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm F1.8 ZA has the T* coating but my Carl Zeiss Flektogon 35mm F2.4 M42 DDR did not - and yet, it is just as contrasty, flare resistant and sharp!

As far as I know Kul | Mo0 got his before the OS version came out so it's the HSM version.

fansoption: Can, just make sure it's the re-chipped version. If it's not, send it to Sigma and they will rechip it (under warranty, should be free.)

shootkk: Nice #4, though slightly cropped on the lady. I like #10 too.

There was a 12x F2.8 zoom in the Panasonic FZ20 - though it is a smaller sensor, where such designs are possible.

Handicams have 12x F1.6 zooms!

evanttc: Eat roti canai everyday. It's not impossible to get whatever lens you want.

zstan: I can focus a wider-angle rangefinder faster than a SSM lens at 200mm. It's just a matter of knowing how to. Plus most rangefinder shooters get familiar with the focal length and can shoot at the hip, at hyperfocal distance.

wingster: Don't forget the 17-70mm F2.8-4.0 has OS also.

8tvt: Could use a better promo shot.

e-jump: Kecoh lah the orange shirt fella in the background!

johnmeng: Very plain shot - look for a pattern in the scene and make it art.

albnok..how can i take a full body portrait with nice bokeh background using 50mm F1.8?..or should i try 300mm F5.6??..lol...coz previously i try using my prime to shoot whole body, but not so bokeh..

my macro

how u take oh? you shoot at the MFD @ f1.8 sure got bokeh one.

I think he's tlaking abt SAL.. Cuz NEX no 55-200.

i wan whole body la...stand quite far...that why i see less bokeh...lol

bokeh oso depends on the distance from ur subject to the background.... the further the background more bokeh u'll get

u can check here for the DOF

Btw, getting my A580 this Saturday & hopefully lens stock available by then...

whole body a.. then really need 300mm lo.haha.

shot @ f1.8...you need longer focal length in my opinion to have a better bokeh background....

^wa sangat hijau!

then i have to stand very very far...

i try @ F1.8 also...quite the same bokehness with ur pic...i need moar..

nice!

ahpingko: You should try both. Seriously!

okok...weekend i try with 75-300 at 300mm F5.6..see how..haha...

Then get the Zeiss 85mm f1.4 or the 135mm STF. Sure can get kau-kau bokeh that will blow you away!

not so rich...i just wanna optimize my current lens...hehe..

any recommendation?
no subject at the moment..
that was shot around 10PM where the whole family already tired and sleepy..
just got it last night btw.. donno when can try some..
