hazril, RM1850 local APD warranty 2 years found a RM1650 for sg set 2 yr waranty also, but end up get local better

anyway sample shot...24mm f2.8

DOF quite narrow as seen here

What do you expect lol?

Best if you ownself do your research and buy XD

Mikeshashimi:

You could shoot #2 so the Park Royal is floating.

#3 could be brighter at the bottom. #4 not all that interesting. #5 is too wide, you don't know what to look at. #6 has a lot of shadow and highlight but you need to frame it such. Look for the geometry in the shot.

#7 If you had picked a better background it could look like the spoon and fork were having an argument.

#9 white balance too warm; doesn't bring out the colors of the presents.

On to the zoo series - crop off the sides in #1. #4 could better demonstrate the difference in scale. #6 would do better without the effect.

Pavilion - #3 neither wide or focused enough on any subject. #4 not framed right. #5 also a bit too much to the left.

ahpingko: Nice portrait!

lwliam: Love the shot with the legs and its reflections!

zstan: Looks like you need it to get fixed. That is pretty contrasty enough!

Hmmm okay lah she has big lips. No need smile also can.

I like how the color in #5 turned out. Not a fan of the almost-crops of #6 and #7.

shootkk: I like how well-controlled the light is on #1! I am liking your contrasty look.

From left to right:

Sony SLT-A55 - first digital translucent mirror camera.
Sony DSLR-A300 - first Sony Alpha with Quick AF Live View.
Sony DSLR-A580 - possibly the last 'traditional' Sony Alpha dSLR, if A33/A55 sales go way past the A560/A580. Sales determines what Sony will put in their next model.
Sony DSLR-A700 - first advanced amateur Sony Alpha, and the only one with a grip sensor.
Sony DSLR-A900 - first full-frame Sony Alpha.

Meanwhile, the lenses:
Minolta 20mm F2.8 Original, Sony Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 24mm F2.0 SSM ZA, Minolta 28mm F2.8 Original, Sony 50mm F1.4, Sony Carl Zeiss Planar T* 135mm F1.8 ZA.

Missing is an 85mm F1.4 prime and a 90mm F2.8 Macro, as well as the Sony 35mm F1.8 DT SAM, in terms of common primes.

evilhomura89: The Sony 50mm F1.8 DT SAM focuses much closer. The vignetting happens because the wide-angle converter is only meant to make a not-so-wide 35mm (on point-and-shoots) become 28mm or so.

laszlo: LOL well spotted on the trolley wheels!

e-jump: I like the exposure, though I feel it could do with more exposures. Congratulations on the F20! Argh cat misfocus.

fansoption: Bear in mind that you cannot use the F20 to trigger off-camera Sony flashes. If you were that close, you could ask!

ahtiven: The Sony Carl Zeiss Planar T* 85mm F1.4 ZA is different from the Zeiss 85mm F1.4 ZF (for Nikon).

Love your extreme closeups!

kopitiam: Loved my former Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm F2.4 DDR in M42 mount!

mastering89: Nice job on vanishing people!

Anybody knows where to shoot nice kampung style scenery in kl ? Or any old railway tracks that can be easily accessed ? Will the authority chase me away ?

albnok: thanks for the feedback, will take note.

sigma 24-70 f2.8, is it a FF lens?
if mount on APC then the focal length have to x1.5 ?

36AF-4. Bought from Key Color mid valley. Rm380. But tambah 1 diffuser Rm20. Got bounce head but no swivel. Same as F20 but much more worth it. Sony hotshoe summore. Got TTL. But zoom is manual. F20 no zoom.

Do anyone here know where to get the glass type screen protector for A55/A580?
