yeap, the safest bet if its a special occasion we cant afford to screw up on jpeg.

yea..but it is quite strong though...last nite my friend using D300s and a sigma 18-50 F2.8..the image i see quite the same..lost yellowish ambience feel...XD..

actually if i bring my prime, i will use it without flash..i love just the natural lighting...

i never set RAW.. maybe i worry about the size..

btw, is the product worth getting??

Wide Conversion Lens 0.45x 55mm (with Macro Adapter)

i plan to use it on 18mm...but i think got vignetting...anyone tried?

wide conversion lens

for starters....try to leave the flash on auto mode unless you are really sure on what you are doing..and i don't usually meddle with flash compensation...

8tvt : lol ada angin kuat that time , also she budak only lerrr

ahpingko : post the pics here .
also i would say no need the wide angle adapter . may vignette @18mm and also most certain will have CA. see this pic i took link and even at f/8 the output still abit soft (link)

got Q here:
1-Sony got sell the external mic for video recording for sony a33/a55/a580?? i know there is for Nex but can it be put on non-Nex hot shoe??
2-other recommended brands or product or link for external mic for vid recording ?
3-do i have to use selotep to mount the normal ISO hot shoe mics to my alpha

oh..haha..
nvm la...btw, raynox compared to reversing ring technique..which is better?

no need wide buy raynox hehe..

imho raynox better. u can control ur DoF Aperture easier

speaking of raynox, anyone have any photos taken using raynox+1855 at max magnification? i would like to see how it performs with 1855... thanks!

Pic spam!

One pic only.

Firebreather!


C&C pls.

EXIF please

i think i posted before.. u need to have the telephoto lens to get it bigger..

guys, wanna ask for minolta lens, cross X n non cross X wat difference? and Maxxum? how to differentiate? new to minolta lens. XP

zicron : Here you go!

EXIF:
ISO: 1250
Exposure: 1/320 sec
Aperture: 4.5
Focal Length: 60mm (I'm using the 24-85mm f3.5-f4.5 lens)

yahor...if i use 18-55 with reversing ring..hw can i control the F??

haha i don't want exposing the back of the lens.. later scratch how?

viruz019: Congrats! Welcome to the A580 club:D

zstan: Our dinasour comes with those sticker on the hot shoe also from what I remember. From what I know, A100, A700, A850, and A900 comes with hot shoe cap, the rest doesn't!

shootkk: Like that fire-breather shot.

ahpingko: Reverse ring technique is very expensive... although the ring thing would just cost you few ringgit but you're exposing the rear lens element which is not protected!

Crossed X and Non-crossed X is no difference. Only the style of the word is different. Maxxum is the brand name for Minolta SLR cams in the US while in Europe it's call Dynax. In Japan it's called ..... ALPHA! That's how Sony came to call it Alpha!

Minolta used the crossed X style on the name MAXXUM but later reverted to normal wording when EXXON Mobil sued them for infringing on their trademark on the crossed X issue. So crossed X styled wording on lenses are limited in numbers.

to all : thanks for the kind wish

Awesome color and composition. I can feel the heat from here.
