previously was using a200..after upgraded to a580..can see a big difference between the 2 camera..really enjoy my a580 right now..haha cant wait to get more lens to play with it

its all about how you use it only, dont tell me you always bump on your front element or to those who use filters, the filters then? the front element is so much larger than the rear element.

eh, my dinosaur got come with the cap leh. still safely in my dry box.

all images are generated from a single RAW file.

I used Photomatix after extracting 7 separate exposures from a RAW file. (-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3)

sony trying to reduce cost by removing all those stuff like hot shoe cover, kit lens hood etc??

Lucky fler. I checked the manual last time for A300, didn't state that it comes with Hot Shoe Cap.

evilhomura89 : dunno lah, from made in japan to thailand. from have caps to no caps. then whut???

some people use tissue at the aperture control lever, but if wanna control the DoF (aperture) u might have to use ur finger but i dunno how to hold la like that .



here i found one selling quite cheap (probably not the cheapest ) but ok la : 55mm reversal ring for Sony alpha

here good link to read bout reverse macro : lhttp://stephenelliot.com/2007/05/15/revers...raphy-tutorial/

wha7ever & Uzumaki Naruto : Thanks for liking the shot!

how to attach the 2 lenses?
using same reversal ring can?

no no no no...
there few ways of reversal macro thingy method. 1 is using 1 lens like the top one. the other is using reversal filter ring. totally different ring


but i think easier to control the aperture (DoF)

nex 1855 + 50mm 1.4 reversed ( mr Sig punya last time TT )

what we should call that ring?
both are reversal rings? kinda confuse right to describe, which is which..
or got any specific name?

lol. my set everything also got.ori body cap, flash hotshoe cap, lens came with hood. that time haven recession i guess.

What recession? I'm one of the early adopter of A300, bought it on the second month after it's released... and a month before the new price is revised.

lolz. i bought it the first month after its released yo~

6 months later i saw its price dropped by rm500 i feel like crying that time.

i got feel wanna get the reversal ring..since it is so cheap..can have a try...keke......but instead of using tissue to control the aperture, got other ways?

Your flash hot shoe cap must have been leftover by some A100 or A700 users/buyers or snitched from a demo unit. Once the A200 came out I can confirm that the flash hot shoe cap is no longer included in the package. All other models that followed, except for the A900 and A850, there was no flash hot shoe cap.

The price drop RM 500 only for you ar.... that one consider lucky lor... I bought my A100 - my very first camera - and 3 months later the A200 was released and the price dropped RM 1000 for me if compared with my A100.

The A200 had better ISO noise handling, better AF speed and higher max ISO setting. All I had over the A200 was the DOF preview button and the flash hot shoe cap!!!

Drop RM 500 is nothing compare to those picture you have taken within that period of time, which is priceless... but still sakit hati la.

eh wait, so if we use reversal ring, the aperture is fixed or what?

thats what i tried to figure out..

haha, looking at the sample images, i think its kinda hard, so i would say raynox is much much easier... of course if got MF-check then it better.
