lwliam: Not quite feeling it with the two pillars. Eh are the other pictures approved besides the blue Exige?

viruz019: Look for the GGS screen protectors.

zeipher: What lens is on the SRT? Looks interesting!

zstan: The flash hotshoe only comes with the A100/A700/A850/A900.

hazril: Nice #1!

ahpingko: If you are using AWB and you used flash with a brighter aperture/slower shutter speed/higher ISO you'd get a lot more ambient warm light.

No, the wide angle converter only pumps it up to 16mm-ish before vignetting kicks in.

Reversing the lens itself is less easy.



Reversing another lens, in front of your current lens, is easier, but if it's a Sony/Minolta lens you need to figure out how to open the aperture blades. Also, the 50mm F1.4 is best for this application because its rear element is big enough.

Also, you'd need to use the telephoto end or face vignetting. The magnification is the ratio of the focal length of the lens on camera, to the lens reversed.

Let's see who can figure out what the magnification of a 50mm reversed in front of a 75-300mm lens set to 300mm, is!

mastering89: There is the ECM-CG50, a shotgun mike for the A33/A55/A560/A580. I have a review unit with me right now! It includes a cold shoe adapter so it can mount on the Alpha iISO hotshoe.

You could buy a Seagull SC-5 hotshoe adapter to use third-party normal ISO hotshoe mikes, and it doubles as a hotshoe adapter for radio triggers.

I like the concept of your #1 video!

shootkk: Nice!

eddybeh: Crossed X - first batch, tended to get sticky aperture blades.

Mikeshashimi: If there is just one lens and it is reversed, you cannot control aperture or focus from camera.

If you use the reverse lens in front of main lens, you can zoom, set aperture, and even focus!

The magnification would be 6:1 no?

In the event only 1 lens is used (reversed), how then do we focus?

Albnok: when i posted it up, it looks ok, after a while, the fab died... so now i understand what you mean..

what u mean by approved apart from the Exige? by the shop owner? as far as i know, i can use all the pics (just be careful not to show in the pics what equipments are used in the working bay)

trivia answer: 6:1 (just noticed mike answered, oh well)
