QUOTE(8tvt @ Jan 4 2011, 03:04 PM) have u attach it with flash and heavy lens? like unbalance only hanging on the neck.. i've attached it with my f58 and tamron 17-50 (about 600 grammes). no problem. but for me, i don't usually hang on the neck. either hang on the side or just hold it.

QUOTE(8tvt @ Jan 4 2011, 03:14 PM) zstan, give some sample shot la, why keep² a55.. using with that tamron ok eh? last time i thought u got back focus issue etc? what sample shot? with a55? don't have wor. back focus is body problem not lens problem  focusing on a55 is much faster and accurate too.

QUOTE(67zai @ Jan 4 2011, 04:23 PM) any sony a33 or a55 user here? can i ask, how come when i shoot with HDR mode, comes out 2 pics whereby 1 is with low exposure and 1 is with high exposure? but my friend using sony a550, his hdr combines both pic ( 1 low + 1 high ) . uh did you use bracketing instead of HDR mode?

QUOTE(deathbringer @ Jan 4 2011, 05:24 PM) is the Sony 55-200mm f4-f5.6 lens a good buy? i resisted getting the twin lens combo for my A33 coz i dun see the need for the 75-300mm lens. however, i tried my friend's sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO DG Macro lens and was hooked. but i dun really need such big focal lengths (plus it's expensive). optically wise its very good and sharp. but the focusing speed is loud and slow. bokeh is not bad too. one of my recent shot with the lens: Girl with DSLR by zstan, on Flickr

QUOTE(evilhomura89 @ Jan 4 2011, 09:26 PM) i think with a580, you shouldn't be worrying about AF in low light condition since AF is mostly affected by the body rather than the lens yealo. you bump your iso to 1600 it won't be 'low light' anymore.

QUOTE(Newbieeeeee @ Jan 4 2011, 09:58 PM) Mine the focus is very quiet wor.. Much more quiet than my 1855 / minolta 35105.. But its really slow... Maybe cuz my standard not so high lah.. I've only tried SSM in KLPF once. no money buy.  where did you use your lens? try using that lens and shoot in a low lit conference room. the whole conference room can hear your lens focusing, seriously. that's why i rather MF during such important functions if got VIP present. QUOTE(deathbringer @ Jan 4 2011, 11:18 PM) nice to hear good reviews about it. it should compliment my sigma 17-70mm lens when it arrives. should i sell my sal1855 kit lens then??  are you in need of cash? if not you never know when you might use it again...in case you buy another body then dun need get another lens..... QUOTE(ieR @ Jan 5 2011, 12:55 AM) zstan: funny thing, after i open up my lens, dunno what i touch, buy my tamron now is so much more silent then previously... lol  got SSM liao a?

QUOTE(deathbringer @ Jan 5 2011, 11:51 AM) not really, but since i've already bought the sigma 17-70mm lens, so i dun see the need for the sal1855. and i am also aiming for the sal55200. but also looking at the tamron 55-200mm lens. how is the performance compared to the sal55200? i also see the tamron 70-300mm lens on their website, but listed under full frame section. can use in APS-C SLR? damn.....must get a telephoto zoom lens b4 i travel to japan during cny.  i still keep my kit lens though. won't know when i will be using it how much is 55-200 tamron? if its pricier then get the 55-200 sony lor. not sure about the performance as nobody here i know uses it. yes can use on APS-C.

QUOTE(ieR @ Jan 6 2011, 01:21 AM) not sure leh, its a hardware issue, i think mac also like that, maybe i go try mac at macshop tomolo... but i dount i would like mac lor... i cant play my FO:new vegas. i dont stack my project, but then each project does have over 300-500 pictures (wedding ma). dunno... maybe i too used to my old way of workflow using old software where it display 100% details photo in less then 1 sec, so i can scroll up down to compare with less then 1 sec, vs Lr which require more then 1 sec to compare/to change the photo. but then Lr has rating feature vs my old old software la... or maybe its just me, maybe i am on the fastest track, coz i dont have other people to compare to. but my old c2d laptop is really really really slow la. but photoshop is fine. what's your problem?!!! get one MAC just for dedicated photo processing and your current PC as gaming PC la!!

While it might be a bit encroaching to hover your camera over the stuff... you could crop and adjust the perspective to make it pattern-y.
yes my backfocusing body haunts me again!! crop and adjust the perspective? mind to enlighten me? ooo i heard TT! This post has been edited by zstan: Jan 6 2011, 09:53 AM

QUOTE(evilhomura89 @ Jan 6 2011, 12:47 PM) guys, wanna ask is a blower n lenspen a must for keeping our lens clean? i've been contemplating whether to get the lenspen n rocket blower from mitmivec for rm66... so far i've only used the cloth supplied with spectacles spectacles cloth might have micro elements(if u just leave it on the table) which will scratch your lens(though the scratches may not be visible under the naked eye).. lenspen is using a carbon tip to clean which makes it more easier to clean..especially cleaning those smudges... erm..not sure what rocket blower does..i just using a normal blower... if really cheap ones can get at about rm20-25...lenspen i got it for rm20...all in all less than rm50 ba.
