ooo nice nice.... so ngam got whiteboard can do nicely

cjlai, can help get the rokinon BG for a230 kah? got two people want.. my friend and newbieeee

to all sifus, i have a very tight budget, however i need to try out macro shooting as im doing a business soon which requires me to take really close up and sharp shooting.. but i cant take out that rm1k+ to get a good macro lens.. so i browsed around lowyat forum.. found this 0.45 wide angle conversion lens with macro.. so just wondering as a beginner.. is this good enough to use? by the way the photos that i need to take.. mostly diamond rings or necklaces

forget all those. get a raynox 250. can pm cjlai he selling

but still need telephoto to get it big..

raynox is rm250 right.. aw..

too bad i just sold out my last pcs this morning....

currently out of stock oredi

btw, try get cheaper macro lens la....

http://www.dyxum.com/lenses/detail.asp?IDL...-100-F3.5-macro

or sony 30mm macro. or sony 50mm macro.

so if my budget is below rm200.. wide conversion lens good? XD LOL

depends what are you going to do with the pictures lo.. if you don mind terrible IQ..then by all means get those converters..

uh nvm i ll get the raynox ~~ tonight test test XD rm250. damn it

nice! you can see raynox awesome result. btw attach which lens?

67zai, there is a big diff between macro and close up. if u plan to shot thing that is not as small as insect, u do not need macro! in fact, when u shoot macro, u need to stop down to F8-F22 to get better DOF (larger in focus area) and u need a FLASH($$$) for it.

if its just jewelry, rings necklace, any kitlens can shoot it! just shoot it and crop it out, the minimun focus distance will give u some distance from the subject and max of DOF so u can crop it out later.

btw, with raynox, u can even shoot diamond serial number! that is too close!!!!!

oh ier here liao. maybe u can show him ur diamond shots?

erm im using kit lens.. 1855 that one.. i duno wo.. i tried taking pictures of diamond rings.. quite.. bad lol.. meaning i dont need macro? i just need normal +10 close up filter will be good enough? btw mind teaching how to.. make that diamond ring nais nais in the photo? such as wat colour or what to put as the background and stuff XD

why not u tell us exactly how u wanna shoot ur diamond? no sifu la. noob only. =/

18-55 with raynox is awesome already.

i just back from work... diamond ring is not about macro, i used to think must use macro, then many times i borrow my raynox to friends, and i have to make do with what i have on hand, a kitlens, to shoot diamond rings (for wedding photography).... later will post up some sample... coz i dunno where i put all the picture lol... just heal from high fever and flu.. still blur blur what i did last week
