divert topic abit....

wanna ask anyone got the new octopus tripod which can become a monopod also?? just wnana test the durability....well i am not expecting manfrotto or even benro quality, but at least usable for the occasional need for tripod (i.e parties/fireworks/group photo)

i recommend the 16-105 a budget full walk around lens...... but now I am walking with 10-24.....uwa is poisoning, but some of my shots too much at 10mm, feel so dizzy now

Ps: I think iq suffering is more referred to things like softness at full open aperture, blurred sides, etc (purple firinging/ca counted??).... normally happen at full open aperture, but i think it can be solved with stopping down but of course u need slower shutter speed if ur in a not so good lighting which can cause handshake issues

ahtiven, looks ok without pixel peep, center sharpness on the net thingy looks spot-on.... but i guess softness can only be detected if someone used wide open aperture and group shot (u can see the ppl at the sides all soft-ing out.,... but softness happen to all lens though, even my 24-70 also same, i have to step down 1 stop

worst on my 10-24 now i constantly use around f4.5-5 (unless i need the wider aperture)

soft tak??

ooo bro, f42??? well i think the screws are normal philips lo...if ur challenging enough can take it apart.... i think this guide might help u??

ejump and mastering, both very nice shots!!

anyway first purchase for 2011....home minister gonna kill me

Logitech Bluetooth mouse (cincai snipe cos testing lens)


F58 (I am having a problem with the contact, the body does not detect the flash when first mount...but after I used my fingernail to scratch the contact points, then the flash detect properly....do u think I should send the body in to service center or the scratching of contact is "normal"??)

linkin, your shot okla.... do u have any closeup shots??

btw, i jsut use my nails to clean the flash hotshoe...i guess it works...save the trouble of sending to service la...

Alex, i recommend sony f58
But if too expensive can go for f42 first, like me last time, then now upgrade

Fansoption, new packaging?? Looks same all the accessory also same, worst of all never give free 4xAA, my f42 last time got gif free sony 4xAA

Anyway the free batt is just for the lol, got freebie better than nothing

congrats bro!! ehahheaae... I saw it this morning......

guys i think this is a stupid question, but I have to ask to clear my doubt, In A or S mode, the f58 I cannot control flash output ka?? (i,e 1/8 or 1/6)

Is it only M mode I can control flash output??

bro hazril, thanks alott..... later go back I go experiment./..sadly my unit didnt come with manual, maybe kena bolot byshop owner...i go find thanks

ier, -1 means its super high quality and worth for money, that once u get this the rest can buang???

ehh wanna ask the f58 weatherproof ah??

ier battery collection is uber.....imagine that is all eneloop limited edition colour.....so colour full

looks sharp to me too...... need to 80-100% crop then can see

ier, 2400 good good...but my imedion 2100 tends to overheat fast when using quite frequently during events coverage (battery become hot, not the flash) is yours normal ah?? I have to move to eneloop so the battery comparment dun get so hot...

this is another stupid question, outdoor, background bright, so I need to use flash to light the model front, but problem is I cannot bounce cos no ceiling I think use the diy bounce card also might not help cos still nothing to bounce from...unless I cobra to the ground and bounce from there? or point direct flash to the subject? ps. I dont have diffuser or maggi cup, cos I learned from sifu's say, practice with that you have and u become more pro from there.....
