Canon 450D
18-55 kit lens

nola just wan show i can take good pics with any system buahahahha

thanks! erm, if you haven't know, my camera is still at workshop!!

go try both lens lor...different people different taste...

erm why will hand hurt? but very hard to set the AF point on the a290 so i didn't bother to use it much. =/

my pop up flash rosak mar. external flash also can't use. take more photos la. don't restrict yourself.

either one also not good la. buy both together only good.

longer focal length means you don't need to go soo damn near to your subjects to shoot macro.

for example to shoot that tiny bug on that leaf.

if i have a 30mm lens, to get 1:1 i need to go as near as maybe 10-15cm close to the bug before i can get that shot.

with a 100mm lens, i can work at a distance of maybe 1 meter away? in this way, i can also not scare the bug away. some bugs are really sensitive towards movement and sound.

haha i've only played around with a 50mm macro minolta for awhile before. not really sure about the exact measurements.

but yeah, longer focal lengths usually mean more room for working around and don't need go so close to the subject.

The beach and the big blue sky....well not that blue actually..Hard to get a good sky colour at 2pm in the afternoon. =(
