the extra extra functions like HDR/sweep panorama/multi frame noise reduction is just extra functions, some non-alpha user even say gimmicks to attract market. extra functions like that makes life easier but still cant beat the power of RAW images and manipulation (photoshop)  nod.gif

IMO these functions will really add a lot into my photography and save time for me in post production. laugh.gif i will surely abuse them gao gao if i have....especially HDR n multiframe noise reduction...

Guys, just to let you all in penang please be careful when you buy the following items in any 2nd hand market as my car was broken into.

Sony Alpha A300
Carl Zeiss 16-80 F3.5-F4.5 with B+W filter
Sony 50mm F1.4
Sony F58 Flash

both have it's pro and cons....

CZ16-80, u get sharpness and wider angle of vision .
if 28-75, u get f/2.8 which is quite useful indoors.

CZ16-80 is much more of kitlens replacement, and if u are getting 28-75, make sure u are comfortable with the range.

PErsonally, I use Sigma 28-70, it's not really as wide as you think.
I get used to a 28mm prime before buying the sigma

i think he was comparing with the CZ 24-70 la.

I think the focus went to his sleeves instead of his eye..how to avoid this problem in future?? reviewing on the spot is kinda time consuming worr...

1. ask the model give you some time...slowly focus..

2. practice Manual focus... the more you practice...the more accurate your focusing..

3. buy a camera(a55) which has face detection tongue.gif

The thing about the tamron 17-50 is that Sony users are using the older version of the lens whereas canon n nikon users are using a newer version one. ......

wohooo ayam back from thailand~~~~

threw my vertical grip away( a bit regretted cause damn hard to take vertical shots during live view) and set my camera on program mode on 90% of the time... lazy to think so much for this trip..buahahaha....

and i think my dinosaur body's sync with my flash gun cacated liao ( must be because of the fall in Korea cry.gif )...even though the connections are good(used blue eraser clean gao gao d)...sometimes the flash just won fire for no good reason... cry.gif..

and when i just simply shoot at f22-32...omg the picture sooooooooo many dust spots.... more signs to retire this aging body liao.. grumble.gif tongue.gif

going to send my camera into sony centre once again after new year... sad.gif

Told ya the vertical grip is useless laugh.gif

eh eh ITS USEFUL larrrr... i tried to remove it to reduce the weight and want to see how it feels like if i were to buy an a55 in the future ...but with the tamron 17-50 on my a300 the whole weight distrubution is soooo uneven...even more so when i hold it in portrait orientation...vertical grip really helps in this sense.can hold my camera comfortably with one hand~...

mind to share what photography project do you have in mind now that requires a body with f2.8 lens n external flash?

past project can a? photoshooting lor... i want the bokeh and the sharpness...from my noob experience..somehow with the same settings...my picture looks sharper if i shoot with flash.... unsure.gif

great that u already made up ur mind .

on the side note, grabbing a 50mm prime is not a waste... u gonna buy it after all


ask all other forummer, almost 8/10 of them have a 50mm

primes are good in terms of sharpness and experience not to mention the large aperture  rclxms.gif

for myself , i used primes for a few months namely 28mm and 50mm for all my shoot until i made up my mind to specialise in portrait photography and get a zoom.

even that, i still plan to keep my primes biggrin.gif just cant let it off...love it too much

P/S : u can still zoom wif primes, use ur legs

50mm lens is one of the last lens i will buy lor. for me la. laugh.gif

2.8 was recommended by most of my contacts....i was brief to get one and dump the kit lens.....nobody saying kit lens was bad....it just my dedicated upgrade anyway icon_rolleyes.gif ....i'll use the lens for multipurpose as i believe it will be slightly better than the kits lens in most way....

still....ex-flash was my main priority.....i just want to spend my buck for the best purpose....not planning for any soon upgrade or add-ons after this....hope you guys understand....
*
i got my ex-flash before the f2.8. icon_rolleyes.gif

though the lens is much better in many ways than a kit lens with a f2.8. i can leave my flash in my bag for most of the time now.
