zstan: Yes, walkable. You don't need to follow Google Maps' suggestion as that is too long! Just cut through the back of Sek Yuen, Maybank, and pass the road and you're there already.

agreed. cheating is those like super imposing 1 picture on another, or cloning out a huge chunk of details from the picture. that's a bit of cheating IMO.

I think it's Zaloon, uncle chin had Reno his shop.

ar? so Zaloon now change name? hmm.gif

thx for the reply, yuhi. i see that u're also funding for the same lens in ur siggy. good luck.

i guess the newer version with OS should be better since it's with HSM. i thought i could save some money coz OS is already built-in with the A33. smile.gif
*
i have the canon version for sale unfortunately. laugh.gif anyway, if my memory serves me well, this lens is already discontinued lor....

a full body shot might work better IMO. and the sky is totally overblown. should stop down a bit and fire flash or do a HDR picture or with a polariser or a ND filter. my 2 cents. blush.gif

QUOTE(deathbringer @ Dec 29 2010, 05:32 PM)
i'm not really brand-specific. i just feel that the 17-70mm lens suits my needs and should compliment my 18-55 kit lens. i was aiming for the SAL18250 telephoto lens instead but i foresee that i'll just under-utilize it. if tamron offers a similar 17-70mm f2.8 lens, then i do not mind. smile.gif

zstan: it states that it's "new" on Sigma's website. i think it's the non-OS, non-HSM model that was discontinued.
*
how does the 17-70 replace your kit lens? the f2.8 is not constant wei.

QUOTE(sharksuke @ Dec 29 2010, 05:34 PM)
guys...
Need recomend for beginner
A290 n a390..
Its worth to buy?
*
its good enough for a beginner. though nothing fancy though. but i like the slightly bigger view finder on the a290 though. if can save some more money, might as well get a sony a33.

i thought Studio Zaloon aka Sony Alpha Pro Shop since late 2009 ago (not sure the exact time though)?
maybe they just expand their business to bigger lot..
because as i remember, that time got function at there..

add-on: anyone receive msg for the invitation??
got photo contest eh.. tongue.gif

*
i know too. so i was wondering if its the same shop or not? if its different, why are they opening the same type of shop in a same small building? hmm.gif

use higher shutter and small aperture with flash and use a tripod whenever possible. smile.gif

QUOTE(ieR @ Dec 30 2010, 12:22 AM)
get better shutter speed will not capture ur handshake, so u can use manual 1/160 with F8 and shoot, use the flash TTL should be sufficient. u can bump ur iso if u wish.


Added on December 30, 2010, 12:27 ambtw guys, fast fast get ur A33/55/580. the A560 might delay till april~ and A55/33/580 might be empty shelves for next few months.

since korea (considered) in war, raw material export has been stopped to kept as reserves (to rebuild korea if really war)... so japan electronic industry is jammed. taiwan will resume its hightech industry coz china provide raw material. china will not export to japan due to political reason... Sony now nego with US for raw material... sony korea sensor plant also stopped.) dunno the rest of the hightech industry how...

NO MONEY LA HAIYO! THEY GOT 1 MILLION STOCKS ON THE SHELF ALSO CANNOT AFFORD LA! BUY WHAT BUY?! ph34r.gif cry.gif

I rmb this from hatyai..this is the one where you finish the coconut drink then they put the ice cream in it??
it's cheap and yummy...too bad we can't get it here

18-250 is for those who wants a greater focal range without the need of changing lenses
of course the IQ at the ends will be affected due to optical limitation

no coconut drink la. he cut open the coconut and then pour away the juice and put those ingredients nia.haha
