QUOTE(zstan @ Jan 7 2011, 08:07 PM) that one he beli for his friend one la.  yes you can use local AF but we are talking at the range of 400mm now ma. the MFD must be like 3 metres or more! hmmm...do you think it's possible to handheld at 300-500mm?? won't the tiniest hand shake affects the output drastically? |

QUOTE(Codyx @ Jan 7 2011, 08:39 PM) manual doesn't mention anything about lens compatibility or whatever....i just have one single focus point 'Dot' at the middle instead of the multiple AF points and i cannot configure the options  your AF is configured to Contrast Detect AF or Phase Detect AF? |

QUOTE(deathbringer @ Jan 7 2011, 11:31 PM) evilhomura89: i got it for RM1.6k. hope it's gonna serve me for a long time to come. but my bloody @#$~!@ fren molested my a33 and turned the focus ring, WHILE IT WAS STILL IN "AF"!!!! luckily i saw it. thank god everything is still functioning properly. "touch wood" did i mention that the lens is bloody heavy?? i think it weighs more than the body and kit lens combined.  don't worry it should be able to resist some mishandling but if done too frequently will result in a malfunctioning AF mechanism |

QUOTE(joejoe2004 @ Jan 8 2011, 01:53 PM) Even full also can go as long as you bring your gear. If it is Nex or SLT workshop, you can still go with yr A580 or the like. I quote from Sony trainer today. Workshop is useful at least for me lah. Sometimes you need to unlearnt, to learn new things. Interesting or not, just go if you have time. really? then i might go for the up-close floral in lake garden next week QUOTE Alpha DSLT ''Up-Close Floral'' Photography -KL- 15.1.11

QUOTE(h_n_s @ Jan 8 2011, 11:55 PM) sifus,i need to ask.. is it worth for me to buy a100 with speedlight including speed light for rm 700. and i can pay installment from my friend.. comment please.. huhu if you're really limited by budget n wants to enter the world of photography, rm700 for a body+kit lens+external flash is not bad i would say. not to mention that a100 is a good body when it was released, might be a bit old but still able to take nice pictures |

QUOTE(vexus @ Jan 12 2011, 01:03 AM) quite difficult to see s580 is the market. Most sony style shop is flooded with slt a55 and a550. well, for sonystyle, probably they're trying to sell off the old a550 stock for smaller shop, usually they don't keep stock n mostly order when customers want it thus a580 is more common in those shops |

QUOTE(zstan @ Jan 13 2011, 10:21 PM) Hmmm.. should be working i guess.. only parts i know malfunctioning is the pop up flash and the syncing with the external flash. oh well, hopefully my camera can become brand new again. =/ although the slightly dirty sensor can't be helped much. seems like a good time to upgrade isn't it? CNY around the corner, if can sell to get some extra moolah then a55 is like a dream come true |

QUOTE(zstan @ Jan 14 2011, 12:01 AM) no point upgrading..after course starts i'd doubt i touch my camera that often anymore. plenty of events in monash throughout the semester so, i would recommend you to bring'em one of the earlier ones being orientation and orientation bash OT: will you be traveling everyday from home to uni??
Added on January 14, 2011, 1:11 amjust wondering, for the free workshop organized by Sony, can I bring a friend along? just to have a look, doesn't carry a DSLR but a canon compact, should be fine right? This post has been edited by evilhomura89: Jan 14 2011, 01:11 AM |
