Wanna ask how many of u all own a softbox? Izzit feasible to buy 1 softbox because i think u need to have a empty space to do shooting and also need multiple flash. Why i ask so is because being poison by yesterday lighting workshop organize by Sony. I google around and can hv a full kit set arounf RM500-RM600 so not sure wanna buy it or not, pls advise.

Ahh right. I dont get the first one. What do you mean by nikon system? unsure.gif Hotshoe for sony = can use right? What to do with nikon? hmm.gif
*
if u use the PT-04S1, the Canon/Nikon counterpart is the PT04NE, which uses the same frequency..
so u can play strobist with canon/nikon/panasonic (all those who uses universal hotshoe) friends..

Range wise, CZ is better..

And YES.. Flash is really-really important

Oh yaa. Those higher ends one use local AF.. Mine cheap one ma.. Have to go to Fn > AF poinnts > Press v 2 times > Select AF point > Press shutter. By that time subject also gone already. doh.gif
Hahaha recomposing also takes time LAH!
If u can train ur hand/eye for re-composing than setting the AF point won't be much of a problem!

Use Local AF lah ALL THE TIME
Just by pressing the center button than it's the center AF! KAN?

Train ur right thumb to stick to the AF dial.. rclxub.gif

^yes u can change it.just push the dial button and focus (S1) before u shoot (S2)
The focus point will be red flashing, it locks at the focus point if u push the right dial arrow
That's why I say u must practice.. brows.gif

Sorry.. I dont get this bro.. now mine is set to local AF (right point) what do i do next? I can change it to centre by pressing the center button.. What if i want to change the point to left side?my focus point is not flashing.. It just comes on when i focus.
I'm doing oke je dgn my a350..
Setkan Local AF..
Look in the viewfinder..
Now its the right side AF-point..
Just push the shutter S1 (half press) and then after that tekan kiri 2x to set to the left AF-point..sometimes push 3-4x just to make sure..
Half-press (S1) again and when the focus point locked baru la tekan habis (S2)..

codyx: when u read review on the tamron1750, most website is using nikon or the canon version which their camera required motorized lens. hence the Conventional motor is noisy.
on sony, we have body motor driven, so the sound is SAME across all any A mount lenses.

becareful when u read review, most review are not base on lenses for A mount which alpha has slightly diff approach. non VC 1750 on canon and nikon faces a lot handshake issue even with high iso on lowlight compare to sony with SSS.

This iz true mang. You buy everything, you end up losing. dont say you know a55 before owning it, yes, you might know. But what do you mean? Put it to auto mode and smap? That one i also know ma... trust me. until now i still havent mastered my manual yet. I've owned my cam for 10mnths. Seriously, i suggest you to get a55+kitlens, f42 since you want flash so much, any tripod, a proper camera bag, rechargable batteries, extra cam batteries.out of budget? What to do.. You wanted so many stuff.
*
wah u come to me lah. we'll learn together, i think can (at least) master the manual (not including exposure lah) in like 2 months hehehe.. the key is practise and ask for opinion from others..

QUOTE(ahtiven @ Dec 28 2010, 09:59 AM)
you probably would not know what kind of photog you are yourself until you really experiment with all types of shooting most if not, listed above. and that takes time. a few months at least. most of us here are not even professionals so why do we limit ourselves to certain type of shooting? e.g. macro shooting? unless you are certain photog celebrity well known for particular shooting (Brian Smith for his portraiture works), you dont have to limit yourself to certain type of shooting.

well, that might be subjective to some.

Codyx, if you have the dough, i would say go add them lens into your drybox. the most important thing to learn photography is passion. the second most important you need is yes, you guessed it right, The Gear. there's no debate to this. for an example, if Joe has been wanting to play with fisheye, without a proper fishlens how the heck does he learn/play with fisheye style shooting?

just my 2 cents.

why f20 cannot use it's lamp to focus in the video? izzit machine problem or this f20 cannot do so? f42 onwards got the red light to focus right? so f42/58 can focus in total darkness w/o pop out flash?

please enlighten me smile.gif
*
u mean the AF-assist light?
other flash have the red light but the f20 doesnt have the beam light.. so cant do so lah..
