LOL blur what u did last week.. gg.com.. u might accidentally did something.. bad.. opps
uh.. if macro is not needed.. then i rather just take close up filter. cause i dont like taking macro shot. . i like landscape shot only XD but just started photography.. dont even know how to take a steady picture wakakakaka. post the picture u took for diamond ring.. i need to take the pic of the design of diamond ring.. the diamond itself.. something like u guys always see in the brochure frm diamond n platinum, lazo diamond and etc XD btw i m selling those lol
*
I dont think macro is suitable for your usage. With proper setting,kitlens is more sufficient. Try dark background + halogen bulb lighting towards the jewelry,use a tripod too if possible.

kitlens 18-55 without raynox

with raynox... NO CROP, jpeg out, resize, imagine its 100% zoom, u can even see included(clarity scale) or crack inside the diamond!

Added on December 21, 2010, 5:47 pm67zai, the close up filter, the only one i can recommend is also the raynox, the reason is simple, those filter are single element(glass/lens)... they have massive distortion that u might not notice or lost of IQ. with raynox (3 element/glass/lens inside) it maintain a very high IQ with min lost.

Macro isn't that suitable for jewelries shooting,I prefer the 1st pic to be put in brochure rclxms.gif

a55 batt life is still acceptable. Can take quite a lot of pics. Enough for your whole day usage. I have issue with my flash draining batt faster than my camera now..need to bring a lot of batts

Bro,what flash you using? Maybe your batts going to die soon? Cause I using f58 and my batteries seldom dry out (1 set).Unless always blast 1/1 tongue.gif Last time my batts dry out very fast also and finally dead hmm.gif

hmm..
since you've used d90, i'd say skip the alpha 2/3xx series or you'd be dissapointed.
Save more and go with a5xx series. This will match/a step up the performance of 450d/d90 nod.gif
*
hmm...i think a550 can't be said as the "match/step up" compared to d90,ergonomic/picture quality/features of d90 is ahead of a550,different class tongue.gif

What's the dilemma you facing? If you are looking for a dslr for beginner usage,A550 is more than enough,provided you do not need the video recording function that getting popular in latest dslr now smile.gif

@chahau,

found some sellers. pmed them but no response. maybe should wait for a while. errr im using my scholarship to buy xD so my budget is pretty much around that much only. wingster? can't find his username yawn.gif

@iamKiet,

dilemma between choosing which one to choose xD
true. but finding a550 sellers are quite hard. gotta wait for someone to sell then quickly buy later xD
thanks everyone for the input!
*
if you are dilemma to choose between d90/a550,I would suggest you to go for d90,however by considering your budget,I think a550 is best suit you thumbup.gif I am a550 user too and I am not gonna sell it,even if I were to upgrade to a7XX/a77 in the future,I will keep a550 as my 2nd body tongue.gif So far a550 still satisfy me,because I take photography as my hobby and I am not professional photographer biggrin.gif

Erm...since it was my first DSLR(dslt*)...my budget <3000...since a55 body already cost 2xxx so i considered to get the standard lens package 1855?...

Please Consult Guys whistling.gif

tamron 17-50 f2.8 is the most common f2.8+zoom lens you can find,2nd hand should be around RM1~1.1k

oic...because the review says it use conventional AF motors and some youtube videos i shocked with the sound....since you guys use that tamron model before...i can rest assured.....haha...grabbing at CNY soon.... brows.gif

btw...you guys use VC or non-VC model? VC much expensive and doesn't have alpha mount?
*
Why not you try it out before buying?For me the sound not that loud,acceptable,sound lvl should be around the same with SAL1870,but AF more speedy,definitely more quiet than the SAM lenses tongue.gif

Alpha mount no VC version cause our body has built-in stabilization flex.gif

so F42 can do everything already la?..ok...step aside f20 now...thanks for clearing the confusion icon_idea.gif
*
Current F42 does not offer you the side swivel function as F58 does. But in Photokina 2010 Sony shown us the F42 replacement which share the same design of F58 with lesser power. F58 was quite bulky in some condition especially when you do not need the extra power,so I am eyeing for the F42 replacement too,the side swivel head is a must after you try using the F58 tongue.gif

ISO?? what do you mean they have transmitter in ISO? I think there are also other remote hotshoes but not for Sony..That's why I have to look for another brand's flashgun too...

So the transmitter has to be fit to an adapter before puttin it on our camera's hotshoe?
*
ISO is the international standard,Nikon & Canon use the ISO hotshoe whereas Sony uses the Minolta design hotshoe,so we have to use adapter in order to use the transmitter smile.gif

not really, but since i've already bought the sigma 17-70mm lens, so i dun see the need for the sal1855. and i am also aiming for the sal55200. but also looking at the tamron 55-200mm lens. how is the performance compared to the sal55200?

i also see the tamron 70-300mm lens on their website, but listed under full frame section. can use in APS-C SLR?

damn.....must get a telephoto zoom lens b4 i travel to japan during cny.  sweat.gif

why do you need tele lens for travel? I use mostly UWA and tamron 17-50 only shocking.gif
