visited the Sony Center at Atria Mall , they have friendly & chatty sales person
was in rush before kena back to hotel to check out, so only get to test the sal35 f1.8 , sal 85 f2.8 , CZ24 F2 and SAL135 f2.8 (T4.5) STF woot

if money was no problem for me i'd take the sal35 1.8 and cz24 f2. the sal85mm f2.8 is not to say the best but fairly good for its price. the STF is very naisss but MF a 135mm lens is really hard. my hands damn shaky .

some spam pics:

from SAL 135 f2.8 (T4.5) STF

somemore



from SAL 35 f1.8

somemore



from SAL 85 f2.8

zstan : STF rocks. but test indoors and 5minute play i cant say much.

evilhomura89 : your pic is abit underexposed and abit too saturated (the road looks purplish)

fansoption : your KLIMS shots taken with SP90 eyh??

perfect10 : u need ask him/her (your cousin) which focal length he prefers. and does he do macro shots .

light paint + stop motion OMG

this people are nuts!!!
light painting is alredy hard they make a stop motion with it
try look at behind the scene vid (thats for 1 shot) http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id...jLxs&feature=iv

looks like a little crop (bottom part) at the pic posted here where should be signature

late nite spam of Senai Airport (shot 2 days back morning flight)


tweak WB abit, ori pic was cold blue, this one i dunno bcoz didnt calibrate my laptop screen

heheh tweaked a lil bit le
In camera hdr + tweak in ps shadow/highlite + gaussian blur + wb play2

evilhomura : there is 2 type remote commander. One with cable and another use infrared. The IR one not all alpha body can use (a850,a900, nex5, a33,a55 ,etc)

laszlo : pheewitttt. photoshoot lain kali nak ikot haha

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)

kakaka .
yg itu rasanya reflection lampu dari cermin dalam building airport tuh

ini oliginal pic

don say abuse la, say utilize
but sometimes even with the HDR function u still wont get the output u want, there is when photoshop comes in .

i didnt notice the light thingy until after post process. see the oliginal pic, cant see much of the reflection. also i didnt bring it wiv me that time

i tot u can get cheaper somewhere in this forum

argh busy2 week, now trying to read past posts
spam some of macro using kitlens and close up filter

nope no crop. just rotate
my mistake , the first one was with minolta 50mm f1.7 with +10 diopter close up.

anyone going to Zaloon this Sunday for their re-opening

zstan : most probably will go

eddybeh :my hands tremble pretty bad also , this 2 pic is the best i could get out of 100+ pics . better use support stabilizer (tripod , monopod)

hiansitt : yup no crop

Codyx : if u wait and wait , more will come (a77, etc) , then more tougher choice to make . so buy buy buy now

yuhi : if im not mistaken, u need to turn off SSS to get better output with OS lenses.

Happy New Year 2011 everyone

e-jump : i know that place , scary place like about to runtuh at any moment

same grafitti/conteng2

porkchop : thanks. arr i wouldn't suggest getting the Logitech 470 (bluetooth), used it before and kinda sucks battery much compare to my v450 . also nearly everytime turn on laptop need re-connect (pair bluetooth to the mouse) . Anyway congrats for your HOTD

8tvt : HDR the best , if rajin la take both correctly expose background and foreground and combine in PS.

amboi the combo new year + CnY resolution eh
congrats

last 2 week i go outing shoot macro, and one person using 70200 f2.8 with TCx1.4 . with that he could do macro shots/video (using a33/a55 i cant remember).
So my Q here, does TC reduces MFD also by the x1.4/x2.0 ?? or just becoz he could get 400mm200x1.4mm??

if add on TC, there's limitation to what aperture can use???

zstan : then the SAL500 f8 donut or that Samyang 1600mm at alphanatics could do nice macro too (dunno its MFD)

Codyx : u tekan itu 'Fn' then choose the 'AF Area' , the Wide is for multi focussing. 2nd is mid point, 3rd is local af point.

evilhomura89 : i like the first one better. the 2nd one is overhighlighted (dunno the correct term)

long time no spam piccas

Snap few sec shutter at ulu yam river (dunno the name of the place)
don have nd8/cpl at that time so have to set to min aperture (f22) , so near all pic no sharp no more
also most pics come out bland(color) , even if set to vivid .

edited version

5.6k = Sigma 70200 + Tamron 70200 (+/-)

kit lens maaa. what u expect
the sal1855 for me is not sharp but it does the work of a kitlens

true2 , its better than sal1855

this i took wiv my friends a200 + 1870 + close up filter (+10)
exif : f/11 | varied shutter |ISO 200
