QUOTE(Newbieeeeee @ Dec 25 2010, 10:44 AM) 1 question here.. You get little bit of wide angle at cost of losing contrast, sharpness, adding more color fringing and more horrible distortionsWhy when using wide angle converter, you all will say the IQ sucks? What does that mean?  Not sharp?  |

QUOTE(Codyx @ Dec 27 2010, 12:36 PM) 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.... I tried built-in motor/VC (Canon Mount) and screw drive/non-VC (Sony Mount) and from what I experienced, both have the similar noise and the VC one has slightly better stabilizer on very slow shutter speed + viewfinder would see the stabilize effect through the lens however the only downside is bulky and expensive :/  btw...you guys use VC or non-VC model? VC much expensive and doesn't have alpha mount? Performance/IQ I would say both are the same, although some user had complaint the VC has some AF / sharpness problem? |

QUOTE(ahpingko @ Dec 29 2010, 02:37 PM) thx.. They are these kind of people who very looked down on pp enhancement photographer, I have listen some talk and most of them really don't likely to heard the word "photoshop or massive editing" and those experience photographer keep mentioning "1 shot 1 kill", no editing, all lighting and filter set up using few hours and finish in 1 shot = =  thx..albnok.. btw, got people say my pic all not ori...say photoshop...is it photoshop for correcting saturation,contrast or cropping is not allowed...  pro photographer do not do editing? well, i no money to get so many filters, tools,macro lens, full frame camera,etc..i just maximise what i currently have ma..  When you talk about editing, they really felt like you're "cheating". In fact post production is the future role of photography and it safe cost ;bunch of lighting and filter.

QUOTE(shootkk @ Dec 29 2010, 03:50 PM) These people are in denial lar... Don't they know that even in the film days, PP has already been practised. When a photographer develops the film, he/she can adjust contrast and a little bit of exposure. That's basically PP lar. Things like 'pulling the midtones' or 'suppressing the highlights' can be done in those days already. So olden days film photographers that do such PP are cheating also? Heck, if you read some history, even Ansel Adams, the celebrated landscape photographer, also PP his shots! So Ansel Adams is cheating also? Haha they have mention some very minor tweak of exposure on certain picture but they always strongly advise they are always finish the beautiful shot without editing = =, I have see their sample which is amazing and felt like heavily photoshop it and win in what photography awards in England or other country. Those photographer are also from the film era and they said they used to carry power pack and snap the photo using lighting control during that days...A little bit of PP is the norm in photography. Of course there are people who can edit a photo and make it all surreal like and not one bit like the original shot. I categorize those as 'digital art' and I don't consider it cheating. People like Dave Hill I put on the border of photography and digital art. I don't consider it cheating. It's just his way of expressing his views. |
