roger that

mastering89: LOL starting to sound like me - I find a common comment I give is that the aperture could've been stopped down a bit.

psychohew: I didn't fancy #1, but #2 blew me away! #3 also! I love the color in #4 - all the different shades of green.

pic spam!! was staring at my cpu window yesterday and snapped something like this.

Hi everyone. NEX 3 user here, mind if I join this thread instead of NEX? Sony Alpha NEX ma, can join either right?

I'm the dude who bought cassplayer's SAL55200 on page 111 of Alpha Thread V49. Just thought I'd update you guys on it, without meaning any harm to cassplayer (buy 2nd hand sure have these little problems right?).

The lens' aperture was not stopping down. I sent the lens to Cheah Camera Repair shop and just got it back today. He said the aperture spring was rusty and broken. he also didn't know it could break Repair cost RM120 FYI. I suck at bargaining Thanks cassplayer for the RM50 refund, that was very nice of you

Here's a sample pic I took of my dog. NEX3 + SAL55200 + Fotodiox A-mount adapter. Quite noisy bcos ISO1600 and not very bright place, plus I suck at noise removal I'm liking the lens

Also want to dispel some ideas that the 3rd party adapter can spoil the lens aperture. I don't think it will, but if it breaks again and it seems like the adapter's fault I'll update you guys again

Cheers

Yes! Wrapped my 50 1.4's hood.

Good to see you here bro! And I'm really sorry for what happened to the lens Didnt know it could become like that also...

well, we all learn something new everyday. perhaps sony didn't put enough lubricant on the lens' mechanism during production (the lubricant coating should lubricate the movement of the spring as well as prevent it from rusting).

aiyo, how the spring looks like? not enough grease, or water penetrate inside?

erm what does stop down means?

use smaller aperture

these are the terms:

stopping down = small aperture = minus f/stop = big f/stop
eg : 1/22

stopping up = big aperture = plus f/stop = small f/stop
eg : 1/4

some of the jargon that being used..

*"stopping" and plus/minus is a verbs (behaviour) to decrease/increase the aperture

helo guys.
went to sony mv yesterday.
they got stock for sony a580. pricing is rm2899.
a little bit expensive.
but then i still take it.

but havent try the camera yet due to battery need to charge 1st. cant wait to go back home. wee!

p/s: the seller tell me sony a55 made in thailand while a580 made in japan. well he said quality wise a580 should be better cos made in japan. issit eh?

maybe after this they make A580 @ thailand to cut cost..
