tv3 now showing light painting.. more to graffiti arts i think..

fixed focal length got advantage...most of the time, the images will be sharper...depends on how u use it, it can have many usage..

but, firstly, max out ur usage on kitlens..must shoot more..hehe..try liao and u cant achieve something, then only u ask whether is the hardware limitation of urs, or lack of skill to achieve that thing..dont be a gearhead..buy best body + get CZ lens..at the end, photos only so-so..then talk cock alot like a pro..but no photos presented..

and try to pickup some post processing skills...it is essential to digital photography nowadays..90% of the superb photos on the market have some processing on it already..it is more important, when u have only entry lenses or kitlens or noob lens..post processing can help u enhance the photo to look better..

I terasa kaw kaw lol..

Anyway, Post-processing is quite good actually but for people that are really busy, one shot one kill technique is rather better.

Summore need quite powerful hardware to PP~

35mm is not wide la on APS-C.

it's a 'normal' length focal length(same focal length as our eyes).

ok, any idea wat else the kit lens can do..??
i am having prbm using A,S mode la...duno hw to use...
whn happen this i will change to M....thn set wat i wan thn shoot...if not good i set it again...
coz if i set A thn oni A can be adjust...

u gearhead meh..lol..

err..i just give example only la...35mm F1.8 somehow is wider than 50mm prime ma..lol..for me, it is wide prime liao..lol..i dont care is APSC or full frame..35mm just 35mm...better than 50mm..

like this:

-when u wan to get background blur, u will tend to use A mode..more..it is the same, just stick to low A, if u wan to shoot portrait...normal usage, i just stick to F8..i mean outdoor shooting la..for landscape, u can go up to F11..if u wan...just try it out..for myself, when on kitlens, i usually go A mode..F8..when on prime, i usually F2.2..thats all..haha..anyway, just experiment it on the spot..

-when u wan to shoot slow shutter, like smooth silky waterfall or water surface or light trail...use S mode...then try put 10sec - 30 sec..btw, this normally u cant use on daytime..hardly la i mean if without ND filter(which can enable u to use slower shutter)..for myself, i never use this mode...lol..if i wan to use slow shutter, normally i in the A mode too...i will turn to highest A..and see which is the slowest shutter i can use..hehe..coz, when u wan to use slow shutter, mostly u will want to go as slow as u can..so just bump up the A and use minimum ISO..u will be at the slowest shutter possible at that time(with correct exposure)..

well, at least this is wat i am doing la..i just share oni..correct me if i am wrong..

lol no offense but, thinking that a 35mm(on APS-C) still doesn't make it a wide prime, although it is wider than a 50mm prime. wide primes are those below 35mm le.. 24mm,28mm or 16mm for that matter...

i scared the newbie will get confused of what is wide focal length,what is ultra wide, what is normal , what is telephoto...etc..

sorry ya no offense

For APS-C .. I think should grade on that xD:

Ultra Wide : 10mm ~15mm
Wide: 16mm~28mm
Standard: 30mm~40mm
Portrait: 50mm
Portrait(Telephoto): 85mm~135mm

@ahpingko 35mm on APS-C is not a wide angle prime, instead it should be call "Standard/Normal" lens; that have the closest focal range as our human eye :/

does it means future A900 replacement also will be DSLT?

Very likely yea wakaka.

Lol. Attempt to poison people must run one. Later people throw things at your head haha..

No la. Its just a joke.

haha, so the lens is good ?? ultra wide lens ??
wat effect can the lens do ??

got my a580+16105+BG.

In the end got 16105 rather than 1750. Cuz uncle chin say after few yrs 3rd pt coating will start to come off. He said if you have flash, 16105 and 1750 is about the same alrd.
