my flash was overheated from yesterday's shooting...the batteries was damm hot...burning hot...

Erm, cycle batteries?

That's what I used to do.

yesterday my F58 also overheated too , weather hot make F58 fast overheated haha.

if using normal alkaline batteries, is this normal to be hot?

also, will mixing batteries cause the F42 flash to overheat faster?

care to explain abit more on the midtones stuff... I too felt it the photos were a little cold...

I wonder how filters can stick together. if you are using them regularly and cleaning your lens front element and filters once a week. It's almost impossible that enough chemical reactions were to occur to make the filter bond with your lens element lor.

If such a thing really happens, it either means you are too lazy to clean your camera, or cleaning the wrong way, or you are not shooting enough(because your filters are
Still sparkling clean due to under usage. )

blowsh: you might wanna touch up the faces a bit? indeed very sharp. XP my 2 cents

blowsh, sigma ah?? super sharp can see the pores..... u standing very near to them??

zstan, this sellers 24-70 I check is cos when he clean he just wipe the front of the UV filter, he didnt bother to remove the filter to clean the inside..thus the ring bonded already....so imagine 2 years the filter never rotate to remove over time it makan lo..... I saw shashinki the price abit high compared to ebayer worr...i think i am ordering ebay

thanks...i only use Picasa to do touching a little...like brightening...my tablet cannot use other touching tools..haha haha haha...

using Minolta AF 35-70mm f4...i also shock at the sharpness...
also, some of the pictures i use the "macro" switch n move close to them to take it...

wah so sharp leh.....

.....which comes back to my second point. The user dunno how to clean.

well...some ppl might think that having a filter means no nid to clean inside the filter since it wont attract any thing inside...

blowsh: Super sharp leh ur pics....it 'hurts' my eye....lol!

thanks Melv...fansoption...porkchop...eddybeh

Hanging?

Erm, there is a known issue of flash delay, but so far, hanging is quite uncommon lol.

Well, good luck to you then.

1st generation SLT's are seemingly a bit problematic now.

flash delay is liddat one..but i never use pop-up...lol...got F42 edi..

the machine on 'certain conditions' will hang and you'll need to pop the battery out and put em back to reset it...

occur on ALL SLT a55 and a33...even the technician also 拜 me for identifying such rare issue
