42mm+Raynox AF even MF also easy!

going to dig through garage sales now... have you try to mount it on 49mm lens before? using it on NEX

yuhi, this photo damn meaningful!!


if u get 35mm F1.8, i think u will very seldom use that 50mm F1.8..haha...if want bokeh, go for 35mm F1.8..coz 30mm F2.8 cant give much bokeh, unless u go closer to that subject...maximum bokehness is at 1:1..

fansoption: i like #1,#2!!..vry nice!!!...smooth pleasing colorss! #7 quite unique..i never think of snapping that rope like this..

thanks! then both really got their own pro... yeah i also think if get 35mm i sure will dump 50mm in the dry box already.. but ur macro len's photos' poison is just too strong!! make me cant give up 30mm macro lens first..

i suggest play makro first, u can play with 50mm for bokeh for now ma...until bored with macro then can sell the 50mm then get 35 1.4 hopefully if sony release....then at the end u got macro and bokeh wooo

yeah i also think like tis..i wan tested with that macro lens if shoot indoor hows the performance compare with my 50mm f1.8...if really not good enuff indoor, might get 35mm then sold 50mm.. good suggestion!

yup..thats y i get 30mm macro..coz i also got 50mm...which i like my 50mm very much...so i dont want to sell it or abandon it in dry box..haha..

macro not so easy to play....haha...and 30mm not for shooting upclose bug...coz that bug will damn near your lens..or even crawl onto your lens...xD

how is a good performance for u?..i don think u want to shoot using F1.8 indoor beside for portrait maybe...if you are using F4 for shooting with flash indoor...30mm is the best...it is sharpest when at F4... ..and good for normal shooting like party, wedding dinner, ballroom dinner,etc...

how if compare with 50mm f1.8? or 35mm f1.8?

35mm f1.8

compared to this two, the macro lens allows u to get up closer since the MFD is really small
on the other hand, the f1.8 lenses give a better bokeh to isolate your subject by achieving a cleaner background

who got lobang for hoya hd 77mm?? i need to get one lo....

tried finding in garage sale...seems like duno where all cabut, now all selling kenko and marumi and etc...

yuhi : really nice moment there

ahpingko : love the potrait series . all taken with 30mm macro??

fansoption : your macro works intrigues me every time

chiam dar siang : best choice is bump ISO.

porkchop : new lens ehem ehem?? . i bought mine 1 month ago, that time also cant find seller in LyN selling Hoya HD. end up getting from shashinki

got bored just woke up
spam bokeh


i have a q, a 35mm on APS-C is equivalent to 50mm on FF. So, should the DOF/Bokeh be the same at the same aperture value ?? for example 35mm f/1.4 on APS-C and 50mm f/1.4 on FF.

Thanks mastering. An answer to your question, I don't think the bokeh value would be the same as the pixel density and sensor size is different in ff compared to apsc. Hahaha!

Thank You. that macro is using Gf2 shoot one haha!

Yes you're correct AFAIK, cos if you compare to the lights of compact cameras, you hardly see any bokeh due to the sensor size.

haha wait till come out 24mp APS-C compare to a850/a900 can aa ?


true yes, but now there are those functions to add bokeh like 'Background Defocus' or some just play the tilt shift function (me on ipod touch ). but how's among DSLR fullframe and APS-C bodies ?

just out of curiosity, which sony alphas are full frame and which are apsc? i still duno how to differentiate between the two types....

how to interprete the numbers stated on those zoom lenses?

ONLY a900 and a850 are FF..

others all apsc.

@mastering

Technically no. 35mm APS-C in full frame terms will give you 52.5mm after multiplying 1.5 crop factor.

Although the values are close, the field of view will be slightly different. Adding to that, the different minimum focusing distance of both lens will also be a factor to give different bokeh feel.

My Noob 2 cents.

just back from a concert (actually it ended at 11, went CC after that.. hahaha )

here's some shot... pushing my a55 ISO limit... taken at ISO 1600 without flash.
Shot in RAW, applied NR in Lightroom

Taken with Minolta beercan at f5
