go for the Sigma 4.5mm FE
http://shashinki.com/shop/sigma-45mm-circu...787b2f23722c8c0

i tried the peleng 8mm before , its like the real FE with vignetting on APSc and more on FF. but saw soke pics from albnok after de-fish using dxo optics become reallyyyy wideeee

also when i tried do video (reso 1480x1080 .mp4) there's no more vignetting

8tvt : water proof doesn't really mean u can bring into swimming pool. like if hujan renyai2 can la, if me i wont even use under rain (even my camera )

eddybeh : my combo would be 16-35 / 50mm / 135mm , i'd prefer telephoto (above 135mm) on APS-C. get more range. FF is all bokeh-bokeh for me

bought the DCM coz of the Fab 50s (50mm lenses). got butt hurt alot

first they wrote the Nikon and Canon according to RRP. then wrote Sony 50mm f1.8 RM650 (APPROX). wat la, so lazy open Sony punya website



good thing or odd or they just damn idiot they said the SAL50 f1.8 "IQ is acceptable considering the len's price, but strangely, our review sample proved sharper at its max f1.8 aperture than when stopped down to f2.8" .



another is they say SAL 50 f1.8 is sharper at wide open than Sigma 50 f1.4
which sounds good thou


another is why the heck don they review the SAL 50 f1.4 too
and why put the macro lenses in the test (Sigma 50 f2.8 macro and pentax 50 f2.8), better put all the 50's like Canon 50 f1.2 and Sony 50 f1.4

ieR : i got myself few books like the Joe Mcnally's strobe. very very good read. , will try look for those u recommended

Mikeshashimi : i love the DigitalRev TV battle of the bokeh series

true2,
i stop buying few months alredy, but saw the fab 50s wanna see how. never again
never forget the Sony FF review with kitlens

anyways tomorrow gonna drop by pc fair, cant join u guys on sunday as i'm going holiday
also got b'day present budget for bags, thinking of kata 467i/466i but dunno what the diff between those two. anyone??
or other bags, prefer that could fit 1 body + 2lens + 13 inch laptop

Mikeshashimi : look look then cari ebook . i only buy books i really2 want to read/keep. even my coursework book mostly ebook

Newbieeeeee : nvm la , they have their own preference.

ieR : true2, sometimes i got friends ask me which camera good. and when i say with budget of rm2.0-2.5k or less i'd choose Sony they marah say me fenbui. but if compare thru specs and features, really at that time Sony a33/a55 is the best (that time not yet come out D3100 or 1100D).

misleading + misinformed + friends who are fenbui
but still i'd say follow your friend, can borrow his/her stuff and also learn2 first, gearhead later

albnok : i just wanna see the fab 50 part

spam of D24 and Raja Kunyit (dunno which one's which)

albnok : better get those download-able ebooks from the net. more useful and better review , or just google

fansoption : the funny thing is they said they had sharper image at f1.8 than f2.8

cplow1 : one way is bracketing shots, another is HDR/dynamic range super post-processing with RAW shots. my best suggestion is shot one with normal/correct exposure without the subject, another of the subject with correct exposure on subject then blend in PS

eddybeh : another suggestion is get few basic but good lenses like Minolta/Sony 24-105 f3.5-4.5 + 50mm f1.4 is just good enuff . then fund slowly

yuhi : fund something else first. FF lenses

sad cant join u o'ls on Sunday.
but, give u something to prepare for PC Fair

with fishes u get to go closer and closer


with 50's u kena stay far

electron : because it's an import set, warranty not covered by Futoromic. If anything regarding warranty claim need to refer/send back to Shashinki

owh u should come and see summore

hehe poison ambience @f1.4
i noticed 1 thing, when burst mode (Hi) the AWB goes haywire. some blue-ish , some warm-ish.


need bigger pic?

owh GF2 nice, got many lenses for m4/3rd .more pancake lenses, and the kitlens is definitely smaller than SEL1855

pics from PC fair (friday).



after play with a friend's Sigma 30mm f1.4 (nikon), i suddenly got urge to get one. Really nice can close up for potrait and wide enuf for group/family pic. like when dining at restaurant, for sure 50mm cant get u group/family pic . so, any1 here wanna trade their Siggy 30' to my Siggy 50'

haha if only the GF1's color blue like the Zeiss logo

fansoption : cute series

cjlai : owh mai. how many shots taken for that . nice

porkchop : owh sexay pose

albnok : yeah, prefer the 28mm (wider than 50mm) range. 50mm is nice too, gives enuf space between subject and me . nice for street photog, but hadn't had chance to go for real street shoot

Lets go to KLCC

albnok : iinm Samyang 35 f/1.4 price is between Sony 35 f1.8 and Sigma 30 f1.4. if according from other samyang lenses i assume the 35mm should be good too. hmmm

SoulPower : 1 thing i learn from a sifu last time is for a model, "bengkok-kan apa yang boleh di-bengkok" (bend any parts of body you can) . or simply just bring 1 magazine of photoshoot and ask her/him to pose like tat

ieR : what u planning to haul next

Mikeshashimi : wow Sig 1850 f2.8 . share2 pics

vandetta_10 : welcome . share your pictures with us

spam pictas

Mikeshashimi : ok wut, cuter, round(er), abit smaller (if according to this gif) . but seriously from top looks like those Sony cybershot T series



also better if make the screen like a33/a55 or like 600D/60D


wah u macro the bee #11 so close no scare aa . nice #12

kysham : thanks . abit limited angle with f20 , bounce bounce play with a4 paper

fansoption SAL 50mm f1.8 SAM only XD (with +4 close up filter)

zstan : my uni only have Kyros Kebab, but have lots of ads from KFC. probably opening soon?

chiahau : poisen??? this one dowan

a900 + CZ Sonnar T* 135mm f1.8 (albert@albnok punya)
shot at TT last year, edited long time ago, found an app in ipod can make wrinkle

but the SEL 16mm f2.8 looks same size.
anyhow , for it looks cuter

err i dunno what its called or does it even have a name . but what i did was play with levels in PS. get different level for different part of the camera and play around with the exposure to get it. then stack in layers.

see pic in spoiler

loyatttt : no lah, 1 time success only

ahpingko : really nice . the yellow so vibrant

cjlai : nice , like mirror already

morning spam

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.

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 ?
