Sony dem cheapskate, why never give body cap and also rear lens cap for twin lens kit? they expect me to always have a lens mounted?

yea, nobody cap one
i bought the cctv lens, somemore free one body cap

Yeah, very disappointed in that. Had to go on eBay and purchase my own rear caps and body caps. Lucky it's cheap... about RM10 per piece.

allo bro. how do you make them so sharp and lively?? i am using nex-3 with kit lens... and many of them look trash.
i actually prefer skill tweaking, than changing gears/lenses... so please advise on how to shoot.

oh, and i also went there for the 'big cats' match.

i wonder izit only nex camera gt version update... how abt those sony dslr?

Ok managed to buy a set of caps for rm20 from LYN forumer.

NEX5 can use with IR Remote, but not NEX3.
Can use with the china make IR remote which is cheaper and simpler than the ori Sony alpha remote.

NEX can be used with most of the lenses by attached to adapter. Pls read through the threads u will see many users using diff lenses!!

erm, with the sel16f2.8 i just set small aperture and snap. should get enuf dof for entire pic and f/5.6 and smaller is quite sharp already.
with the sal35f/1.8 or manual lenses needs practice,patience and prefer subject that doesn't move much

also plan/expect what u want to shoot first, like for instance i went to the stadium i know i wont be taking pics of the players (no long2 tele/prime). So that would help u to know what lens to use , which is suitable and wont waste time changing lens (bagi masuk habuk saja =X ). actually i came in quite late, so dont have proper seats (stand at the corridor only ) ,also my view of the game is in the pic #2, half blocked by the banner , so look around for something to snap.

true, but still the bulb mode without a remote shutter is sorry to say quite useless
yup many2 adapter to many2 mount lenses (would love to try the canon L and leica/voigtlander on my nex ) but what i meant is E mount lenses. Still for now only have 3 plus few coming, hoping for 3rd party makers to cepat2 make

shot with sal35f/1.8 , MF FTW

what screen protectors are you all using for your Nex cameras?

I dont really like those stick-on film kind but i found this GGS thing which has a layer of glass but its still stick-on

or just get the Sony's clip-on protector? Anyone bought these? Usually plastic not too clear and after awhile you'll get scratches on it which blurs the screen somewhat

or get Sony stick-on one - http://www.sony.com.my/product/pck-ls1em

get the clip one one
wen its blur, get a new one

NEX-C3 doesn't support IR remote so kinda hard to do bulb mode is it?

Or should I just get NEX-5. Anyone tried doing timelapse photos?

Ohh this thing looks cool

maybe I should get NEX-5 instead of C3

maybe you should wait more longer. Nex 5E is coming

i'm using this GGS on my NEX-3... imho, it is better than the sony one

im only worry about if i stick it in wrongly. or when i want to remove it

Do you think this STP-SB2AM will fit the NEX series ?


Not sure if want to keep for the NEX or selling it for RM100

i bot the clip on type.... very easy to install and very nice....
