just watch out of it. i tend to read many mods bias, emotional filed complaint by many users too. the set of protocol is not follow. unfortunately, we do not have any in orange legion.

recently see you actively in macro, you are direct invest sp90 or have do assessment which type/method macro u like to invest? (reverse ring w/adapter or filter lens aka raynox or extended macro tube or macro lens)

Haha , i guess IER will also say the same as you. seriously, quick AF LV since introduced 1st gen of SLT/mirrorless, its has been basic expectation and we know it kicking other brands. exclude d7000, in fair and humble request a77 should par with 5n or -5% tolerance in final fw. will be marketing error if doesnt work so 

wow, nice input. can we use left hand hold the lens right hand on body to balance it (duno how to ask, prettyy common handling)   what is the different of Ea1 vs Ea2? PDAF? another question, i read lot user feedback of wideopen pime lens 24mm, 28mm f2 or f2.8 which are suitable for major of the scenes such in close portrait with good background presence, wedding, even some landsacpe, will it true from what you been used?  part of it was also the fast n quiet SSm. gives me poison 

(my god, guess mod deleted my few replied or i accidentally editted; tired to put back again  )

kysham: Tomato shot isn't quite appealing due to the white balance - plus the right side could be cropped out.

fansoption: From the shallow DOF of the WWII scene, we all know it's a macro shot - what if you used a deep DOF? You could make it look more realistic.

jimlim007: You can laugh at how the D7000 focuses in Live View, but you can't laugh at the A77 in Live View.

Also I have the NEX-5, LA-EA1 and Zeiss 24mm F2.0 SSM ZA and I can tell you that it is imbalanced.

I have also tried the NEX-5N with the E-mount Zeiss 24mm F1.8 and it is a heck lighter and smaller.

chiahau: Nolah 24mm F2.0 SSM is RM3xxx.

Quick LV has been in dslr's earlier then SLT/mirrorless. Even my a350 has it. I think not even D7000 beats it as it only uses CDAF while QLV uses PDAF (the new Oly-EP3 beats it though).

Ea1 allows you to mount a-mounts and lets u use screw-driven lens in addition to SSM lenses. (focusing is not as fast as Ea2 as it uses CDAF + some other reason which I don't know lol...)
Ea2 has a Translucent mirror which reflects light onto a PD sensor which allows PDAF and a probably improved screw drive motor to allow faster focusing.

Wideopen primes lens are very versatile but its up to the photographer on how to utilize it. Wide angle = lots of DOF meaning you will get plenty of unwanted stuff into your shots. And most wide angles produces fair to ulgy bokeh + distortion. If you're looking for a lens that excels in the things you desire, a fast 35mm will probably suit your needs much more.

Errrr, Sony's LV has been fast since god knows when la dude. Even the old A550 and other models are having pretty decent LV focusing speed too

Frankly, A77 should be/likely would be better than 5N is many factors than one. But some are not obvious and people tends to overlook it.

And most of the time I see Albert, he's using prime lens lol~" XD

24Z f2 around 3xxx? Decent pricing, decent pricing. Must not buy....

1. Sony dint say anything about the e mount lens being FF lens or DT lens, so we dont know anything yet.
2. e mount 24 zeiss vs ZA 24 f2, is e mount 24 is much lighter and smaller than ZA 24 - alot.  So the ZA 24 is not really ideal to walkabout with nex 5n.
    And u can also go for other alternative lens such as 16 pancake or the 30mm macro. Even the 18-55 can be nice walkabout lens.
So far most entry level camera and lens are made in thailand. Only those high end like full frame is made in Japan

Nice! Got use ring flash?

Thx. My All Macro Photo almoust 99% is using F58AM. 1% only use ringflash.

I still dont get how you use F58. F58 for -7 degrees downwards. F42 how? Any diffusers? Zoom put to 24?

Diffusers i using onmi bounce, -7 degrees downwards. I using flash fire 1/4. zoom i using 50mm / auto

Oh I see.. I don't have omni bounce. Only have demb pro. If use will have super harsh shadow below the subject. What aperture you use? You just use 1/4 for all aperture? Won't overexposed meh?

1/4 is for Flash Fire. not the shutter speed. I using shutter speed 1/125, aperture F8, ISO400 and Flash Fire using 1/4 lo. No diffuser got diffuser for me is the same.

is that true?

It baffles me why some (or most) people would give their LIKES & time for crappy photos, videos, toys and jokes, BUT not for good causes...
Has doing good become somewhat a burden and "unfashionable" in Malaysia?
Have we become so self-centred?

Oh. F42 don't have the -7 degree downward angle.

Eh but if you use flash like that then can't use lens hood loh?

of course not. Its just this person's way of thinking which is very sensitive and negative.

*edit* p.s. If that comment was meant for you. I think that he is just jealous of your talent in photography. I think that your photos are great!
