chiahau: Thanks, linked!

Zicron: Most likely Saturday.

fansoption: I like how in #2 one Santa is whispering to the other - maybe it could be shot from directly in front. Also would be nice if you could get #15's attention and take a picture. Like you could ask her what tablet is that.

Quite rare to see an Acer Iconia Tab A500 out in the wild, though!

ahtsong: Congratulations! Use lah your Alpha to shoot. wink.gif

The LCD becomes hot is because the sensor is just behind the screen. It is the sensor's heat that is causing the overheating, although the LCD could contribute a tiny portion of heat as well.

Since you're new in photography this question is much more important than your confusion in which lens to buy:

Why do you need a all-in-one lens?

What lens do you have currently?

Oh and BTW, forget about the 28-300mm lens. You will scream and curse in frustration because 28mm on APS-C bodies is not wide enough.

Cause I use it for travelling so general purpose lens suit me the best and their versatility ~

ahquan26: That should be a 55-200mm lens. You already have a lens that go to 200mm.

It's a misconception that one has to get a all-in-one for travel purposes.

These questions should help you decide whether you have a need to get all-in-one lens:

1. How long have you had the camera?
2. How many pictures have you taken so far? (approx.)
3. How often do you use the 55-200mm lens and use it at the maximum zoom focal length?
4. Of all the pictures that you take, how many % are taken using the telephoto range?

If you have to change lens very often and always use the 200mm end of your kit lens, then you might need an all rounder to make your life easier. Else, your lens collection is just fine.

Well, I'm looking foward to upgrading my camera soon too, I've clicked for like 2000 pics ? I had the camera for like 6 months I guess, and emm Maximum Focal length, it depends on what subject Im taking and generally I wanted a all in one lens is, also for travel bag wise and taking videos.

And one question ~ Im really curious about the different of filter size "72mm,62mm,55mm ~ does it affect the photo quality or what ?

ahquan26: Filter comes in different sizes to fit different sizes lenses lor... hahahaha... If you lens' filter ring has a diameter of 55mm then you need a 55mm filter to fit it.

ALL filters will degrade the photo quality. Questions is how much will it degrade the photo quality. More expensive filters will affect the photo less.

Different kinds of filter have different usage/purposes:

1. UV filter (most commonly used) serves to protect the lens
2. CPL filter is to rid light coming from certain direction
3. ND filter is to cut down the light transmission

ahquan26 : Don't worry yourself on that. Different lens maker have different designs and different reasons for having different lens element sizes. As long as the lens gives you images that is satisfactory to you, does it matter what size the lens elements is?

Worry less! Shoot more!

BTW I would recommend anyone to shoot at least 10k pics with a lens before considering buying another one.. if you have really shot 10k worth of pics using one lens, you will not have to ask anyone what lens to buy next. You WILL KNOW.

The LCD does generate a relative amount of heat if you have used live view long enough. And this is in my old a300. Turning it off would probably do more good to the sensor IMO.

Ahquan, my advice is shoot more with the 2 lenses you have 1st. It's adequate for the amount of clicks you've made with your camera so far. Give yourself another 5000-6000 more shots before planning on a lens upgrade.
If you die die also want an upgrade, take a look at the Sony 50mm f/1.8 lens. It will open up other windows of creativity for you instead. Most importantly, it's cheap enough not to hurt your pocket too much.


Added on December 22, 2011, 8:46 pmNewbie, unless your filter is made out of air, then anything you put in front of the lens will degrade the light path eventually. Come to think of it, even air has different density.

Hmm. What you and William said is true. Didn't think about that.

Anyways, know the e-a mount adapter? The first generation one. There's no glass in between right? So why doesn't it work as an extension tube?

Because it is not 'extended' at all.. it just changes the flange distance of the E mount to suit the A-mount so that the A mount lenses can function...

Hmm i guess from the list above. a35 is the latest model. Since with the balance of the money you can get the bag and memory card tongue.gif

a55 /a35 got video record, a390 and a290 didn't.

Well this is my opinion from the list that you given though.
Bag you can buy later through this forum or other options tongue.gif
Best things is to tried both camera at shop, see if you are comfortable with electronic view finder or not.
if there are still stock. you can just get a580 (my suggestion, follow at your own risk tongue.gif )

Didn't you say you want to wait to see if there's any upgrade to SSM for the 85mm f1.4?

All kena poisoned kaw kaw already this holiday season! Fortunately my bank account cannot support any poison so I'm 'immune' for the time being. rclxms.gif

Then again I'm wondering if I should sell my 20mm or just keep it along with the future 24mm f2 Zeiss that I plan to buy...

zstan: Fat chance! Haha! I'm now about 90% sure that I won't be selling the 20mm even if I eventually buy the 24mm Zeiss. I really like the 20mm so that means that there's a 90% chance that you won't be able to buy it from me 6-8 years later!!

Hmm i guess from the list above. a35 is the latest model. Since with the balance of the money you can get the bag and memory card tongue.gif

a55 /a35 got video record, a390 and a290 didn't.

Well this is my opinion from the list that you given though.
Bag you can buy later through this forum or other options tongue.gif
Best things is to tried both camera at shop, see if you are comfortable with electronic view finder or not.
if there are still stock. you can just get a580 (my suggestion, follow at your own risk  tongue.gif )

Haha! I like that sentence in blue! The correct comeback by ahmoi should be :

e-jump: The new Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DC HSM II should be good optically, better than the old version. Plus no risk of gear stripping as it has HSM.

Also the Suzuha Amane is a bit magenta-ish.

You haven't met my (old version) 12-24mm?

zstan : We're all a bit kiasu mah... If I'm going to plonk down RM 5k for a lens I better darn well make sure that a revised version with SSM is not going to pop up anytime soon! The price tag of said new lens may be RM1k higher but then it will be worth it.

Coz I don't want to look at the lens and sigh every single time, knowing that if I had waited just a little longer I could have gotten the latest version with all the bells & whistle.

You know you will feel the same way too...

Well if we base on Canon/Nikon's way of revising old lenses...it usually takes at least 6-8 years before they come out with a new version...the 85 zeiss just came out like 2-3 years ago so still go long time before it get's revised!

So go buy now..and sell me later lorrrr... rolleyes.gif rolleyes.gif rolleyes.gif rclxm9.gif

Anyway, the 85mm Zeiss is way, way down on my list. The 85mm SAM is working out very well for me at the moment...

Next one will be the 24mm Zeiss but even that is not on the priority list... so don't hold you breath waiting...

The same thing happened to me. 2 months after I bought A100, the A200 came out. Cheaper and with better noise handling. That time we don't have SAR to check for rumours some more.

Let's see how many Sony lenses have gotten revised...

1. Sony 55-200mm F4.0-5.6 DT SAM II

Uh yeah that's it. How about big changes from the Minolta lineup?

1. Sony 50mm F1.4 (added Distance Encoder, digital coatings and 55mm filter thread)
2. Sony 28-75mm F2.8 SAM (downgraded MFD)

Every other change has been cosmetic during the original Sony Alpha lens lineup.

Don't bet on a revision - it's more likely you'll see a new lens that doesn't overlap with existing Sony lenses, e.g.:

Zeiss 14mm F2.8
Zeiss 28mm F1.4
Zeiss 50mm F1.2
Zeiss 200mm F4.0 Macro

zstan, the 18-70 and 18-55 have totally different optics. Thus, It's not even considered a replacement lens.

expensive lenses like these, better put filter on lor... dun want to take the risk. i don't have B+W filters at all. I use the Sony CZ filters and the HOYA HD series filters. The one on my 85ZA is a CZ filter though. smile.gif

Newbie, as of now, only A-mount lenses can adapted to E-mount and not the other way around as the E-mount has a much shorter flange distance compared to A-mount. To simplify this statement for you, it means that the image plane will be in front of the sensor when mounted on A-mount, there wont be a sharp image produced on the sensor, if any will be produced at all.

On another note,pics taken with my ex-Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG which I just dug up from Flickr.

because it's NOT at wide open. the aperture was closed down a bit, hence showing the 9 aperture blades in a nonagon shape.

fansoption: LOL! Nice idea!

zstan: True, but not a direct replacement. The 18-200mm is still sold though in our minds it replaced the 18-250mm.

chiahau: Voigtlanders are made for M mount, so you can use an M-mount to E-mount adapter and put them on the NEX bodies.

There was also a manual focus A-mount Voigtlander SL Series I 125mm F2.5 APO-Lanthar 1:1 Macro lens. They also made M42 lenses and that will mount with an adapter without glass, on A-mount bodies.

I remembered last time at KLPF, I was on 85mm f1,4 and Porkchop and others become obstacles in order for me to take a snipe hahahaha~~"

@Albert - I am curious. If i were to get those adapters, means I could use the other Zeiss and Voightlander and still maintain AF and AF confirmation? This is tempting as I do have some older Zeiss lying around somewhere.....

The most you can get is AF confirmation if the mount has electronics chip...

No. Makes no difference. You'll only get smaller file size. You're only limiting the software, not the hardware.
You can easily use high ISO what. 2000iso shouldn't be a problem if there's spotlight

If you have bought it, then why bother asking?

If the other brand is better, will you sell it out now to compensate for it?

If not, stop asking such Q and enjoy your camera smile.gif

btw,

need some advise here.
Thinking to get a higher spec camera compare to my current A330s
has been choosing btween A580 or A65

found their price distance very close on, but A580 has far lower noise than A65 in RAW

Any comments ? TQ

580's Noise performance still better than my semi pro body lol~~"

Somehow, if you prefer OVF, 580 is the way to go.. I find no flaw with this camera other than the lack of some buttons.

Nex 7 kinda outperforms the 77 in many ways than one smile.gif

Hopefully, the Nex starts to fly off.

Dual dials, extra top panel, ability to directly change some settings and etc..

So, yea.. I like the 77 for its ergonomics.

storm88 : Better go for the A77 if you want to upgrade. A330 to A580/A55 or any A5x series is not much of an upgrade.

If you have bought it, then why bother asking?

If the other brand is better, will you sell it out now to compensate for it?

If not, stop asking such Q and enjoy your camera smile.gif

The coloured spotlights have over saturated the sensor causing the information recorded to be outside the color gamut. Hence the weird Colors.

It's captured information, even with RAW it's extremely difficult to fix as there's a spill of data from one photocell to adjacent photocells.
The workaround I could think of is to use a flash to balance out the coloured lighting.


Added on December 25, 2011, 8:46 pmIn these situations I usually try to correct for proper colored skin tone, disregarding on the models' clothe's color

Hows the distortion on the 16-50 a? The tamron at 17mm is a quite bad for close up group shots lol. Or maybe it's just normal for a wide angle lens.

Red Cometz: You could arrange them in 2 rows to fill up the empty space in front.

e-jump: LOL how did you get it to go there?

ahpingko: Nice tight crops!

You can fix this in DxO - preserve saturated colors. Not sure what is the equivalent in Lightroom. The color is not lost - but the lightness is in the green and blue channels.

Or, in Photoshop:

ahpingko: Nice! I like that one of the leaves is slightly bokeh-ish.

porkchop: Looks like flare. Clean your lens filter?

And hey congratulations!

Were the bridal house's sample pictures like that, or far better? I myself haven't figured out whose style I'd prefer, though bridal houses are probably a bit too cliche.

That said though, it wouldn't be fair that a proper photographer works for little money just because you've made a bad choice (or had a bad stroke of luck.) When the pay is little, the photographer (and client) may not take the shoot seriously, figuring "ah if screw up nevermind lah can find somebody else".

One way to offload the cost is if you can find a photographer who'd let you do the RAW processing and printing instead. Though the photographer may prefer to do the editing and printing lah if he/she is proud of his/her work.

Ironically, I've seen some pictures from a very renowned Malaysian wedding photographer who travels and gives talks, whose WB was all green and skin looked like aliens, probably due to some screw up in the post-processing. This was the 'hidden' client login page which a client of his shared with me, so it's not like it's a RAW draft!

fansoption: Could have both ants in focus.

zstan: LOL for a while I misread it, as if you worked for that bridal house!

thanks guys for the support smile.gif for everyone's input, I've checked the photographer's portfolio before selecting him...not much photographers to choose from also.......he was the best I've seen in the whole shop..even the owner sister's wedding used him, I was impressed by the shots....but on shooting day, he had an assistant/student, I think newbie....I got a feeling most of the shots is from this newbie, cause it felt to me like he was teaching his student rather than taking our pics

I told the bridal house after the function they say its normal, we will see how the picture comes out....when take pic that time, i complain and they say it's done already, but still can fix for another session but need to top-up rm1k for gown rental, photographer and makeup......me n my gf was like........zzz we told them we will take the raw, and i will let my sister fix/recover see what she can do with her creativity lo......my gf also not happy with the makeup artist, she say she can do better...........

thanks all for the support and the volunteer.....I sked everyone busy preparing before CNY, got alot functions, so was thinking after CNY.....I will keep interested ppl posted and thanks alot for the help smile.gif

Ps: if you are getting married and looking for a bridal house, pm me, I will let u know which one NOT to go

I feel bad for porkchop. that is a pure RIP-OFF!!!! complain like hell to the bridal house and tell them to redo the shoot AT THEIR COST! you are a customer, you should let them know what are your expectations from a RM4k package. this is ridiculous!

why pay them 1k more? i see people frame their photo by themselves, then ask a few friends to click the shutter/hold flash or using the wireless release.
(although it's more time consuming.. )

Please use kenko, b/w or hoya model filter. thumbup.gif good for ur lens. too cheap filter will affect ur photo quality.

i dont agree with kenko anymore, not sure because their quality drop, or they mass produce 're-badge' to other brand name, or worst, there are many fakes out there, i used kenko once for a while on my 50mm, the sharpness is just not there, then i swap to octopus, a little better with sharpness but the flare/ghosting drive me crazy, so i go b+w, everything solved.

Well if you have the money ten by all means go ahead and upgrade. I'm still using 4 year old to body to shoot events and a wedding recently. I know where it's limits are and try to overcome it but I do have some regrets not being able to make some shots which I know a newer body like the a77 is capable of.

zstan: I'm liking the vibrant color. Though the tilt in #1 is a bit off and you could probably zoom in to get just one 'box' of background in #1, since the tiles are wet and unsightly. That would also reduce barrel distortion.

In #3 why not a tele, and from directly in front?

michael9413: Maybe you can get a shot of #7 from directly in front, with the baskets on both sides of her and the handle to frame her.

azamunekurone: Wah didn't know you shoot JPG! Good zoom, like 600mm on full frame!

NutZ748: Whoa weird - didn't know Sony Alphas would have banding in high ISO. I hope you have a RAW version of this as different RAW converters will make noise look different!

fansoption: I wonder what it would look like from the left - in front of the grasshopper's face.

shootkk: Seems a bit tight?

Zhao: Nice! You might want to do a tighter crop, crop away all the clues that it is a real park. For example Staircase on the right can crop. #3 is more like it.

Mikeshashimi: Looks like you'd want to do a classic multiple exposure HDR - one more to expose for the shadows, reducing noise.

Newbieeeeee: #1 a bit unharmonious in crop. Nice #2 though #3 is a weird passer-by shot. Would be nice to read the back in #4. Color would help identify #5 and #7.

What's going on in #8? #9 could be shot from directly in front, at a 45 degree angle so you just see 2 colored shapes. #10 clone stamp it lah.

chiahau: So are you married, semi married or going to get married?

ieR: Although the cushion isn't the best looking, because of the wide angle, I feel like I am standing on front of her and I can feel the cushion.

Also a wider shot on #2 could show the man behind approaching suspiciously.

In #3 why not a tele, and from directly in front?

storm88: Here are my 2 cents comments on your pics:

1. A bit underexposed. Plus the shadows around the eyes do not make for a pretty portrait. The ear seems to be in sharpest focus. Try to aim for the eyes or increase your DOF to cover the whole face/head.

2. Out of focus. Subject is blurred.

3. Harsh light and shadows. You need a reflector or some fill in flash to lift the shadows and help to tone down the contrast a little. Distracting background. Try finding a less busy background. I'm sure everyone is asking the question : Who's that kid running in the background?

infact, i find vivid more suitable for landscape, blue-er sky, green-er tree and red-er flower. but for portrait, a big NO for asian, we arent "white" like westerner, we are brown yellow, so it will backfire when saturation kicks in. and westerner need the red to pop out from their cheek hence vivid is for them, not us. we have to remain neutral or hi key, that why taiwan has this new photographer culture diff from westerner.

Zhao: I like how everything is at the bottom, though the clouds could be a bit brighter. There is too much of a blue case and I can see it on the parking lot at the bottom.

sugaring: Since you're desaturating, you might as well lower the contrast. Actually, lowering the contrast would be better, and doing a minor Gaussian blur.

ieR: They go into the pool wearing that?

zstan: Yes it's a fair bit reddish. That said you could do a bit of selective brightening so the red is not so apparent.

Nah, just kidding. Most likely the 85mm. I don't need a 50/1.4 cause I don't mind having a 50/1.8 instead, same goes to sigma 30/1.4 when I can get a Sony 35/1.8.

NutZ748: As far as I know the Sigma 30mm F1.4 for A-mount doesn't have HSM. It's still a good focal length though, and if you want something like that but also supporting full-frame there is the manual focus Samyang 35mm F1.4. smile.gif

if you're to choose one of them...which one will you choose?
give me some comments  notworthy.gif

I rather take 24Z.

Seriously, 50mm f1,4 ish good. I am waiting however for a Zeiss version that might or might not come. Till then....

Samyang 85mm has almost similar optics with Carl Zeiss 85mm.. Sharpness n etc wise, Samyang ish a good bang for money..

im aiming 50 1.4 but seems liek its sharpness isnt that good wide open...

Zicron: Only DxO Optics Pro Elite supports the A850/A900. Strangely, DxO Optics Pro Standard supports the A77.

Beautiful review of the Sony Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 24mm F2.0 ZA SSM:

http://www.photoclubalpha.com/2011/12/28/s...ssm-t-reviewed/

NutZ748: I would suggest, if you are in the Klang Valley, that you meet up with us. We can have a TT! You can find out what lens is most appropriate given the environment, outside of the Sony Style or camera shop.

Eiraku: They got the color right - that looks like the Minolta G color! Though sadly not on the focal length indicator.

Zhao: The crop is too tight - but you could do something like this:

Notice the texture in the middle looks kinda leafy? So I inverted it and did a color overlay.

Still actively poisoning people I see Albert, lol. Not that it's a bad thing IMHO.

Nice to see the Orange Clan still going strong though, tho myself I've gone to the dark side (manual Minolta stuff). I guess I'm more
an emulsion and grain guy then I am a MBs and Pixel one lol.

Go ownself manual search la bro, the price is already stated at the 1st page as a rough estimation....

Coz some unexpected seller might be able to give you better/more awesome price than the normal dudes we usually goes to tongue.gif

Codyx: Nice #3, rarely see that angle! Well done on the light in #4.

ieR: What is a D in this context?

e-jump: Nice grayness!

zstan: Nicely done for #3 (though probably with more to the bottom - so it matches the trees below.)

gizmo_pony: The serial number on the white sticker is the flash serial number. The serial number on the flash head is engraved and is probably the flash head's serial number.

ieR: D doesn't mean any spectacular optical quality LOL. Nanocoating maybe.

ahpingko: I have no idea - you might want to check with the printer if they support ProPhoto RGB. If not, you might have to convert it before sending it to them. Best to test by sending some shots in ProPhoto RGB and see if their printer supports it.

fansoption: Nice! Never seen that kind of leaf in macro.

fansoption : Nice shots on the figure. Just one thing though.. Afghanistan would be more realistic if you picked sandy background rather than leafy greens.. haha.. just saying lah.. Nice shots nonetheless.

ieR : Nice. I would have liked a little more separation from the background. If only there was a flash fired behind her to rim-light her hair..

Newbie: thanks

Shootkk, no flash were use, infact, can't be use, flash power too strong at min power, it was shot at f1.4 shutter of 1/15 to capture the bg ambient, even I put the flash distant away, the spread of light(leak) is too wide, even I put grid. Finally choose to use reflector behind her. tongue.gif

in the end it really depends on the person dedication and interest. Stuffs like weapon, drugs and firecrackers is not sold openly, people also korek lubang find the stuff they wanted.

Anybody can explain what does it mean by a lens focusing beyond infinity? Read about it at fred miranda forums. I thought infinity focusing is already limit for focusing? Still can go beyond one a? hmm.gif

Yea, most AF lens today turn to end, is pass/beyond infinity. Have to turn back a bit, the minor spacing is calibration purpose.

MF Lens like (dunno how to spell) voitlander when turn to infinity, is sure infinity, won't pass beyond infinity point.

hey guys, i have a questions regarding the built in flash
does anyone know where i can read about on how to use the built-in flash without creating the undesired effect of the whole photo being flatten? I know using flash with aperture priority mode is not gonna help, manual is definitely required but what is the recommended settings? thanks

Either soften your build-in flash with a diffuser things or aware of the subject natural light direction.

If your strobe rating is higher than the detected 'natural light' on the subject current image..then will being overpower by the stobe. By using a strobe you can avoid subject being too much shadow or to lit it's surface texture more.

it's more like power, angle, and distant of your particular strobe..

what kind of picture you want to take? smile.gif


Added on January 4, 2012, 8:33 pmBut if you were wanted to take Picture coral #3

for me i make it F/8 and a diffused pop-out flash which of coz just Aperture mode

i believe can produce similar outcome tongue.gif

ermm, flash in low-light and indoor-based
put it that way, i'm trying to fully utilize the built-in flash without creating the boring flattening/washout image

so, can i safely assume that with an external flash and proper settings, all the problem faced above can be minimized?

you may try my settings in A-mode above listed first...with diffuser or you make a semi transparent layer in front to serve same purpose...try first....i think it's about your knowledge on the lighting and your camera than going to Manual* to just get the objective

Hi all sifu,
Currently I'm using alpha 18-250 DT with a77. Does it make sense if I get 16-50 f2.8 since the range already covered by the first?

I'm looking for fast lens at low indoor lighting....please advice? Or should i get a flash instead?

hi stinky, we all onces at your position, thinking, "range" covered by "range"... everyone once think but 18200 we dont need anymore lens.

you see, DSLR or interchangeable lens system, are designed in a way, LENS are for a Intend Purpose. each lens are design for a purpose, and if that purpose meet ur requirement, its the best lens for ur needs smile.gif

the 1650 will give u very diff 'feel' of photo at 1650 working distant compare to 18200. well instead of telling u good to get or not, why not try discover why do u need 1650 by discovering the limitation of the 18200 and can be solve by 1650, then only that 1650 is worth investment smile.gif else its waste of money.

I did a few test and found out the "best" setting for me is, flash on, low shutter, high iso and small aperture. Here are a few picture for comparison.

Auto mode (1/60, f.3.2, iso400, flash on)
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Aperture mode (0.4", f7.1, iso800, no flash)
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Manual mode (1/4", f7.1, iso800, fill flash)
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Note that in the 3rd pic the background is the darkest. You can't do it with a pop up. You need to use manual & HSS mode. the light wouldn't be powerful enough to light up the background. You've gotta experiment though. Maybe 1/250 or 1/320 etc.
