When you say 24mm and 35mm meaning FF equiv yea?.I’m using crop so that will be 18mm and 24mm, correct ?


Hmm.. I’m guilty of 50mm ( 75mm crop) and 35mm (50mm crop).I used these two the most.

When you say photographic vision, you mean composition vision ?

all measurement of focal length normally means FF one lol...

When I said 24mm, I meant the 24mm of your Sigma lens. Because 24mm translate to 35mm Full frame. I'm sure many articles or videos will tell you, for street, the 35mm focal length is one of the best, that's why I've asked you to use 24mm.

I also tell you to choose 35mm, it is also because it will be translated to 50mm full frame, which is also quite frequently used by street photographers.

I don't really like to use 18mm unless I'm doing a very large group photos (which does happens when shooting friends from my church group). So, yeah, I won't promote to others a focal length which I don't like using myself. I hope that clear the doubts for you.

Yes.

Such a gigachad, thanks for clearing it up!

Yea, sometimes I get confused

think of this way, if all focal length put the sensor 's length. that sounds not reasonable also

because some lens can be use on crop or full frame, so by putting all FF equivalent numbers, the user had to do math themselve is the better solution haha

Between DJI osmo pocket 3 and insta360 x3, which one more suitable for travel vlog?

The x3 no need to worry about missed framing, but video quality the pocket 3 is better.

Hi guys,

I have a budget for Rm3k to spend on a camera and lens. This camera will be use mainly for macro photo to record and take photo of teeth for my patient.

It has to be easy to use, not much setting required to increase iso or aperture to get nice pic. It will be placed in a dental surgery room.

Really appreciate your advise as i did some research and the see the price is more than my budget 😅

It is possible la, just that you didn't know where to look.

Lens RM 1200

Body: RM 1500

The total package less than RM3K.

Hi bro. Thank you for your reply.

Since my last post, I’ve been poisoned by Sony A6400 + Sony FE 90mm + light circle as per this setup

https://www.twodentists.com/mirrorless-camera-in-dentistry/

Main reason it have AF and quite easy to use, just it cost about 6-7k for that setup. What do you think?

It's a good setup, no worries. I'm just surprised that, your budget can expand from 3K to 7K, which is more than doubled...

Emmm


At first i wanna be cheapest as possible. But then I also think that the Sony a6400 has the AF that will show blue dotted on the lcd to indicate that it’s in focus mode which I think critical for dr that going to use it. They already wearing loop for their work, it’s very hard to look into viewfinder when loop on their head. Plus i can apply for 70% grant for the purchase hehe.

guys anybody here used 50mm 1.2L ? i love the 50mm 1.8 but should i upgrade to 1.2L or better buy other focal length ?

One of the reasons why you love the 50 1.8 could be because of it's small size. I love it for that reason too. Once you slap that big chunk of glass infront of your body, you might not feel the same. To be honest, I think the 50mm 1.2 not worth your money. If you want to use it for portrait, I suggest you go for the 85 1.2L instead.

By the way, are we talking about EF or RF ?

thanks for the input. its EF on a FF.

If it is the EF 50 1.2, then boleh la...the price still acceptable...the RF 50 1.2 is totally not worth it.

guys i saw some shops selling 1DX Mk 2 at around 6-7k.

i think just few years ago they still priced around 25k.

so much price drop. is it worthy to buy now?

Mirrorless camera such as R6 or R6II used are similar pricing with much better specs. I would suggest you to look at mirrorless options instead. If you really want the big size of the 1DX mark 2 for whatever reason, then sure, go ahead.

What you guy to think about a6700 with kit lens 16-50mm, XS20 kit lens 15-45mm or XS10 with Sigma 18-50mm?

Out of the 3 combos, the last one is the best. Just remember that, better lenses are more important than better bodies. Sony kit lens the 16-50 quality is really... . I haven't owned the Fuji kit 15-45, but anything with a variable aperture is a big NO NO for me. At least the Sigma 18-50 is a fix aperture zoom with F2.8 aperture. But still, if you shoot a lot of indoor without flash, you will soon realize that even F2.8 is really not enough most of the time.

Once you get better at photography, you will soon realize that why people shoot prime, most of the time due to the big apetures they offers such as F2 or F1.4. But even when you progress to that level, the Sigma 18-50 will still be a worthy lens to keep among the primes.
