recent trip to hk.

Hi guys, newb to Nex cameras here.

Having difficulty locating a seller which has Nex5n dual kit.

Do you guys have recommended sellers? Am located in PJ/KL

THanks!

hey nex sifus. im currently on the nex 5N. do you think it would be a worthy upgrade to the nex-7?

Anyone seen those two Sigma E lenses yet here locally? Anyone interested in getting them?

Hmm.. some Tamron Photography Competition and Workshop (IPOH) Rundown is happening on the 15th at Ipoh. Organized by FUturomic.

Looks interesting for RM50, when it includes 5 bikini models photoshoot @ poolside.

You have to ask yourself a few questions:

1) Do you need Flash Support?
2) Do you need the viewfinder?
3) Do you need 24mp?
4) If you answered yes to no.3, do you have good enough glass to get the full potential of 24mp?

Same setup but different subject. I only show center crop as focus plane doesnt match after i swapped the lens. But generally, SEL50F18 super sharp.

Are you going?

FYI, Sony NEX workshop coming to Ipoh:
https://mysony.sony.com.my/MyWorkshop/Works...8&sessionID=277

i just came back from NEX studio portrait workshop!
Model is new to modeling, so the posing is not much and not that natural.
other than that, it is a great FOC workshop for NEXers!

Hey, I was there too! A good studio shooting experience for a newb like me
Too bad the bikini shoot is at KK...

Looks like all places also ran out of stock for the twin lenses. I've read somewhere that the shortage is worldwide and most probably will ls for 3-4 months. *rumors:

SGD449, approx RM1080.

Just now i bring it out for a test. Not used to 50mm focal length


*look like stalking

hi guys, am new to all this photography thing and just bought myself a nexc3k.

any good websites for beginners or tips from sifu sifu on how to utilize this machine ? hehe thanks!

I am wonder why don't get nex5n? Anyhow, this forum might help you understand more for nex just like me

Panadol white balance lari ah?
Toughnut: I love my Yashica 50 1.4! I just shot last night mostly with it. I can live with 75mm focal length and I'm very happy with that!

Ya lar, didn't adjust the WB when I switched off the flash.
Wanted to do some PP to correct it, but decided to keep the "warm" feeling.

One thing I observed is photos look nicely exposed on the NEX's screen, but when I look at the same photos in my PC,
they look underexposed. Is this normal for the camera?

Panadol,
NEX have very nice screen which make the photo looks vivid bright.
PC monitor have various quality and it is not calibrated. that's normal.

Underexpose is good. Overexpose is not good. With underexposed images, you can turn up the brightness and still have the details intact. Overexposed images, even if you turn down the brightness, the details may be lost. If you are in P mode, adjust the EC to compensate for the brightness contrast. In M mode, select a slower shutter speed number (smaller number) or select bigger aperture( a smaller F number). For portraits I guess a bigger aperture is more desirable.
