Good luck bro.. Mind to share your findings on sigma 30mm? A lot ppl take me invisible here I feel.. Lol... Got ppl said auto focus not working on this lens when filming.. Is it true?

To be honest, I tested this lens once only before deciding to get it this sunday.

I don't really use Video at all, in fact, I'm only interested with Still Photography so....

Can't really answer that Question regarding Video performance

But some reviews shown at B&H photos say it can, so..

Go to your nearest Outlet and test it out?

Just to share my super lightweight and compressible bag

From this:

Timbuk2 hidden messenger bag ($25) and ebay camera insert ($12)

To this:

Small, lightweight and low profile camera messenger bag. Total cost: $37



That camera insert designed to fit a DSLR with kit zoom and another lens.

hey!! not bad wor... got link to ebay?

Link

Quality quite ok for the price. Wish it come with more dividers as it's like a big empty space to fit a CSC.

Yea.. agree... this is taking an unnecessary risks, because you have alternative methods!!

Here's one that I just took of a wrist watch using 1st gen NEX-5 adapted with a hacked Canon lens.

Nice shot there,
How did u manage to modify your lens

Testing Minolta maro 50mm F3.5 without the ext tube... surprisingly can focus & getting similar bokeh shot as those below F1.8 .. Can use this as potrait lens liao

Where'd you get your extension tube?

The 1:1 ext tube is standard when I got the lens lor.. Earlier, most of the time, I played wth the ext tube attached and this Morning, without the ext tube, result really good
Another 2 macro shot without the ext tube.. i.e I will be getting 1:2 macro ratio only but honestly the pic quality without the tube much better

hey guys. im planning on getting a nex 5n for my wedding hantaran this july but im contemplating getting it now or wait til last minute. will there be good stock supply by then (most shops i go to say have to order first) or should i order now? will the price be the same or lower by june/july? also any recommended shops? thx

thanks for the link...i think i gonna get one...can some money from buying a camera bag and deploy it on normal bagpack..

I bought mine from superbid, you might have a look on it, can get cheaper price de

err.. did you factor in the time it would take you to get familiar and skillful with a new camera ?? Learning curve thing la if you want to use more of the M mode.
Hm.. using old NEX-5 as a comparison.. the price in Feb 2011 and now has a difference of RM 400.(comparison made based on best denki price)

So I may guess the price difference won't be more than that Rm 400 amount, or they probably will take it off the shelf, margin is too low.


-----------------------------------------

on another note, I am however curious whether the D3200 will dent the sales of NEX7 or not. Since NEX7, A77 and D3200 using the same amount of Megapixels. Not sure if all 3 sensors are the same though.

Highly doubt it.

Nex 7 is a semi pro mirrorless camera. Not marketed to compete with the D3200.

And to be honest, I rather get the Nex 7 to the D3200....

I followed the information from this place
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showth...t=190428&page=5

probably shouldve made myself clearer, im not taking wedding photos with the camera, itll be one of the wedding gifts (for me hehe). but for nex 5 to drop RM400 in around 2 months.. o_O. guess ill wait a bit.. see if the 5n can go lower even by a bit

erm... Feb 2011 to now.. alittle bit more than a year lar. so I guess NEX cameras depreciates about RM400 to RM500 in a year..? 1/2 year maybe RM200+ depreciate. I can't remember the NEX-5N launch date at the moment..

Add this 50 and 24Z and you are ready to shoot anything, HQ

why no photo ?
