i have spent more than 1.5hours to test trigger and flash at the shop.
YN560 apparently is not workable with the trigger. at last i bought YN468 which is slightly more expensive but with multi flash mode which is what i want! it did work with the trigger with our NEX flash. |

QUOTE(stimix @ Mar 5 2012, 10:36 PM) I was like... Yes! The Seagull SYK-5!!! Do not get the wrong SYK-3! on Optical trugger flash untill I found this:Interesting indeed  But it might not work with all Flashgun, eg. YN560. I tested with YN468, it triggered in the M mode perfectly. photo coming in the next post.... This post has been edited by RX-78-2: Mar 6 2012, 01:13 AM |

i was told the seagull might not work perfectly under hot sun.
but i never tested it myself. The perfect solutions is Optical Trigger + radio transmitter! |

just buy from studio zaloon uncle chin or any other shop u can get locally, no need bulk buy lar!
at least u can bring your cam to test any of the flahgun there! i check the price is not much higher than order online! and it's risk for missing parcel and defected unit. |

since not much of choice at this moment for E mount lenses, you may get this for AF macro and also day time prime lens.
i tested it quite ok for AF! and 30mm is good for APSC. This post has been edited by RX-78-2: Mar 6 2012, 11:06 AM |

yes, i have read that also.
If u read till the end, he did mentioned: "If you do not have a good 28mm, then the trade-off is more difficult. How much will it cost to find a good enough manual 28mm? With the risk of being disapointed each time you buy an old lens. With the new Sony SEL30M35 you are certain you won’t be disappointed considering the available reviews." that's why i mentioned it might good for AF and daylight use. |

EVF is not a must to help you improve image quality.
But a good 50mm will be very essential especially for taking portrait. |

QUOTE(ngcmn @ Mar 10 2012, 08:43 PM) sigh... bought the syk5 to sync it with my f58.. but too bad the hot shoe converter sold at uncle chin there not working with the syk5.. any1 go better recommendation for hot shoe converter?? what time u went there? i was there about 5-7pm.You sure is the SYK5 not compatible or just the unit you bought is defected? You didn't test it before you buy? Actually you can ask to test with your own flash or any of his flash which available to test!! this is good about buying thing from Studio Zaloon that he have a lot of products for you to test! Try go back to him and told him the problem. he will be more willing to help. |
