For rm120, i can buy 2 x 32gb kingston sd class 4, making it a whopping 64gb in total.

Somehow i don't know how to appreciate the f2.8 vs f3.5 and 24mm vs 28mm efl... i only feel the benefit is smaller than 1855 that's all. Prime lenses are supposed to be sharper but i don't feel the case for this sel16f28.....

I did try using canon 50mm 1.8 With the nex and it seems to work but can't set aperture so it's permanently stuck at f1.8 i guess it was just handheld, so was a very rough test, waiting for the adapter to come to give it a real good try

I think NO filter is the best. Just be careful with the lens, for the 1855 there is a lens hood given so use that as protection but if you really want to use, please get one which is real expensive and not some cheapo filter. See here...

Read the links i gave. Details there.

Do you know what cpl is for and when you use it? If not, better skip any filters for now, just use and enjoy the camera.

Otherwise if you really really want to get a filter, you ned to get those in the range of hundreds, not some cheapo filters which might cause image quality issues.

sorry no idea, i don't believe in using any filters for protection at this time. think it just waste the quality of the lens+camera unless get those really good expensive ones.

someone was asking about sensor cleaning, happened to stumble upon this:
http://www.moosepeterson.com/blog/2012/06/...ith-copperhill/

good stuff! to check if sensor is dirty, set camera to f/22 and shoot a blue sky then look for any dust spots in the photo.

I guess you never use RAW... If you do, 4GB tadak cukup man!!

but it does sound interesting how it works, sounds very easy and convenient to use but for me, i'm still a traditional person haha

Of course for photographic reasons then yes by all means use filters. But not for 'protection' using some cheapo sacrificial filter! It's just spoiling the image the camera and lens is capable of

Actually after the crop factor, 24mm has efl of 36mm right?

the name says it all... Circular Polarizing Filter... it filters away light at 90 degree angles, if you stacked TWO CPLs together, and aligned 90 degrees to each other, you will see nothing. all black, meaning 100% of light totally filtered off.

WOW...............

you're in a Gen2 car, wearing long sleeve collar shirt, at traffic lights which is red color at the moment photo was taken.

Unbelievable details!!!!

BTW, wear your seatbelt, safety first!

50mm on NEX will give you effective focal length of 50x1.5=75mm (based on 35mm format)
85mm on NEX will give you effective focal length of 85x1.5=127.5mm (based on 35mm format)

The focal length is like zoom. The longer it is, then you can shoot faraway objects easier but the field of view is much narrower. E.g. if you want to take photo of lion in Africa, you won't want to use 24mm... You use 200-300mm or even more. If you want to shoot a school photo for example, you can't use 50mm unless you stand really really really far away. If you stand near, you'll probably only get the photo of one person or 2-3 max. You'll probably want to use 24mm or maybe even lower.

read here... fantastic tutorials...
http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/learn-pho...hy-concepts.htm

The Sony NEX sensor is APS-C sized, and there is a crop factor. Most lens spec is listed based on 35mm standard. E.g. the kit lens 18-55mm and 16mm, combined with the crop factor gives you the effective focal length of 27-82.5 and 24mm respectively.

I'm going to try that - ordered my adapter waiting... once arrive will try and report

planning F/1.8 all the wayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

Whoever looking for 5N and F3, goto facebook and look for DY Divine. I just saw their promo up! RM1699 for the F3, RM2199 for the 5N!

Disclaimer: I'm not related to DY Divine, just thought of sharing this info as I saw people asking. Please do your own due diligence and shop/compare pricing!

Canon which model? You ask this question here.. Sure it will be biased answer

dpreview seems to indicate otherwise, think 5N can fight or on par with Canon high end SLRs...

flash bounce can be solved with RM70

can you try using the MD-NEX and the 50mm 1.7 lens without the extension tube?
would it be clear if it's without the tube? if it's clear, might want to research more about using extension tubes with that particular lens... may not be compatible..

isn't 16mm equivalent to 24mm? Is 24mm too wide? btw, can't see anything in the facebook photo set... probably security settings

I also did some quick tests on my NEX C3 with the 18-55 and 16mm... slight vignetting for 16mm but I think not as bad as what is mentioned above.... see for yourself (sorry the zoom lens was moved a bit hence the different FL). Straight OOC jpeg resized only.
