Somehow i don't know how to appreciate the f2.8 vs f3.5 and 24mm vs 28mm efl... smile.gif 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 wink.gif it was just handheld, so was a very rough test, waiting for the adapter to come to give it a real good try smile.gif

QUOTE(geek8585 @ Jul 23 2012, 12:08 PM)
thanks for your reply...

as for your question, just a simple answer... wider aperture and it is prime lens build for landscape shooting..   wink.gif

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...

any filter must have ? like CPL or UV that can act as a protective screen for lenses ?

i look at some CPL filter that is dark in colour will it affected the brightness of the photo?

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.

CPL filter is like when we go to fishing's time wear sun glasses which can see through the surface of water to look at the fish is it??


and can make sky more blue and sharp correct??

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.

Cotton bud at your own risk and probably depends on what brands.. as this may leave even MORE tiny strands of follicles on the sensor. It won't destroy the sensor as you are wiping the low pass filter only. The sensor is behind this filter. I've seen in foreign forums claiming sensor wet wipes do a better job.

Send it back to Sony. If under warranty it's totally free and no need to bring any documentation because they check the serial numbers on the product. Easier to remove battery and memory card before you hand it over, otherwise they will and u have to take those back anyway. They bubble wrap your camera during transportation.

After warranty I think it is RM20 only. The long wait is probably the only pain u will have to endure. Then after that learn to be more selective where to swap lenses haha..

When buy filter then buy the good one.
Hoya then Hoya HD loh.
Expensive is expensive but the quality is there.

CPL will polarise non-metalic surface.
just turn the CPL ring to see effect.

Thanks. By the way when is the next TT?

The 16mm F2.8 is a soft lense. Reduce the aperture to F8 or smaller (F9, F10, etc.) to increase the sharpness throughout all corners of the image. smile.gif

Haha I was thinking exactly same like u b4 I get eyefi, I hear the eyefi name many months ago but I think it is too expensive and never try. but now I love that eyefi card more then everything else. Sometimes 4gb or 64gb no diff. I can't finish 4gb in one shooting sessions. And I always have 16gb backup in my bag which I never use. The good of eyefi, if u in home with wifi, u can directly view picture right after shoot, and later the photo will reach FB. You just need to change the permission from private to public. No need takeout card or plug in plug out cable, no need card reader, no need copy and wait, no need build Ur own folder...

If u have no wifi internet, but got smartphone installed eyefi apps, every shoot will send to your phone instantly (few sec). My eyefi card will always remains 90% free space at anytime.

Work perfect with NEX

Can give a try. smile.gif the price actually rm200 plus if buy from Malaysia seller. And please dun buy flu-card rm150 8gb singapore brand which is a crap product.

U right, I use jpg only, raw will be problem if no wifi and no handphone nearby (can't upload to phone).

For normal use okey, got 8gb but the price is extreme expensive totally not worth.

Sal is A mount for Sony / Minolta dslr, while la-ea 2 is the adaptor to convert it to E mount, if u got other brand of lens like canon/Nikon, try other adaptor which is cheaper. Not worth to invest la-ea2 unless u got very good Sony alpha lens and wana plug it to Nex and enjoy fast auto focus....
