Another macro-in week..BTW, I hv a quick comparison wth Ragnox 250 macro filter Vs My Hoya +4 & Ilens +10 combined. Well, the +14 given closer image but the quality, I hv to admit Ragnox better. Upon zooming, the _14 macro filter having outer yellowish lines whereas, Ragnox no yellowish lines..

Shaking hand mah at this max F5.6 _ macro haha..furthermore the focusing area getting super narrow at this max zoom range. If using Raynox, the focusing area slightly bigger and more area to focus.. Yeah you can see the tail part abit out of focus fo sure and if you DL & zoom-in further, you can see the yellowish lines. Raynox- no yellow-yellow wan haha...hand gatal abit wanna get a raynox liao but dunno how to sell these overpriced maro filters..

tnx for the tip..but normally I set everything to auto except to the macro scn mode haha..should I go for M mode?

@ jtan.pdr Tnx but isn't it difficult using tripod when the objects are moving all over the place? Yeah not easy...better macro-ing on flower..more static ..This probably my best macro shot of those ants dy:

In Sg Wang..it's either Boeing or Photo Edar/Bintang haha. But their accesories damn expensive..BTW, I'm the one kena slaughtered for buying cheap NEX5N but expensive filters there

NEX 5 is cheap bcos it's older version of NEX5N. For 2 lens NEX 5 can be same price as a new NEX5N wth only 1 lens. And that 1 lens itself can be inthe region of ~RM800 already!

BTW, I got my NEX5N + the 18-55 lens for RM2190. Vheap -Yes but not the filters & acessories

Here the differences: http://www.dpreview.com/products/compare/s...ucts=sony_nex5n

Since when here becoming trading thread liao haha..Anyway..pic spam since it's lunch time..

Yeah.. That what I think also..haha..Still hv yet to really play wth ISO & exposure..still on AF haha

Haha..honestly I also yet to master foto-chop

Tnx will give it a try..although long long time ago I did DL that software b4 just to watermarked my photos..Thereafter, lost interest and forgotten about it haha

On the way buying & trying an ancient 70s' Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm F1.4 + NEX adaptor from on forumer here....Any comment on this bokeh lens b4 I commit.

Yeah going to do that but probably few comment and feedback from current & past users on this lens will helps..my current source is just reviews from internut haha...,,Worry bcos it's antique
