anyone can recommend a ND filter (brand and price)? budget below RM200.

for landscape blue-blue sky purpose.

after study from mr google, i think i need GND filter, not ND and CP... i want my pictures sky blue/sunset turn out to be attracting, not wash out...

if there any GND filter for 49mm? some are square, some are round shape, any recommendation?

i suppose Tamrom and Sigma should be significantly cheaper than original lens?

Sony 18200 rrp2399 vs tamron rrp2899 ?

i guess you have to buy a real macro lens in order to get this kind of result

like tamron sp90 maybe?
ya, i wonder about this too, can get the price in US website but totally missing from malaysia website. Not even the model list there.

eagerly finding a zoom lens, any recommendation?

Added on February 25, 2012, 11:02 amits sold, but its tokina version, start with no.37

This post has been edited by Ah hao: Feb 25 2012, 11:02 AM

tokina version (start with NO.37) macro is only 1:4, not really a macro lens... but from what i read from internet, quite a number of users said Tokina is the best among vivitar series 1, if you don't mind macro focusing... How true is that i am not sure

Tokina version is the lightest and smallest among first 3 version of vivitar series 1(all review said only choose first 3 version), but Tokina version is already bulky and heavy, so i really cant imagine the other version's weight and size

ya...the handling is bad for me

when this lens attach to nex, i hold the lens instead of camera, if i hold on camera i really scare the mount will break apart so i don't dare to use tripod either, the lens weight is too much

and when focusing,i turn focus ring with 1 hand , hold the lens(camera) with another hand, then hand shake seriously till i always get blur picture

maybe i have a chicken hand

first pic is nice, sharp and nice color

Added on February 27, 2012, 11:30 amwhich version of sigma 70-210mm?

i am finding a macro lens too, if focal length < 100mm, its hard to shoot animal except for some slow movements bugs, but if if not AF and OSS, >100mm is easily blur due to handshake... Dilemma

Added on February 27, 2012, 11:32 amRisk my life for this shot, wild owl with 50mm lens, simply a step ahead i can reach "him"

Please advice, am i overdoing the color/contrast/sharpness? CnC is greatly welcome

OWL nvr panic

it makes u panic only by keep staring at u without blinking

its oil palm's leave.... btw, next time when replying, don quote the image as well, thanks

this pic is taken by MD 50mm F1.7, no money to buy 1.4

1st pic is taken @ f3.5, so its obviously sharper than the 2nd one, taken with f1.7...

a no brand adapter, for this lens is MD - e mount adapter, can get it less than RM50 from ebay

i am quite surprise for its performance too, as this lens is definitely older than me

ya, at f2.8/3.5...

PP awhile for that same pic, and i like this tone

u gotta crop for that i guess, and use f1.4 to shoot food is it too wide open?

suddenly remind of a thing call extension tube, it can shorten the minimum focus distance. but how well the effect i don know, nvr try b4

u try it then tell me the effect

if u buy alpha lens, ya, will AF when using LA-EA2, but its super duper slow AF...

the lens i bought is MD 50mm f1.7, its an OLD lens, which at that moment still didnt invent AF yet MC/MD lens cant use LA-EA2, because the mount is different... and no matter how, it cant AF... if it AF, u throw it away and u run

when quoting,pls put a spoiler on the image.

and the food is basically everywhere, penang-kl-jb, especially in jusco.

I dont know how to see bokeh is nice or not

U mean its not bokeh enough ? Or the bokeh is ugly?
