Thanks chiahau, I've linked to your post!

eddybeh: I have the Sigma 12-24mm, and it does have a lot of barrel distortion, but it's pleasant, so you don't notice it. You won't know it has distortion until DxO corrects it!

Anyway, as for the picture I posted, the thing about it is not the distortion...

8tvt: Fire in the wrong place, supposed to be on the candles LOL. I like how close #2 is, and for #3 you could take poetic license and tilt the frame so the 2 balloons on the left are not in the picture.

Also, if you cropped #5 to the top half, it would look like you were in a balloon yourself!

ieR: Yes it has 5 pins - how many other lenses have 5 pins? Look at the back of any lens and tell me what's different.

noted albnok..
tomorrow will try again..
hopefully no rain.. and with good sky..

jerebu la always..

albnok: noted. i think old minolta lens have 5 pins oso rite? my mini beercan oso 5 pins... i remember u all mentioned the difference b4, but cant remember well..

5 vs 8 pins is to add info for the advance distance integration (ADI) circuitry. As for what is Albert trying to show with the 5 pin lens, I'm not sure, but my best guess if it's a Sony lens is that it's an STF.

Addon: it has got orange dot, it IS a Sony lens. And judging by the size of the rear element, a congrats is overdue!

Hello everyone,

How much do they usually charge for sensor cleaning?

Thumbs up, great photos. Keep up the good work

Pic #1 is great! I like it. The background is clean and the composition works. For no. 2 I'm kinda turned off by the flare... but that's just me.


albnok : I noticed the 5 pins too and the casing got me a bit confused as 5 pins is common for old Minolta AF lenses but then this is new... but what lwliam say may be true.. could it really be the STF??!!

8tvt : Like pic #3! I like how you framed it.

that one using UWA.. so can come very close with other view..
luckily no distortion..

Wokeh!

Bokeh pic spam!

Hope this qualifies... albnok what say you? It's not the best but I'm sure it's far from the worst... haha

Helping my friend in his studio...playing with his lens...self poisoning XD

C&C welcome =)
just my noob shots

i need some guide .. when you purchase lens is just cash n carry, credit card full pay or fully installment ?

if got 0 interest why not installment?

wow... noted. as i know is 1 shot pay & installment, the unit price is different

If more than 2k, I prefer use card swipe and clear 2morrow. Dislike carrying too much cash.

But, overall, prefer buy with cash/CC as long as settle on the spot.

If you buy something with installment, it usually mean you are not ready to afford it.

So, if can cash, might as well pay full and settle it asap.

But if REALLY can get 0% no charge, street priced item, same price with CC or cash, then maybe....

if you are using platinum card with those extra warranty on top of manufacturing warranty, why not?
