I dun have much lens, my Fav lens is just SP90 jek. i'm using the e-mount 30M35... actually 1 stupid question... is the vcu-ecf1 able to mount on sigma 19mm? LOL Added on August 1, 2012, 11:59 pm QUOTE(tiewgine8039 @ Aug 1 2012, 04:49 PM) i just want to know approximate how far away.. but i guess... when there is intruder, they won't come back gua.. Let say 1 meter or something. yesterday i take with insane distance about 1 inch. Added on August 1, 2012, 4:51 pm 30mm.. maybe a bit short for macro? or maybe u wait at same spot. i dont know where i read that bugs like to fly back to place they stay before. maybe it come back Added on August 1, 2012, 4:51 pm wa... bro, u banyak lens wo... actually i happened to see a bee ... and i am with the 30mm lens... when i get closer to it, it fly and i terkejut till almost wan throw my camera out... luckily got hand strap so beware... they might haunt you... hahaha This post has been edited by geek8585: Aug 1 2012, 11:59 PM |

QUOTE(fansoption @ Aug 2 2012, 12:29 AM) oh, you have a LA-EA2 adapter i assumed? i might want to sell off the 16mm now first and get sigma 19mm.. rumour around saying sony is coming out a new pancake lens 11-18mm, yet i have to see the quality first... maybe vcu-ecf1 can pakai balik... i will be travelling in mid of this month, still thinking of want to get 19mm or just stick with the existing 16mm....

QUOTE(fansoption @ Aug 2 2012, 10:00 AM) 1) Yup i got LA-EA2 i love the vcu-ecf1 very much, but 16mm so so only...2) Sigma 19mm better then 16mm? the different distant just abit only. Save $ and buy CZ 3) If u dun like vcu-ecf1 give it to me. what i mean is in term of sharpness and IQ at F2.8 wide open, sigma 19mm do perform a lot better than the pancake 16mm right? |

QUOTE(lwliam @ Aug 2 2012, 10:41 AM) ok, make it short... when plug in the fisheye adapter, i do feel the photo quality improved a lot... but what if i do not need the fisheye effect, i take out the adapter from the 16mm and the distortion is like mad... and corner is so soft... Added on August 2, 2012, 11:35 am QUOTE(fansoption @ Aug 2 2012, 10:44 AM) i do think it got autofocus motor also since it's built for e-mount...aiya... wide angle lens i notice if you on the focus peaking features, it looks like focus everything ad This post has been edited by geek8585: Aug 2 2012, 11:35 AM |

Try opt for a larger aperture size (smaller f-number) to get the background to melt away into a dreamy goo. It makes the background less distracting as well. hahaha.. thanks for yr teaching lwliam...i like the bokeh of the yellow flower... but over exposure This post has been edited by geek8585: Aug 3 2012, 10:27 AM |

B+W is almost double the price of hoya... how how? do you guys buy 1 filter and change the filter to the lens in use when you changing the lens? or buy filter for every lens?
