3) hahaha.

oh, you have a LA-EA2 adapter i assumed? brows.gif
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.... icon_question.gif

1) Yup i got LA-EA2 tongue.gif but i seldom use, now i using 3rd party RM80 haha.
2) Sigma 19mm better then 16mm?  the different distant just abit only. Save $ and buy CZ tongue.gif
3) If u dun like vcu-ecf1 give it to me.
*
i love the vcu-ecf1 very much, but 16mm so so only...
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? hmm.gif

Paiseh, vcu-ecf1 is fisheye adapted haha. I got vcu-ecf1 also. I use 16mm + vcu-ecf1 =fisheye haha.

BINGO...
but if i forgo 16mm and get sigma 19mm, which i think the new sigma cant work with the adapter together...
then i no fish eye forever liao cry.gif

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... cry.gif

Thx. shoot flower, try using F3.5 tongue.gif

thanks for your feedback too keanhui...
btw, i shooting this under big sun (it was a sunny afternoon)...
if i push the aperture to wide open, my super fast shutter speed will affect the picture quality?
my ISO is only set at 100... i still found flash with diffuser is needed in order to show the inner deep middle part of the flower...
maybe sunny day really not suitable to take photo yawn.gif

Geek, nice start! 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 doh.gif

Geek, contrast is... errr -.- not shooting setting, more of image processing setting. the differences in tone, ur pic just lack of toning. put a little more tone, the image will pop.

better wait for the rumored 35 1.8 to come out  biggrin.gif
anyways if u buy 30/35mm range prime, most likely u would prefer that than the 50mm after that  sweat.gif

i will still keep the 50mm no matter how... use it for potrait really nice...
but the new 35mm could be more than double the price of the current sigma 30mm...

anyway, i hv decided to wait for the 35mm to see how... notworthy.gif
