I also got (different session though) http://www.flickr.com/photos/williamleong/...7230251/detail/

Shot mostly with Minolta 85mm

vyruzj, nice set.

the 50mm gives quite a distracting bokeh no?

At first I thought its a typo, but I think you're referring to 35mm instead of 3.5mm

'constant f/4' means that at the widest aperture, no matter that focal length you're at, the aperture will still maintain at f/4. the kitlens for example isn't constant aperture, as at 16mm, it's f/3.5 and when zoomed to 50mm, it will be f/5.6

you have a pretty impressive collection for a 'new learner'

You're comparing apples and oranges here... it should be Sony vs Canon, not Zeiss vs Canon.. big no no... unless you're talking Zeiss vs L lens.

Furthermore, I believe you're referring to the Canon's 50mm EF lens right? FYI, Sony's SAL 50mm f/1.4 is RM1.2k in the market, RM1.4k RRP.. Do the math.

Ah Hao, I'm also using NEX 3 as well, I still get the photos I want from it, no need upgrade also.

Nic, the Micro adjust is to adjust minute focusing errors (back focusing). It's very very helpful for situations you're facing. Read up on it and do it yourself to correct the focusing issue.

If you need help, come over to Sunway tonight, we go yum cha, I'll help u with it.

To confirm if my guess is right, do this, disable phase detect in the camera.. That will drop it back to Contrast detect AF. Take a shot again to see if the focusing error is still there. If my guess is right, the focus should be spot on now. Which means you need to do the micro adjustments in order for you to utilize phase detect without back focusing.

It's true. I've played with the LA-EA3 before. On the NEX-VG900.

For KL ppl. How about an outing for street shoot? Since NEX is the perfect candidate for that. Petaling Street is a popular (albeit an overshot) location. KL Bird Park (tele lenses optional but preferred).

Still open for suggestions.

I have some too

hidden, or rather you should ask, anyone with such technical skills here and have a spare/donated camera with is able to do that.

hi calapia, nice of you to share some photos

photo doesn't seem to have a prominent subject, probably the next time you could try to utilize the rules of third for framing a subject in your image, and try to get your shot to 'tell' a story. In this shot, you could have probably tried to go nearer in front of the people in the scene and shoot, with the boats and sea as the background. That would make a more interesting shot. Careful of your framing as well, you could have also 'cropped' away the half-boat on the right before pressing the shutter. Straight horizon though
