For me I'll either buy from SenQ/Senheng or outside shop. SenQ/Senheng offer 3 years warranty, but sell at retail price. Outside shop offer standard Sony 15 months warranty, but cheaper.

Memory card, yeah it should mean only 1 type can use. Takkan force u to use all those cards at once . Micro SD if they say not supported then means not supported lor.
Longest is 30 secs. Yes, remote can work.

The RM150 discount applies to all branches? Applies to NEX 3N also?
Must pay how much to become member?
Ok thank you

This offer valid until when?
I'm not getting the tele lens la, aiming for macro.

no lah the Nikon 1 not very expensive mah so sell off also lose money...might as well let my family member use it.

and the rx100 belongs to my brother.
reliable source told me that nex 3n twin lens sold out immediately cause the zoom lens almost free with that kind of price.

I heard FF NEX is gonna out, so i come over here to 8

cheapest is $1700 body only, should be around rm5499-rm5999, with kit lens add around rm1000. it's still a FF afterall.

Kit lens memang not that good for macro. U can try to use the smallest F number and longest focal length, better to use manual focus to make it focus properly.

Here's an example using the 16-50mm kit lens, cropped


If still not good enough can invest in either extension tubes, close-up filter, raynox or the best is macro lens. This thread may help https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2984344 .

Btw, would be nice if u post some RX100 comparison shots.

you only get the kitlens and did not get other? coz sometimes you may do pwp with other lens, hence cheaper by rm100-300.

for NP-FW50 battery, which third party brand that u guys would recommend?

defocus is about F, ntg much do with 16mm, 28mm.
u wan macro, get a macro lens, macro filter or extension cube, and tripod....
normal lens dun expect to get very "macro" photo lo

This is not the main reason why you can't shoot as close, or get as much defocus.

MAXIMUM MAGNIFICATION

When talking about macro on SLRs, we use this term. It is the ratio between the object you are shooting and the sensor size.

For example, if you are using a full-frame camera, the sensor is usually 36x24mm.

A lens with 1:4x or 0.25x maximum magnification, will be able to focus on a object that is 144x96mm big and fill up the frame completely.

A lens that can do 1:1x is a true macro lens, and it would be able to shoot something that is 36x24mm small on a full-frame sensor.

SENSOR SIZE

If you put a Tamron 90mm F2.8 1:1x Macro lens on a full-frame sensor (36x24mm) then it will be able to shoot at 36x24mm.

If you put a Tamron 90mm F2.8 1:1x Macro lens on an APS-C sensor (24x16mm) then it will be able to shoot at 24x16mm.

So the smaller the sensor, the smaller it will be able to focus on.

The RX100 sensor is smaller than the APS-C and full-frame sensors.

FOCAL LENGTH/LENS EXTENSION

If you have a 50mm F2.8 Macro, in order for it to reach 1:1x, it will extend itself out 50mm.

A longer macro lens will have to extend further. The Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro for example, needs to extend out 90mm to get to 1:1x.

The RX100 starts at 10.4mm at the widest end, so you can imagine that it does not need to physically extend so much to reach a good magnification, compared to the NEX-5T's 16-50mm.

This is also why wide-angle lenses can focus very near to the lens, while telephoto lenses cannot. The Sony E-mount Carl Zeiss 24mm F1.8 is a good example of a very close-focusing lens.

APERTURE LIMITATIONS

You might notice that the brighter the lens, the harder it is to focus close, e.g.:

- Sony 50mm F2.8 Macro - 20cm MFD
- Sony 50mm F1.8 DT SAM - 34cm MFD
- Minolta 50mm F1.7 - 45cm MFD
- Sony 50mm F1.4 - 45cm MFD

Also notice that the Sony 50mm F1.8 DT SAM focuses closer than the Minolta 50mm F1.7. Lenses for smaller formats can usually focus closer. In this list above, only the Sony 50mm F1.8 DT SAM is an APS-C lens; the others are full-frame.

MFD = Minimum Focus Distance, the distance between the subject and the sensor. This is NOT the distance between the subject and the front of the lens. So even though 20cm sounds like very far for the 50mm F2.8 Macro, you'll find that you can actually get around 2cm*  close to the object (because of the length of the lens.)

* if I remember correctly

but you're a Samsung freak! LOL. lower than 300 shots? that's pretty... low, seriously. but if i'm to save the shots in lower resolution, would it helps? how else to prolong it?

I have both ECF and ECU. 

ECF get a bit soft compared to ECU but has its own attributes... a lot will depend on what is your expectation.

if you want to see some test pix... not all are ECF in the group

i always though the tripod screw are universal, no ?

yes, it's universal.

The fisheye converter/adapter is ONLY compatible with the SEL 16mm f/2.8 lens. 

If you're looking for an alternative fisheye for NEX, you can get an A-mount fisheye (eg. Samyang 8mm f/3.5) with an A-E mount adapter.
