since you guys want to see the different between those filter.

I think it is much easier to see the comparison in the blog.

wufei,
i hope u can help me answer some question.

1) why the above bee's photo u used ISO200 rather than use ISO100? i believe it's a outdoor photo right?
I want fast shutter speed, because the bee keep moving.  doh.gif

2) did u crop the picture?
No crop, use filter, what is the power cannot remember

3) any tripod?

yes... 12x zoom. well.. it depand... 12x zoom for macro af is very hard to take... sweat.gif i used tripod for that one

12X Zoom will give u a good DOF

And somemore why i prefer F8.0, because i want to get the whole pics o the screen and less DOF....If F2.8 it will give me a blur object... u know lar...the border of the macro lens is always blur out a bit

Aperture and Depth of Field (DOF)


The Depth of Field is the distance wherein objects are in focus.

There are times when you desire a great depth of field, i.e. where objects both close to you and far from you are in focus. This is especially true when you are taking a landscape picture and want as much as possible to be in crisp focus.

Then there are times when you want to isolate your subject, as when you are taking a portrait and want your subject to be in sharp focus but the background to be out of focus. In this case, you desire a shallow depth of field.

One way to influence DOF is by selecting the appropriate aperture.

The rule of thumb is this:

* Select a large aperture (or small f/value or small aperture value), e.g. f/2.8, to obtain a shallow DOF
* Select a small aperture (or large f/value or large aperture value), e.g. f/8.0, to achieve great DOF

Note: Since we are on the subject of DOF, DOF also changes with focal length. Use a small focal length to increase DOF, a longer focal length obtain a shallower DOF. I.E. if you zoom, the DOF decreases. [OK, to be technically correct, focal length does not really affect DOF, but gives the effect that it does. And, that's good enough for us since that's what we're after. We'll cover DOF in a later tutorial.]

Due to the small image sensors used, digital cameras use such small focal lengths that it is very difficult to obtain shallow depth of field even when using a large aperture. In the example above, we used a large aperture AND a long focal length (telephoto macro) to achieve a shallow DOF.

Just got my gf the FX-01. Hope she likes it tongue.gif

She wanted the Sony Cybershot T10 but after much soul searching, I decided that the FX was better tongue.gif

gals like sony (branded mah). You think gals knows about all those technology ah? You ask ur gf wat type of PC she wants to buy, she would answer you dell, HP & etc. and you will like a customised PC.

Sony is slim and small, thats y it is a gal favourite

For me, No no to Sony, because their pics is very yellowish
