ya darn
today i bring few kgs to work also

Go easy on the cam.

What I did is I got something like a small DSLR Bag and store the S3IS inside with the lens adapter always on. The remaining space is for the acessories and cables. I got a cheapo bag from Carrefour for this. Makes good practise before stepping up to DSLR and also protects the cam from knocks better than the ori pouch. Attaching my lenses are also faster as the lens adapter is on all the time....

i guess i'll use this for a while longer *god knows when how long*

get a lowepro
;p no need bring umbrella edy

Haha.....dun poison him to get Lowerpro so fast ler....

Get one which is waterproof lor. Check Carrefour. I got mine less tha RM50. Fits the S3IS with the converter on, Plus lens hood,2 filters,Wide+macro lens. Compartments at the side can fit your extra batteries and mini tripod + lense cleaner.

can show hows your lens hood looks like? where u bought it? SG too?

lowepro nova series AW (All Weather) has a hidden "raincoat" for the bag...
good buy

Well the lense hood came as a set with the Original CANON 58mm lense adapter set(LAH-DC20). I think lensemate doesn't include this.


Thats sweet. Does it cost an arm and a leg also ?
Anyway googled this Lowerpro Nova pack for pics...

ya, u r right, lensmate didnt include this You still can put on the filter after that? Btw, thanks for the photo.

No problem. Just helping what I can.

Your lensemate adapter is aluminum 52mm ring right? You probably have to look for 3rd party 52mm lens hood cos the Original Canon one is on the 58mm thread.

julchin_09,

nice 'canon' hehe... can post some photo sample taken by the lense?

No panoramic pics of landscape at the moment. Only macro pics of my creepy crawlies....

I wanna ask, what macro/close-up lens do you guys use for your S3?

s3 noneed macro closeup lens. its own lens can do 0 cm macro, ie place your subject directly on the lens, still can focus on it.

I know, but I wanna be able to do some tele-macro shots. Eg. Insects that fly away when you get too close to them. Eeek bees.

& also barrel distortion... & lens shade while flash is used

How you guys going to travel with this big bag? It is troublesome for me.

well they do come in different sizes and types.

Same here . We need them +power macro lenses to shoot macro from afar. If you ask me, 0cm is just a gimmick and is not effective cos when you get THAT Close, there is hardly enough light to take the pic. Also these Macro lenses have magnification power so you get more closeups.

The one I got was from Vitacon. Unfortunatly theres barrel distortion at the sides and maybe does not work as well as the original S3IS macro lense (500D)...



The Macro sifus here can advise how to correct it or make it better?

my gf suggested that she get me a tripod. wanted to ask for a lense hood n adaptor with a tele lense or something else
