It certainly had enough power to bounce, when I tried it with the A900 at ISO1600 and F2.8. On the A99 I comfortably go to ISO6400. I haven't found out what my limit is on the A7s though.


Here's the A7s with the Sony E 16mm F2.8, with the rear baffle removed. It's got a very interesting distortion. Taken from this blog post.

When I actually get around to charging enough batteries to put in 2 flashes, I'd update you all on wireless controller capability - but from testing the F60M on the A7s, it seems it doesn't switch away from CTRL+ mode when I press the shutter (as you may experience on bodies that don't support this), meaning it probably supports 3-group CTRL/RMT/RMT2 ratio mode.

yes it does trigger WL flash via adapter like A900/850/A77/II. confirmed by me

for those who are looking to buy the sel50f18..

got my copy it last saturday and compared to my kit lens at same aperture.. it its definitely sharper and pretty happy with my purchase.. especially with the discount

ok la. really glad to know that

it's depends whether the dealer willing to offer better price and package for u or not

i was wondering what lens u were using for the blog post haha.
with A7s u no need f2.8 no more haha.


noted.
will take the deal for sure
thanks

just my opinion. if u very often deal with their company's outlet PIC, they'll acknowledge u as regular customer, and there's a chance of u will get special offer from them

Selling new original np-fw50 battery and selp1650. Let me know anyone interested

True.

I guess at the end of the day, it is which shop that made you return and become a regular customer. I guess every shop will almost definitely give special price to their regulars.

Probably will end up diff shops for diff people. But I guess competition is quite high now.

why battery sell so cheap? haha. The lens better put some protection on its rear, later damage like that

That makes sense.

Spam Picture!!!

even a new kit lens would be damaged if u put the lens like that without place rear lens cap

A noob question.

I seldom do RAW but today I edited a RAM file in Photoshop CC, then when I saved it in JPEG, the colour is different from what I see in Photoshop. Any idea why this happened?

BTW, I'm using a77.

this may sound like a stupid question but how frequent do we need to service our camera?

i just used my a7 on weekly basis.. so will once a year service will do? actually, what do they really do when they service yr cam?

lastly, where do we bring our sony cam for servicing?

i've been using a77 nearly 2 years and never had it send for services...just DIY cleanup only...even my a300 never been to the service center...just make sure you take good care of the camera like no water spillage or what so ever...

aa.. okok.. tx bro

Well, I would say price really differ from shop to shop depend on what package you are looking for. Some shop sell camera cheap, lens slightly more pricy, or accessory more pricy. I bought my SEL35F18 for RM999 last month during the hari raya promo at fotokem in lowyat (price was cheap cause I bought the Sony A6000 from them as well). Before committing to the purchase, I personally visited 8 camera shops ( within lowyat, sungei wang, mid valley), and called up two shops (yl, digitalmania and another japanese sounding website). Standard camera with kitlens price all the shops are roughly the same. But with package certain shops can do better. So, to find the cheapest, one just have to go do the extra footwork.

the ARW file, are Proprietary format to Sony. (same as crw for canon and nef for nikon)... they do not release the codes to public, and require very special license to use the codes. Only the Original Software develop by the own company will have full support to the ARW file. from a proper exposure control, to Color Profile, to Dynamic range control, to picture effect (canon)

Adobe does not have the license to operate ARW files, so adobe uses the closest color palettes chart to read them. hence you will Never get Sony color out from 3rd party software. so does canon and nikon, which many, even pro photographer doesnt notice that, only pure editors know only... so they operate on default 'flat/neutral' tone and adjust the color to their liking (split toning). very advance editing methods.

(that the reason i dont shoot raw, i shoot jpeg and learn to process the jpeg at its limit)
unlike car, no, it doesnt have a maintenance schedule.... just general self 'wear and tear cleaning'. all the compartment inside are designed to last quiet a long time. 5 year old A300 still running over 150,000 clicks...

ahh, i see. Thanks for the info though
