Thanks all. Sometimes i wonder do i added too much contrast, cause all screen look differently.

all my pics were edited with a noob software named Photoscape, im too lazy to learn PS thumbup.gif

the blue sky sometimes i add a "CPL filter" look to make the pic more interesting.

looks perfectly fine on mine at least tongue.gif

They live at places with river or ponds right ?  hmm.gif

I thought they always fly around looking for food?

My guess because I saw some of them around my house but I don't recall having any big ponds/ river around.

Got a question - how can i eliminate the "net-alike" colourful flare at the sun ?

Something to do with the structure with sensor, different camera will produce different kind of color dots.

Quite sure it cannot be removed when you are shooting directly into the sun.

Awesome picture nonetheless.smile.gif

nono, i think it's not about the lens. I read about this somewhere before in a chinese forum but it's long time ago so I can't remember the details. maybe the other sifus can explain.

Hi All

I have been reading many lens reviews

I want to ask:

- some people like to use brickwall and some use windows to check for distortion

As far as I know brickwalls and windows are hardly accurate straight lines, due to workmanship (or maybe Malaysia use cheap foreign labours but overseas dont?)

Isnt this brickwall test a bit out of place? unsure.gif

Well, its impossible for a brick wall to become curved anyways. No matter how good or bad the craftsmanship is.

I have one original external charger fron NEX5N + one OEM from China.  Both unit served my purpose.. One advantage the OEM unit has is , it can run off 12V car.. that gives me options.. but I know there are now units that can run off 5V so power banks will give better flexibility.. but I will not charge direct tro the camera USB.. 

I can easily ring an up or down voltage converter so my variables are still there.. an advantage of being in the trade.

A little off topic but I wonder why are our camera batteries so small in capacity yet quite big in size in comparison with smartphone batteries which have more mAh yet more compact? Sorry if this sounds silly but I am very curious about this.
