albnok: aiseh, my mistake, playing too much with canon lens liao tongue.gif

i did asked them several time last time, 2 or 3 times, each time they tells me that its not good, confusing with lens range E vs A etc, then Alpha thread too fast cannot catch up (now it seem alpha is super slow and E thread is too fast)... if u really wanted to merge, let get more ppl blessing first.

awiekupo: done~

just now went to sony center tried the A6000, overall was not bad, i just dont like the kit lens. should i upgrade to 35mm? hmmm

btw, can A6000 shoot it bulb?
*
Yes. You have to turn to Manual Dail-Mode, set the shutter speed pass 30sec to go into bulb mode.

35mm is nice combo...

i believe most of sony camera user is using e-mount camera, i guess better not going to merge? so at least if a-mount user when sharing or seek for idea, won't be easily abandoned? although it may not a good idea
*
My reason for merge is there is a more wiser senior in A thread, and they can give a lot better advise. And most A user have E mount too, and I always see many un-answered e mount newbie question or being answered back with misleading info. You will be surprise many a mount user knows the answers many funny issues with the E mount system. tongue.gif

That's common understanding of Direct Flash make the photo dull!!!
But when use it right like fill flash, off camera flash, etc... it really make all the different!!
*
Confused, fill flash is direct flash ma?.... Or typo?

Han18: Direct flash is not dull/ulgy/bad if we know how to balance it(manually) with ambient.. for eg: Nex pop up slowsync flash mode helps a lot for indoor. The slower shutter speed will let the ambient creep in/overwrite the white flash on the skin.

Sometimes is not the flash intensity but the color of flash vs ambient color temp that cause the photo look harsh.
White white face vs yellow yellow background. So it felt like the flash too strong coz too white. Read up 'flash color gel' first...

My flash setup is with 1/2 cto gel fulltime. Day or night or indoor, the 1/2 cto give a nice tone to skin like a golden reflector.

mmmmm.... okay.... it seem we have 17Yay and 2 Nay with 4huh? instead of letting this thread goes 50 page before we get our 190votes out of 288 ppl

here my idea.... i will Close this thread, moving everyone to The Sony Alpha Thread V60, The Orange Legion (Photography)
(maybe i will try talk to albnok to change the name to Sony Imaging World, which can include of CyberShot Compacts, Video Camera? and Action Cam)

here the deal, this thread is not complete dead, this move will be temporary trail if everyone will be happy with the merge over at The Sony Alpha Thread V60, The Orange Legion (Photography). Those who think E/FE Mount should be independent from A mount, Please PM me. if i get minimun of 25 people PM against the merging. i will reopen this E/FE mount thread. Good enough? okay shoo shoo now, go play nice over at The Sony Alpha Thread V60, The Orange Legion (Photography)
