it was never a need la.

i used APS-C for professional purpose for a good 5 years at least and have outdone many others who only know how to claim it's a NEED but not able to produce.

the problem with many forum users here is they only THINK FULL FRAME.

The early digital days were WITHOUT full frame.

Full frame only came a bit later but was never a need.

Many professionals go APS-C for good reasons and they still do. Many good cameras and photographers out there are using APS-C. Extremely skilled professional like Ming Thein uses Olympus OM-D EM1 for his assignments, and that's M43 mind you.

Some probably don't realize that  a Foveon APS-C sensor still could be the crap out of Bayer Full Frame sensor.

oh and the most laughable part about this "Full Frame" argument is that people think FULL FRAME is where it ends. Sorry people, there's Medium and Large format.

anyway I'll leave this video for you guys ........

Most ppl started with digital crop and upon found the limitation and limitation of dynamic range, dof etc...FF will come into the picture.

Yes Medium/Large format is the next level....

AF is one thing. Its not only coming from lens but also body...so generally if you have great AF body you would want to pair with greater AF and colour lens..

day time hard to see noise even on high ISO tongue.gif

What are you trying to 'tell' in this photo ? If you talking about spaghetti to me its a NO, i can only call this (my 2 cents) as a random shot with bacon on top the noddle... its too tight and the DOF is bit shallow....

Spoon is distracting as well the back dishes...

Google, Youtube and Practice. There is no fix rule for any type of photography....

If you ask me , i would said presentation of the food, lighting and follow by composition from the person whose taking the image....handphone will be a good practice to start with...

Hi Sifus,
I'm currently using Nissin II Di 622 flash and lately the unit only managed to switch ON after 7-8 times of trying. There is some "cranking" sound and the unit goes dead. This happens even with newly charged Eneloop battery.
Maybe the flash near EOL already.... sad.gif
Cheers!

Guys,

Currently I'm using canon 450D, Tamron 2.8 17-50mm with a normal lowgrade Nissin flash.

You see my 450D started to give me problem and I considering have it upgrade. Do you any suggestion? the price of the 70D looks very attractive to me. But some people just tell me to get a 7D Mk II.

What do you think?? Please advise.
*
All come to budget and your 'wants' . If you do alot sports photography, probably 7D2 is good for you...else i don't see why 70D isn't a good body.

Something to share about Canon Shop in Midvalley as well.

A friend of mine went there last week to test out 50mm F1.4.

The lens was original in the DISPLAY showcase (all the lenses there meant for DISPLAY) - he asked to take out as he wanted to test

Upon the staff handover the lens to him (before mount to those DEMO bodies), he just did a LIGHT shaking the lens to see the construction (to see any loose part or poor build or not), press the AF button to MF and play around with the focus ring....

Guess what, immediately the staff day told my friend..".hello SIR, by doing this we can NO LONGER sell off this lens since your shaking will cause AF mis-allignment shocking.gif , after this we to TABAO this lens sent back to Canon Malaysia (to return back to Canon) shocking.gif ...after than he somemore repeated the same thing to another staff (gang of him - only 2 fella there) by saying...."hey....DO U Have any friend wanted this lens since now the lens CANNOT BE sell anymore.....let sell cheap cheap like RM500-600) to your friend or later our shop just 'absorb' the lens cost.....

My friend was like WTF... shakehead.gif why they are SO RUDE and So ABSURD !....To me is that...COME ON ! Canon lens CANNOT hand cannot handle handshaking ??? This lens (50mm F1.4) somemore NO Image Stabilizer...and he dare to said such a stupxx thing ??? Holy....no wonder alot of ppl commented nowadays CANON service is getting bad to worse......

Sigh....
