Stick with B+W for the strong NDs if you have the dough... but it does give you a colour cast unfortunately... Heck even the Lee Big Stopper has a colour cast lol.

Otherwise the Haida brand slim ND1000 is a good alternative, but it flares more (of course) and it still gives you a slight cast.

STAY AWAY from the newer Hoya HD ND1000s - apparently they make pictures noticeably less sharp for some unknown reason. They don't have much of a colour cast though, which makes it even stranger.

If you have endlessly deep pockets and don't mind shipping stuff from the US, there's also Breakthrough Photography, a relatively new kickstarted brand that makes awesome filters (but for a super premium 'upper bracket' price of course). Supposedly their newest X3 ND1000 is top pick of the ND litter because it only has VERY LITTLE colour casting and is very, very sharp.

Unfortunately, the X3 also makes the B+W filter (or even Zeiss... if they have ND1000 stuff) seem... well... reasonably priced in comparison lol.

Supposedly lah. I haven't tested the Breakthrough stuff myself so I can't say for sure. Plus USD180 w/o shipping for the 72mm ND1000 is a bit too rich for my amateur blood.

That said, I just lost my Zomei ND1000 (AND my CPL + ND16 + Tamrac Filter Case) during my last trip... so I might just bite the bullet for one of their NDs (maybe one of the X2 ND32/6-stoppers) and see what the fuss is all about.

As for vignetting, read below:

Where did you buy your Zeiss filters?
And is your B+W the f-pro or xs-pro? I was wondering if the lens cap can fit the slim XS-pro mount properly without poping out

F pro, whats the diff btw?

erm bought from a shop in johor my friend introduced (Foto Berlian) that's why I trust the shop and got my filter from there.

Zeiss not much fake one rite? Will test it using my transition specs XD

Helo..

its been awhile..huhu

few shot taken yesterday n today..




both above taken during sony workshop at putrajaya 

Feel free to comment..still learning composition

First shot looks like out of focus to me. No?

f-pro thicker mount than xs-pro
if i am not mistaken f-pro is alloy and xs-pro brass
xs-pro suppose to be thin but may have a problem with the lens cap (read from internet la, not actual experience hence my question)
im using f-pro btw

Sorry just wanna ask anyone with news regarding the upcoming sony mirrorless? Rumored to be A6100 and A7000?

Am planning to buy A6000 as soon as the price drops

News? The next big convention is in February supposedly... so yeah, best guess is that's the soonest they can "announce" anything (if they want to anyway... the A6100 has been delayed twice already supposedly)... and mind that "announcement" and "shipping" takes a few more months.

And, it seems like whatever's coming next, it's probably NOT going to be the A6000 replacement per sé, just a step up cam like the A7ii is to the A7. So expect very little in terms of "price reduction" for the A6000 as it's going to continue being sold as the "entry-level enthusiast" cam - plus Sony has been continously "adjusting" the price since launch anyway.

You can still wait though, especially if you have no hurry to buy a cam.

BlizzardCraft The Meike for the A6000? It's cheaply built, but works OK. You need an external cable from the grip to your cam for the vertical shutter button to work though - the A6000 doesn't have the required shutter contacts within the battery connection (it was never built for a vertical grip lol).

yup..abit out of focus..

using sigma 10-20 on manual cheapo a mount to e mount adapter..

quite hard to see weather in focus or not..is there any tips?

appears ok in camera LCD but transfer to LR then ony see a bit out of focus..  

Anybody having the problem of stickers of serial number starting to peel off from Sony lenses?
The sticker on my 55mm starting to peel off, how do i claim warranty if it comes out completely? ><

some say they doubt about sony launching a new body for their a7 series, they're lacking behind in lenses.

and looking at the state of malaysia's currency, i doubt there will be a price reduction, at most there will be no increase in price only i think ><

Meike as in general quality , planning to buy a 2nd hand one for my a7.
