QUOTE(HMMaster @ Feb 29 2016, 08:57 PM) Are the 3rd party chargers any good for charging the original FW50? I am using Kingma Dual USB Charger, so far so good.  Charging time depending on the wall charger that you are using, using iPad charger is fast enough http://www.lazada.com.my/kingma-dual-usb-b...-5-2930052.html |

QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Mar 3 2016, 08:46 AM) it seems we have another legacy lens player here My Helios 44M dont have the swirly bokeh  I bought the Helios just for the fancy bokeh, wanted to try some portraits with it the Jupiter 8 is for my M mount film camera. Native M mount lenses are too exp for me, I actually thought of saving up for the CV 40mm f1.4 but came across the Jup 8, so just bought it along with an LTM - M mount adaptor to try familiarise myself with rangefinder shooting before spending more on the lenses.  I think only 44M-2 is having that.But quite sharp  Danbo | Taken by Sony A7II + Zenit Helios 44M 58mm F2 by Philip Pang, on Flickr This post has been edited by philipcs: Mar 3 2016, 01:12 PM |

QUOTE(remix2040 @ Mar 9 2016, 12:28 PM) iam interested in the 85 and 135. since you have experience in both. how are they? 85mm and 50mm, i prefer 50mm, so i seldom use 85mm. But both are sharp if you nail down the focus. Both wide open are soft, sharp from f2.8 onwards. Manual focus with Peak Focusing is easy. 135mm, my favorite, i like the focal length f2.8, bokeh is good and image is sharp even wide open @ f2.8 I am using on A7II with IBIS, so handheld is easy too.

QUOTE(remix2040 @ Mar 9 2016, 12:41 PM) Wow. Those are some pretty nice shots. Curious, do you have any 85mm shots? Judging from your 135 pictures, they look real good and seems to fit in for my workflow. But goddamn that IBIS hahaah. I dont really have any nice photo from 85mm because everytime i brought it out, i only use 50mm and 135mm But right now I'm sold on the 135. However, say I want to use the 135 in lowlight situations, the 2.8 is simply not fast enough right? Unless compensated by the nice ISO range on the A7  other than that I'm sold on the 135. And how much is the 135 exactly? hopefully it isn't that expensive  Just some test shot at home, both shot wide open @ F1.8  I'm Danbo! | Taken by Sony A7II + Canon FD 85mm f1.8 by Philip Pang, on Flickr  Canon FD 85mm f1.8 Sharpness Test @ F1.8 | Taken by Sony A7II by Philip Pang, on Flickr For 135mm, i bought from eBay @ US$70 + US$20 shipping. During that time, forex still 1 USD 3.7 MYR This post has been edited by philipcs: Mar 9 2016, 12:46 PM |

QUOTE(remix2040 @ Mar 9 2016, 01:15 PM) That 1.8 is simply irresistible for me. I love the bokeh. I'll to source a 135 out haha. BTW which adapter you using? Metabones? Hahah 85mm f1.8 i bought US$189.00 with free shipping from eBay.I am using China brand FD-E Mount adapter, no brand and cheap one. Not so good, having problem to focus infinity with tele lenses. |

QUOTE(remix2040 @ Mar 9 2016, 01:41 PM) hmm. What about the Helios 44M? Is it good? The famous bokehlicious lens. Helios 44M is 58mm, i thought you said you dont want 50mm lenses.Or you should also consider Helios 40, 85mm f1.5, the bokeh is........  |

QUOTE(mujinkun @ Mar 9 2016, 04:19 PM) Sifus.... 50mm and below should be able to handheld with some right camera holding position and technique.With the A6000 no IBIS, so is it wise to choose and wait for Sigma 30F1.4 to come out? This Sigma dont have any OIS right? Will it effect blurry image? I really really need less than 50MM prime lens at the moment. Side notes: I'm a beginner Also boost the ISO if needed  |

QUOTE(idoblu @ Mar 11 2016, 09:32 AM) i cannot imagine the next generation of A7x FF bodies, what the price must be like in the future Maybe RM4999 is SRP from Sony, street price will be much cheaper? Just like A7II SRP is around RM5700 but street price is just RM4800 Lets calm down and wait for the real street price  |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Mar 15 2016, 06:34 PM) Thanks Bro! What camera you are using? Planning to burst 3 RAW+JPEG shots with 3 different exposures without a tripod. Gonna do this when I don't have much time to setup the shot with a tripod. Sometimes I hate the loading times on my slower 45mb card (not sure whats the write speed). SanDisk extreme cards should have how many years warranty? Also thinking of getting them from amazon or bh photo is the shipping is reasonable to avoid getting fake cards. Your camera buffer also play major role to have fast burst without black out. For example, my Lexar 64GB sd card in RX100m3 burst will blackout for 3 to 5 seconds but the same card burst in Fuji X70 blackout is minimum. |
