you are right on the logic, however bokeh isn't everything. i used to be obsessed with it and then i realized sometimes when you found a nice location with a nice surrounding, but then you shot it with the maximum amount of bokeh in mind (lets say at f1.8 all the time), you will blur out all the details and it made the location pointless and unrecognizable.

its 120fps at 720p (so far DPR is the only site who said 120fps at 1080p), not full HD but still usable for some shorter clips.

but if one were to focus on making video, the a6300 is avaiblable at rm3.6k body only and the video specs are so much better

Some portraits i shot for my friend

Thanks

thanks for the kind words

should be, if it doesnt then its quite disappointing.



tbh the features are even better than m5 in some places, minus the single control wheel. and also it has evf while m6 doesnt have.

the 4k is still quite "cacat" with the heavy crop (11mm became 28mm in 4k), and how canon disabled the dual pixel autofocus for 4k.

i dont see any reason for the AF to not work properly with adapter so you should be quite safe, or maybe give it a test at the camera shop. i tried m5 last time with adapter + canon lens, seemed to work fine.

what is the cons of buying from china? seems quite a bit cheaper but no warranty thats it?

and how about the battery life of the m50? i have the first gen eos M and the battery life really sucks, any improvement?

2) option will give you the closest experience of "phone photography", but the 22mm lens will not be as wide as phone lens. if you can live with fixed lens on a phone, then the 22mm will serve you well. otherwise just get kit lens, being able to zoom will make your life a lot easier.

anyways, took quite a long break from taking landscapes due to misaligned lens (finally got it fixed and its super sharp now). headed out in the dark to test the lens but too bad the clouds covered most of the stars.

Posting more landscapes as it seemed like nobody wanted to post anything

and also the price, if its above rm10k its kinda pointless. canon's current mirrorless is quite overpriced, other than the m50 and m100.

i think the hardest part is to find a good looking background without any distracting objects and also create interaction between model and background.

I would maybe crop a little tighter at the right side to remove the van and corner of the platform, also remove the drainage cover on the wall.

as for color toning, it looked good to me, but personally i like warmer tones more so the background is looking a little too cold. You used a warm gel on the strobe?

Some shots from my most recent portraiture work, 5d2 is still an amazing camera despite the age.

Tamron 24-70mm f2.8

Nice Always loved low key portraits with single light, they just look a lot more interesting and mysterious.

i feel you, i personally liked shooting in studio as well but most of the time its either too costly or not practical enough

Post processing do help a lot

Used to have primes, but they dont fit how i shoot so i switched to zoom lens.

Go for Canon, STM is the best autofocus system for budget lenses.

Personally im quite skeptical with tamron these days due to their BS customer service.

DSC World is just terrible to deal with. I owned the Tamron 24-70mm, had the aperture unit failed so i went for replacement (according to internet research its just a small ribbon cable that got torn, but they insisted me to change to whole unit so rm500 was spent).

during collection of the repair, somehow they managed to screw up the auto focus, and the lens would randomly stop autofocusing and even turning the manual focusing ring does nothing. i only found out this problem right before i leave the service center, and after my complaint they promised to fix it. (the technician denied that he was the one at fault, and said that i must have had the camera on while taking the lens off thus screwing up the electronics. what a joke)

spent another few days without the lens (means i cant shoot at all since it's my only lens, i asked for replacement lens as its their fault for messing up and guess what. they simply said that they have 0 backup/ demo units available so there's nothing that they can do. what kind of BS is this? )

finally they told me it was fixed and ready for collection. i checked again for autofocus and aperture, both of them work nicely now, so i took it home and went back to perak.

i didn't realize that the lens is even more screwed up at this point until i shoot for my assignments, at most focal length, the lens is so out of alignment that the right half of the image will be out of focused all of the time. i had to live with it for a few months as it was too troublesome for me to travel back and forth and when i finally had the time to visit the service center, the technician put the blame on me and said i must have knocked it or caused some damage to the lens. i argued with them and they fixed it without any costs albeit stating that they replaced the back barrel assembly (pretty sure its BS since i never even once knock the lens or dropped it).

i owned around 5-10 lens before, be it brand new or used unit and none of them are this bad.

i used to be a fans of tamron products as their optics are really good, not anymore after this incident. i lost count of how many hours and the amount of petrol i wasted for such a simple fix.

take my words, avoid tamron products at all cost unless you know anyone other than the official service center that can do the repair.

just don't bother going to the so called "official service center" for any service/ repair work

it felt like older tamrons are more reliable. I used to own the 70-200 f2.8 first version, bought it used and used for 2 years+ before selling it, had 0 hiccups during my ownership period.
