New gadget for the month! The latest Aputure Amaran F7 LED light!



Product Link

Can adjust the lighting temperature from 3200K-9500K

You can also adjust the lighting power manually from 1-100%

Most people use it for video but I plan to use it for portraits at really shitty-lit areas where I want to have my subject's face to be lit up in my preferred temperature (use flash so mafan have to use gel and bounce like gila) in addition to my flashes from the sides and back

Gonna be using it this weekend so I'd prolly post up a short review and sample pics if they turn out nice
Also bought a 18" Meking ring light from Lazada last month, tested it out a few times and if anyone is interested I'll give a review for it too

from my experience it is useful but it cannot replace a proper flash in poor lighting in terms of lighting powah!
one thing i like about this led light is you get what you see meaning live view lighting unlike flash where you have to snap first then see what you get.
the bad is turn on time is more than a flash and battery drain fast. the F7 battery last 40min at max power if im not mistaken and believe me you tend to turn it on most of the time - we are photographers and photographers love light, lot and lots of light. 
also i have video light unlike flash.

anyway just my opinion, please share your experience. 

Finally managed to complete my trinity of primes!  Got my Oly 45mm f/1.8 today.

Agreed

True that is another area where smartphones will take away a whole chunk of compact cameras business. Sad as it is but that's what it is. Phone camera nowadays is so convenient and some can take pretty darn good photos. Technology rules!

true for canon also.
rumors flying around they the FF will come with dedicated adapters that will not degrade performance or like you said native mount.
we shall see.

it is not economically viable for them to launch a new line of mirrorless lenses tis late in the game.

Wow! Simply Wow!! The IS is amazing!

ambik video/gambar dekat swimming pool, mana awek awek bikini? mana? mana? 

Forward shooting is quite impressive but the sideway pans is.. ya, very robotic

Then make sure you don't pan with your wrist but turn with your body instead 

come i gib you all more GAS      (open spoiler at your own risk)

so last weekend I got myself a bigger drybox because my current one (20L lmao) can only fit like half of my gears til now..

Still not yet click. Strong poisons?

Ytd went to Olympus shop in Mid Valley check the 7-14 pro lens priced around 4.3k, may i know any nicer price i can find for this lens?

If go their shop might get even cheaper 

Noticed a lot of zuiko lens on sale 

but i had a bad habit, even i had that amount of money, i will still choose instalment so that i dont need to cash out so much at a time 

and KLDSLR need to have member to get the cheapest price

my camera backpack needs to take my water bottles, snacks, powerbanks, tripod, monopod, pampers, milk bottle, baby formula   

im using hiking backpacks too.
i find they are more comfortable and versatile for long outings but very few hiking backpack comes with a lot of compartments.

is the 45mm f1.8 good?
not a fan of the focal length though although i think it will be great for portraits.

if oly organize a portrait event incubus_skj gonna rage again. 

While the FF is getting smaller in the form of FF mirrorless, including their lenses, the mirrorless is journeying into the FF territory Lol

IMO still way lighter than actual FF lens

problem with olympus is some of their lens is already so sharp its really hard to improve them anymore.
the only way they can improve it is by making the lens bigger 

no thank you, ill stick with smaller systems thanks you very much.
