Can someone quickly summarize the difference of @200 vs @300 (other than the Live View)?
diff - liveview & tilt/popup screen

Camera Pentax Asahi KM = Spotmatic? Lens = Takumar? Super Takumar? What focal length/aperture?

Sorry... I get a bit exited when people mention M42... brows.gif

And that white stuff should be either fungi (OMG FUNGUS BURN THE LENS... Kidding, just send it for cleaning) or haze (asso just send it for cleaning... Try Cheah Mutiara Complex Jln. Ipoh)... biggrin.gif

Heading to Bandung tomorrow... Here's hoping that a KM baby beer + Siggy 24/2.8 + Jup-9 85/2 would be enough for the trip... NOT bringing the kitty (that piece of plastic has been OFF my camera for... hmm... almost a year now?)... Although STILL debating whether or not to bring the Volna and the Jup-37A (which, I SERIOUSLY am thinking of selling off... 135/3.5 M42 lens anyone?)... biggrin.gif

Why a 35-70 + 24 + 85? Just like to limit my focal lengths for fun (PLUS I don't have money for a proper UWA OR the money for a Maxxum 7 FSLR that would make my 24 into a proper WA lens... cry.gif )... biggrin.gif
*
WOW... lotsa question to answer there.. LOLz... let me try to list all of it... with me now.. just came out of a box in a cabinet after like 10 years havent seen any lights...
1. Clubman MC Auto Zoom 1:4.5-5.5 f=80-200mm
2. Tokina-Special Auto 28mm 1:2.8
3. ASAHI OPT. CO., JAPAN SMC Pentax-M 1:3.5 135mm
4. ASAHI OPT. CO., JAPAN SMC Pentax 1:1.4/50

i think u can see la from the focal length n aperture from name. biggrin.gif so far i only dig this 4 lenses out.. dunno if still got others..
so... can i use the M42 adapter n fix it at my A300??? i know that AF is not-usable... n need a few f-stop down wasn't it...
if confirm can be use.. i wanna send for cleaning n grab myself a M42 icon_rolleyes.gif

dingenius3: Unfortunately, the Pentax KM is a K-mount camera, and so is the SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.7 in the picture. There are no K-mount to A-mount adapters as far as I know - if there was one, it would have glass inside to retain infinity focus, but it will lose light and increase the focal length.

More details here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentax_K1000

You should send it for cleaning and shoot film for fun anyway.
ouchies... the pentax camera body got some problem major problem.. thats why it has not seen lights for many years.. too bad... so i guess only Pentax DSLR can use it now.. maybe i'll just wait longer just if someone could design an adapter in the future.. tongue.gif


QUOTE(auhckw @ Dec 14 2008, 09:28 AM)
Buying things and comparing things is always not easy sad.gif

I'm stuck between

Sony @300 + Sony 18-250mm = around RM4k
  and
Nikon D90 + Kit lens = around RM4k too

If the body, Sony @300 vs Nikon D90, I think D90 wins based on reviews

But @300 wins in terms of price. For the same price of D90, I can get Sony 18-250mm too

So is like comparing,
a lower end camera with better zoom lens
  and
a higher end camera with normal zoom lens

My budget is around RM5k... Sleepless night thinking...
*
my noob-ish comment:
nikon lens for 18-200 = RM2.5k++
if u haf budget for 5k... get A700!!

well if u put that way...a300 got LV and HSS on its body...and i just found out that when using M in LV mode u can see the changes real time...
*
not only in M mode la.. A mode also can... S mode also can... it gives u some guidance of which stop u need to use.. if u wanna use flash.. what i learnt is..... LOWER IT BY 1 to 2 STOP.. can see a bit darker at LV.. but then when the flash fired out.. it cover back so the pictah not over-exposed la later nod.gif

not only that can be seen at LV... the white balance setting.. changing the Kelvin value is much much fun in LV instead of guessing the number coz can see how warm/cool the pictah gonnabe.. icon_rolleyes.gif

I was at the Curve, they said A700 no more stock
I have not tried D90 yet, but it was highly recommended by my friend. I plan to go try it out today. Hope can find demo unit at MidValley

haf fun hunting~
just reminding u.. u might need UV filter to protect ur lenses.. prices vary from brand.. i'm using Hoya..
i'm going to suggest u to get the A300 + twin kit lens + UV + CPL + Vertical Grip + 1 extra batt + sturdy tripod... wont cost u more than 5k.. since u targeting a travel lens 18-250... which is still in my wishlist to have... cant really says much on the price.. but its good to get it when u buying in bulk with the whole package.. they might sell u cheaper.... just 1 thing... get the accessories at other shop.. coz some sell them at even half price.. biggrin.gif

thanks...ooh so the camera is made to be like that. I tot that the metering should be locked based on the AF too. I know what is AEL, thanks...

I know that recomposing with Spot AF is not good idea as it may lead to OOF but sometimes the 9 local points just isnt sufficient when i want my subject to be really on the edge of the pic....

Besides,  i use Spot AF is because it will be easier to non-dslr user to capture pic for me:)

ooooooooooooooo
....aaaaaaaaa aa
......mmm mmm

I have one more question, as illustrated above, there are 4 rows of ppl (o,a,m and d)...if i were to shoot this type of group pic, where should i lock my AF? Infinity? What i usually do is lock AF on d and increase the DOF to either f/6 or more...is this correct?
*
many people.. must use WIDE rite??but if they on the same row.. shouldn't they still be in focus??
now after zeissmike teach me about using LOCAL.. i'm having fun with it now.. thumbup.gif

Hey guys, if im going to take a group photo ( lets say 30 people ) all lined up in four rows. What setting should i put to ensure every detail in the photo is retained? Is it just setting the F value higher only?
could i suggest around F8-F11 ??
