Prepare a dust blower. Get one if you don't, it's quite cheap.

Set your cam to cleaning mode, and the sensor should be flipped .Don't turn off the cam, and face it downwards so dust won't settle, and remove the lens. Then take the dust blower and spray some air into the innards of the cam. Careful not to touch the sensor. Then turn off the cam, and the sensor should be flipped back. Put your lens back on, and try testing

was browsing in midvalley today (haha sale season ma!) and dropped by some camera shops there.. goodness! the tamron 1750 2.8 i am saving up for was priced at 1999

online shops like yamiya/shashinki so much lower. know anywhere i can get for 16xx? prefer not to go online

thanks for the info! should be anytime soon.. heheh

I'll toss a wrench in for the sifu's to explain:

Is a Protector FIlter better indoors, while UV good for outdoors?

I see some friends of mine shooting indoors without a filter. Do filters affect image quality?

Been wondering for awhile

So a good UV filter will not affect image at all indoors?

I see... thanks!
