wanna ask opinion of the sal 16-105 f3.5-5.6 lens. How much does it cost on the street and how does it compare to the sigma 17-70 f2.8-4.5

I have about RM 1550 to spend on lens. hoping to replace my kitty.

i found it around RM1650 ...
Cam world Sgwang got stock ready ...
fast speed and zaloon need to order 2-3 weeks...

performance wise compare to sigma - let the sifu do the talking ...

sigh.. wish i have enough moolah to just get the cz 24-70 and end all the headache.

With only RM 1550-1600, i can only afford 1 lens. Not much room for error.

that one using LV...if OVF around 700+ can get....

CNY pic spam from my hometown....



C&C welcome

cj... very natural. nice ler.. 1st pic using wat lens?

u got many lenses..why dont u get external flash?

Love pic 4. The golden sky is gorgeous.

M42 lens.... 135mm f2.8


bot too many lens until no money to get flash....

wanna ask... those recently post photos are so sharp, it is creation after editing?

let go some of them la..ur pictures under la..need at least a unit of F58

dinraxxx: Canon FD lenses are not compatible with Sony Alpha bodies. The adapters will have glass and will cause a slight teleconverter effect and lose some light.

fas29, take a picture of the M42 lenses with the front part (so we can see what it says!) You probably do not need any more 'bokeh' lenses; I suspect that your dad's lenses are, from the short to tall one, 28mm F2.8, 55mm F1.4 and 135mm F2.8. Those were the standard ranges lah.

Also try to get the film body serviced; the lenses will seem more 'ngam' in focal lengths on a full-frame film body.

dinodino also sells the ISO to iISO hotshoe converter so you can use the HVL-F32X flash on the A200. But you'll have to shoot with manual flash power settings only.

ryzan76: Fuyoh original kamen rider!

nickilala: I originally started not liking flash at all, but the easier path is:

Body+kit -> flash -> get money shooting stuff -> get better lenses -> battery grip

A flash really brings back some cash. It also makes your kit lens seem sharper, because you can introduce directional light (which create texture and the appearance of sharpness) and use faster shutter speeds.

AlphaBeta: A flash is useful for strongly backlit subjects... in the sun.

iwan328i: Send for warranty. I doubt they sell the original battery charger unfortunately. And no, water damage is not covered; neither are leaking batteries (don't leave cheap batteries in your flash!)

vandechrome: LOL! I have had THREE 18-70mm kit lenses. First one had to sell, if not cannot sell the A100. Then I got the Sigma 17-35mm F2.8-4 EX. Then a second one passed through me for a day. And when the Sigma gear stripped, I was forced to get a quick backup.

I then had to sell my 3rd kit lens because the guy I was selling my A700 to, needed a kit lens to sell his A100 with!

marauderz: You'll need to press the * button on the 1000D to autofocus. It uses Contrast-Detect AF (using the image from the main sensor) instead of our fast Phase-Detect AF, which is using AF sensors below the mirror box. The other one you mention where the mirror goes down so it can direct light into the AF sensors is relatively quicker but still lags due to mirror movement.

No, Pentax doesn't AF in Live View. Only the Panasonic G1 can claim to such speeds in Contrast-Detect AF.

bysquashy: On the contrary, you probably cannot use a CPL on an ultra-wide angle lens because the angle of polarization is 90 degrees maximum and on lenses wider than that, an obvious irregular band of darkness and lightness will occur.

jimlim007: Ooo #2, #6 and #7!

cjlai, love #4!
