i own a adapter, telelens and PL n UV filter , lens hood
i have the adapter and UV filter fixed ( i dun take them out ...since i m using lowepro 200aw bag )
most of the time juz the adapter + UV
under the sun .. i change to PL lo ( plan to get hoya pro1D ... hopefully can perform better )

telelens ... seldom use .... onli tried once in stadium or some scenery pic ( coz hav to maintain at 2.0x or 2.5x zoom )

widelens ( dun plan to own 1 ... coz LX3 24mm, if ppl fill up the space ...most left n most right person will get 'grow' in size )....
mayb i dun like the edge to get distorted la ....hahahaha

Uzumaki, i affraid u didnt notice this, a msg from laichong this afternoon

sounds quite disappointing..am looking forward for flash gun too..

@venicelim
he's still waiting for Tumax's reply so there's still hope
Tumax is another brand which has the same product as Falcon Eye..

@nomoredfox ,

currently wat PL do u use?
Kenko? Hoya? which brand? does it has glare occured?

yeah, i've ym-ed with him on this. But theres tumax the step sister of falcon. As long as it works lol. If not i'll stuck with mecablitz flash. Hoping by Hari Raya already got a flash gun.

nomoredfox,
nice comparison pics, it does reduce the glare on the car hood. but i wonder will HOYA/Kenko reduce more? my supplier ask me want to get the HOYA CPL or not, still thinking as the price not cheap :S


Uzumaki NaruTo,
i just afraid i wont be able to bring the flash gun b4 raya. its kinda disappointed that Falcon is still practice old styling trading; nowadays online business is getting more popular and growing stronger, but yet they refuse to accept it. even my supplier also felt weird when they ask him dealing with them face to face rather than using email... funny huh~

=Hanxz=,
that ping pong ball diffuser is really usefull. but if u plan to put on an adapter, the flash will still blocked by the adapter and leave a shadow on the lower right corner of your photo.



as for the flash gun, i guess we all have to wait for reply from Tumax. alternatively, we may request our local Distributor of FalconEye to get the 386AFZ-O model, but of coz thats have to be a certain quantities.

im using my old flash gun from my previous Canon SLR now, although its manual but its fun when taking picture. No TTL, manual metering, manual adjust output power, u just have to keep on trying to get the correct exposure.

flash gun..most lx3 ppl aim for it.. ..so, will it possible the Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival @ 15-16 August 2009 (Mid Valley) have any promotion for the flash gun for lx3?

i dun think panasonic bring its flash during fair.....

wow..dun mention bout the pANASONIC flash gun..
it will surely cost u a lot $$$$$$$$

haha...ya...rm1k for the cheapest one by panasonic...

i think the 2 most feasible ones would be Metz and FalconEye/Tumax...

yup... ahha even u get olympus FL-36R , i believe they use same technology as panasonic ( or panasonic buy fr olympus )
also need around rm850

even it got bring to the fair, cheaper more rm200,i also cant afford to buy.

panasonic main focus is now promoting their GH1, LX3 doesnt seems much to be under the spot light anymore...

so, during the fair, u'll see more GH1 rather than LX3. not to say those gadget for LX3...

GH1 seems pretty expensive...lol..but the output is quite impressive..
