no more already
though you can always call and put in waiting list
who knows... got ppl cannot go

well, it is written as tele converter
so it is a tele converter
and from the looks at picture 1 - that looks like an A mount
same goes to pic 4... looks like A mount

well, if it is A mount, it can be used in sonly alpha, but you will lose autofocus using this, meaning you can only do manual focus and the settings is also in Manual mode

Tamron Teleplus MC7 2X TC
last i ask was RM420 at J-One in amcorp mall

UV filter is an one time investment to protect those expensive glass element.. recommended to get a good one if your lens are expensive

anyone bored... can go here today and tomorrow

as what he said, but first check what is the settings for your dial

Go to Menu, left button 3 times to enter system settings
See Ctrl dial setup
If it is at shutter speed, means in M mode it will change the shutter speed and vice versa

However, for me, usually I go with the lazy mode ... lazy to HOLD the AV button
Just Go Aperture Priority and set the aperture, then go M mode and choose the shutter speed I want

around RM60 to RM130, depending on the filter size
it is not the best but good enough

my hoya uv filter 55mm was from my panasonic fz3... now used on my kitlens... that uv filter around 4 years already

Edited:

If you have seen other people photo with such feature, this is because they use photo editing program like photoshop to mask them
do google masking in photoshop

shoot people, spot metering
shoot landspace, centre metering
rarely use multi

then you ask the many websites lo
no need ask here

why not?
exposure is controlled by shutter speed and aperture
you manually decide what settings you want


UNLESS... you mean exposure compensation
this only works when auto is required
shutter priority, you set the shutter speed, aperture is auto
aperture priority, you set the aperture, shutter speed is auto

if everything is in manual, means you already know what exposure you need, don't need to use exposure compensation

yes, you get AF confirmation when focus is right
using af confirm adapter gives you SSS as well

then take lrt to masjid jamek putra lrt
then walk from masjid jamek putra lrt to masjid jamek star lrt
lastly masjid jamek star lrt to titiwangsa star lrt


or just from subang KTM to KL sentral
then walk from KL sentral.. cross a street to go to monorail kl sentral
then monorail kl sentral to monorail titiwangsa


if you feet permits... you can walk a bit further by stopping at the Putra KTM Komuter station near The Mall, but I don't know whether does the KTM Subang goes direct or not


I'm going using the first way as above, minus the bus

the cheapest i saw people sold sal1870 was RM100

the main purpose of having 50mm F1.4 is not for the bokeh... aperture for low light photography
any lens can have nice bokeh, just the matter how you shoot only

so don't buy 50mm F1.4 just because you want blur blur background

best you shoot first rather than knowing so many terms
