its been quite a quiet weekend in this thread. maybe all quite busy with valentine day.........

mayday! mayday!

got a problem here, my sal50/1.4 got problem
the focusing ring stuck big time, need force to turn it off camera
when i mount it to body and af also didn't turn much, seem can turn only one way when i try to focus at different area

is the service centre at midvaley is the only service centre? coz i'm not in kl and don't know when will go to kl.

if i send the lens to somebody else for him to go service for me can arrr?

yup still under warranty, not yet 2 months. but my problem is i won't be going to kl in near future. do they have regional service centre, i'm in the east coast btw. can i ask somebody else to send it for me? they don't do house call ka? hahhaha

thanks to albnok n kysham

maybe i'll go to kl this coming school holiday to repair the lens......... KL here i come...............

i hope any new model with LV will have swiveling screen not just flippable screen, it will help a lot when shooting at ground level in potrait/vertical position.

maybe i'll send this suggestion to sony directly and wait for my free A800 (for my valuable input). .................wishful thinking, hahahah

i got these thru the internet, was killing time by searching for internet freebies and free samples.

i went to 3M us site and fill some details and they sent me these. the vikuiti they say can remove reflections and glare. the appropriate application are for lcd panel and other display appliances. wondering if i can use it as some sort of polariser for my alpha. no time to tinker now.... i'll update later about what i use these films for

iianm its www.3m.com/vikuiti

hi all.....

has anyone tried Time-Lapse Photography with Alpha? is it possible with our Alpha? what are the equipment needed?

time lapse photog is like u take a series of pics then string them together to make short clips. like u see the moving sky or sorts. do search at TiubAwak to see examples

i know the easiest way is to do it manually, where u snap the picture manually on ur own interval. but i'm wondering if there is any intervalometer for alpha or previously for minolta so that we can automate the whole picture taking process. iianm, to make a 10 seconds clips framed at 30 fps u'll required about 300 pics snapped. thats a lot of snapping to do manually and timed correctly
