Yes, it comes with a nice pouch.

Ya bro, how r u doing? Me always absent from the thread..... But pop my head in here once in a while.

One SPAM shot.... just to end the night *yawn*


I shot this set prior to boarding the boat for the swimsuit photoshoot, which unfortunately I'm not allowed to upload / publish. Copyright isues...

Shot using the A700 & Sigma 70-200 f2.8. More on my flickr site.

*yawn* good night guys.

There is a minimum distance where your lens can focus. This is called the Minimum Focus Distance (MFD) and is a physical limitation of the lens. So if your object is nearer than the MFD, then obviously you will not be able to get a focus lock, hence unable to take the picture. The reason why if you do not have a focus lock then you cannot take a picture is because this was set as a default setting in your camera. You might be able to disable this in the menu system (I'm not sure because I don't have an A350). Hope that helps explain things a little bit to you.

Went to the M.A.C. + Hello Kitty Cosmetic Range launching ceremony in 1Borneo. Invited as photographer. Some shots:

Thanks, nickilala. By the way, the first shot was done using Sony's wireless flash system. One Sony HVL-F58AM position at the 12 o'clock position, pointing downwards (to minimize the reflections on the cardboard), fired wirelessly, using TTL mode and flash compensation was set at +0.7ev.

woooo..... SAL50F14! Nice lens, ryzan!

For some reason, I support your view. I myself also cannot get around to convincing myself that I need the A900. The only thing that I really loved about the A900 is the HUGE viewfinder. That really kicks me in the arse and said BUY ME! But other than that... I really can't see why I need the A900....

achew = poison!

*ehem, ehem* think i will go with the 70300G then.... *hehehe*

UWA...... UWA....... UWA........

Night shots? Weeee.......


This was shot with my former A100 & SAL1870 kitlens.
Exif: A100 + SAL1870. Focal length: 55mm, ISO: 80, Exposure: 25 seconds, Aperture: f10.0

KK mah.....

(by the way, KK is Kota Kinabalu ya... not Kuala Kangasr! )

Skills have to go hand in hand with Equipment. That's what vikingw2k is trying to say. Skills will include creativity. You cannot make good photos with only one component. Well... that was vikingw2k's theory lah. There is a certain element of truth in that, but I do not agree 100% with that theory. But, well... that is a different argument all together lah. Not wishing to go into that....

woot?!?! the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 HSM price had gone up??? Last time I got mine for RM3000 only.... Malaysia Ringgit weak liao. Nice lens. But like albnok said, it is somewhat soft at the long end, wide open. But other than that, it is pretty good. AF is smooth & quiet. Not sure if it is faster than the tammy.

achew... if you shut off the front flash (i.e. your pop-up flash), then you will not get to fire your remote flash wirelessly lor... you need to set your shutter speed to above the sync speed (called High Speed Sync - HSS) so that the built in pop-up flash's light will not be apparent in your final photo.

Proboscis Monkey? We have a good population of them here in KK's Lok Kawi Wildlife Park.
