  • Replied in ice cream
    agree that 1/50 was pushing it for sure.  but I had my elbow propped up on my knee, so I thought it might be OK.  I think it was more subject motion.  Either way, it was hard to judge critically...
  • Replied in ice cream
    Not saying softness was lens's fault.  Could have been camera shake or motion blur.  I've gotten other shots more recently that were much sharper in better light.  But for me, this (eating ice...
  • Created discussion ice cream
    First outing with the 45.  Not as sharp as I'd have liked, but... This was his first cone too :)  He crushed it while daddy was preoccupied with the camera. crappy fluorescente lighting wasn't...
  • Created discussion buy.com deals
    Yesterday I got an ex2f for $229 plus 5% points-back (I wonder if the Adorama thing last week was really a "mistake" -- obviously Samsung is giving the vendors some big breaks).  Today it's back up...
  • This is reference to the optical trigger.  My YN-560 fires fine in S2 mode when the SEF-8a fires on my NX200.  The SEF-8a will contribute to the exposure, so I usually set it at -3EV.  There is no...
  • Replied in Flash for NX
    general consensus is that Samsung flashes ARE rebadged sunpak's.   Apparently Metz has recently started making the 44 in Samsung NX flavor (see some recent threads in this forum). If you don't need...
  • wow

  • Created discussion 45mm: some thoughts
    Just got my 45mm.  Some photos to follow.  Thoughts: with firmware 1.03 on NX200, it was initially greenish.  Update to 1.11 fixes that. Much much much faster than 30mm to focus (but haven't tried...
  • Nice!  Link?  Release date?  I used to whine about limited TTL options, but I've found that I don't need TTL so much with my YN-560, since I'm usually bouncing it off the ceiling and subject...
  • My thoughts on the 50-200 is that if I wanted to shoot that long, I'd get a camera with a smaller sensor like a Nikon1.  I have the 16mm, the 30mm, the 20-50 and the 18-55.  The 30mm is on almost...
  • The more I think about it, the more Eric's previous suggestion of a Fuji X-Pro-like zoom (f/2.0-f/4.0) would make much more sense for the NX system.  You gain about 1 stop at all focal lengths.  If...
  • Love the boat!  Nice tasteful PP on all.
  • Created discussion xz-2 vs rx100
    I've currently got a CSC (NX200) and an S95.  On short trips, I take the S95.  It's super lightweight and I get great landscape and macro shots.  But DOF is too wide for group/family shots (to my...
  • Replied in auto-lenscap?
    right... but I guess I should have said that there could be more substantial junk in my pocket in addition to the dust (keys, etc).
  • Created question auto-lenscap?
    Hi all, Maybe this is a stupid question, but I couldn't find the answer online.  The "luxury compacts" (LX-5/7, XZ-1/2, EX1/2) have 3rd party "auto-lenscaps" that are pushed open by the zoom lens...
  • you usually can't get a leather CASE for under 80 bucks -- and you got the CAMERA AND the case for 80 bucks ;)
  • also, need to make sure you have enough space to get your shot with an 85.  I imagine you'd be with your back up against the wall quite often.  The 50 is already awfully long for casual "living...
  • Like Eric said: Lots of people on this forum use MF 50mm lenses for portrait.  I love my Minolta 50 1.7 (plain MD not Rokkor).  Still looking forward to the NX 45mm for portability, but the MD will...
  • Replied in NX20 + Pinhole
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_camera#Selection_of_pinhole_size long live the interweb
  • Created discussion 45mm expected availability
    B&H just removed the "expected availability March 23" from their website :( FYI
