how were you able to catch a picture of this? thanks

I don't have any pictures I can think of on top of my head, but at long as you put the horizon of the image in the center of the image, whether in vertical or horizontal position, the image will...

True, but SEL24F18Z matches fine with the SEL50F18. There's supposed to be a telephoto prime coming out from sony later this yr (rumor said it's SEL85F18). looking at all the support I guess Sigma...

It be much more interesting of a lens if it had macro abilities, even if only 1:2. The Sony 50mm costs only an additional $40 USD, and has f/1.8 & OSS. Sony 50mm is also a good performer, and even...

Fisheye is good practice for composition, and rewarding when you get it right. I wouldn't recommend it as a first lens, but the Samyang definitely deserves a position in every NEX shooters' camera...

it's sort of hard to tell which twig or leaf (or the bird) was the point of focus, so I suggest maybe doing a quick test on some objects at home if you want to verify your conclusion with your...

maybe show the original non-cropped picture of the birds so we can tell if it was some other part of the photo that was in focus? http://www.flickr.com/photos/kevinwlyu/

wow, thanks! I am humbled.

Thanks! it's always a tough call between trying to preserve details or putting emphasis on the subject

Why some people carry f/2.8 dumbbell zooms & still take crappy pictures, I have no idea too!

while other manufacturers usually roll out 55-200mm f/4-5.6, this fuji zoom is actually considered fast...

I go back & forth between f/2~4 or even 5.6 at times but I also had to help out with measuring the vitals as the team was shorthanded, and thus may have forgot to change the settings when taking a...

Thanks! I was using SEL24F18Z & SEL50F18

A few friends held a health fair for the kids at a local elementary school, measuring height & weight, blood pressure, & blood sugar levels for them. Just like to share a few moments of their hard...

Placed 72^nd in the challenge.

Thanks for the advice! I'm not a pro, nor is my set up a pro one; I was there to have fun as well and just catch a couple snapshots for my buddies who spent their time & effort making a great...

handheld with flash, flash set to rear sync. I was surprised at the shutter speeds as well! Although the LCD was almost pitch black when I was taking the shots...

I respect your opinion, and would like to ask what you think I can do better on, thanks!

no cropping at all, straight out of camera jpegs for the most part. shot at f/2.8 too!

A couple of my friends held & DJed a party the other day at a pretty large venue, and asked me to be the photographer. I wanted to pack light so had my NEX-5R + SEL16F28 in one pocket, and the...

I own the Maxxum 135mm f/2.8, and is a very capable lens once adapted via LA-EA2 - full autofocus and aperture control. The Maxxum 50mm f/1.4 should also be a solid performer. If you don't want...
