Hello! I just got back from Europe after a 1 year stay in Munich. Done quite some extensive traveling too. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

PnS Go and enjoy yourself with your wife. Rushing to take photographs and not having time to find the best angles is really annoying and can get you into a bad mood really fast, not counting the fact you have to carry several kg of stuff around, most probably the whole day too...

Stepping rings seems to be in very short supply in Singapore. I'd suggest getting off ebay or amazon. Otherwise, 2 stepping rings for a CPL shouldn't harm IQ too much.

I'm still doing my exchange in germany now. It's been 8 months so far, and i've been around abit. Germany, France, England, Norway, Sweden, Czeck republic, italy, greece, spain, slovenia, croatia. and will be going to other countries in the next few months. So far i had no issues with...

You might want to bring a GND. From my experience, bringing DSLR for skii trips is overkill. compacts are much better. Evenings tends to end with drunken stupor and it's not the wisest choice to have expensive optical equipment around. Ultimately there are lots of factors to determine if you...

11-16 /2.8 35-70 /2.8 been serving me well in europe.

Wot he said.

stepping rings are metal rings with an inner thread and external thread. like 67mm to 77mm. u screw the 67 mm onto your lens and the 77mm CPL onto the 77mm thread on the external side. Stepping rings can be step up (as above) or step down. Yeah i recommend getting a 77mm cpl and...

I'd recommend the D90 as well, Ergonomically (omg spelling), the D90 is fantastic. From the command dials, to the buttons to the LCD screen, it makes shooting so much more enjoyable and easier. U need to go down to the shop and experience it firsthand. Changing ISO, F stop, shutter speed...

Go for the D90. The button layout, the twin dials. 11 af points internal AF motor. 3inch LCD screen. LCD status on the top. It's much much nuch much more comfortable to use.

500-700 for a macro lens + tripod is kinda tight. A resonable tripod will come up to almost 200. Good ones will be from 400-1200. Macro lens itself is expensive. Reynox or extension tubes might be a better choice if you're tight on budget. Generally, tamron 90 is the best bang for buck...

why do i want to have 8fps anyway? It can probably sucker in new people, but 8fps is almost beyond the use of hobbiest. pure epeen booster. My 2cents which will offend many i believe.

I don't really know what you mean by bad photographs, it's hard to give comments on how to improve it. But basically, before you snap off each shot, just run through the basics again. posture, breathing, settings and composition. then shoot. This way, you increase the latency between each...

Ah i think i was abit late to reply here. Macro + Live view = bad combination. lol. The whole swivel LCD thing is such a sales gimmick =X But enjoy you sony and keep on learning.

UV filters are usually used as protection for the front glass element of your lens. Think of it as a "spare" lens cap thats always on, and you can take photos through it. That sounds like a pretty good deal doesn't it? Protection against scratches, finger prints, jumping frogs, and kids...
