Expose Yourself - CXXVI... Better and Brighter

[MGohzxc]

I sold off my fisheye lens and keep 3 macro lenses. :bsmilie:

4 stop can go for Hitech ND1.2.

But fisheye lens can be fun.

Oh.. where to buy this Hitech ND 1.2 ?

Ok if for macro, is the Canon 100mm Macro good enough for flowers ?

I think keeping the cash in your pocket is most useful and interesting. :bsmilie:

Ai ya... not I buy.. my Dad will buy...:bsmilie::bsmilie::bsmilie:

 

[MGohzxc]

macro is more useful, fisheye lens more "wow" and "boomz" (good for winning photo contests)

Hi auntie Zaren, thanks... no la.. not for photo contest... just thinking to do something different next year..

TK photo selling the filter.

For flower, 100mm is good.

 

[Leong23]

Since you are using 7D with 1.6x crop sensor.

100mm is equivent to 160mm in FF sensor, not far from the setup i'm using.

You are using a 160mm macro too ? Or the 200mm ?

Ai ya... not I buy.. my Dad will buy...:bsmilie::bsmilie::bsmilie:

So lucky!

In that case I also want a Dad. :bsmilie:

How do you find one?

 

[Leong23]

85mm using D700, which is a FF camera.

 

[MGohzxc]

You check with the randomers....:bsmilie::bsmilie:

Most of the time i'm using 200mm.

 

[MGohzxc]

85mm using D700, which is a FF camera.

Wa..nice.. so for 100mm and 1.6 crop, it would be more magnified right ?

 

[Sion]

You check with the randomers....:bsmilie::bsmilie:

They told me you can't choose Dad. Dad chooses you. :bsmilie:

 

[MGohzxc]

So your Dad is so random?

You must be lucky. :bsmilie:

Ai ya... of course I am lucky to have a dad like him... even he don't know about photography, he will buy for me if I really need it and use it. All he wants is good result in anything i learn.

Which will be more useful... fish eye lens or a macro.. both are interesting..

Oh... I need a 4 stop ND but LEE only have the 0.9 which is 3 stop. So how ha???

It depends on what you shoot.

I have a fisheye, it is hardly used, because I want to use it effectively.

But it is very useful for the times you manage to use it effectively.

Yes.

Magnification will be also depend on sensor size.

Why 4 stops?

I don't understand, you can just stop down one more stop with aperture most of the time... I think.

Hi uncle WK, thanks for the link... and thanks for the advise.

 

[Leong23]

My first camera setup, a SLR and a zoom also brought by my dad.

Also sign me up for a course to learn darkroom.

Yes that is correct which is one stop difference. What I mean is I have a 10 stop and does not have a 4 stop.
Nowadays the weather is so gloomy and raining and 10 stop is too long... a 4 stop would be useful or maybe 3 stop...
