I thought on wedding you might bring 2 set of 5600HS out? Cause I heard some photographers' flash spoilt during the shoot :sweat:

Quite surprise you don't use lens wider than 28mm in wedding also.

Bro, is this last pict shot using 500mm mirro len? surprise if it is, very nice.

 

[sulhan]

Hiee...

One classic feature of the STF that i realised is that, its t4.5 feature actually helped in behaving like a "circular gradual Neutral density filter" that helps in muting hot spots when the bright shopts is in the background. THis gives very pleasing effect especially for subject like flowers which have waxy shiny surface that tends to "glow" with bright light from the sun or flash. And don't forget its 1:4 macro ratio makes it handy for flower type of shots.

Yup ees..

its using the 500 Mirror. With some slight post processing to get rid of some circular spots bokeh. I was enlightened myself...

I mainly shoot available light, only use flash very very sparingly. So if the flash spoil then, I shoot with available light lor.

Yes, I don't shoot wide angle for wedding... just my style. I may shoot 10 pictures with WA and that is it.

28mm is wide enough..

And one more thing, the STF (when focused properly) seems to be even sharper than macro lenses... quite incredible...
