strange but true,,,,too many stuff and talk about FF, but here we talk abt S5, not so new cam and technology,,,,and seen increase number of users
for sure dis S5 is something worth be it the price now or the lovely color it gives
look like F.U.N going to expand more work for kopiOkaya and jacob

cheers

Which ever it is, i'll hold on the that D70... Its been good to me. So i'll be good to her.
Any tips on how to bring out the S5's potential?
I got lost in reading the manual...

The electronic will not work properly if you do not use often. Therefore, load the battery and turn it on for a few minutes once a while. Store it inside a Zip-Lock bag and then the dry-cabinet.

Thanks for the advise... I was told its also better to leave the batteries in a camera flash as well right? Anyway i'll be off to bed. Guess you'll be seeing more of me in here from now on
Once again thanks for the advise. Appreciate it...

What lens do you guys use? I'm confused about my walk about lens.
Both produce great pictures. Just that one has better range while the other is a F2.8
Nikon 18 - 70
Tokina 28 - 70 F2.8

 

[KopiOkaya]

What lens do you guys use?

I use mainly Cow Sai and Wok Lender lenses now. The only Neecon lenses I have left are 45 pancake, 28-105 macro, 58 NOCT, 105 f2.5 and 80-200 (two-touch).

Not true. I accidentally left the batteries in my previous Metz flash; they leaked and the contacts were corroded. In the end, I had to trash a perfectly good flash (it is too expensive to repair). :cry:

It is a good idea to power-up your flash once a while when it is not use often. But do remember to remove the batteries after that.

Damn that must have broke your heart....
I never got to try out a metz flash before. Heard their pretty good...
But usually see them used with canon...

Its becuase SB800 or 900 is more accurate than those in the White side... hehe
