But why step down when it's 58mm for the S5? I'm not so sure abt the S3 though.
becos my fren is selling is B+W wide lens 52mm for $50 to me...
any comments abt this lens?
hmm if it will vignetting.. den I better dun get it...
this afternoon went to ms color..
but then I also played ard wif nikon p80...
now undecided whether p80 or S5.
I do like the S5... only that for wide angle, I need an adaptor and wide lens.
p80 is also lighter and with 18x zoom...
:think:
Not sure cos never tried.
U mean filter instead as B+W does not manufacture lenses. I'm using B+W MRC UV Haze on all my L lenses and they're very gd!
By the way, don't triple post on the same reply, kindly remove the other 2.
sorie abt the triple post..
was having some server errors just now...
haha think my conversation wif my fren over the msn abt filters, adapters and wide lens got mixed up...
think he meant the filters are B+W..
tomorrow miting him and confirm what's the brand for the wide lens.
thx for the info!

Hi oriki, I had very bad experience using a 52mm WA lens. Most of my pictures had serious vignetting that I really thot tat it was because i did not have the right skill to shoot nice pictures that's why those pictures appeared this way.
At the time of purchase (FEB), I didn't really know what was the measurements so I just said give me one that would fit my camera and he gave me a 52mm..
Only recently before I went to Shanghai, I read from a post by snoweagle that it downsizing from 58mm to 52mm would degrade / cause serious vignetting. after which, I immediately brought my adapter and WA lens back to where I bought it from and got it changed (MAY) with no question asked.
tried and tested. 52mm will cause serious vignetting.. that's why i changed to 58mm.

is there a site which lists what accessories i can buy?
i want to get additional lenses and stuff but i dont know what S5 allows us to have.
adaptor and all what ar?
btw i wanna ask when at night you wanna shoot people standing infront of a background( esp esplanade) how to capture both faces and background well?
i think use flash right but the face will lit up then the background turns pitch black. is there such a technique?

Originally the S5 is supposed to use 58mm filter from the adapter, dunno why some would want to step down.
it's called fill flash. May be masked as a night portrait mode.
eloo ppl...
today bought my S5 liao hehe
was tempted to get the P80..
neway went to orient to try get some filters, they dun have 58mm, no stock.
but they do have 58mm adapter.
now using my buddy's 52mm adapter, UV and polariser filters.
it does show vignetting.
guess I wun be getting 58mm adapter and wun be getting his B+W filter hehe
thx folks for the replies!

wheres the fill flash function? is there any comprehensive site for this? hehe
There's no such thing as a fill-flash function, it's basically activating your flash to add light to your subject to balance the exposure between your subject and the background. The fill-flash technique is expecially useful in backlit conditions.
Yep. But some of the compact cameras I have seen it as a night portrait, where they will either curtain flash the subject before or after the exposure period to light up the subject.
But filling flash and night portraits are totally different things altogether.
oh that means cant buy raynox lor... coz 52 mmm only... so ? now where to buy -out of stock ? Me wish to buy wide angle lens ...for scenery photos when travelling...can help me out ?
