SEL 1018

Composition is crucial to capture the best snapshot especially when the subject is dynamic. Even when it is static, if the lighting and the environment is beyond your control, you will loose the best condition to make it great. Imagine if you have a wide angle, those condition above will kill your picture if you do not know how to compose the scene because the wideness of the  area that needs to be filled and composed. I have shot too many and failed 80% of the time when using wide angle. However,  the results of having a good if not great composition when using a wide angle is overwhelming.

Malaysian GE13 fever

I guess everyone here is talking about the Malaysian 13th General Election. Roads, bridges and junctures  are fill with banners and  flags. Everyone will soon exercise their one and only rights of casting vote to choose the Wiseman who will be their voice. So choose wisely.

CNY 2013 Fireworks in Kuching

As usual the fireworks in Kuching during Chinese New Year is extravaganza. I do not know how CNY atmosphere is somewhere else, but in Kuching the midnight hours is like a warzone.

This year the warzone starts late..probaby due to the rain. Because of the rain, my picture was not great either. By the time the warzone kick off, 15 mins later there was too much smoke to take clear pictures. Anyway, Happy CNY 2013 to all especially Kuchingites.

Nex5N + SEL1018

I cannot stand my itchy hand for this lens since I first saw it in our Sony centre. I guess I miss the Tokina, but not the weight and size. With this lens, I can have the ultra wide but not the other two bumps. I do not know how to comment on it's IQ, so you judge yourself. Actually I almost wanted to go for the sigma 19mm  but I guess you can call me greedy. Check out my sample image of the sel1018.



This is my favourite sel1018 advantage - I can put on the pen like tiny flexible tripod and still able to take this night shot.








This are some pictures taken using the SEL1018 in Strasbourg France. The NEX5N camera can operate in a sub zero of -5 Degrees (well at least my copy can)

How to clean dust on front element of a SEL50F18?

I have just done cleaning the front element of my SEL50F18. I do not know how this brown dust snug into my lens.

So, what you need to do is to remove the front black ring ( refer below picture item no.1). There's a simple double tape underneath it, so no need to worry on breaking any plastic.Then unscrew the three screw (no.2).  Then remove this ring (no.3).You'll find a simple soft black seal underneath this ring not secured by anything. After that unscrew another 3 screw (no.4) of the front element and walla, it's better to use a forceps to assist in removing the front element. Please remove this element with care. There are few tiny thin shim (check the last picture) underneath this element and it is easily displace, damage and tedious to rearrange.





The tiny shim under the first element.
