- My α Journey: What I Use My Camera For
With my Sony Alpha A200 DSLR camera, I now snap a lot more photos compared to when I had a digital point and shoot camera. The A200 feels so much easier when taking photos because of the speed it has and also due to the fact that it offers better lens choices.
So what do I [...]
- My α Journey: Hujan at Ruums
I was attending the Levi’s Live Unbuttoned Event held at Ruums where Hujan was one of the bands in the band list. I brought along my Sony A200 together with my Minolta 50mm and my SAL1780 kit lens to capture some photos.
No prizes for guessing, the venue was filled up with Hujan fans. I was [...]
- My α Journey continues with a Beercan (70-210mm/f4)
This lens is long! It becomes even longer after you attach the hood. At this length, it looks like a telescope and it makes you feel that the zoom length is more than the actual 210mm.
After attaching the lens (up to you if you want to attach the hood), you wil have to hold your [...]
- My α Journey: Servicing Lenses
Finally I was able to collect the lenses from Albert Cheah of Cheah Camera Repair. It was fast as well. He managed to service 2 of the lenses in 1 week. Not that i was rushing, but I couldn’t collect it if he finished servicing them faster as I work 9-6 jobs and he closes [...]
- My α Journey: Found Some Old Minolta Lenses
My friend who just bought the Sony Alpha A300 managed to find a couple of lenses from his dad’s old camera bag. In the bag, we found a Yashica SLR, a Minolta SLR with a 35-70mm/f4 attached to it, some external flash guns, and behold, we found a big Minolta lens pouch.
What was inside shocked [...]
- My α Journey: My Friend’s Sony Alpha A300
Well, after a month I bought my Sony Alpha A200 (original post here: http://alpha.lifeinkl.com/2008/10/my-%ce%b1-journey-the-purchase/), Sony reduced the prices of the Alpha range by about RM300 for each model. It didn’t affect me that much as I got my A200 at a very reduced price. Anyway, after the price reduction, my friend who was initially interested [...]
- My α Journey: My First Lens (Minolta 50mm/f1.7)
I have been using the Sony Alpha A200 with the kit lens (SAL1870, 3.5-5.6/18-70) for the past 2 months and it did prove to be very useful, especially with the extended 70mm range (instead of the usual 50mm range on other kit lens). The only major gripe with the lens is that the f3.5 only [...]
- My α Journey Starts Here
After much procrastinating, I finally made my decision to purchase the Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 camera. Actually, I wanted to buy a digital SLR (single lens reflex, more info at Wikipedia) camera when the Canon EOS350D was released (kinda the first ‘affordable’ prosumer digital SLRs in the market at that time) but somehow the decision slipped.
