wat camera r u guys using for nice macro shots

[alanseah]

the 2:1 macro lens that's expensive meh...

weileng u can afford such an ex skimmer cant buy the macro lens....

[weileong]

You think I print $$$? Need to budget properly.

Even w/o macro mode I already very happy with my photos

For the lens can try to look for 2nd hands one. No hurry can take my own sweet time!

My skimmer is not really that $$$$ after considering that it came with 2 MD55 for $1.7K which means is actually $1.3K+

[alanseah]

lolz...

o ya i know roidan the one printing money looking at how he spend on his tank... wow...

skimmer $1.3k dont stop there dont forget money elect bill for the skimmer... hehehehe

[weileong]

250W 24/7 = $30 with some spare change for kopi

I know liao you're the one that's printing $$$ lol, trying to divert attention huh?

[roidan]

wah liew alan..

i where got print money...if i print money,

maybe some lfs will know and tell you

but no, i dun print money,

and most lfs do not know who i am...

just buy what i want and leave,

i dun chit chat too much with them

till now i do not have a concrete figure how much i have spent...

so i have no absolute figure to go around telling people how much..

sure make me heartpain if i start to count the dollars and cents

back to the camera,

if i really print money, i will buy the D70 with all the full range of lenses and bring them around in a aluminium/steel hard case like a professional sniper...

[weileong]

Wow Bro Roidan steady one... All action no NATO one NATO too much is no good!

[alanseah]

no la.. if me print money.. u ppls where got chance to even buy gary sps sales.... lolz....

roidan dont need to count la.. by the look your whole tank plus that clam tank cost u more then 10k lor...

just by counting how many clams u have already know how ex it is and let say one clam cost u 60 to 100...

[weileong]

If I print $$$ I buy all his SPS liao, still wait for others? I only got money to buy old brown out SPS hor.

You should go find the person who claim have spend $30K

Look this those $10K one for what? No kick one man.

[roidan]

NATO?

means No action-Talk only?

hahaha... ok i get

anyway, if you notice,

alot of real money-printers and reefmasters dun talk so much in here one....

those making a lot of noise, posting alot but yet not much pictures are just empty vessels...just like me...*guilty*...i am a big fat vessel

tat's why i talk so much in this thead,

only got a non DSLR....

those with DSLR more quiet....even weileong din say he got D70 until i arrow him out

anyway alan,

my clams have been cashed in bulk for me to buy my f828 and finance my megaskimmer project....see? i really dun print money

[weileong]

You take a kettle filled with water and knock and hear the sound.

Then you take a kettle that is empty and knock and hear the sound

Which one makes more noise har?

Hey Roidan, your camera tot non-DSLR but already top of the line hor, so tekong..... the lines on the blackcap fish scale also can see one

[alanseah]

lolz... yup sometime back i did saw someone claim he have spend over 30k who huh... hehehehe

and i know there r some who use the full auto system one.. also rich sia...

and let see who is the 1st buyer of the bubble king.. another rich man..

[weileong]

Dunno where the $30K goes lei maybe same fish have to buy 1000 tmes then $30K liao lor

Don't ke ke hor!!! You're getting it right?

Wow when you going to fire up and invite us to foam party ?

[roidan]

alan:

that's why i say the real money-printers all lie low profile one...

according to rumours, someone bought a FEW small bubbleking skimmers because a large one cannot fit into his sump....

so end up buying a FEW small bubblekings...

how much in total....can just imagine

these are the real bigshots....

people like me are just farting around in here

[alanseah]

lolz.. if me getting the bubble king.. then I will be mad or dam rich...

it's a gd skimmer but looking at the price I can go buy another gd chiller...

or when another ship of sps come in I can buy the whole lot with that kind of money...

[roidan]

ok lah...enough fun digressing

let's return to talk about cameras for hamann and other bros who need such info

[weileong]

I heard someone bought 3 dragon too don't tell me that's the same person that bought the bubble king? Oh dear... heng that guy is low profile else if if he announce how much he spend maybe more than $100K..... then suddenly you'll hear got rumours that another person spend $200K on the tank liao

[roidan]

maybe we can start a list of reefers using what cameras to shoot their reef

1) Roidan (Sony F828)

2) Weileong (Nikon D70)

3) Deepblue (Canon G5)

4) Vinoth (Canon G5)

5) mv3i (Canon EOS300D)

6)

7)

8)

9)

[alanseah]

ok back to topic...

bro hamann, if u really got the budget go for DSLR cam.. u wont reget one.... and dont need to keep upgrading cam...

[weileong]

The Canon 300D seems to be quite good price. I am not sure if the promotion that comes with the 300mm zoom lens is still on or not.

[hamannbmw]

taken some pics on my tank thread using canon G2, the macro doesnt seems fantastic leh.. maybe i dunno how to use, jus aim n FIRE... , if u look at my thread, some pics are blur really gotta read up more on camera tricks

[hamannbmw]

Deepblue is using Canon G5, i think the function is almost the same as G2 right ... why his pics so nice one..... , becos he had a nice tank

[weileong]

Sometimes it's not the camera but the photographer

[aong]

anyone using cannon rebel here ??

Wat macro lenses r u guys using for it ??

thanks

Yeap, I'm using Tamron SP 90mm f2.8 for my 300d.

Pretty alright... except that... well, the fishes are too fast for me!

[weileong]

how's the performance of the tamron 90mm lens?

[aong]

Good enough for amateurs like me ;p

Usually push ISO all the way up to 400 or even 800 and use F5.6 at least.. (F2.8 is too shallow) ((

slow autofocus... as usual, but it's okie for macros, imho,

sharpness and colors.. well, good for me can leow ;P

most impt is it's CHEAP!! :$
