Review of: Olympus EPL-1 Sneak Preview

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

I’m now an official Olympus EPL-1 user. Proud of having this camera as it performs pretty well under low lights, indoor, outdoor shoots. I’ve tested EPL-1 features & functions, I must say it’s worthwhile having this camera.

Thanks to a seller from LowYat Forum that sells this demo set camera at a very good price. I grabbed it once I saw the posting on Lowyat forum.

Here are some sneak peak of my Olympus EPL-1 cameras. Photos below are taken with Olympus EP-1 with 35mm f1.7 cctv lens. Enjoy.

Sony SAL18250 Famous Sony Travel Lens by Gabriel Lai Photography | Malaysia Professional Photographers

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Finally, my all time dream lens is now sleeping in my camera bag. I have been wanting this SAL 18250 F3.5-6.5 lens since I started using Sony Alpha A200 a year ago. The best part about this lens is, it’s so much sharper than SAL1870 kit lens, in the range of 18-70 of course. Some of my test shots done at F10 were very beautiful. Loves the quality produces from the lens. Oh yes, I’m not going to use this lens, it’s either my brother ahmike or my dad will be using this travel lens. I still prefer my Minolta 28-85 F3.5-4.5 lens. Hehehe… Too bad, it’s not a Full Frame lens, but APS-C lens. Not bad any how.

Oh yes, I just grabbed this lens from George Wong, our previous Sony Product Manager for Alpha. Now he’s running his own photography training/workshop centre. He’s a nice guy and willing to share person. It’s my pleasure meeting him just now at Mamak store.. LOL!! Check him out at www.revven.me where he holds up photography workshops from time to time.
