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.

Cheers.

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.

sorry for my dirty table la.. this is where I shoot my Dinner of the Day! album.. hehehe

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.

Test shots were done with my Minolta 28-85mm F3.5-4.5 lens. Loves the color and results produces from Minolta lenses. I keeps old old lenses though. If you have any Minolta lenses wanna sell, let me know k? hahaa…..

Let’s check out what SAL18250mm F3.5-6.5 lens can do!!! Damm… I was shocked with the result. The below test pics were cropped and it’s still clear and sharp. Of course, enough lightings in photography is most important. Sifu Ted Adnan, master of lightings shares his skills at his blog often too.. Check him out!!

Sony SAL 18250 Sony Travel Lens | Gabriel Lai Malaysia Professional Photographers | strobist Testing shooting my Minolta 28-85mm. Since bought it over from one of the guy in forum, I didn’t have the chance to camwhore the lens la.. beside my brother already took off the virginity of the lens by camwhoring the lens when it reaches his hands la..

Overall, this lens is superb… no joke and no regrets of getting it! Thanks George for cleaning the SAL18250 lens for me too.. hehehe… next time Mamak on me again ya! Check George Wong out at www.revven.me and check out my brother ahmike photography blog too! Good night & S’lamat Hari Raya Haji!!

The Sony 70-200mm F2.8

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Few weeks back, I went to Pudu Plaza, and had the chance to test out the superb lens – Sony 70-200mm f2.8 G lens. No joke, this lens is super fast and comparing with Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 HSM lens, I still prefer the Sony one. But the price is damm too expensive for me to buy.. arrgghh!!!!
