Just wondering, if I attach a wide angle lens on my D5200 (crop sensor); can I achieve a full frame picture?
Which ever lens you attached to a crop sensor camera body, the angle of view will be narrower than a full frame sensor cam unless you use the metabones adapter....can't remember what is the name of the product and it may not have one for Nikon mount, for Sony if I'm not wrong.
Edit: have a look at this vidoeo

Re: Photography
no point fiddling over the things that you wan to buy. just learn to shoot first with watever that you have. once you have feel that watever equipment you have cannot achieve the shots that you wan, then you buy. I have seen too many beginners keep on buying stuff that they dont need or worse, have no idea on how to use. there's quite alot of experts here i believe can answer ur questions on achieving different shooting styles.
just my 2 cents.

totally agreed, was using the kit lens on my EM10 for 2 months until recently when got the 25mm.
had a friend asked me what other lens to buy when getting the EM10, as she was intended to buy everything one shot. just told her to use the kit lens first and only get additional lens when she has an idea what she likes to shoot, as there's no one size fits all and everyone have different affinity to the kind of shots they like, eg. landscape. street, architecture portrait, bokeh...etc...
i believe its more important to train the eye with limited resources, which would lead to greater creativity.
Re: Photography
To hisokaka & ckw,agreed with your comment and I'm contented with my current D5200 & Nikon 35mm f/1.8.
I use it whenever I on holiday trip for portrait & landscape shots; just love the DOF...:)

thats an excellent choice (35mm f1.8) for holiday shots. For APS-C format, it becomes 50mm FOV which is the normal view. For landscape, u can try to take a few shots and stitch them together. for portrait, its abit wide but still doable. its a perfect street shooting lens imo.

u referring to aperture i assume? coz the af speed is slow haha
yes, the 35mm is a cheap but extremely good lens. i even cheated and use it on full frame with minimal vignette

I think D5200 crop sensor can't achieve this but I think I need to move backward to have achieve your photo.

u mean the dof and fov? yes, there is no way to achieve the same unless u are mount a 23mm 1.2 on aps-c but thats pointless. u should be able to achieve great looking shots with 50mm fov. just practise practise and more practise.
Some shots of 50mm fov for ur inspirations

Wah poison...but if i spend on photography it would be on lenses. Come to think of it, I've been eyeing the Sigma 15mm fisheye lens for quite a while but afraid that it might not get used often.

Does anyone know whether compact cameras or olympus epl series cameras could be used in cold winter.
how cold is the cold winter??
Re: Photography
Went back to hotel, got a little condensation on lens.
Re: Photography
Re: Photography
Re: Photography
"ckw"
most cams should be ok as they are widely sold on Europe, unless its extreme. but Helsinki's temperature can go down to around -30 in winter from Dec-Feb, even lower in regions further North. bring extra batteries as they deplete faster in cold weather.
yup, lending her my EPL1 battery (if she buys the EPL3)
I recommended her to buy the EPL3 ($248 brand new!) against the Olympus and Fuji compact cams.

brought my cousin to Funan to buy a compact cam and then overheard the salesman telling another customer that the EM10 has got a free 45mm f1.8 lens! So, you guessed it, I bought the EM10, dont know will regret or not :shock: Re: Photography
yup...there's a promo during this 4 days of SITEX, that some retailers are also offering it. but i got mine a few months back without the 45mm, dubbed the girlfriend lens...sighits a very good camera, i have no regrets getting, in fact, so glad i did and loving it. its a fun camera to use. enjoy! :lol:

Good camera and good deal.
Re: Photography
ya, the cam seems to be easy to MF even at f1.2, really like the EVF. I think I bought the cam partly because I asked for the (external) EVF4 price, it cost about $400, might as well get a cam with a built in EVF. Thinking hard to rationalise my purchase :lol:

yup...the EVF is great, fast and shows whatever settings you made, e.g. b&w, sepia...etc. its good value for money, fast AF, top of the line image processor, IBIS...etc.
for the price, there's little to dislike.

Can share what price you paid for the EM10?
The price was $905. I didn't do any homework on the price but when i heard got free 45mm lens, i thought it must be a good deal. Free lens offer is over liao.

yup, its around there. but promo with free 45mm lens is only during SITEX over the last wkend.
the cash back promo price till end dec is till around this price, but without the free 45mm lens. there's also separate promo for 25mm & 45mm lens. check out Olympus SG website for the latest promotions.
