We are looking for our very first face to face engagement with the masses in Penang BarCamp 2011 which will be held on this Saturday (12 May 2011) in KDU College Penang.
We are going to present a topic in the event. Talk, Shoot and Share. Everything About DSLR would be our title for this time.
If you are around Penang at that time, join us in the fun with hundreds other discussing topics of your interest. To know more about BarCamp, please read this.
The Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D ED Lens is a fast telephoto zoom lens, ideal for indoor sports photography and photojournalism in dim light. It incorporates Autofocus (AF) and Internal Focusing (IF) technology and ED glass for sharp pictures.
Note! AF not supported by D40, D60, D3000, D3100 & D5000 cameras
- Superb Telephoto-zoom lens for sports and nature photography.
- It has 3 Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for high resolution and high contrast even at maximum apertures.
- Maintains fast f/2.8 aperture throughout zoom range.
Super Multi Coating reduces flare and ghosting that tends to occur when using digital SLR cameras.
Optimized optical design for digital SLR cameras.
Sigma launched first standard 50mm Macro lens in 1990. This was succeeded by the 50mm F2.8 EX Macro in 1998 which proved even more popular with photographers, benefiting from improved build and optical quality.
The advent of digital SLR’s requires optimum lens performance and therefore the very latest optical technology has been incorporated in the production of the New Macro 50mm F2.8 EX DG. This ideal standard lens sets the benchmark for digital SLR cameras.
Macro lenses require a high imaging performance for photographing objects with digital SLR cameras.
The new advanced lens design corrects various aberrations. This macro lens is specially coated to get the best color balance whilst cutting down ghost caused by reflections from the digital image sensor. This lens provides the utmost correction against lateral chromatic aberration which is a serious problem for digital SLR cameras.

The Leica 21mm f/1.4 Summilux-M Aspherical Lens is a super-wide angle lens designed for high-speed performance. Its bright f/1.4 aperture allows for an extremely shallow depth of field (DOF), and at a medium f/stop, the focal range is so great that entire scenes can be reproduced sharply. Because of its floating element design, the very high resolution is retained even in the close-up range.
The lens makes highly dramatic effects possible, like monumental foregrounds, strongly receding backgrounds and a wide horizon. With this lens, focusing and metering are performed by looking through the camera’s viewfinder, while the actual framing is checked with an accessory viewfinder that mounts in the camera’s hot-shoe.
This lens features “6-bit” coding, which allows the digital M camera to read this information optically and to identify which lens is being used. The camera can then (optionally) apply a “final stage” software based vignetting correction (for RAW images the lens used is simply recorded, no change is made).

The Leica 18mm f/3.8 Super-Elmar-M Aspherical Lens works with any Leica M-mount cameras, providing a field of view equivalent to a 24mm lens in the 35mm format when used upon the M8 digital rangefinder.
A highly refined effort to say the least, this lens takes advantage of the M system’s absence of a mirror box to achieve wide angle performance which any SLR lens would need to envy. The last element of glass (closest to the film or sensor) goes deep into the body of the M camera, and this gives the Super-Elmar-M the pinnacle of resolution and distortion correction (please note that this does increase the vignetting).
Being an 18mm focal length and f/3.8 maximum aperture, the Super-Elmar-M always provides a broad depth of field, making it a practical tool for speedy close-up snapshots as well as for sweeping architectural and landscape vistas. Even shooting wide open it can give uniform sharpness from ~4′ to infinity, and stopping down the aperture only further increases this capacity. Upon analogue Leica cameras the 18mm f/3.8 Super-Elmar-M provides a 90° horizontal viewing angle, and with the M8 you’ll get a 74° horizontal view.
