The lens has a button where you can switch IS on and off.

Unless you dont have the IS version of your stock kit lens..

18-55mm comes both in IS and non IS versions..

Edited by siddr20

Thats ok..

IS - just means Image Stabilizer.

Comes in handy sometimes :)

Im actually selling mine for 125 bucks. With hoya UV filter which cost me 40 bucks.

Let me know if you are keen :(

Well im leaving for europe this friday so gotta tell me quick hahah

Only bought it start of the year!!

Links like that second one - what's the colour version like?

Sorry mate, only just saw that, the colour wasn't quite as good - I tend to find the B/W has alot more depth..

Sidd, great photos.. I should get out there with the tripod..

ok, so i took the camera out last night and had a play around.

ISO 100, f8, 30 seconds

ISO 100, f4, 10 seconds

65zy5.jpg

ISO 800, f4, 5 seconds

67ih4.jpg

ISO 1600, f4, 5 seconds

68uv3.jpg

ISO 200, f4, 30 seconds

77zv5.jpg

ISO 400, f4, 30 seconds

78gb2.jpg

ISO 100, f8, 86 seconds!!!!!!!

ISO 100, f5, 39 seconds

so while f8 might be good in the city under a bridge that is really well lit, unless i plan on using 2 to 3 minute exposures, using a lower apeture works better.

also i told the missus about how you said people on the forums said that f8 was the sweet spot for shooting at night, and said that every lense has an 'ideal' apeture setting that isn't always the lowest or highest setting the lense can do, and she said that just because it is the 'sweet spot' as you say, doesn't mean that it will take the best picture at that setting in every situation. and she also made a comment about the fact that you were told that on a forum, and then proceeded to make a rather amusing comparison to how just because everyone on this forum says that if you wind a stock r33 turbo up to 15psi you won't make any more power, that this is actually the case.

*waits for some idiot (who has never tried it, and doesn't know anyone who has tried it and is just going off the info given by 100 other people who have also never tried it) to say that a stock r33 turbo won't make any more power at 15psi than it will at 12psi to prove her point.

LOL

ISO 100, f8, 30 seconds

yeah so that would be a good photo but you'd have to leave the lens open ALOT longer

in your case - (if your not that fussy about quality and dont wanna sit around for half an hour taking one photo) just use auto ISO and your set

ISO is basically just how sensitive the camera's sensor is to the light - so yeah - dont let us tell you want you cant/should do

haha yeah pretty crazy hey - Exposure time : 640 min (5min individual images)

(http://www.astronomie.be/hambsch/namibia06/startrails1.htm)

edit:

so yeah not really just one long exposure obviously - lots of 5mins ones put together but still cool

if you have time the GIF referenced at the top of that page is pretty cool

You'd damage the sensor in the camera if you did 640mins straight off the bat. CMOS sensors generate heat when they're exposed for long periods of time: side effects are 'dead' or 'hot' pixels on the sensor which can't be fixed unless you replace the sensor.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
