all sifus,

i have 2 questions here which i really need ur oppinions.

1) i have plans to buy a 50mm lens.. so i have looked around and found the SONY 50mm F1.4 n it costs RM1050.00. n someone suggested the Minolta 50mm F1.7 which is of a much lesser price RM500. i am not a professional photographer but photography has been my passion ever since i was small. Its my hobby actually.
so can anyone tell me exactly what is the difference between the 2 lenses other than the price range.

2) i have few lenses here and i don't really know why i bought it too... hahaha..maybe i was too excited playing with the lenses.. so can u suggest which lens should i let go to get a better lens.
my lenses:
a. the standard SONY SAL 18-70
b. tamron AF 55-200mm AF 1:4-5.6 Macro (my fav)
c. SIGMA 105mm 1:2.8D DG Macro
d. SONY 75-300 4.5-5.6
e. minolta AF Lens 28mm (i bought it from a lyn forumer few months back)

currently im using A700.

Thanks

Guys ,
hv very important question here (at least for me .. hehe)
Does A700's good high ISO 1600 control and DRO level 5 are that good ? Compare to A300/350 , Worth upgrade for ?

1.4 the bokeh is much better than 1.7 if not mistaken.

since you already have tamron 55-200mm why dont you sell your kitlens?

go get a900

hehe , i'm not up to tht level yet la bro !

ISO is definitely better on the a700. A300/350 ISO are only usable until 800..whereas a700 1600 and maybe 3200.

1)
F1.4 obviously can produce diff/better defocus/bokeh effect on ur photos...sharpness wise..i can only say SAL 50mm is quite sharp..not sure about minolta since i got no chance to touch it...perhaps newer coating helps??

2)
u got to define ur photography style first...what u usually shoot?

interesting, any idea why 6 flashes, all 6 flashes being used at the same time ? I have seen Andrew Boey using 6 flashes to light up 3 models. This is 1 model.

bro, i thought d300 has 51 AF points instead?

btw,
your a900 looks like it has been through battle.

lol....i am planning to change too...

i can read your mind...

err..i think he is a lil over that phase..haha...

yea...you're right...

wowee....i might join spooky soon...

yup, all of them used at the same time
because we have a lot of flash at that time, why dont we utilize them..

When's your turn?

I know, it's too hard to resist especially when you look at the price vs spec comparison.

Another one got poisoned.

lol....viking is evil...

Ive PhotoShopped the kawin photo. Kindly comment (Im still learning). Thanks all

Here's my try

vikingw2k, I prefer Banzai_San's version. Yours is a bit too pale for my liking...

Owh ok. I find that Banzai_San's skin tone is a little off and it's a bit too warm.

Hey guys , any idea where I can get a Bagman Snapshot Trekka or the copied version of million dollar home? Quite urgent le. (:

how about my try, sorry alpha_company, just for fun oni..

there is a user call zoakies here selling if i'm not mistaken
