well I wanna aim for SAL18250 if I have the budget ....

rough price:
18-200mm F3.5-6.3 AF DT = RM 1.6k
18-250mm F3.5-6.3 AF DT = RM 1.7k

RM100 different...

ShootKK has the lens and quite satisfied with it...go ask him and perhaps can tt with him try the lens. He did some preview with it in previous V. As for me...prefer fast lens and prime lens.

photo spam before i go to sleep:



nite guise!

do you mean tamron 1750?

between tamron 1750 2.8 and Sigma 18-50 HSM 2.8, which one is better?

HSM FTW!

for some reasons, i dont know why sp00ky is too pro to sigma 1770 instead tammy 1750 .. .. i think, more users are using tammy 1750 instead siggy 1770 .. .. i really have no idea on the performance of siggy 1770 but i absolutely please for the price i paid with the performance from tammy 1750 .. ..

bro he is saying about 18-50 la hhehehe..i like the HSM:)

alpha_company, between the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 and Sigma 18-50mm F2.8, honestly, they are both just as sharp.

However, the mount determines your choice.

Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 (New) - noisy Tamron in lens micro-motor on Canon and Nikon mounts
Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 - screw-driven on Sony and Pentax mounts (it is a lot less distracting, and has a lower frequency sound.) Also if you can find the first version of the Tamron for Nikon mount, it is screw-driven also!
Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 HSM - good quiet Sigma HSM on Canon and Nikon mounts, plus 20cm MFD is really fun
Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 - screw-driven on Sony and Pentax mounts (this lens has had gear stripping cases.)

According to Kho King, the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 (New) has slower AF than the screw-driven version, both tested on a Nikon D200.

Seng_Kiat: Go test a 17-70mm, then! It has its merits. If you're just going to follow what people buy just because everyone has one, I dunno what to say lah.

can...no problem at all...im using the same one also on my a300....

im looking into joining alpha user...

so im only beginner...
deciding to take pic with sony alpha..

my question..
is sony a300 twins package is good for me??

where can i find the cheaper place to buy it..
or the sony style is the best places??

thanks in advance for answering my question...
huhuhu

A300 is good esp with its live view which always come in handy. Twin lens package? Good if u get good deal. If say one day u decide u dont need that lens u can sell it off. Cheaper place...try pudu plaza zaloon or...any shops in low yat plaza or bukit bintang but try to compare prices between each shop first. Good luck and welcome.

Added on June 23, 2009, 7:49 amas per wat napi-bro said earlier... if u jump ship from pns to dslr.. A300W is demn cun package edi...

try survey at studio zaloon in pudu plaza.... or go lowyat coz lotsa shops fighting for customer...
but u need to hunt for it la... just be careful not to fall into their trap on marking up prices for accessories..
i believe they do so because they already give extra discount on body+kitlenses..

wat we all always tell here is buy the package only... accessories better cabut buy another time or other shop..
act like u not that noob... and please do take a note of accessories price too...
such as filter (UV/CPL/etc...)... cable this cable that... flashguns... batteries.... they might sell it double the price..
alternatively.. check the price at online shopping sites...

will study first about the cam..

huhu

Man I love that pic... especially love the lighting... Beautiful shot bro... Absolutely beautiful....

hehehe... you are... like.no.other

I have to agree with you... I'd take pictures everyday too... My babiessssss..... hahahaha

My 2cents bro... 1. Can still see the hood shadows from the flash. 2. should crop closer and focus on the face (at least cluttered background won't be visible). keep it up bro. keep going at it.

Uncle... I thought Tammy one only got 17-50?...

BEAUTIFULLL!!!... love the space you've given the subject in the photo bro! a beautiful picture that says alot. Damn nice... LoveItLoveItLoveIt!

I'd go for the 1750 tammy. Coz somehow really worried about siggy's gear stiripping issues...
