err... maybe la... i oso cant remember... haha... i called ya whil u were in UK the other day lol!!

looking for a tamron 17-50 or a UWA la... have to buy in shop cos usin credit card

he he .. So still hunting bro ? i might open a WTS thread soon ...

damn it! what u WTS? tell me its ur 1750! please! kat YL jual 1650 i just only called... aiyoo... must plus 2% for credit card sumore...

not open bro, sat n sunday their close..

Hehe .. Wait n see bro
Go for it bro ! .. But y not save some cash first

yea man... i might save a lil cash... but that's for my future body upgrade la... collect lens 1st... from UWAs now im comparing 17-50 and 17-70... hehe...how fickle minded...

although i think the 17-50 is the best 18-70 replacement to many alpharians... but somehow i also think the17-70 is a lil more interesting compared to the 17-50... in terms of it's magnification ratio 1:2.3 for the sigma and 1:4.5 for the tamron.... and also the MFD with 20cm for sigma and 27cm for tamron...

just go for 1750 or cz1680 or 16105 if u intend to replace ur kitlens.

fuh dashyat tak bagi chance langsung for the 17-70...

i like the constant aperture of f2.8 from the tammy

i oso vote for tammy.... sh follow marushin's way....

millenia,

may i know what is the usage if u get the sigma 17-70?based on what u were saying here, sort of u want macro usage from the replacement. Am i correct?

thanks maru for helping me out here... i wanna use it as u know a "fairly" wide and walkabout lens... im not too worried about the aperture because i'm so used to the kitlens already... what i liked about the magnification is when u do like closeup shots and have the background in as well the subject still remains sharp...

i'll go for tammy anytime than sigma. do bear in mind that the sigma recieved a number of complaints regarding the gear stripping issues. so far the only prob for the tamron is the vignetting issue.

ok, i get u...

then my recommendation

1-tammy 1750
2-CZ1680
3-SAL16105
4-Sigma 1770

why i put cz 2nd? because if u have budget constraint. If not-just go for cz.like shofreeze said-sigma have many issue especially on the gear stripping. SAL16105 the best choice if u dun mind about the sharpness,contrast. but still great walkabout lens. Yet, tammy 1750 is the best in price, sharpness, a good contrast for a 3rd party lens.


but still, tepok dada tanya selera...

haha... dah tepuk... dah tanya... yea id prolly go for the tammy laa.. terima kasih bebanyak mr.mashimaru!

anyone for an all-u-can-eat durianfest?




btw to millenia3000, this pic is taken using my tammy 1750 using iso800 with no flash. kasi poison siket
