QUOTE(dingenius3 @ Jun 25 2009, 11:13 PM) i'll vote for flash... if 5za9 said is correct... use the tele for portrait if u wanna bokeh.. i shall learn to maximise the potential of my mighty 18-50mm then.  waiting for u patiently to grab an A900...   woah... when i was at the last flash workshop... i use kitlens only  the flash does help me a lot to capture the "moment"! |

QUOTE(albnok @ Jun 26 2009, 01:25 PM) teikwing, you could get: may i know what's the price for a new/used Sony 50mm F1.8 DT SAM?1) second-hand Minolta 50mm F1.7 - focuses to 45cm close 2) brand new Sony 50mm F1.8 DT SAM - focuses to 34cm close I prefer the images out of 2); they're more contrasty at F1.8. |
