My comment - u think too much of buying a valuable lens - go buy n u will say this - 'why I didnt buy the lens earlier'. Almost all my commercial indoor studio portrait shots were done with this lens and my clients repeatedlly enggaged me. 2 music cds - 1) ika/alif duets 2) siti hajar, rosma dan khai - were done with that 50 mm and a chinese singer Jyin anti smoking magazine /billboard campaign that will be lauched soon also was done with this 50mm. 3 tv dramas promotional pics ,a full feature films promotional pics will soon...shall i say more...so waddaya waiting for.

Seng_Kiat: Looks good to me. I use Vivid 0 +1 +3 -2 -1 all the time!

The setting has nothing to do with WB though - if the color is off, then it's your WB.

When the flash is in Manual Power, and the body is in any other mode than Manual Exposure, it will change to TTL. You need to change a setting on the F58 - hold down the Fn button until the Custom Function menu comes out, and scroll to C04 and change it from M to PASM. Now you can flash Manual Power even in Aperture Priority!

And I personally would prefer the 50mm F1.8 DT SAM because it focuses to 38cm close and is contrasty wide open (the F1.4/F1.7 isn't.) However, I do shoot in so much lower light that I really need the F1.4. If you're just going for bokeh, I would much prefer the F1.8 as it gives cleaner bokeh (no bright-lined out-of-focus discs.)

@hanafi, I paid 2k ++ for them. I tested the PWPII on A100, A300 and A700. All three cameras works well with the PWPII. No more worries on the line of sight and limited range with Sony wireless.

Test shot with A700 + KM 75-300, 1/50, f5.6, ISO 200 & focal length = 300mm.

I tried to register my F58 but getting error invalid serial or model .. I tried:

Model: HVL-F58AM / HVLF58AM

but didn't work. any idea what should I put in?

I registered my A700 successfully but only got 12 months warranty instead of 18 months .. sad.gif .. CZ1680 has 18 months warranty .. wink.gif ..

Just to ask the sifu here... do you think is a good idea to replace the 18-70 kit lens with a Sigma 18 - 200 (w/o Stablizer version)? It seems quite cheap at 1K+ and sony dun need the Stablizer...

Or i shud go for the newer Sigma 18 250 with Stablizer version of Sigma? Any significant diffenrent between the 2?

p/s: my kits: DT 18 - 70, minolta 50 1.7. next on wish list is FM58 and after that is kit lens replacement...
*
er.. I think all lens for SONY will not have the stabiler.. As the IS is built in to the SONY camera body. unlikely Sigma 18-250 for Alpha mount will have the stabilizer.

Call sony directly to register, easier. Had this problem before. 1300 88 1233.

Maybe you try to email SONY to ask them register the F58 for you and the extended warranty of A700. Last time I register my F58 only 15 month warranty. after I email them, they change to 18month warranty.

emm .. any A700 user wanna share the settings, setting tricks etc to produce better picture? . smile.gif ..

I jump back to sony because I like the color produced by sony. So colorful and I can't get it in Canon body with cheapo lens. L lens might produces something different but i have not much money to spend at least rm3k-4k everytime I buy lens. with sony, it produces colorful picture even with cheapo lenses ..

no doubt, nikon is famous with its colorful picture but i give my trust again to sony because of its in-body IS (SSS) .. I can shoot with ease even at 1/5 shutter speed with ANY lens .. the other fact I jumped back to sony is because of the price .. with my budget, I could get A700, CZ1680, F58 and 70-200 (later when I sell off my canon 70-200) .. stated lenses and flash are high end of sony line up .. wink.gif .. I believe i could not get 70-200, sb900 and high end multi purpose lens if I choose Nikon ..

in terms of noise, from my 3 days experience with A700, I found that Sony is slightly behind Canon 40D at high ISO performance. but I believe, A700 produces great picture and good high ISO performance (from reviews, it is on par with Nikon D300). I just need time to get the correct settings .. smile.gif .. it would be a great help if someone share me the settings or tricks that should I alter on my a700 body .. wink.gif ..
