I m thinking to get Tamron 17-50mm F2.8... but i heard there r many often case with the lens "backfocusing" does it apply for the old stock only or even the new one?
Actually wat does it mean by "backfocusing?" how to check the lens if there is these problem oh? |

Im suprise there are actually ppl who still remember the Episode 2.. hahaha paiseh leh.. i was so bz that din bother to do it at the moment.. i thought ppl will forget bout it will find time to continue them hahaha. thanks for the support lolQUOTE(albnok @ Jul 27 2009, 11:50 PM) Kul | Mo0, the Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG can be used on full-frame. Thanks albert. It means lets say if i focusing using Spot mode... and i point at the person.. but he will not be in focus instead it focus his background?... seems to be a troublesome problem if the lens has this.clivengu: Backfocus means it focuses somewhere behind where you wanted it to focus. Try at 17mm and 50mm, and close range and long range. If it's all good then no problem lah. |

So wonder when is A550 n A850 released?
Looking at A850 ... if its a fullframe camera is unlikely a replaced model for A700... not wat i expected. Wonder is A550 the one gonna replaced A700 but with lower spec. Tat makes me considering wanna get the A700 with lower price (perhaps better build quality) now.  |

very curious bout the A550 model... since i dont think is time for me to upgrade to Fullframe like the A850 yet...
Worry the A550 was the "cut-cost" version of A700 then i might as well better to get the A700 now when d price r on its lowest. The fullframe even if its selling for 6k+ FF lens(still not too understand with the FF lenses...) its still far beyond my budget  |

QUOTE(albnok @ Aug 2 2009, 10:37 PM) clivengu: Some FF lenses are cheaper than their APS-C counterparts. Thanks for the breakdown.. nice to understand the price range of the alpha line.Sony 50mm F1.4 = RM1100 Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC = RM1700 The Zeiss lenses, are of course more recently priced. From what I've heard, the A550 is not the cut-cost version of the A700 (if you mean from A200 to A230). It is likely that the A550 will be similiar to the A700, just that by now a proper A700 replacement will have a lot more features. Supposing: A700 = RM4400 street price in 2007 A900 = RM8300 street price in 2008 A850 = RM6000 street price in 2009 A700 = RM3200 street price in 2009 A230 = RM1500 street price in 2009 A330 = RM1800 street price in 2009 A380 = RM2400 street price in 2009 * not sold in Malaysia I would guess that the A500 would be very close to the current A700 price, and the A550 just a bit more. This is including the A700 feature set but probably with Live View. When the A700 came out, it was closer to specifications and price to a Canon 40D with the Nikon D300 costing RM5400 instead and having more features. A proper A700 replacement should add features... but where in between the A550 and A850 would its price be? Does the Sal50mm F1.4 fit for FF camera? it means when its on a FF camera it will appear like 38mm on an APS-c? Which is the actual Ideal range for Potrait. I oways heard ppl say 50mm is d best n accurate potrait lens.. but i still find it a bit too close on apsc... so it actually apply on a FF camera + 50mm lens? So albert u believe the A550 would be a A700 replacement...mayb i was assuming by the way Sony named their camera, based on the level of performance... A100<A200<A350<A700<A850<A900... So I thought A 550 could be lower performance than the A700 but better than the A3xx range I do believe that The A550 should come with the Live View n not sure they will introduce HD videorecording or not (is like a trend now) no harm hving it...it will be interesting. |

QUOTE(achew @ Aug 2 2009, 10:56 PM) 50mm F1.4 is a FF lens...and i think it probably boils down to ur portrait style...for me *most of the time* i would find 3x mm(on apsc term) a lil bit too wide for portrait of my style...i'd prefer 85~1xx >.< hahaha.. i guess im just a lazy user who oways shoot mostly during dining time... shoot food n shoot from my sitting n shoot my friend across the table... don really hv chance to shoot a serious potrait outdoor .... I use the 50mm on my friend. n she said make her face look BIG~lol.... n i used my kit lenss n she just love it.. |

The 50mm on APS-C becomes a short portrait lens. will try to attend one next time thrs one keke.. n hv to make sure Anti FF poison is on....  Cant wait for the Oct Alpha Convention. Guess tat should be the launching time for the new model. I missed the 2008 one cause was in hometown.  |
