There might be a back-focus problem with ur lens? Especially if you are shooting very wide, like F1.4..

My 50mm F1.4 has a slight backfocus problem i.e. when i shoot wide open at someone's face and focus at the nose, a lot of the time the ears wud be sharpest, heheheh

EDIT: lol same timing we post

use a focusing chart to test if your lens is suffering from front/back focusing or not as it will be more accurate.
the AF might mis-focused sometimes due to the fact that the AF covers a large area (esp when u are focusing on a small piece of subject)...front/ back focusing will be more prominent when you are using the widest aperture and for this case f/1.4....

get ur lens fixed if it has the problem, else it will be very annoying..isnt it?smile.gif

Wow, that's cheap. I would get a 2470 before 70200. Sigma HSM 2470 looks promising also smile.gif

A dedicated camcorder will do. Would you carry a 1.5kg camera for video shooting? rclxub.gif
My hands and arms are refusing to do so.

erh, having video is a plus for DSLR esp during vacation where you wana capture some special moments in video. imagine already carrying 1.5kg of gears, you wouldnt wana carry another camcoder and would love to do it with ur heavy gear smile.gif some may say the quality sux and this and that, but as said it is a BONUS to have that feature smile.gif

sigma HSM 2470 - had it before ...so many issues especially gear stripping. Wont recomment that.

AFAIK, sigma 24-70 DG EX has gear stripping problems on alpha but I tot that HSM will prevent that problem happening...Yes?No?

for me, vacations will be my handycams, small and light... otherwise, a cybershot... smile.gif

i dont want to lug my $$$$$ camera + lens around..

for me, i will bring my dslr with me for vacations with 1 or 2 light lens(eg all-rounder-18-200) to ensure that i capture the moments during my vacation because i might not be going back there again!.

noob question here.
What is the use of a UV filter?
Will it helps to improve image quality?
Is it necessary to get 1 for a kitlens?
*
my advise: get a good one if u really want, else dont waste money in getting one.
main purpose of having a filter these days is to reduce glare, increase contrast and protect the glass...
