LoL.. have this ever cross your mind where you want to get something better than the cz 1680 but cheaper than the cz1635?? LOL..

i shoot with SAL55200 + raynox dcr-250..

Ahmike bro,
you shot RAW or jpeg with the A850?

if this picture is XFINE...

anyone can point to someone who sell Tamron SP90 macro the cheapest?

Between the two (Tamron & Sony), definitely it's the Sony since Sony uses Tamron Technology and put some of their own magic into it.

I think the best would the the Sigma (not tested and don't think anyone here owns it). I read it at DPReview (http://www.dpreview.com/news/0906/09061804sigma.asp), it has HSM and incorporates a Hybrid OS (Optical Stabilizer).



@shootkk : I got one request if you don't mind, can show some sample pics results of A850 (APS-C mode) + SAL18250?

EV=0 is correct exposure if ur subject is 18% gray.
If ur subject is white color, u will get underexpose. It become gray. thus u need maybe +0.3 or +0.7EV to get it white.
If ur subject is black.. u will get overexpose. It become gray also. thus u need to set negative EV to get it black.

Added on October 2, 2009, 9:59 pmI tested mine 1870 on A200 sometime ago. Basically the center word is in focus. but on the real shoot, i still get some BF.
Do appreciate ur 1870. till now i still cannot say my 1680Z is much superior than my 1870.. sigh..

Thanks for the explanation. So it seems that its similar to LX3 too. Need to +0.3 / +0.7 EV to make it actual white.

naissss.... how much did you buy it?? below 6K or above?

eh? sony have 17-40 meh?? the 1635 is FF lens?? it wont be used in cropped mode rite? interesting...

what APS-C circle?

go to lelong.com.my and search for Tamron... you'll find someone...

Braynumb: Did you go to the Wacoal Lingerie show ah? Btw, get the 17-50... if you buy 28-75 straight I guarantee you will be very pek check when it comes to group photo or wide angle shot... even with 17mm on crop body I still sometimes feel that it not quite wide enough...

EIH???? got lingerie show?! when?! where?! aiyo... why nobody info me??? aiseh... I think I'll be getting the 1750 instead lah... when go FF, then will consider 1635Z...
