oo.. coz im actually purchasing the 75-300 later.. cod with someone.. 75-300 can combine with raynox?

Seng_Kiat: how come weird ah? info abit =P later i purchase wrong lens i hailat hehe

u can find sony in quite a few places...orchard road there have a few...Jurong Point located at BoonLay has one too..u can find them from Sony Singapore website if i not wrong....but like what HKHK said..ur only chance is to take alook at Comex IT fair..probably sony have better offer there..if u looking at normal price in sony retail shop..don even bother...just imagine 70200 street price here is close to 3k SGD or more...
Ryzan dude...after u bought ur 70200..pls do not post any photo here...i warn u..do not post any photo..u might kill me with the poison...lol 

Those who have 70-200 just need to buy a 77mm Close Up filter.  A lot of books written by pros oso use the same thing. Scott Kelby is 1 of them.
U shud go to the Sony Style at Orchard Central. Gigantic shop n very nice place. Look here to see-  Orchard Central

my new 16105, feel wanted to faint n vomit after looking at it...

probably stand a little further and use probably 35mm to reduce this effect?

is it??? maybe i need to calibrate my LCD...anyone else have the same feeling?
how about this?

clivengu: That's actually how much the D300 was when it first came out.

So, online, people asked:
Don't answer the question. See what these people have to comment:

A good flash is sure handy sometimes, but I think i would be better of with a good lens.

i somewhat gotta agree and disagree witcha bray...

the 640X480 display is brilliant, yes i;m used to the a200 too, but havin 640x480 is definitely a big big plus for me.

and bray, how could you say no to 7fps! maybe ur not into sports, but 7fps is definitely gonna come in handy for those water-drop-on-pool kinda shots... stop motion too!

put it this way, you know that opening max wide will soften the image, right? then u stop it down a couple of stops to get sharper image.

F1.8, u have to stop to 2.2 or 2.8

with f1.4, u can stop to 1.8 which can achieve the same sharpness but with more light gathering ability + shallower DOF

Added on September 16, 2009, 3:36 pmanother point is that the optics itself is much sharper for the 1.4

50mm

terms that japanese people use for the blurry effect at the back or foreground of the subject I guess..

some people are crazy in love with it... photo enthusiast especially..

while for some people they didn't care about it at all as long its blurry effect

I think that even at 50mm F5.6 for both lens ... 50mm 1.8 can get faster shutter speed than kit lens ... correct me if i`m wrong

ianho: Yes, Hartblei tilt-shift lenses with Optics by Carl Zeiss exist for the Alpha mount:

The nature of tilt-shifts is that you'd want to see what it is focusing on at F8, at F8 in the viewfinder (like pressing the DOF Preview button all the time.)

An OEM tilt-shift lens offers the benefit of being able to manually focus wide open (e.g. F2.8) while setting the aperture at F8, but if you understand how tilt-shifts work this feature is not needed.

Funny thing is, I find Nikon far more exciting than Canon. I find the Pentax K-7 far more exciting though in APS-C land.

hkhk: Try RawTherapee (freeware) or DxO Optics Pro (not freeware) for guaranteed good Alpha RAWs.

SpOOkY: Not just that - you can really redevelop your RAWs in the K-7 to no end. The extent of how much you can tweak color in-camera is boundless.
