QUOTE(lightning69 @ Oct 16 2009, 11:30 PM) Hi... Which one is better? Minolta 50mm F1.7 or Sony SAL50F18? I notice that the Minolta price is quite high around Rm500 which is almost the same as a new SAL50F18. In this case, would it be better to get the new sony lens? Sorry for noob question. I would choose the SAL50F18 for being newer product. And also its having SAM. I would expect quite fast focusing Sharpness similar to the Minolta (according to review)

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Oct 17 2009, 12:34 AM) I have never used a fast prime lens before. The reason I want a fast prime is for low light shooting like indoor. Can the sal50f18 shoot without flash when shooting indoor and get decent photos? Is the dof too shallow if i shoot at f1.8 or f2? which alpha camera are you using? If you could bump the ISO to higher ones.. then ok. Also if you are using APS-C alphas, you have to consider if the 50mm is wide enough for indoors photography as in indoors, you might also have the constraints of space availability. If not maybe you need to consider a wider lens. However if 50mm is sufficiently wide, then IMHO the SAL50F1.8 is a good... no ... a great lens.

clive, what are you going to do with your tammy 1750? send back? repair? ??? Added on October 17, 2009, 8:41 amQUOTE(Mikeshashimi @ Oct 17 2009, 04:34 AM) lol. the thing is... i wouldnt know how to clean it... so, um.. how much if i send for cleaning or servicing in sony centre? and would take how long? and sifus here willing to help me out?  Added on October 17, 2009, 5:39 am i took a pic of my laptop. i blured the background so can see the dust/hairlines more clearly. Added on October 17, 2009, 5:40 amclick on the pic for a bigger pic.. please tell me the problem and solution.  looks like a hair or something on your sensor. Hope not scratched If you are not sure how to clean your sensor, then safest would be to send your body to Sony Service Center. Or come to TT where the sifus can assist in cleaning. You can also view the video clip on page 1 of this thread - "How to clean your Alpha sensor by albnok" and see if you are dared enough to DIY sensor cleaning This post has been edited by Banzai_san: Oct 17 2009, 08:41 AM

QUOTE(jimlim007 @ Oct 18 2009, 10:15 PM) since Zeiss manuafactured lenses, why they din offer other C or N, agreement with sony? FYI, Carl Zeiss does not manufacture digital camera lenses for Sony. CZ lenses for Sony digital camera are made in lens production facility jointly chosen by Sony and Carl Zeiss, which at the moment is in Japan (note: NOT Carl Zeiss plant) However, the lenses are developed by Carl Zeiss designers in Germany. Also quality assuarance measures and audits are from Carl Zeiss.
