poad: ur 1870 already got 50mm ma.. no need change la.. kasi a 1/16 powered flash and bounce it.. should be ok edi one

wha7: no wonder la, u put another filter somemore, sure vignette d..

Hmm... can try Hoya HD series cpl or B+W XS-Pro series Cpl.

ya got new ones, thought might come in 2 weeks time but looks like the bulk went thru successfully

still getting used to the 16-105 weight..seems like it feel slightly heavier than the 17-50 f2.8 (although specs wise it is not)

can't afford to try try la...all these filters above RM100...

You afford to own 16-80z but cant whack rm100-200 filter ?

i think one should always budget for filter when buying lens...

dunno y i also don want buy a sony ori filter loh...

imo is better to buy a branded one which cost a little bit more rather than trying out those cheaper one that causes vignetting... so what will u do when the cheaper filter causes vignette??? you buy another brand to try out... if that causes vignette you are going to buy another one again... so better to buy 1 expensive filter rather than a few cheap one... just my 2 cents...

WTA: should i buy a Tammy 17-50 2.8 since i have SAL 16105, SAL 50 1.5 and F58....i wonder do i really need the 2.8???

OHhh ! u guys having TT tomorow?? Actually nvr thought of going to KL tomolo... jam like hell.. But igeorge from alphanatics come from Malacca all the way to COD my alpha big bag.. so im meeting him in the afternoon round 2pm.. should i wake up early for the TT ? kinda lazy.. if I go.. i'll know where to find u guys anyway.. any of you have a beercan? I hope to compare my beercan IQ with other copy.



Ah danbo! Do u know where can i get the Revoltech Gloomy Bear?? tat bear extinct in malaysia oredi.. im looking hard everywher.


Love the contrasting colour of red against nicegreen

SAL 50 F1.5???? haha. For me the 1750mm works well for me...n constant F2.8 aperture is wat i need ...n its sharp at F2.8! I usually dont like to boost my ISO too high.. so the F2.8 works just great to maintain the high detail.

if you don't plan to sell SAL16105, i would advice you not to buy the tamron 1750, trust me, f2.8 is not gonna help much in low light if you don't use flash.
if i were you, i may consider getting sigma 30mm 1.4 for the huge aperture for lowlight and bokeh shots, that will make more sense.

clivengu: haha typo...1.4 is the correct one...

tanjq87: prime again...actually i oso donno why i wanna buy a 2.8 lens maybe becoz of the bokeh in wide open...not really about the low light. I will not sell my 16105 as i like this range when travel, very useful.

30mm 1.4, i actually don like to bring lot of lens out and don really like the idea of prime too....i might consider sell off my 50mm if 1750 2.8 serve me well

LoL.. yaya.. good filters doesnt only give you awesome qualities , it prevents the glass from pecah and doesnt reduce your image quality * though not visible *

Filters are like insurance , sort of a way to me though =) haha..

Well.. if you get vignette at 16mm , try stopping down a few stops , should be okay =)

Added on December 5, 2009, 12:34 amThe 30mm f1.4 isnt really sharp right? Never really had the chance to try it out but read that the 50mm f1.4 is way better for the bang of bucks rather than the 30mm.. which is quite disappointing.

How much is this lens going at the moment?

30mm 1.4 should be 15xx-16xx if not mistaken

jimlim007: FF is not my cup of coffee la...too huge and heavy to carry...waiting for A7xx instead and i would prefer if sony some out 1650 2.8

those original camera brand filter are quite sucks imo.
This is why people keep recommending the B+W / Hoya HD for high grade lens
16-80CZ what, B+W recommended

i think what u mean is zooming in by 1-2mm?
