The A230/330 grip is not that great... Especially if you add in a heavier lens/flash. Don't just try with kitlens... you will upgrade later on

thanks ..hehe..true also....will try 'fake' it correctly next time..

Sony Carl Zeiss Planar T* 85mm F1.4 ZA = RM50xx
vs
Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm F1.8 ZA = RM48xx

Which of the above would be a better choice for portraits/wedding ?
If the above lens are used on APS-C, would I get focal length of 127.5mm (85x1.5) ?

Is there any KM lens within this range ?

ronnie: I would prefer the 85mm F1.4 ZA for APS-C. Yes the 85mm on APS-C would get a focal length similiar to 127.5mm on FF.

There is also the:

Minolta 85mm F1.4G
Minolta 135mm F2.8

If you want budget you can go for:
Vivitar/Samyang 85mm F1.4 (manual focus A-mount)
Jupiter-9 85mm F2.0 (M42)
Carl Zeiss 135mm F3.5 (M42)
Vivitar 135mm F2.8 (M42)

yeay!

where and how much u bought the 7MDH for?? ask them yesterday, but they say no stock wor

Hi fellas, any idea where can i get this item locally ? KENKO Auto Extension Tube Set DG AF Macro

might as well save up for SP90 + raynox

The 85mm F1.4 ZA (SAL-85F14CZ): Any reason this better option compared to the 135mm F1.8 ?

How much would this cost :
- Minolta 85mm F1.4G ?
- Minolta 135mm F2.8 ?

ronnie:

Minolta 85mm F1.4G - can be any price, but last I remember RM3000 or so.
Minolta 135mm F2.8 - around RM1500 or less if I remember correctly.

135mm on APS-C =~ 200mm on FF = telephoto lens + stage lens + short sports lens
85mm on APS-C =~ 135mm on FF = telephoto lens + stage lens + portrait lens
50mm/55mm/58mm on APS-C =~ 85mm on FF = stage lens + portrait lens

The Wonder: Wah for a while I thought that was Ahmike then I realized it wasn't an A850 and was Ethan. Noticed a tighter crop though! What's different?

as usual, superb photo bro

me too i tot is ahmike lol..

eh sorry sorry silap baca... so, it's safe to say 17mm on ff = 10mm on apsc?

wow very nice panning shots.......

millenia3000: 10mm on APS-C = 15mm on FF. Unless you're talking about Canon whose APS-C is 1.6x instead of everybody else's 1.5x.

hmmm 15 eh... no la... i dunno wan, that's why tanya la.... thanks alb.... been a while not bein here...

Hello mr Chris! (: Aiyo I'm so in love with the Tokina 1116 f2.8 la. Why la no sony mount? ):

Ronnie: last time i check(bout 3 month ago), the minolta 135 F2.8 usually start from 1.6 up to 2k depending on the condition (package, filter, hood). (increase from early this year when it was just 1.6k)... have to dig around real deep to find it at rm1.5k

The Wonder: wow, perfect panning
