wah today go klcc try out the 85mm...kena poison until kau kau...

So did you buy the Zeiss 85mm F1.4 ?

This photo was taken yesterday, welcome any CnC

finejava, get it lol. 135mm is better than 85mm right?

depends on the usage...wat i like bout the 85mm is the F1.4...it works extremely well in low light with fast shutter speed...and the fact that on a aps-c the length would be ~128mm 35mm equivalent which is almost similar to 135 on a full-frame.

135mm is F1.8...even though ppl might say 1.4 & 1.8 not much diff...but...when comes to low light with fast action...every stop does influence the shutter speed in A mode.

I'm still sticking to 85mm...now looking for the best bargain out there...just matter of time...b4 i get it...

i've taken a few shots...will upload it tomorrow...

another thing to note...a lot of review says the focusing speed is not that great...but to hell with it...it is DEFINITELY faster than the 50mm F1.4...and that is more than good enough...

lets see how impt is the VG to u??? to me..im not a fan of VG as i already find my bag very heavy n bulky + i don shoot in portrait mode that often..so my choice is probably 1680...

if u feel u need the grip..then i would suggest u take the latter as the quality btwn 1680 vs 16105 is not VERY VERY big..other than the slight diff in IQ n contrast..maybe u also lose out some aperture..thats all

Same like achew .. Dont need a VG

a VG make u "Look" out standing from others. NOW everybody use DSLR, the one with bigger camera size win.. "I m JOKING "

Try and see whether u like 1680 more or the 16105 more. in the end, u might still get a VG if u really need it.

so i'm thinking of getting a coin filter.. do i really need the ND filter, or GND is enough?

agree with you
another thing is you plan to get external flash eg:F58, then it might be a good idea to get VG because it will help to balance the weight
i purchased my VG few days after i owned flash

totally agree with v1rtual, the thing with VG is not the look, pro la, this la, that la...

i concluded:
1. Balance the weight
2. Battery life
3. most importantly...to help you snap portrait shoots normally and comfortably...
there is more la...but can't think...just woke up...

for 3rd party i observe, most the battery you need to change manually from 1->2 unlike sony

Kul | M0o: I LOVE my VG...

buy buy buy, else later GST come you pay more for your gear
