i wanna ask, KM AF 24105 f3.5-4.5 and 1750 f2.8 which better? I feel like getting the KM but 1750 got static F but KM got longer/wider zoom length.
Confuse le ><

i think only u can answer ur own question...which one matters more to u?constant aperture?range?

Static F? LOL. Constant F isit? But the KM has nice colours le. (:

i vote KM 24105 , but it's not wide at APS-C

those infinity sign in the lens is for wat de..?aperature izzit..?

wah...this few days got a lot of getting 50mm F1.4 hor...congrats all...and to noprob as well...hehe

focus to infinity and beyond!

Today went over to Sony Style The Curve to try out 85mm F1.4 and 135mm F1.8 on my puny A200..... I don't think my hands can stabilise the beast even with SSS. The hand-shaking icon keep appearing hehehe.
Had nice bokeh at wide-open.... found that the CZ135mm sharper than CZ85mm at wide open

Will post some pictures later on....

Time to upgrade body :-)

pics of new body??

You mis-read my post... time for me to get a new body

huh...now sony curve got 85mm & 135mm?...last week went there...dun have...

Yes.. they have quite a good selection of premium lense including the 70400G

marauderz: Interesting, will remember to try this next time I see a tricky purple. Also was it from the JPG or RAW, given that RAW probably would harvest more colors?

The underscore is due to it being in AdobeRGB instead of sRGB.

Braynumb: I think you're going around in circles being silly lah. Just get the beercan. The 100-200mm F4.5 is the closest you've ever had to it, but with a weaker range.

finejava: Yes indeed! An autofocusing 85mm F1.4 is better than a manual focusing 85mm F1.4. Also, I have a friend who feels his Zeiss 85mm F1.4 was slower but when compared side-by-side with my Zeiss 135mm F1.8 it was the same. Perceptual, I guess.

Aiyo, the point of RAW is that you can (and probably are expected to) fix simple errors like underexposure and wrong WB!

As for the difference in color it is entirely up to the RAW converter. Some bring out more colors in fine detail. Some have a different idea of AWB. Whatever it is, you are supposed to change it. If you want to do a direct comparison set them all to the same Kelvin and Color Correction Filter (Tint) value.

8 years is a good long time. Though the local warranty is 1 year plus 6 months once you register it online. If you can bear with shipping it to Hong Kong before it gets sent for warranty, sure! Ironically, I think you'll have better luck and more efficient service sending it to HK... provided it is by a service company of caliber. For example in USA there's Precision Camera which has been getting good feedback on Dyxum.

porkchop: The VG-B30AM and VG-B50AM copies are fine. For the A700/A850/A900 you don't want to get one of those 3-button grips since the VG-C70AM and VG-C90AM have a full set of buttons. That said I think the VG-B50AM feels far more solid than the VG-B30AM, and the copies of the VG-B30AM already feel creakier.

signither: ND for waterfalls, GND for landscapes. I dare say there is more practical use for the GND outside of waterfalls and landscapes, to equalize the exposure on two halves of a frame. However I don't have space for it in my bag all the time.

fansoption: Set the DRO as you like lah! Note that the higher the DRO (say Level 5) you get more noise because it is pulling up the shadows.

CrazyAyik: I have the Minolta 24-105mm F3.5-4.5(D) - it is nice and much smaller than the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8. However are you sure you don't need the 17mm end of it?

looked like u hvnt do enuff homework yet! lol

true...still kind of new to DSLR ma....ahahaha

Was thinking to get 50mm F1.4 as well how is the price like where is the beast place to buy

Ho ho ho ... Simply 'give' cannot la ..

I was shooting in jpg, the internal screen could not display the purple, but the picture viewed on a laptop could.
and the underscore is due to adobeRGB? so my wife was having a party with my settings...
