how much is the 50/1.4 u r getting?

Minolta Maxxum RS 100mm F2.8 Macro

i felt the same oso.... coz my camera setting set saturation to +2 or +3 at the time

fireworks fr Taipei 101



shot by someone in my flickr

this is nice but i think there's too many smoke oredi.... u sh only take the 1st few blast n keep ur camera away to enjoy watching the fireworks.....

Zeiss is sharper on the 100% crop.... T* coatings help to reduce flare and increase contrast.... but i dun like the fringing....

just found this.... An additional Zeiss-exclusive coating, P* Phase Correction Coating, is applied to Roof Prisms to correct color fringing..... i think they din apply this on the sal85f14z....

can't wait to get my hand on it.... especially the 85mm .... so i can start moding it with the AF confirm chip

check my sales thread

if u like landscape u sh get the wider lens... 105mm oso can use as multi purpose.... just u think not long enuff can try adding tele converter to it later

with the huge DOF u just need to point the lens to urself will do
