Which lens would you choose (for value for your money)?
1- Samyang 85mm f1.4 (manual focus? ) 2- CZ 85mm f1.4 Planar T* This post has been edited by Banzai_san: Jan 29 2010, 12:30 PM |

QUOTE(ahtsong @ Jan 29 2010, 01:48 PM) totally dif la....one is manual one is auto, one is 1k+, one is 5k+ how to compare????  QUOTE(cjlai @ Jan 29 2010, 01:53 PM) fully agree with u.... value for money only if u wan to compare the image quality and optics.... AF & MF is not something u sh compare here.... depends on personal preference and gif n take for about 25% price of the cz.... ya you are right... but the Samyang looks like a nice piece of glass... performance (IQ etc) wise also nice for her price  Added on January 29, 2010, 4:49 pm QUOTE(finger_waverz @ Jan 29 2010, 04:23 PM) im in need of very sharp lens for street photography...and because ive havent any experiance in it... any recomendation... and also not very expensive one just for learning for a not expensive street photography, maybe the new SAL1855 f/3.5-5.6 SAM or Sony SAL16105 f/3.5-5.6 might suit your purpose for learning This post has been edited by Banzai_san: Jan 29 2010, 04:54 PM |

QUOTE(alex_cyw1985 @ Jan 30 2010, 07:09 PM) any suggestion on which shop? here in lowyat, ceriss (Foto Edar G Flr, BBBintang) is selling a550 body for $2650/- only.I asked sony center, promotion 3299, come with 50mm + printer only, no memory card, no bag...nth =.=" Maybe you can use that as a price benchmark for negotiation. Other shops such as Zaloons studio, Boing etc are a few others |

QUOTE(alex_cyw1985 @ Jan 30 2010, 07:16 PM) do they come with free gift such as bag / memory? or the price is cheaper only compared to sony style? I do not know. I have not bought any from them I'll be flying to KL next week and plan to buy myself A550 + 1680CZ lens + (maybe) F58 flash. Shops that I wish to visit... Zaloon Studio (definitely a must visit... Sony Alpha centric shop), Boeing & Foto Edar BBBintang. |

QUOTE(SHOfrE3zE @ Jan 30 2010, 09:13 PM) hi fellow alpharians. i have a sad news to tell here. i finally quit sony alpha to join another camp. the reason being that sony takes too long for an a700 replacement, there's no alpha with hd video recording capabilities & all my business partner is using the brand i've jumped to. other that that, there's no reason i guess to jump ship. yes, i'm venturing on videography too and it's essential to get a cam that is able to use lenses without any adapter. but that doesn't mean that alpha is not a good cam. I thing they're one of the best and it's true that it should be ranked among the 3 major dslr brands of today. I would definitely recommend sony alpha to any of my friends who wish to join the photography world. I still thing that f58 is the best flash around and no other can beat its awesomeness. anyways, i won't be leaving u guys as i think sony has the best community and every1 is there to support each other and i dare to say, better than any brands. i will join u guys for any activity but that if of course if u guys still want me. and btw, i'm selling of this 2 item right now: Sony 55-200mm f4-5.6 DT AF http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1310121&hl= Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC UWA lens http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1310116&hl= it's sad to leave alpha and i wish goodluck to every alpharian in pursuing what you guys love best. long live Alpha! aiseyman Safri... gonna miss your photos contributions here. Tapi takpe la... nanti bila keluar A700 replacement, can always jump back to the Orange boat... Goodluck in your photo business |

e-jump, how much did you buy your Siggy 28f1.8 ?
kfthoo, how much did you buy your SAL DT30f2.8 ? I'll be buying the 1680CZ next week (god willing) in KL, and am wondering if getting one of the above prime would be of any benefit to my photography... except for the bigger aperture (ie f/1.8 & f/2.8) over the CZ, and also the macro & min focusing distance, Im not sure if they would give me great service over the CZ as walkaround lens This post has been edited by Banzai_san: Jan 31 2010, 09:55 AM |

QUOTE(Kul | Mo0 @ Jan 31 2010, 01:30 PM) UWA gone , hello G. (: waah Kul bro on spending spree QUOTE(e-jump @ Jan 31 2010, 01:30 PM) Hi I got mine for rm1.48k local set. The grey set is cheaper, but not available for sony (too scarce for a mount, but abundant for canons =__=") Local set is fine too since im no expert in photography and my 18-70 kitlens on loan, maybe i can do tammy 17-50F2.8 vs siggy 28F1.8 at same range. or just kasi albnok test & do review There's huge price difference between your siggy 28f1.8 and kfthoo's SAL DT30f2.8 ... I assume the sigma 28f1.8 is sharp and much much better? |
