Yup, RM80 in Sibu camera shops.

See how pity I am in Sibu.... I wanna go back to Kuching!!!!

Rm 2.50? After I buy a new one, will give this one to my daughter as a toy....

no la, rm80 is decent, summore urs is 62mm thread Not 55mm(a lot cheaper)....

if hoya HD or B+W slim, easily over rm200 already for 62mm...

kmarc, dont get too poison by people to get high end filter, the 18250 is just a normal lens... a simple filter protector can already.

as for CPL, i doubt is a good idea for u to shoot indoor (ur daughter), coz it will stop down 1-2 stop, where even ur flash cant really help~ too dark.

and if u plan to get 50mm, F1.8, that is 49mm thread, the 62 CPL (assuming u buying for 18250), u cant use it, diff thread size,... unless u go buy stepdown ring, 62>55 and 55>49 2 step down... + CPL,... i am very sure at 1.8, u see terrible vignetting.

think properly bout getting CPL, coz u get cheap one, the effect not much one. expensive one, is Very expensive. and u have to get the right thread size, who knows future u buying 1750 (great indoor portrait lens too) and it's 67mm thread, u cant use the 62mm thread, even u buy step up ring, it will affect the photo frame.

Thx for the advice. I'm thinking about quality filters so that it doesn't degrade the image so much.

Errmmm, I thought CPL is for outdoors (e.g. sky) and reduce reflection? I'm thinking about the CPL for outdoors.

Ok, I'll take your advice and not buy a CPL first. I will get a better quality UV filter mainly for my lens protection that doesn't degrade the image. Unless of course, the KEEP UV filter would not make much of a difference in image quality?

Note : There's a lot of people selling Canon or Nikon prime lenses (2nd hand) in garage sales but NOBODY selling Sony ones!!!

why sells? because once u use sony u wont want to let it go maaa.. right?

CPL is good, but use it with cautious, many people forgot to open it back after use, than its stack up with the uv filter hard to open it.. n forgot to take out n use cpl all day along even with normal photshoot.. at the dark area also use CPL, n question why blury, hard to focus etc2 lol..

n why hardly found 2ndhand prime? thats mean our prime is good.. no want to sell it except maybe 1 to upgrade to F1.4 or CZ,

oh yeah here go again CZ..

Owh.... true oso....

However, maybe they want to upgrade ma. Waiting for ieR to upgrade his gear and sell me cheap cheap.....

if u manage to play 1750 F2.8, u never will go F5.6 anymore. sumore the 16105, F5.6 at 35mm....(or was it F5 at 35mm)

but if u need range (putting F5.6), might as well go for 18250...

or CZ if budget allows

my friend said 1750 got backfocus problem..

ur friend say? he owns one? has he calibrate his camera with 50 F1.4 lens? or any F1.4/F1.8 lens?[s]

QUOTE

I Say, My 1750 No Backfocus Issue. go tell ur friend that. 

my friend tell me, A300 put freezer for 15 minute, my iso3200 will perform like iso100. should i do it?

and i also got friend tell me, his 16105 got backfocus issue, it turn out its his shooting style.
and i also got another friend told me, his CZ1680 got backfocus... should i start telling everyone that dont buy cz coz of backfocus?

*edit: sorry for being so sarcastic,.... bad day at work. sorry

well, i know more then 15 users with 1750, they all using units with No Problem at all(only 1 1750 user with issue, and he fixed the issue anyway... wasnt the lens!) and they are the one who convince me, the Purpose of this lens.

if anyone says bokeh at 105mm F5.6 is nicer then 50 F2.8, so be it... at least i know i can shoot 50mm F2.8 in a lift.... 105mm cant.

or should i juz wait for luck...see got any second hand 1680cz can grab?kaka

yup yup, better decision.... but very depending on the market.... it might have a lot, it might dont have at all. the A550+cz package is hot selling cake... some ppl buy the package to sell the cz (brought cheaper, sell good price, like 55-200) but also, when pair with A550, its godly. so... very depending the market has or not, a good best price unit... goodluck
