braindead_fr3ak : Just my personal opinion, go for the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 instead of the 16-80CZ even if you have the extra bucks for the 16-80CZ. The Tamron IQ is quite good too.

Constant aperture is important, every stop counts.

I don't think a lens being contrasty can help in AF focusing (need a Master to confirm this).

to help u put it more simple, the new A5xx(450 too) or A700 above model, use such good AF chip, they can focus all the time
in practical talk...
even u might say contrasty help in AF, it affect it by mere small margin. but once u have a F58, the AF assist defeat the purpose of it too.

all the above is just tech talk, missing the real practical issue.

surely, when a A300+CZ vs a A550+tammy+F58 result is so obvious. having the right setup is important too

I see i see...yea i agreee. technical talk with no real world backing up is crappy....what remains to be seen is to go and actually test out the lenses....i think tomorrow go sg wang...or uncle chin in pudu got tammy ar?.... anyone free to follow?

it does help, by small margin. very subjective when in practice.

...... hmmm wonder about moo.... brother moo....can care to descrieb ur G lens focussing speed ....

even if its not a f 2.8.. but ...... ? what justifies the pricing besied SSM and G glass

the SSM win over the built in body motor by a large margin. cant be compare ler...

Pic spam



c&c appreciated.

aperture does affect the photo IQ. not just DOF. and yes, by right, good lens should be sharp at all aperture, but the fact is, NOT. sadly. summore, each lens u get, each lens as diff sweetspot. although all generally appear on the same zone.

and, to make it easier to understand for u. u use a FF. compare a photo at F2.8 and F4 and F8 at the same composition, area at the where the line of 'rule of third' intersect(should be 4 spot, that area is also known as corner in aps-c camera from ur FF). u notice how the sharpness builts up when u stop down.

for me, I don't need F2.8 lens coz my a550 can also shoot at low light with high ISO..

when low light/dark, noise doesn't look so bad for me =)

F/2.8 doesnt only affect ur shutter speed..it also provides u shallower dof to seperate out the subject from the busy background...

there is many good reason why there is constant F2.8 lens are being built. and the lowlight issue is just a very very small reason.

we do have prime bebeh to make it shallower

The SSM in the 70300G is fantastic! When enough light, it focuses accurately and blazing fast. The only pull back is when you use it indoor. It tends to hunt a little, but what the coconut, the 70-200 f2.8 also hunts abit in indoors ma. (:

17mm F2.8? tammy has it

its about versatility..sometimes we just dont have enough time to find a proper place to change lens..or carry a spare body with a prime attached.....

Q : Which alpha got the best tracking focusing system for moving subjects ? eg. for wild life photography, sports ...

obviously, the new A550... (and A450, not sure the A500 has the same sensor or not.)
