...

the 24-70 is a rather large lens no? is it heavy?

Nice one bro ^^

yes... and yes... big and heavy
but after some time, I believe you'll build up enough muscles to get used to its weight.

a nubie question:
for a product photo shoot (eg food, shoes, jewelleries etc)... what lens to choose?

lwliam: Of course!

Carl Zeiss 16-35mm F2.8 SSM
Carl Zeiss 24-70mm F2.8 SSM
Sony 70-200mm F2.8G SSM

Nikon's trinity is with the 17-35mm F2.8 AF-S instead - the 14-24mm F2.8 is unique to Nikon.

its okay.. all u need is a strong will..
when sumthing comes ur way.. must tahan2 the money so can get the desired gear..
dont straight away buy nanti makan rumput ha ha ha
its 77mm thread.. big wooo...
product shoot.. i use the 50mm because that a comfortable range for me..
i do food shots using my 50mmf17 and for jewelry i use the 50mmf28macro

Hay guys
as we know, sending ur alpha to service checkup may take some time (weeks)
how do you live without the body for weeks (ie when some ovent comes up, you have no body)?
do you guys happen to know that some place where we can rent an alpha for a day or two?


getting a 2nd body is last option in my list, where 2nd last is skip the event and pretend it didnt happen

albert, by unique, what do u mean? that they have a choice either/or? or the 14-24 is a lower end version of the UWA trinity?

Arghh... All sifus please don't poison with CZ....

Thanks for your input fred.
What about others? what's your lens (or lenses) of choice for product shoot (food, shoes, handphone, jewellery, etc) ?

me no sifu... but with a550, the 1680 CZ is very tempting no? hehe

It's indeed tempting but... I still would like to utilize all the basic lense only go CZ... No point getting the high gears if I still not able to fully utilize the basic gears.

I've just browsed a few pages of the Pentex thread and I must say that Pentex is very bold with color (camera body color to be specific... not photo image color ). Other camera makers are very conservative in that area. I think Sony did experimented with camera body color with the A380 (ie the brown color). I wonder if Sony would be daring enough again in the future to come out with camera bodies that go against the conservative tradisional black (or black/crome for film) color camera body ...
