lwliam : Nice la your UWA shots. Must ask you teach me some dy next time. (:

bernama7 : New 62mm CZ filters can be purchased at about RM200 if not mistaken.

albnok : But some how The Orange Legion sounds nicer compared to The Cinnabar Legion. Wait actually not bad eh? (:

but i want the constant aperture~ i saw many shots from the tamron~ really poison~

but oof/backfocus issue how? any input guys?

Aiya get la CZ1680 la although no f2.8. But the sharpness can kill la. Misai also can see properly!

aiya.....same old story lah....money matters....cny is around the corner already and can't get ang pow somemore any place can get 36 months installment?? haha....

CZ1680 later with new a700 replacement body~ thats mid year planning~

will get cz filter for cz lens..$$$$$$

"if you by cheap, you will by twice"..my friend said.

lwliam: Nice, though I would prefer one tight crop of the domes itself as the bricks already look very interesting. Something like a telephoto shot with compressed background.

Nashakir: Cleaner composition.

kfthoo: The Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 is a really fun lens, because it can focus on whatever it is touching!

you mean it's macro capability? i find that it has a very close focusing distance...20cm only...with magnification 1:2.3 but some review mentioned that the lens suffer soft corners at 17mm...anyway, it's still a better alternative to replace my dt1870...

Gouki : CZ1680's bokeh also quite nice wan la IMO. Although not potrait la but still.. (:

gulp~ poison~ weh~ dont lar~ i oredi set my mind on the tamron~ now CZ pulak~

huhuhuhuhuh

my A200 viewfinder show a piece of thread(benang) like thingy at top right corner.
no matter how much i blow i wont go away..
but it does not affect IQ.. but very irritating to see it there..

haiya guess need to send to service

Gouki... itu achew memang raja racun ha ha ha..
he'll poison u with everything that he have wahahahaha..

have to think properly before opening this thread.. if ur anti-poison is not updated then surely gonna loose..

Long time never post in this thread V36 already

but like what ieR bro said in previous thread~ the tamron 17-50mm f2.8 is great for portrait to separate the subject from the background with shallow DOF at f2.8. Great for body like a200 to maintain lower ISO. The CZ1680 is definately a better match with the a550 or a700 replacement as i plan in future~

freddy manson : I where got poison people wan? XD

Gouki : What you said is true also la. But for me my f58 is fitted in to my camera almost 90% of the time. So f2.8 not that important to me. (:

Gouki: CZ...CZ...CZ...

Gouki: IMHO, i would go for a sharp lens 1st then only DOF...good sharp lens is hard to find...as for DOF you can PP it with photoshop...

even though i got myself constant 1.8 & 2.8...but i'll usually do my shoots at F4...as that is the optimum level whereby the lens best perform...

my 2 cents

p.s: my CZ just only sold to destfull...

my a700...ehm...waiting for FF replacement model...
