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

really?..haha..if i have time..tomorrow i'll buy the f58

yeah..the more we shoots..the more experience we get

ya you are right... but the Samyang looks like a nice piece of glass... performance (IQ etc) wise also nice for her price

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

Added on January 29, 2010, 8:28 pmfor apsc i would say tht a short range prime like 28mm or 30mm would fit perfectly....
for me i am using cz1680....its all depends on your budget...

Mikeshashimi: There is the:

Sony 55-200mm F4-5.6 DT
Sony 55-200mm F4-5.6 DT (2) SAM

The second version has the Smooth Autofocus Motor. SAM is a nuisance to me because you lose DMF and AF/MF control on the body. Your A100 has DMF.

90% of sony lens ARE SHARP. its the matter of ur shooting style, and focusing accuracy. some user with F5.6 lens might never able to shoot successful to a experienced F2.8 user. shoot more.

SAM vs SSM...lol

SSM?
SSM is on SAL 70-200mm f/2.8 G..

owh i see.. but any difference as to IQ?

Got my a350 back today. Paid RM318 for service and part charges..
spamming a picca

o0o0o0o0o... thx a lot ....

im sure need hell more surveying...
minolta 28 f/2.8 and minolta 50 f/1.7 any good?
and which one better or whats the diff?

they are different kind of lens....
in APSC 28mm is standard prime while 50mm is portrait lens...
both are good and sharp lens just buy tht one which fit ur requirement....

i got this news from 1 of the fren i met in maplestory long long time ago..

she said..today she receive and email from her branch manager..and this manager mass sent this mail to everyone in that branch...so when she open it..she saw some familar stuff inside..and after awhile..she realized that her manager mass sent some of my photos and my flickr link to everyone in that CityBank branch..lol.....so touched TT_TT and i dont even know who is him..i guess next time if i wanna take any loan..i must go city bank liao..hahaz

wow.... u got a big fan there man...... keke.... congrats......

I just send it my camera to Sony Service Center today, and to my surprise, i still got warranty left for my camera!!
It's registered online so i got extended 6 months warranty which ends, guess when?

18th of Feb!
Wow .. i am so lucky, so now i saved Rm150 for the services charge and on top of that i can service my camera for FREE!!

w00t!

Now if only i can get my LCD replaced and get it back before CNY, i would be the happiest man on earth
