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

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~

same to me~ my f42 is always with me too~ but i love the f2.8 bokeh~

wah, taikor~ dont like this leh~ the venom is strong~!
Sell me ur a700 + CZ1680 lar~ XD

hmmm~ according to ieR bro mentioned, seems the Tamron is sharp enough for my casual use even at f2.8 lar~
but i know the CZ1680 is damn sharp~ but the extra 800bux~ i tot plan to match it with the a700 replacement few months down road in package~

wah~ poison~~~~

i know~ i tot i buy the tamron now to match the a200 as i wont be selling the a200 and a7x0 + cz1680 mid of the year~

i know what u mean~ currently my a200 is pairing with the 18-250 lens coz i travel a lot so i need the versatility~ since i have the intention of getting another new semi-pro apsc body in new future~ i guess i dun mind having a little collection of lens for myself to play around~ (trying to resist the CZ venom now. ) maybe, i'll head down to Studio Zaloon later after work to test both lens and get myself poison~ see how it goes then~

sounds good to me~

gulp~ CZ venom is strong~

what is the best uv filter used for CZ1680 to avoid vignetting issue?

then you dont even need at least a single protecting filter for your CZ1680?

but i am just a noob here bro~

eh~ where is your 16-105 lens? sold for CZ1680?
