yeah using adapter.I remember the 1st A900 user here in forum show me the adapter.But I don't remember him lol.Anyways, I bought the D300s for all of my hardwork as a part timer.And D90 was a gift from dad for Mid year exams.

@.@ wow,... this i really need to hear... how a UWA lens with short focus gear, is slow.... they have sooo much DOF, its even easy to use manual focus....

I dont get you. Why need use adapter? Can straight away mount it in any bodies ma depending on what mounts of SP90 that was made. :S

SP90 available in canon nikon and sony mount.

Sony doesnt has a Sony Alpha Lens 90mm.

same as me too.Lol let's not confuse each other.

Added on March 5, 2010, 6:40 pmNow I get you.Lol.Okay my explanation is I bought Sony Alpha 1st before Nikons.and if I sell the lens,It would be a waste of money.Sorry to confuse you bro.And dun want to get the 90mm for Nikon.

u can easily sell it and buys a nikon mount on by topping like rm100... they are pretty cheap lens... anyway, there are a lot nikon selling the SP90 too... lol

I got Sigma 17-70,Nikkor 70-300,Nikkor 18-200 , Nikkor 50mm and Tokina 11-16 Fisheye lens.And I don't think I can add another Tammy SP90 for Nikon lol.

oops... mixed up the reviews i read...the focusing slow is other lens... sorry.... o ya, talking bout the tammy 10-24, there is a review tat said it's soft at all apertures.. is it tat bad?? i read it from here.. dyxum reviews for tammy 10-24

+ F58 with AF assist

i tested it in a dark room.. working...

thx.... will try it out.... but with F42..

yah , 1870 do not have internal focus motor , so it use body AF system .

good luck.. as long as it can assist.. hehe

can la bro...dont worry...

Oo...sry boss, made a big time mistake there. Wait, means if i have to summarize ur exaplanation, i should say that all lens' focusing speed is mostly independent of their technologies but more dependent on the camera's capability, right?

Hmm, about that a450, sony uk's web specify something like 'Max.5 fps with viewfinder, max. 4 fps in live view mode (approx.) , max. 7 fps in speed-priority continuous mode'...so i thought it should have a LV or maybe Sony just copy paste from a550 without checking

PS: EVIL seems too small to have a hotshoe mount


lol, sry bro, my mistake. Juz understood it through ieR's explanation =D

Vgrip? You mean battery grip? A330 doesn't support battery grip?

Actually i got a good offer for A330 (3 months old) and selling out my A300 to get it with RM50 topup only
So i am getting my new body hopefully next week Tuesday .. can't wait

waaah... so nice la you william. Bought the A700 for bro dreadlessdream's wedding


Nice tip again from albnok... I think I need to copy and save this into my pc for future reference.
Thank you


Some extra info on A550 focus sensors I read very recently. Thought I'd share with you guys/gals

"The A500 and the A550 are equipped with sophisticated TTL phase detection autofocus (AF) system to assure quick, accurate focusing in almost all picture-taking situations. It utilize 9 focusing detection points including a cross-hatched center point. The location and angle of each focus detection point -- called Focus Area by Sony -- is denoted on the viewfinder screen. The central point is the most sensitive because it reads both vertical and horizontal patterns."

pg 112 - The focusing system.
"Magic Lantern Guides - SONY A500 A550" by Peter K Burian.

Im still reading and learning the basics from books, manuals and reading others postings ... noobie me

btw, the blue phase sounds something similar to A700 2.8 sensor? but A700 is trigger when using 2.8 lenses ... if Im understand it correctly ...

SAM not really that quite, SSM is .

err. are u saying 70-200G is slow? 70200G is SSM lens. I believe it is slow due to the Weaker AF system on A200/A300 body compare to the A700-A900. The Key here is the different AF system used in those 2 class of body.. nothing related to the motor i think..

lugiamcg: well, AF speed, is influence by SOOOOoo many factor that, is so subjective. there is NO way to Generalize ALL lens characteristic. each lens has diff gearing, diff length, diff IF or EF design, diff gear size, and lot more.... even technology plays a factor, and camera body.

when u compare direct 1 point to another point, like SSM vs SAM or SAM vs body motor, it's easy to compare because we neglect the gearing possibility...

A450 cant 4fps with MF LV check. it cant, the mirror flip cant flip that fast~ unless it has mirror lock up features. i cant comment, i dont own a A450. however so, it has a LV but its for MFLVcheck, which is not practical because it does not activate AF.

Fighteden: depend on ur NEEDS, but if not for mobility, u are making a big mistake letting go the A300! A330 does not have a battery grip option (i prefer to call it Vgrip as Vertical Grip (or vertical orientation grip)). sony was thinking that Entry level is pure entry (family shooter), u dont need fancy tools to make it look big... u wan big, go BIG... like A4xx,5xxx,7xx,8xx,and 9xx

nope... A700 has all of A550 + extra F2.8 sensor. so it triple the sensitivity. but new tech AF is always more sensitive/accurate/smarter

the vertical and horizontal sensor, we call it cross sensor, cross as a '+' shape. all models has cross sensor for the centre AF point (sony calls it focus area =.=)

i didnt generalize 70200G as slow lens... i said it was slow on a A200, hence, yea, it could be body dependent too... but i wont say weaker, it did lock on first focus, it did not hunt, but it felt bout a little faster then 55-200 @.@ hence, i judge is on A200 is slow?

seriously, i cant really judge, might be the sensor itself, or the body tells the SSM to go slow, the optimum of the AF sensor speed? it was kinda slow on A200,... but i heard from a friend of A900, he said it was really really fast... i have no comment, unless someone with A200 and A900 with 70200G can do a control test and tell us the result...

the major noticeable thing is, its total silent... u keep asking urself, is the lens focusing? or not?

u r right...even a fast lens on a slow body cant fully utilizes the SSM...
