thinking for very good potrait lens...looking for 135z or 85z

hmm...big diff for the IQ?

eh, SAL85/1.4 cant be same performance to the 135/1.8 in terms of IQ ? 
85mm is an ideal range for portrait also 

well, first... ignore the reviews... but read the cons and pros... and read more cons and pros on every website.... and imagine, the cons,... does it exists on other and older bodies. and does that matter?

A100 is a kinda, old camera, with several generation of technology gap to A550.


either u find it too long, or too short.

sony user has so much advantages and argues bout 85 and 135... sony user usually will find 135 much nicer with ease to use. (due to SSS and 135 at 1/30 also no problem... sharp)

other brand, they prefer the 85... F1.8~(most favorable) is better choice... due to the all primes has no VR or IS, which at times, 135 at slow shutter is not an option as it might shake too much.

when comes to arguement on this both lens... each has their own better uses. when u use it one a 24mp sensor, the pixel is soo much, that is hard to compare IQ

hahaha, cheaper ah? this one i also no comment hahahaha...

KM 135 F2.8 got, around 1.3-1.6k... rare lens. if 135 F2.8, i might save more money go for 70200G which cover the range and sharpness too

maybe i juz dont like sony didnt apply the magnesium body and large vf in the latest a550 and a500 and also the infrared sensor

i feel that the a100 falls short on higher ISO. as well as advanced tech like auto-HDR,larger megapixels, smile shutter and stuff. however, i do feel honestly, the a100 feels more solid on hand compared to the a550.

@neolam: thats what i want to do but i dont think i can find an a700 to try. haha.

@banzai: sorry, but whats IR? i do intend to keep my a100 IF i do upgrade.

sorry for asking soo much, but what makes a700 better than a550?

watermark was done in cs4 sometimes ago....the pattern at the bottom was from a brush..

as for the reflection..orig was very very faint..so i make it slightly more obvious digitally..

yea i knoe...if coming with semi pro sure above rm3.5k
