Too far for me bro, which is why I bought it from KL instead. Didn't want to risk shipping something this expensive as well.

Penang always sell camera stuffs cheaper than the rest, I wonder why hmm.

50mm if want bokeh you've to go f/1.8 or f/1.4. Or maybe in future the upcoming f/1.2

no la... i dun feel she is pale... jus a lil bit over for me oni... =) her face is kinda reddish in my screen... 

part of the reason for me to stay away from tamron is this
My cousin got 3 tamrons
18-270 VC
17-50 non VC
18-200 non VC
All 3 got problem
Too bad to be true

17-50 = aperture problem, i dont really know how to explain the problem here as its not my lens.
18-270 VC = same problem with u , have to reattach the lens then ok.
18-200 same problem.

maybe she is one of the most bad luck 1.

Just try take out your lens and put it back and power on
good luck to u
