kev da man, show us a picture with EXIF that shows the problem.

me? i stop haul dy la

haha

Or maybe I get Sigma 24-70 as a cheaper alternative. Hmmm. But I still want CZ. I might have to sell off my 50mm to support the CZ together with my SAL1118. We'll see how.

hahaha slow, stuttering and hunting seems to be the exact description in dark areas even when i'm out in the sun lol. i meant quick AF LV. AF point says shoot!, i get OOF >.< and specifically, when i'm talking bout shooting on the podium, i am always trying to get the AF to lock on one of the eyes or nose. all i'm getting in focus is either the earlobe or mic, which means it exhibits both front focus and backfocus at the same period of time, never on the eyes. using my own a200, no problems with focusing whatsoever. perplexing, isn't it?

sony's official response? to paraphrase,
"our carl zeiss is too sharp, so focus must be precise."



like i said, the a550 i got might be a lemon after all

CZ is still the best, is it?in terms of lens quality..

mid-range isn't my priority now. so i'm pretty sure i won't be getting the 2470Z very soon. i'm more into wide and tele. i've 50mm for mid range. also, i have a tamron 35-90mm that i hardly use. not sure if i should sell it or just keep it in case of "emergency"

i know wat u shud get, 70-400

zicron : signither got 70200G + 2x TC already ma. (:

albnok : LOL. What's with the eustion mark? XD

do not want la. i already have 70-200. if really want 400mm, then should buy 2x TC only

aiyo. where got? sold that Tamron 2x TC with my Tamron 70200 dy. cannot use with G maa. if wanna use with G, have to buy Sony TC

in that case, may i suggest 300mm f2.8?

Oooh oops! Then buy Sony TC lo. (:

created a new set,

for all the images, the AF point is placed either between the eyes, or on the face. if the AF is not on the face, half-shutter and drag is used.

i may add that while i have used the a200, a850 and a550, the other two bodies are perfectly fine in terms of focusing and this is the first time i've experienced such hit and miss, even when compared to canon and nikon.

yup so far so good..

except.. how come it turns off by itself if i dont use it for let say 3-5 hours (means the laptop is idle)? even after i set it to NOT turn off when adapter is pluged in...

lol. better buy car or house la

do not want la. 1.5k for a TC only. better save for something else. and i don't really need 400mm, yet. lol.

guys...tell me should i go for FF now or wait for a7x0??

neo_lam : FF! Actually I dono la. I never had the FF lust.

you got all the FF lenses you need?
personally, i'd go FF when i go commercial, otherwise, save the cash for a7xx

FF la, a850 + CZ

i got oni one 501.4 for FF...lol....but if i go FF i will buy new lens..

and i'm thinking to get all FF lenses now, so that when i upgrade, i wouldn't feel the pain.
