Owning a A900 wouldn't make your the best photographer compared to when you are owning a lousy 16-80 kit lens. To me, doesn't matter how many lenses you own or use. The main concern is it shouldn't be a measurement tool to determine whether you are left out in photography or not.

No one wanna C&C my pictures?

Btw, shots are taken on Vivid mode +1 +2 +3.

ceh... tadi kata only got phone camera ...
got Vivid mode some more

@ Banzai: Your kit lens can buy 2 of my cam + lens lor. Ori price lah

can someone tell me whats the main issue for flash overheating and how to resolve it during continuous shooting?

I turned my flash on Auto TTL mode and just several 3~5 continuous shots for few times then it gets overheated =__=

dah hang dok sebut depa mai la....

if not mistaken i was trying the WB setting...i set to 5600k if im not mistaken....or was it on AWB....???

now CZ is considered lousy kitlens guys...

seriously .... 16-80CZ has lousy built but superb optical =.= and it was a great lens however why people do call it as lousy or not a good performance kit lens?

Why not?

It's not a constant aperture lens and the highest aperture available is only f3.5.
It protrudes when it zooms.
It's not weather sealed.
It doesn't have SSM.
It's pricy.

I will take CZ 24-70 f2.8 SSM anytime than this overpriced plastic feel 16-80.

no offense here...this theory may make me think only super damm rich people can play DSLR...

i am owning 1680cz...i think it was a superb lens no matter in build quality or the IQ...quite statisfy with it..Great lens on APSC

Ah, but the 16-80mm is compact and very sharp. What can you get for RM2300 with the same aperture, compact size and focal length?

hazril: A bit magenta-ish (probably due to the roof or tablecloth.) Good candids but #2 and #4 might not fancy them being shot mid-sentence.

cassplayer: Nicely done, good color!

Banzai_san: No problem!

wingster: You were probably using a combination of settings that causes the flash to fire at a higher power. To make it easier for the flash, use a high ISO, bright aperture, slower shutter speed and use a diffuser pointing forwards if there is a high or dark ceiling.

Obviously you will feel your lens is superb cause you are owning it. It's a common mentality to many. Once you move up to a better one, you will then realize how good it is.

Which is why, IMO, I would rather stay with a Tammy 17-50mm f2.8 and take the leap straight to CZ 24-70 rather than go somewhere in the middle and yet still stuck with a non constant aperture lens like what my friend did.

The Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 is a lot chunkier, and it has its fair share of build quality problems also (loose front part). Some people prefer range over the average 1 stop of light.

I see ... but whats the meaning about diffuser pointing forwards?

The only thing I don't like about the CZ1680 is that, I don't know how to say it in the proper terms but when you tilt it toward the ground, the lens would just zoom out without realising.

moo

a bit loose alr gua

Chunkier? I doubt that. Their size is almost the same and in fact, Tammy is lighter than CZ16-80. Tammy's build quality problem? I suppose it depends and not all are like that. Just like moo's 16-80. Certainly not all 16-80 are loose like that right?
