grats to the new thread.. LOL. I dont really use manual often. More to semi auto for fast moments.. unless you're dealing with still objects which enables u to have lots of time..

QUOTE(cassplayer @ May 8 2010, 11:39 PM) SAL55200 is sharper than SAL75300, but the focus motor speed is really slow I think the SAL55200 is faster than the SAL75300.. I previously own the SAL55200 before.. Depends on what u compare with =P If you never play with any SSM or HSM lenses.. then I dont think the speed is slow for u =P Have to be patient or else you miss your good shoot with it. |

QUOTE(cassplayer @ May 9 2010, 12:04 AM) I used it once, was struggling to take a still shot Hmm.. unless u re using AF-C , i dont see a reason once its focus lock why would it tend to re-focus.. Every now and then when focusing it keeps focusing to the back, then to the front, and on and on and on~ Or another case u might be in an area with dim light.. haha.. |

Well, depends on how much u want to frame it..
but based on what I think u re thinking.. normally I go for Spot metering or maybe Local.. metering is spot metering unless ur subject is bigger than what I think then i ll use center.. AF single would do find for me =D |

QUOTE(destfull @ May 9 2010, 07:49 PM) as for me, I think output produced by SAL 16105 is better than CZ1680.. I think what u ve experience is either having a not-slim filter or u're shooting at 16mm @F3.5 ..I do think that SAL16105 produce more vibrant color... but at that time I paired it with Sony a230.. I think its the diff of sensor... My CZ1680 is paired with Sony a550.. CZ has more visible vignetting which annoys me compare to 16105.. Sharpness? I think not a lot diff even when I zoom it 100% Now I'm with no gear.. If I want to buy lens, I'll go for 16105 rather than CZ1680.. 1750 is not in list as it too short.. I would rather spend it on prime (30mm and 50mm).. Now still waiting for a7xx while funding for it.. Other than that, no possible vignette as far as I'm concern.. haha.. |

QUOTE(Banzai_san @ May 9 2010, 08:04 PM) the not slim filter problem makes sense for the vignetting problem. ie Its a filter problem, not the 1680Z per se. It's not really that visible but if u notice closely there are slight vignette.. As u stop down your aperture, the vignette tends to disappear.. I think Ive snap many shots at 16mm @F3.5 but have not notice any vignetting. Im using Sony's Zeiss MC Protector btw. Nice choice of a filter for your lens =D |

QUOTE(Banzai_san @ May 9 2010, 08:10 PM) filter bought the same time (but separately) as my A550 "package" at Zaloon. How much was it? Lets see, retail was around RM 230 is it? Got poison by Uncle Chin  I skipped that filter cos all the shops was offering at retail pricing, some higher than it.. So in the end I opt for the B+W instead =D |

QUOTE(destfull @ May 9 2010, 08:32 PM) I've used a slim filter.. and when I speak about it, I don't use any filter... don't be a fan, be a user please.. but I like its bokeh.. agreed on ieR said.. its almost as owning a prime but not like owns it.. Exactly, I'm speaking based on user experience,you got my point there. Thanks for pointing it out. |

QUOTE(zstan @ May 9 2010, 09:17 PM) ooo..how's the price in penang? zaloon seems quite far from my place..if my lens got problem..i should send back to tamron service centre?or i can send it to camera store? I remember asking CNS like 1 year+ ago its at 1.35k but that was before the prices of yen increased.. so I assume its should be 1.45k now?For warranty wise you can always go back to the shop and ask them to send for you or likewise go straight to tamron's sole distributor in Msia which is Futuromic. Best is u could call up Zaloon, might be pricey a lil bit , but as what the people in the forum say, good service and huge range of the lens series. |

QUOTE(wingster @ May 9 2010, 10:37 PM) Hey guys wanna ask about an event telephoto lens ... I think the sigma will serve you okay, unless you love to look at ur photos at 100% crop.I was interested on 70-200 F2.8 lens for indoor events such as fashion show but doesn't meet the budget for Sony 70-200 SSM .... is there any good alternative? The softness at 200mm is not really noticeable , as I prefer the HSM over the screw driven Tamron. Still, if budget is a concern, do consider the cheaper alternative of Tamron. But, I think the Sigma 50-150 is less than 3 k right? though its not meant for full frame. |
