bbc = big beercan , bc = beercan

BBC = big beercan
BC = beercan

no i was comparing BC and BCC on why they one still retains value better than the other... its OT from the 75-300 a bit

OT= off-topic

in that case then i know that the beercan is more valueble per se due to its constant aperture.

now whats OT? i got to get use to these abbreviations.

any poison from the combination of a850+2470cz?

Calling for kysham or tanjq87 for a850 + CZ2470 poison!

Seng_Kiat : Really upgrading ar? Nothing that you're selling that caught my eye le. ):

thinking of it la moo .. no concrete answer yet .. a few options in my mind and a850+24-70 is one of them .. .. I have a month to think of .. ..

On the topic of 85CZ F1.4 sharpness...
A few days ago, I tried bro kysham's 85CZ F1.4 lens on my A550. I thought, the CZ lense not so sharp la... maybe nice color but not so sharp la at wide open.... UNTIL I saw bro kysham's photos shot using the 85CZ...
I tried to replicate the sharpness, but somehow I failed. My shots turned out soft at wide open ie F1.4.

I gave my A550 to kysham and let him show me ... any waalaao... THE CZ85F1.4 IS DARN SHARP!!!

See below:
Original picture (fresh from the farm, ie no PP except resized)


100% cropped (no PP except cropping)... for pixel peeping ... you can see the pores!!!


Compare to this softness (also 100% cropped - no PP)


So, I think people complaining that the CZ85F1.4 is not sharp is not because of the lense... but the person behind the camera (ie like myself la, still donno how to properly shoot )

But the F1.4 DOF is very shallow

because it is so shallow, u really need to focus what you want properly. otherwise it will be soft.

officially kena poisoned><

ya loh... cannot simply blame the lens la. Sometimes, the problem lies with the shooter, not the lense or camera

so in the sharp pic, which part of the face was focused? i think banzai's version is due to different part of the face was focused.

waah Seng Kiat bro... go go bro Seng Kiat

Really wanna jump to FF ah?
But of course you already know that A7x0 is (hopefully) just around the corner ... heh! Ive been saying "wait for the A7x0" since last year lagi IIRC ...

waa....... then that kind of lens will need alot of practice to get sharp pics lo

macro spam

If one wants pixel level sharpness, get the best lens available loh.
IMHO, to get the best result from Sony's high end lenses/cameras, need some effort and practise la. I believe that is one of the thing that separate the good photogs to the common average. Just my noobie opinion la.
