I plan to buy the f1.8 50mm.. i want to ask does the market have bag for 1 lens only?

waffor you buy 1 bag for 1 lens only? unless you're using belt system. people buy bag to hold many lens and stuff wan la.

fruitie go for Canon 10-22mm since on crop body..

i think fruitie should just drop RM 1k to get Tamron 17-50 non-VC since.....

1. she lack funds
2. she doesn't have 18-55 range
3. she's aware of the Tammy and already is under the buying list.

I have a 17-50 non-VC and I want a UWA too.

wow~~

V24 adi..

btw i'm using 450D

quite new in tis world~~

Added on June 7, 2010, 1:25 ambtw wat is UWA?
can some1 explain?

This post has been edited by busyman: Jun 7 2010, 01:25 AM

UWA = ultra wide angle.

i also like to call it UWA is cos when people who haven't used it before will say "uuuuuwwwaaaaaaa!!!"

such lenses usually go from 10 to 24 range for APS-C body.

eg Canon EF-S 10-22

for Full Frame body, their UWA are like EF 17-40L / EF 16-35L.

the EF 17-40L / EF 16-35L on APS-C body works like short zoom range.

The EF-S 10-22 cannot be used on Full Frame bodies since they only accept EF lenses, not EF-S lenses.

the APS-C body on the other hand accepts both EF and EF-S lenses.

*sure got more questions to come. LOL. i let others answer, now i go play game!

that rm100 for single body or how uncle..huhu..
coz i was thinking sending 2 body n 3 lens there..huhu..

Wah sum1 kaya raya oredi got 2 bodies now.

I joking with u only la. Hehe. I dunno how long they gonna take for ur cameras but I get mine done in 30 mins only.

How long they take to calibrate a lens? Feel like sending my entire arsenal for calibration tomorrow since I'm free.

but not as kaya as u are...

vk..go larr...tomorrow u tell me ea.huhu..

yea I always wanted to go, but the thought of lugging few rice bags there made me ponder twice. Is there any lens that they don't calibrate? e.g those really ancient and discontinued ones due to they afraid they don't have spare parts should they screwed my lens during calibration?

ehh, this XL-shop ah? http://www.xl-shop.com/

I've got a question to ask :

Anyone know physical shops in Subang/KL area that have ready stocks of sigma 50 f1.4 and sigma 30 f1.4?

I wanna try them out n buy.

Besides that, does sigma official warranty covers internationally?

Grey set's price is tempting compare to local set.

Pengster. The friendly guy is the brother I think.

Giggsy: so what she's married. I also married and yet so many ppl look at me cos I so handsome. Hahaha.

I like going pertama to get my stuffs. Think tanks, that's where I go.

Yday : I took my 55-250 and my 135mm test side by side, wah the color from the 55-250 really different. Not cun!!

Of course la. 135L 3x the price of 55-250 sure chun la

135L and 100L HIS USM, which more preferable?

yayayayaa

WOW! V24 already!.. congratz congratz...

faster chase sony thread, v41

already say dont spam and no congratz liao...
this alex still do...haizzz...
anyway..why need to chase the orange fellar?
pointless

@myjunk, what's the difference in colour?
now i want to know! always says L nicer and warmer colours.

I know then I need to save more liao...

Bingo! You really know me too well.
Now I have the sufficient cash to get a used Tamron 17-50mm non-VC already but scared regret pulak.

What is that to congratulate for? Read goldfries' first post. No congrats post.
And what for to chase Sony thread? There is no gift for winner.

just would like to ask, why u go for Non-VC instead of the VC version?
my next target is also the Tammy 1750, but still undecided VC or Non-VC now...

thanks

Main factor - Budget issue
Second factor - Saw online reviews, non-VC version performs well too.

Yo fruitie..uuuuwaaaaaaaaaaaa...
I just got my non-vc @ RM1100 with filter 2 months back. It's sharp, but focus a bit slower than 18-55 IS kitty under dim light. Another thing of course is the so call "transformer sound" lol..Overarall quite satisfied =)

Aiming for canon 10-22 / tokki 11-16 too..maybe few yearssz zzzz $$$

I believe your non VC is a used set?

Be prepared to wait for a week or two. Mine's been in for a week and it's still not done.

But unless you go pinjam Uncle Ian's CPS, then should be much faster la. But with your arsenal.. err..



They're all friendly, that's the best part.



Hahaha cracking your head still? Next time got TT I let you play with both la.

save abit more then u wont regret
go get 10-22mm

1.1k of course used la ..but after checking no back & front focus issue..no scratch or anything..sharp..ah...hentam la..

P/S: Seems like many ppl recommend 10-22 over 11-16..

This post has been edited by MingKAI: Jun 7 2010, 10:13 AM

Aiyooooooo, u think he dont have CPS ka?

so what do you guys think about the 35L? thinking to get it for low light usage.
also wanted to calibrate my 24-70 with the body cause micro adjustment just manage to get some focal length sharp.

Oops, sorry goldie... I get too excited then straight away go to the last page..
Btw
Guys, got any nice place to shoot some picture?

35L on crop not nice oredi. The special thing about 35L is the wide look with big aperture. What u need is 24L if u want the wide look.

dont need wide prime yet cause got tokky 116, i need a lens to bring out at night for snap shot. maybe 24mm is too wide for snap shot or so...

Ur missing the point. Ppl like the 35L is coz it's wide. But on ur crop body it's not wide anymore. Put on crop oredi is 56mm. The specialty of having 35L is lost then. The 24L will have that 35 look on ur cropper.

You better book them for a week if you are going to bring your entire arsenal there...hahahahaaha

One more thing, the zoom feeling on the Tamron VC version is too stiff compared to the really orgasmic zoom feeling on the non-VC version. One more reason that I chose the non-VC version after considering budget.

well, 50mm+ is good for standard focal length, am i right? if buy 50L on crop then not standard anymore.

1. It's wider (by 1mm).
2. Longer range.
3. USM.

But no 2.8 la, that's the only drawback. But heck, I can live with 3.5-4.5.

Ehhhhhh ya hor. Silly me.

Seems a waste lor. Buying a 35L n then getting the standard lens look that so many other ppl have. No more special look. Hehe. With a 24L, at least u still get that special look that will make ppl go WOW! Still Wide n still got bokeh. Anyway, since ur spending big money, go try it at the shop la. Surely they wont say no testing for a rm6k decision.

go jalan jalan KL streets

yes tried the 35L in the shop and love the color and bokeh, maybe 24L is better on FF cause is wide. but FF not my future so maybe just stick with 35L at the moment. well, maybe u r right about everyone get the 35mm look but sure not many can get the nice 1.4 bokeh...hahah......just kidding, dont stab me

Actually i like taking camera around to shoot some small objects or more easy to say is simply but perfect shooting...do i really have to get a macro lens? or normal lens will do for beginner?

just invest on macro lens, tammy 90 is not too bad for beginner but got the bucks get canon, depend what you shoot most and decide yr focal length. the canon 100mm macro is a good choice for most macro shot but for sensitive bugs or so, get longer focal length.

the tammy 90 and canon 100mm around how much price range?

yes, let's gather and shoot the gears that we got....

Added on June 7, 2010, 12:08 pmcheck shashinki and yamiya for the usual price and walk around lowyat or GS to check the price.
or you like to take my canon 100mm cause hand itchy wanna up to L....wakakak
pm me if interested....opss

Plenty of ppl got that look on crop for cheap by using Sigma 30mm f1.4. That's y I say get the 24L coz there's no cheap alternative to a 24mm f1.4 lens. Anyway, if uve tried n like the 35L by all means get it. As I always say, BUY BUY BUY!

opss.....you got me there...make me wondering now.....hahaha
maybe i'd also go and try out the 24L

try raynox 250 filter or those cheap hoya +4 diopter filter to get some macro "kick/feel"
Jumping on the macro wagon and spending huge amount of $$ on lens without knowing anything is deadly

This post has been edited by nicotine: Jun 7 2010, 01:00 PM

Lens such as EF 50mm f/1.8 cannot be calibrated because it does not contain the electronics to accommodate calibration data. When I sent in my lens, none of the lens are calibrated, only my camera. Lens are only calibrated when they out of specification, which hardly occur.

Yea, that's the thing. I hate the waiting part.

I'll suggest 10-22 over 11-16 too for it's versatile range.



35L is a sick glass. Razor sharp and the range on a cropped sensor body is aweeeeesome.

Don't poison people too hard la. LoL. 24L can kill people straight.

If you are looking for night walkabout lens, you won't go wrong with 24L Mark II. This is one of my favorite among my 16 lenses. Love the sharpness. Simply beautiful!

I afraid one week isn't enough. isk.

After several ins and outs, it'll not be that stiff.

50 f1.2 L or The Mighty One(50mm f1.0 L) on a cropped sensor body is a little too long, at least for me.

Buy both, 35L and 24L and problemo solved

Sooner or later you'll join the ff side. Then you'll love 24L even more.

For a quick start, get a Raynox close up filter

Alternative for 24L2 is the Nonac 28mm f2.8. But the IQ is ahem.

huh raynox lens?

It is an add-on macro filter, not a lens.
Very nice to play with, suitable for macro newbies.
I bought it just for fun, to play macro sometimes.
I bought at only RM 240.

so do i have to put 18-55mm lens only can add the macro filter?

i would go 10-22 also.

yeah but what to do, that one below RM 1k can get mah.

got another, 28mm f1.8. that one RM 1k+

Or get a real macro lens. Popular ones are like EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro. Can use for portrait and macro shooting. Does not really break your pockets too.

yes...itu filter put in front of your lens, but not limited to 18-55mm

the Raynox DCR 250 works fine with 18-55 and 50mm lens, and any other lenses that are less than 67mm in diameter on the front element.

BUT due to the nature of the product, some zoom range may render it unusable. others may end up including the parts of the filter to enter the frame, making 4 black corners (no, it's not vignetting).

i end up using Raynox DCR 250 to troubleshoot motherboard, eg the LGA pins bent or whatever. helps magnify the view.

really kentang emas, use rm240 punya magnifying glass

This post has been edited by samlee860407: Jun 7 2010, 03:38 PM

got 1 time the motherboard really refuse to work, so end up the DCR 250 magnifying glass used to view the pins to check for damage. spotted some misaligned pins (it was an LGA1366 board i think) so take blade and adjusted all back to normal.

also useful when i want to video small small things.

Seems like it's quite useful too other than photography XD

yeah it is. can go use it to burn ants or whatever insects if you want.

if got skin problem, maybe can use it to do skin treatment personally.

Then I would persuade my mum to buy one to replace her magnifying glass

at RM 250, she could buy probably 20 - 40 magnifying glasses and place it every where in the house, in every bag, in every car ...... and still can populate the other relatives' house wor.

not raynox 250 right?

This post has been edited by ginolo: Jun 7 2010, 05:00 PM

i don't think so. Raynox DCR 250 is RM 250 only - don't expect it to be so power.

he probably just got himself a 100L + extension tubes or something. MP-E5 or whatever possible. donno him....... certainly not DCR 250.

^ nope, not raynox, but i would love to stack it on my tamron 90 for higher magnification

equipment used- tamron 90 F2.8, 5dMkII, 430ExII, hoya +4 filter, OC-E3 cord.

The second picture was good, symmetric.

Myself going to get the Tammy 90 once I have the funds. I should be a Tamron ambassador.

Tamron 90 is within 67mm? the raynox can only fit till 67mm.

haha. Why do you want to fit the Raynox to the Tammy 90? I'm not sure about the filter thread size, guessing it's 52/58ish mm. Can always check with Uncle Google.

for higher magnification??

well the cheaper alternative is the Sigma 24 f1.8 while the aperture might not be as big, it performs great at an affordable price

yeah bro, 1:1 tarak enuff, higher mag can get much more refined details

oh, i didn't know SP 90 can fit on FF body.

cheh you show off i tot you buy something new liao.

Added on June 7, 2010, 5:24 pmyeah but hor, Raynox severely reduces MFD and DOF.

IQ leaves much to be desired lor, usable la in some cases.

for me i have +4 close up and Raynox - i use +4 close up more than Raynox.

@goldfries,

according to tammy site, all lens with the "SP" label were compatible with FF

aiii me bankrapppp ler no new toy to show off ... me not fisherman ler hehhee

serious? this means SP AF17-50mm/2.8 XR VC / non VC Di II LD Aspherical (IF) also can?

no la, cannot be.



from what I gathered, it depends on Di or Di II.

Di II = APS-C
Di = APS-C + FF.

notice your SP 90 is Di, not Di II

btw you can scroll to the bottom of their product page, it will state.

SP doesn't indicate anything about mounting.

oh yah kar hehehe thanks for the correction and sorry for the misleading info

Will the close up filter reduce the MFD? Planning to get 1, but dono want +10 or +4

Greedy fellas, I haven't been poisoned by the MPE-65 yet. haha.

SP for Tamron is like L for Canon.

the lens does not work as it is once you place something to modify the absorption of light.

heheh dig for mpe65 shots @t flickr by macrojunkie, lordv or orionmystery... those details kau kau, 1:1 by tamron, canon, sigma totally no fight

SP is like L ... this one i gotta disagree, tamron color reproduction is far far away behind canon L's

i think what he mean is that SP = Tamron's premium line up la. not saying it's L like.
