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.
*

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... hmm.gif
*

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.

well, 50mm+ is good for standard focal length, am i right? hmm.gif  if buy 50L on crop then not standard anymore.
*
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. thumbup.gif Anyway, since ur spending big money, go try it at the shop la. Surely they wont say no testing for a rm6k decision.

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
*
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! rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

1 thing is..

u buy a hoya filter than cost half of ur 50mm lens..

not worth la..

i think normal kenko filter would be enough

50mm f1.8 IQ oredi very bad, better just use it naked n dont degrade it any further with cheap filters.





QUOTE(ae8za @ Jun 8 2010, 12:18 AM)
Ask Mr Vikinglah the how much he got it for...  smile.gif
For me it's like buying Rolex, the price won't decrease but will increase over time. So basically, tidak rugi lor (but I won't pay more than RM13k even for a MINT one)...
That's why when I found a MINT 200L f/1.8 (The Holy Grail) I bought it. Now, I'm hoping to get 50L f/1.0 (The Mighty One), just have to wrestle with some British and Aussie guys...  flex.gif
The IQ is inferior than the 50 f/1.8 II wide open but no other lense can open up to f/1.0 except the Leica 50 f/0.95. Also the dreamy effect is out of the world... Very damn nice for portraiture...  thumbup.gif

How can it be inferior to the f1.8???? The f1.8 is absolutely horribleeeeeeeee

1D can just go out n buy anytime, anyday. Just go out to the camera shop "boss kasi 1 biji 1D". Bungkus in plastic bag n jalan. 50mm f1.0 even got money oso cant find.

Guys, since I'm leaving very soon to overseas to study(germany), but i wanna get a sigma 30mm/50mm over here before i go. Say the case i buy a 30mm

Grey set I found RM1450 6 months warranty
Local set 1800

I'm thinking about getting the grey set.
Although I'm not sure if local set is international warranty.

Read some reviews in amazon, so many of them complain about focusing problem. See already also scared ==

What body u using. If got AF Microadjustment, nonid to worry, just go home n calibrate urself. If dont have then just make sure u test the AF at shop before buying lor. Very easy to test oni ma. Anyway different bodies got different settings so u cant blame Sigma oso. My Sigma 50 needs +20 on my 5D2 n only +5 on 1D. So even same lens but diff body oso lari style 1. 1 fella lari marathon, 1 fella lari 100m. laugh.gif

Say if you send to Canon Paremba Square to calibrate, do you still maintain the microadjusment settings?

I never asked for calibration there coz I'm very happy with my own settings now. U ask them to calibrate body lagi pening. Come back that time hafta spend hours Microadjusting all over again.

Anyone know where to find abundant ready stock for sigma lens? I'd hope to get them from shop of course.. and price's a concern to me

When i went looking for mine, only Boeing got ready stock. The rest of the shops all dare not stock specialty lens 1. All oni wanna stock the zoom lenses.

what's so wrong about buying Alpha. I sure wouldn't mind having an A900 with all the lovely Carl Zeiss lenses like the 16-35, 24-70, 80, 135. Just take a look at the yummy Zeiss 135mm f1.8, it's so big n lovely it'll put the puny little 135L to shame. The 35G n 70-200G r nice too. And all those Zeiss lenses r modern designs meant for huge reso like the A900. A lot of the Ls r ancient already n need updates. Only problem is Alpha don't have weather sealing n the big whites that I like and no fast action cameras for sports photography.

Birdy, u know the name Nigel Barker? Does he seem like the "play, play & snap snap for memory only" type of photog to u? Yes, he's obviously a brand ambassador but if the product is no good, he is definitely not gonna endorse it for it will affect his pictures n his career.

I don't understand where this hatred for brands comes from. Let's not be fanboys n pls drop the hatred. There's no need to get all emo over a camera. It's just a toy. Some say tomatoe some say tomatoh, in the end still a tomato. smile.gif.

5d2 + kit = RM11k
24-70 = RM 5.8k
50mm f1.4 = RM 1.2k
16-35mm = RM 6.2k
100mm f2.8 IS = RM3.5k

total = RM 27.7k
