Hello all sony maniac~ hehe i have some question wanna ask,
1. i using A380, if i using Sigma/Tamron lens 17-75 with macro is it 1:1 macro? its a nice lens or not?
2. for A380 maximum ISO is how much? kinda lot noise during night shoot.
3. how to check shutter count?
4. a camera quality getting worst when how much shutter count??
5. there are no 49mm close up filter?

17-75 with macro is it 1:1 macro?is not 1:1 macro lah

1. 17-75 =O? Didn't heard that lens before, about macro magnification most of the Zoom Lens with macro ability usually has around 1:4 ~1:4.5 Magnification expect long focal zoom like 70-300 macro series would have 1:2 Macro Magnification

2. A380 has max ISO of 3200

3. I'm not sure but you can look at the playback display where it has the number of many you take

4. Not sure for this either xD

5. For 49mm, you can get the Raynox 250 (compatible from 49mm-67mm) Macro filter

tmj : for 49mm filter thread usually only have UV, but i saw someone selling Hoya +4 close up at Photomalaysia before. for me i just use step up filter 49--> 55mm as 55mm easier to find filter

4. usually when u reach 150000 shutter count. but by the time u can reach that number, its about time u change ur body.

or just replace the shutter mechanism

has anybody here actually reached that amount and change their shutter before?

not sure if they reached that amount. but met few that have their shutter replace dy

i mean this lens http://shashinki.com/shop/sigma-1770mm-f28...facturers_id=42

how much would that cost ha?

rm1520

This lens kah?

Well from the specs, it mentions the lens have 1:2.3 magnification which is good enough macro capability for still live and flower but downside for the lens is the aperture of F2.8 only limits around 17mm~20mm?

I think you can try to research it at Dyxum.com about the performance of this lens

bro, i was asking about the shutter replacement, lol..

and as for ur lens...

"In addition, the maximum magnification of 1:2.3 also enables close-up photography. "

read la the description.

huh i tot i saw this one before at Japan. price only 16k yen (used one la)
here sample i got at 17mm f2.8 when trying this lens

IMHO : not sharp at wide open, for that price better get tamron 1750 f2.8 fix or tamron sp90

p.s : try ur luck to tengok the price of the lenses ther

looks bad la.

japan has cheaper lens compare to msia??im going on nov...

zstan : haha

achew : actually not cheaper, some are more expensive than here. like if you can zoom into the pic you can see the used CZ1635 is sold for about 200k yen (near rm7000). the one's that are cheap are probably old lenses like minolta, old tamron, old sigma. but i'm quite lucky got to buy a lens for much much cheaper price , quite new used for 1 week only the buyer made review of the lens then sold it off. But if you're looking for body , damn cheap , a550 used for 50kyen, a700 used for 50kyen...

THere are 2 types of electronic goods sold in japan, Local and International. Local ones are cheaper but the interface, language all in Japanese. The international ones the price are quite expensive, but still the warranty only cover in Japan.

yeah i hv thinking of sigma17-70 and tamron 17-50 2.8f, but i wanna know the near range comparing sigma and tamron which 1 nicer? i mean the macro effect

tamron 17-50 don have macro
