lol it's the cheapest lens in the market out there also hahhaa so definitely no other lens can beat it at that price range cause there's nothing to compare it with

agree, but i sold off mine to give way to 1.4

The 50mm f/1.4D is even better, sharper than the f/1.8D at the edges. The f/1.8D is too soft at the edge >(.

lol nvm.. important parts are right at the center poor man's toys

Not really obvious on crop sensors, but if used on FX can see the differences clearly.

but at f1.4 the focus is too narrow if doing a close-ups, sharp at f2, but i like how the light blends at f2.5

Grab it! Hot deal! 9months old.. But as long as it's still works like a charm then by all means, get it..

now new set only cost 3.3k and free 4gb memory card,tripod,bag and maybe uv filter..

yeah i know, dats y i need more opinions on it. but how to test it? stil a noob here

just get it if every thing is ok!!

hey guys, a bit off topic. any of you know the value of canon digital ixus 90 IS? one year+ and in good condition. friend wants to sell it off. trying to help her get the price she should sell it at. there's not much information on the net.

the amount she bought over two?

lol. no wonder i can't find any reference. i think it's 90 IS not 9015

yeah, should be ard there. i saw some sold it new at 700 in oct last year. so told her 300-400? okay ah?

thnkas for the reply regarding the lens flare. after revisiting the place where i shot the photos with the flares and set up my camera like when i was shooting there i found the culprit to be a light bulb that was hidden in my view finder. so thanks all for the answers. i am now shooting without filters.

another question, i was offered an assignment, the pay is low but there is a catch to it. i have to choose a lens under rm500 (which is paid by the client) for the assignment and after the assignment i can keep the lens if they like the pictures if not i cant keep the lens but still get paid.

so i am thinking of the 70-300mm AF G lens since i will be shooting from from a spectator point of view of a show which is stage on an open air stage that is about 5 meters high.

anyone here think the lens is a good lens for the job or is there any other lens in that price bracket that can do the job better.

want to ask..can i charge my battery when there still ard 19% on it??
