but can fit into pocket mer? lol about that part. u put the lens on a900 like no difference.

haha, looks like a cut scene from Gran Turismo 4

zstan : It has a 55mm filter thread. how big can it get? From the pics you can see that it's almost the same size as the 35mm lens and I think you'll be hard pressed to tell it apart from the 50mm f1.8 from a distance.

Don't compare with NEX pancake lens lar of course... but it's still small for a 85mm lens.

dont talk about jeans pocket la, jeans handphone also cannot fit la sometimes..

jacket pocket, bag side pocket.. all of those can easily slip in

Does anyone know how cheap are Ikea batteries in UK?

@ahpingko

you should learn more about macro shooting from different article first b4 you start asking which one to buy...macro wasn't tat easy to play...especially if you have handshaking issue ..sp90 or 100f28 macro wasnt tat easy for you to control..

A quick comparison, ignoring image quality:



finch!: I am liking your movie-like green processing.

Mikeshashimi: Eh? Hmmm I might've read somebody else saying 23 inches, my bad.

Now it would be nice if Sony would acknowledge the efforts and bring out their 500mm F4G SSM already! The Minolta 400mm F4.5G HS APO was a hidden gem, a lightweight telephoto (lightweight compared to similiar lenses in the same range.)

Zicron: The Minolta 600mm F4G HS APO looks different, more skinny and Star Trek-like.

zstan: Sounds like the salesgirl had a gentle face.

You could sue them for dissatisfactory results.

Uzumaki NaruTo: I sniped my sister's graduation from HELP with the Zeiss 135mm from a few rows back. Had to crop a bit, but it worked.

eugenechiuu: The 18-55mm is a lot better at closeups than the 16mm is. However when you're in a tight space, the 16mm will let you shoot a wider angle than the 18-55mm (e.g. your friend sitting right next to you.)

lwliam: Awesome pans, I like how streaked out the background is, compared to the regular sunny-day exposures.

@albnok

when the US price released means can estimate the price in malaysia already?

i normally tripod to shoot for close up 1....just wanted to get a macro lens ma...Sony 30mm F2.8 is how?....

@albnok
well, she looks cute in a way.

really? i could sue them?how? hmmm...must consult my lawyer cousin.

the MFD of the 85mm is really insane!

can't wait to see how it fares against the CZ85mm 1.4 n the canon f1.2.

Wau! Looks like the Zeiss, 85mm and 35mm is a lighter + stronger magnification combo

that magnification mean wat?...

another GT4 cut scene look alike

SAL30F28 if shooting flower or toys will be fine...if you want to shoot insect then you need longer focus range..

wahh~ why all the short MFD comes from all this new primes on SAM? 50mm f1.8, 30mm f1.8 and 85mm f2.8~

@william
