ROFL, kysham, u wait... i get the SAL85 when it hits our shore.. blek!

Youu mean the RM800 85mm? Well, provided you don't compare them below f/2.8, then you shouldn't be able to see the difference at a quick glance I suppose.. but of coz what you pay is what you get, 4000 bucks vs 800 bucks, you know the math

ignores the lens used to take this pic, pays attention to black laces instead...

ok, time to hit the sack now.. waking up 4am tmr to catch morning flight to KK.. after settling my job, then tmr nite meeting with banzai san and KK alpha gang.. i'll send my regards for u lot

damn hot, jz back from shower...

actually its the shutter sound of the A100 last time that made me buy it wayyy back then... but after using it for some time and having get to compare with nikons and canons, i hated the A100 shutter for being SO indiscreet... everyone in the room will hear you everytime you press the shutter... like a shotgun going off if shooting in a quiet room.. ><

lol

i rather go nikon centre and burst 9 their D3x...

only now can go sony burst their a55... previously go burst the a550 only hahahha

none of our alpha cameras employ contrast AF, only found in other brands' dslr that have video mode. then again, they only use contrast AF when in video mode, not in normal image capturing.

it is the technology in the AF module itself you see the difference in AF speed in your dinosaur compared to my petroleum. do take note that A700 is older than your unit.

best explanation so far

me likes this one too...

you just need to know where to point the centre AF point when in backlighted condition. find of a high contrast edge. eg. the hairline vs the backlight... it will lock focus almost immediately. its only when there is flare that AF is harder to lock on... if that is the case, use your left hand like a lens hood to block out the light direction that is causing the flare, then lock focus, then u can take away your hand and fully press the shutter

all other alphas are have been using phase detect AF all the while, apart from the NEX

yuhi, resistance is futile..

MMU got meh? My time, ok ok only..

i hear of the word Atria also i shiver d.. boycott that place forever!

ieR, but dpreview's tests show that the full time AF isnt up to par when it comes to tracking fast moving subjects. its giving a low yield

ieR, referring to high fps still image shooting. but of course they are comparing it to the likes of D300s, D3 and 1DmkIV and the likes, as only those will be able to achieve fps of that caliber.

at some point, i do agree as well. where else would one need 10fps? and if at 10fps, the yield is low, why use it?

not sure about your's, but when i put my SAL1118 into my Minolta 7000i, it works fine. everything works, AF, aperture.. all ok... opened all the way at 11mm, will have vignette, it will be gone around 14mm, which is more than good... meaning its an actual 14mm on FF... not APS-C's 21mm equivalent.

the 550D exposure shifts when focusing, but then, both are different technologies... CDAF vs PDAF
