Prime always is sharp one

bro, u dun need to shoot at f/1.8 all the time...
the 'sweet spot' for 50 mm is at f/2.2 - f/2.5

i usually shoot at f/2.2

nola..i just testing it...next time can use this as my macro-ing lens.... sharp enuf...

u shoot models using this lens at F2.2?...i found this lens bokeh quite smooth compared to F1.4...

usually i stick to f/2.2... but sometimes i stop down abit if i reach the fastest shutter speed and lowest ISO... (in day light )
or else nanti over exposed.. haha

yalo yalo. ..tat time i at redang daytime shoot using F1.4...my 550 ady at fastest shutter and lowest iso..still too bright..i put CPL onto it...

haha.. lolz... a550 lowest iso is 200
lagi cham , one stop brighter

yalo..eh..i found that this F1.8 minimum focus distance is shorter than the F1.4!..lol....but the lens hole is way smaller...and it is lighter..

the diameter oso smaller lolz.. haha

destfull, here are Sony Retail Prices:

Sony E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 Active OSS = RM2399

raynmay, thanks for the heads-up; you gotta ask a staff to open it so you can put your memory card in. In this case V12Kompressor was helpful!

signither: 18-200mm is a fair bit dark indoors. Will post pictures later!

clivengu: Love #26 and #27 (though with less from the top.) #29 is awesome though I'd prefer a less near perspective.

d4rkholeang3l: I like the stork shot! Particularly because of two reasons - it looks like it doesn't know where it wants to go, and your picture gives it space to go where it wants (as opposed to a picture of a racer where you know its exact path.)

e-jump: Nice #2!

evilhomura89: Don't read; look at pictures that you feel, have feel, and copy that.

ahpingko: I like the 50mm F1.8 for those same reasons - gets much closer, and has better bokeh.

Letting go my Cobra flash, anyone interested can have a look : http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1564422



Anyway, A550 has a tendency to over saturate red colors. Quite troublesome in this. Other users facing this problem mind to give some feedbacks?
