wow..RM6699...err...better skip tis lens for now...

fluorine coatings are famous for oil and water repelling, so when wiped off, it will leave very little stain, making cleaning much faster and easier.

not 54xx?

ohhh..thanks..

but look on the bright side lo...i saw my frens 50mm box sungguh kecik, like not enough protection ....sony one slightly bigger with thicker box padding ehaheheea

i think after taking the lens OUT from the box, the box dunno will go where edi lor.. AND its more environmental friendly to have lesser paper/cardboard

d4rkholeang3l: Something is off with this series.

Mikeshashimi: Your laptop has cached it; remove the WWW from the URL, or add the WWW to the URL.

I have also disassembled a kit lens but have had absolutely no time to figure out how to reassemble it. Good work! That is exactly what gear stripping is.

ahpingko: What zstan meant is to block the pop-up flash from hitting the subject, but the pop-up flash must bounce from the card to the sensor on the flash.

blowsh: The Sony 50mm F1.8 DT SAM has a major, major difference from the Nikkor/Canon 50mm F1.8. The Sony focuses to 34 cm close while the Nikkor/Canon does 45 cm. That 11 cm means you gotta lean back if you want to shoot food on your table.

albnok: i dun get wat is meant by "That 11 cm means you gotta lean back if you want to shoot food on your table."
Does it mean that u have to move away from the food? i tot 34cm is how close it can focus, then 34cm should b better then 45cm rite?

plus Canon 50mm F1.8 only have five non-rounded aperture blades (some of my fren always complaint about this lol)n nikon 50mm F1.8 dun have AF motor tend to be cheaper than Sony 50mm F1.8 got 7 circular blade n have AF motor..

yeah its better.

you misinterpreted what albnok said la.

in simple terms, for C/N, u need lead further away to shoot your food compared to the Sony 50mm.

blowsh: Yes, 34cm is closer than 45cm. The last sentence was meant for the Nikkor/Canon heh. So the Sony gets closer and is more convenient.

I dunno who I can lend leh xD .... need to looking for shops but they dun have the rent services for Sony Alpha lens :{ ....
