QUOTE(Mikeshashimi @ Oct 7 2010, 01:00 AM) haha... I dont know about the lenses.. But the a33 for future wife sounds good. Haha. I think sifu albnok once said he prefers the 100mm macro over the sp90... But i could be wrong, if so, my apologies. A33 body is so small, sesuai 4 women. plus i can use as 2nd body.. ha ha..   please sifus, guides me on macro lens... what about SIGMA 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 DG Macro LENS?

QUOTE(Mikeshashimi @ Oct 7 2010, 01:20 AM) I dont think that sigma is a proper macro lens. Just a telephoto with macro function IINM. if so, im considering to buy the minolta fixed lens then... |

QUOTE(lwliam @ Oct 7 2010, 01:24 AM) proper macro lenses are mostly primes... 30mm f/2.8, 50mm f/2.8, 60mm, 90mm, 100mm, 200mm... Minolta 100mm F2.8 macro lens im buying dis for 1100... is it ok?these mostly provide 1:1 macro capability |

QUOTE(albnok @ Oct 7 2010, 11:23 AM) freaky_deity: Good idea! Minolta 100mm F2.8 macro lens vs Sigma 105mm F2.8 macro which is better?Cheaper and better macro? No, not for insects. Anything better is more expensive, and anything cheaper isn't better. The Tamron 90mm F2.8 is popular, but you get a shorter working distance, which means you have to be nearer to the subject at 1:1. This does not help when shooting insects! Better is the Sigma/Tamron 180mm F3.5 Macro - you can be a lot further from the insect at 1:1, but it is not cheaper! The cheapest macro is the Sony 30mm F2.8 DT SAM Macro, but this is for closeups of small objects and fine details, not insects, as it gives a normal angle of view. Very suitable for product shots. The Sigma (or Sony) 50mm F2.8 Macro is meant for full-frame due to its angle of view. The 28-300mm is not a real macro but you can buy it for the range. I would prefer the Sony 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DT. |

QUOTE(albnok @ Oct 8 2010, 02:53 AM) freaky_deity: MFD? what r u suggesting?The Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro's MFD is 29cm. The Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro's MFD is 31cm. The Minolta/Sony 100mm F2.8 Macro's MFD is 35cm. You get to be 6cm further away from the insect, with the Minolta. |

QUOTE(Mikeshashimi @ Oct 8 2010, 10:53 AM) MFD is minimum focus distance ma... owh, didnt get the acronyms... ha haso with the minolta you get to be an extra 6cm away from ur subject (normally insects). so the insect wont be scared off. |

QUOTE(ProX @ Oct 12 2010, 11:07 PM) freaky_deity - mind me asking what do you mean by hard to control? What is your suggestion for good macro+potrait lens? ive tried using minolta 100mm once (this is rare product), i believe it is easier to capture..when i tried using sp90mm... so hard, always come in blur... (maybe im wrong ha ha)  ask the sifus..
