ahtiven : if you see lens with blue sticker say Zeiss just buy. approved by the World sony alpha user federation haha  laugh.gif .
nono.. thats the only cz sony DT lens for aspc, full frame cz lens on aspc dslr/t would have limitations yes? furthermore i cant afford so many lol.

was browsing in nikkon thread and came across someone posted 85mm f1.4 model portrait, really poisoning. wonder how much does it cost and the pic comparison between sony cz 85mm f1.4 that nikkor 85mm f1.4.

do people still use manual lens nowadays? o.O

haha i forgot to say imbalance is oso bcoz of its weight, probably you could balance in normal horizontal plane but in vertical is quite hard (probably for me  sweat.gif ). if you're shooting for 5-10 minutes ok la, try lugging it around the KLIMS that at least 1 hour 30 minutes. HEAVYYYY. oh ya im saying a33/a55 with kitlens. but its up to your own preference  nod.gif ur money maa  laugh.gif
*
i actually think f58 on a33/a55 is quite awesome minus the weight. like you said f58+a55+cz24mm. people would think "wtf nowadays flash also got built in sensor"

guys, i have a weird issue.

last night i was trying to capture some night views in the balcony. the "setting is like in the picture"

the pictures produces have spots on it, which are actually the dirty spots on the glass doors BEHIND me. sometimes glass doors reflection even. on/off filter, changing lenses.

somebody tell me that this is normal because i am a lil paranoid whether my lenses or camera got problem.

ahtiven: That is odd. Can you show us a picture?

Also, your area could just be dusty, so using a flash will show dust particles floating in the air.

pictures not with me right now.

hmm... there is actually an air cond compressor above the walls.

QUOTE(Newbieeeeee @ Dec 13 2010, 12:31 PM)
thats your lense / sensor got dust already. u're not shooting through the glass door.. it shouldn't come out.
*
that means dirty sensor/lens can only be detected via flash? i see. because twilight or off flash has no such issue. but then wat about the minor glass door reflections i saw last time..
