why have to press the lens release?

To prevent the 50mm to be detected by his A850 and revert to APS-C lol.

Something like that, I dunno how 2 explain properly.

just back from self poisoning session sending my camera to service and repair at sony style curve.

before that i tried to mount my flash gun and tamron 17-50 on the a55. OMG ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO LIGHTTTTTTTTT~~ rclxm9.gif  not forgetting that the 18-55mm is also hanging off the body of the a55.

all these add together i still can hold the camera with one hand for 10 minutes without any strain at all!

i may agree that this combo is ugly but the weightage distribution is very very nice and very well balanced. thumbup.gif

AF on the a55 was very very good as well. omg~~~

Time to buy, nothing much more to say laugh.gif

I have this question for some time...

People often critics(probably they just curious) about Sony Alpha Cameras...

When you asked any Canon or Nikon users they will probably have negative idea's for Sony's products..not because they grasp the differences but seems they never understand the detail from Sony products...

they just have bad view-point for it although they never experience one before

I clearly know Sony Alpha are practically/Mostly Entry-level DSLR's, And i know their "Like.No.Other" motto make them create something that purposely 'differ' from other competitors....

I need some Pro comments for this situation and some clues why such attitude or should i say...their disgust towards sony

Thanks in advance for all the comments i can get because i found this is a Serious Issue when an Alpha users met with other Nikon nor Canon pupil

thanks
*
This is common la nowadays. Just ignore their attitude. Some people using noob Sony camera can outperform those using expensive canon/nikon camera also. It's all in the photographer. The camera is just a tool to convey your ideas.

QUOTE(mcline_007 @ Jan 3 2011, 11:29 PM)
YEAH.... i wanted to ask the same question....tis happen to me, i was requested to be a 2nd photographer for a wedding event. so asked me wat camera i use, told them sony a550. so the Nikon user told me go for pro camera like nikon y use sony...its a TV brand... vmad.gif
*
Lol. If me, i would tell him it matters not what camera I use, rather what picture quality I produce >">

It's my sharpest lens to date, which tells a lot for a 2nd hand lens. I've been using it as my primary lens if I want a really sharp picture without bokeh. My lens of choice during PC fair girls stalking

But i thought the focusing is slow? Compared to others, at least. Might be tempted to get this over the Tammy 70-300 laugh.gif

-1. SAL70200G
0. SAL70300G

1. tamron 70300
2. SAL 55200 DT
3. SAL 75300

oh i'm sure i would have some use for it. i had a panny lumix dmc fz-28 with 18x zoom (equiv to about 27-486mm) and it was pretty handy for "spy shots". i like to cover all bases. both 17-70 and 55-200 should cover all bases. u'll never know...i might bump into a JAV actress or something.  brows.gif

Erm, The Tammy 70-300 performs quite well according to some owners here. I was about to get the 55-200 but then again, decided to get the Tammy 70-300 after CNY lol.

Very good esp if you want spy people with 70-300 from far. People won't notice lol.

Wondering if the Tammy will have USM on the 70-300 after this.

not sure leh, its a hardware issue, i think mac also like that, maybe i go try mac at macshop tomolo... but i dount i would like mac lor... i cant play my FO:new vegas.

i dont stack my project, but then each project does have over 300-500 pictures (wedding ma). dunno... maybe i too used to my old way of workflow using old software where it display 100% details photo in less then 1 sec, so i can scroll up down to compare with less then 1 sec, vs Lr which require more then 1 sec to compare/to change the photo. but then Lr has rating feature vs my old old software la...

or maybe its just me, maybe i am on the fastest track, coz i dont have other people to compare to. but my old c2d laptop is really really really slow la. but photoshop is fine.

Sidenote, Finished already FO:New Vegas smile.gif

Erm, Mac also will lag one if you use heavy processing leh. But my noob laptop can handle Lr3 with not much issues la.

after watching so many video of julienne, and other tutorial, yea, my pc is notice-able faster then theirs.... so, i think the 'slow-ness/lag' i notice is part of the way the program works? or the software is too advance beyond our current tech today? so i shouldnt complain for now....

offtopic: chiahau: sell everything covert to caps lor, i upskill my barter first, useful. for ammo, break down everything and make the ones u need. sell off heavier armor, useless coz u been eating constantly, u over heal urself all the time.
