kuro0314, I would think that the SAL1635Z is an overkill on the A300.... but that is just me. The SAL1680Z DT would be more suitable. But if you do have fullframe in your mind as future upgrade, then the SAL1635Z is indeed a good option to consider. You simply losing too much wideness for the price you paid for the SAL1635Z. The telephoto range on the other hand benefits from the psuedo-extended range due to the crop factor. 300mm becomes 450mm and 400mm becomes 600mm on aps-c!!!

evilhomura89, Yes, Sigma's HSM is comparable to Sony's SSM in terms of its concept of operation. (Canon's equivalent will be the USM and Nikon's will be the SWD). btw, Sigma's 24-70 F2.8 HSM is also a very nice lense if the SAL2470Z is considered as being too expensive.

you mean 50-150 issit?

if not mistaken albert once told me that you can order with Leos trading in ampang...cant remember the exact shop's name...wait for albert to clarify...

I was thinking of the sigma 18-250 HSM for kuro to replace his 18-55 and 55-200
you'll attract lots of attention

im selling off my Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 DG though if anyone's interested

william, how much?

hi, im new to camera. in fact know nothing about it. is song A55 good? i'll be using for years so might as well go for the good one. btw, can it be used in cold weather like japan?

i don't see why it can't operate in cold weather
unless you're thinking about going somewhere where temp can be as low as -20 degree celcius

kopitiam, UGPM

its a very capable camera.. awesome video, not even found in any other brands of camera out there

looks nostalgic, would be better if added a blending layer of film dust and a slight noise

food pic spam~

testing baby beercan... does it have the minolta colours?

borrow your dusty filter

I find it hard to get a interesting picture using this perspective, sometimes its good but it tends to get boring after a while
unless there's an object up there or the canopy is unusually unique

dust effect no nice one no ppl like it ppl will ask u, lens dirty, very care dust some ppl haha

oh. im not sure is related to weather or not. im currently using a canon compact camera. in malaysia, even though i put it there for months, there will still be some power left in the battery. in japan, today charge, tomorrow habis even though i dont use much

so is A55 a good choice or bad one?
