assemble in thailand, most part still import from japan. circuit board still from japan. thai do not have hitech manufacturing yet.

should i get a 35mm f1.8 or 24mm first?

if 35mm i might be able to save enough money for the next few months............... for the Zeiss...maybe save until next year also tak dapat

get a 35mm f1.8 first.. haha

Wait 2 years, then get BOTH!!

*run away fast fast...*

zstan, ur on apsc rite?? i would say the 24 first lo...i have the 28 also sometimes i find its abit tight still

now pening.. everyone suggest differently..

lol. cannot wait 2 yearss laa... i still lacking one prime...


see how much money i can get from CNY first.

28mm on apcs is not tat wide... i once tried using the 28-200's 28mm, i almost fell cos not wide enuf...(was on a staircase)...

blowsh, I agree with u....thats y I recommend zstan get 24mm

well, zstan, I recommend u to visit more aunty uncles during CNY, who knows one of the uncle dig into the wrong pocket and inside got rm100 angpau, then u just need to find a few of these uncle can speed up your progress

if want wide.. just use tamron or kitlens ler..

zstan : If you want my opinion I would say get the 35mm first. Not because it's cheap but because both the 24mm and the 28mm on APS-C is frustrating to say the least. Like the others have said, it's not wide enough. Even 24mm is not wide enough. For wide you'll have to fall back to your kitlens.

With a 35mm on an APS-C you WILL KNOW even before you look through the viewfinder that it's NOT A WIDE lens. You will forget about getting wide shots straight off and concentrate on getting the shot on a normal focal length. Remember, 35mm on APS-C will give you roughly a view like a 50mm on a FF so that's a normal focal length.

Since you're looking for a prime, then the 35mm will make sense and will help you in your composition more than a 24mm can.

reason for new lens:
- i sorely lack a bright lens. f2.8 tak cukup if no flash. iso cannot pump too high.

reason for 24mm:
-bright
-good walkaround lens due to the focal length
-can use as portrait lens as well due to the really short MFD
-Zeissssssssssssssss & can be used 5-10 years later if i switch to FF
-but...EXPENSIVE

reason for 35mm:
-cheap and bright and light
-might be a bit too tight for other things besides portrait
-bright
