heard the sal16105 is extremely sharp at wide angle, but extremely soft at telephoto. Anyone who is owning or owned this lens can clarify this?

'extremely' soft is an exaggeration la sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

Speciically to Newbieeee:

After much of my complaints of my tamron 17-50 backfocusing, I've decided to live with it and move to manual focusing to save my shots.

After one or two months fiddling with the MF, I can safely say that I am getting much at MF now even with my tiny a300 MF. If done carefully and slowly the success rate of about 80%? laugh.gif

So with this limitation, it has really taught me a new chapter in photography. biggrin.gif now trying to improve my MF speed.

And from experience, the lens has very good centre sharpness when shooting at f2.8 under GOOD LIGHTING. Under dark conditions, then you can see it's gettingsofter. I think all lens are like these, maybe ier or albnok can clarify.

lol no offense but, thinking that a 35mm(on APS-C) still doesn't make it a wide prime, although it is wider than a 50mm prime. wide primes are those below 35mm le.. 24mm,28mm or 16mm for that matter...

i scared the newbie will get confused of what is wide focal length,what is ultra wide, what is normal , what is telephoto...etc..

sorry ya no offense blush.gif

got my a580+16105+BG. rclxm9.gif

In the end got 16105 rather than 1750. Cuz uncle chin say after few yrs 3rd pt coating will start to come off. He said if you have flash, 16105 and 1750 is about the same alrd. nod.gif

after few years i already change new lens lorrrrrrrr yawn.gif and, do you have flash now? rolleyes.gif

from north court, cross the bridge to the opposite building. otherwise, ask the information counter in MV.

My whole cam + 50 1.4 got soaked in beer just now sleep.gif Someone spilled a whole glass right onto my cam..

I've dried the cam now, what is the next step? A little of the liquid went through the focusing ring of my lens, will the stubborn sugar from the liquid lure fungus to feed there?

If u noticed, most reflection pics are taken at dawn, dusk or night...nt in daylight...
when the light is too bright, it would cover the reflection (or dark reflection will show up )
also,it depends on where the light source is from. if it's behind d mosque, impossible u can get a reflection from the angle mintii took.

well, i m nt a pro landscape photographer but dats what i learnt from experience.
reflections of lights on dark water surface is d best. other than that, it doesnt really appeal to me smile.gif

again,just my 2 cents biggrin.gif

what do you think about my shot?

it's taken at about 3pm when the sunlight is blazingly bright.

erm, i think the 135mm STF(36xx) is considerably cheaper than the Zeiss 85mm f1.4(50XX).
