Gear head in making lol~

Anyway, i would prefer the Tammy 17-50 over the CZ16-80.

The cz 16-80 offers slight sharpness overall but for its pricetag, can get another F58 lol.

The 16-105 however, is a pretty good walkabout lens. Hurmp....

so what are you going to do now? buy panacanikon and pay the premium so that every lens you get in the future have to have built in IS? when EVERY single lens u buy for alpha system from 8mm fisheye to 500mm tele is stablized..

Nvm. He can afford it ma......

buy now,regret later...

guys, 85mm n 135mm are portrait lens, rite? but then i found that it's very tight for portrait example in studios. does the portrait lens mean head portrait?

Nono. Not planning to jump ship. no plans to jumpship for the next 10 years. Just wanna know whether its really better or.. you know.


i thought a flash coult fix the problem?

portrait lenses doesnt necessary mean shooting head shots... its portrait because it is very easy for the lens to separate the subject from the background making the subject pop out from the clutter in the background. in studios, i'd prefer to have a 50mm for apsc or 85 for FF - thats for me.



this was shot using 135mm... notice that its a half body shot...

This topic had been discussed alot.

IS in lens would be slightly better as you can see a steady view from the OVF/EVF compared to stabilization in body which depends solely on the tilt-shift sensor to snap the accurate moment.

Pardon me if I did not explained correctly.

flash is not the answer to every low light scenario... imagine in a high class candle lit restaurant... you're there to cover an event. are you going to blast the night away with flash? 1stly everyone will be annoyed... 2ndly, you can say bye bye to your ambient already

ic.. tqtq. i oso think 50mm work better for apsc in studios.

I agree with this. Thanks, got yr point on why F2.8 is better.


I see. So its just the seeing laa?

Frankly, I don't give a damn bout IS in lens or body. Most important for me is the shot comes out perfectly the way I want it.

Blasting flash is not a very good idea in posh places. Most likely you will piss people off. That's where the f2.8 helps alot.

not only the 'view' in the OVF of course... its main reason that in-lens IS is better is because IS, VR, OIS, they are all designed and tuned for optimized stabilization on the very lens they are in. whereas SSS is one setting fits all... so you do the math..

No matter what also, which type of stabilization, both does helps and therefore, if the photographer is good, then he is able to use any.

So far, I have not much problem with the SSS or any other type of IS from diff brand camera.

But its rather good to have a stable view at the end of the tele lens.

Right.

If you are using A700, then the original BG is better for you

If you are using cheapo camera like me, Phottix one also boleh jadi la.

I see. Is it because of the buttons? Easier for the local AF eh?

Something like that la. Plus A700's BG is made from magnesium or something solid, i think....

compare this



to this



and this

Singapore don't have good price except Sigma lens are cheaper
