Guys, talking abt A580....recently i was in langkawi and i walked in to a camera shop. Asked the person for A580 and she said got stock, but what shocked me, she said the price was RM2000 for body only!!! shocking.gif Boleh percaya ar? If only i had the money at that time sweat.gif ...if not i would have asked for more details, cause she asked, "mau angkat ka?"

I have the Tammy 17-50 as well...i would say its a good lens generally....but from my experience of using it, here is what i notice:

1) Its not sharp at F2.8
2) Its hunts for focus under low light sometimes even in normal light condition.
3) Color wise, its not as contrasty as a CZ or a G lens...so need to touch up in PP.
4) Bokeh is so so la...
5) Range is short, when u need it the most.... sweat.gif
6) AF is noisy, but i don't care ler... laugh.gif
7) Its not so suitable for potraits ler...cause when i shoot lets say at 50mm, F4...the bokeh not so nice (like halfway thru... unsure.gif )....its ok though if u shoot at 50mm, F8 - F11...but i still feel the picture is abit soft.

I've been using it as my primary lens, since i only got that lens and the kitlens (18-70) shakehead.gif which i dont use! Hahahaha....but if i have the finances, i would get the 50mm F1.4 (for potraits) and the 70-200mm F2.8 G drool.gif for long range tele on a separate body (maybe an A850) so that it can complete the range. Tammy 17-50 on APSC is 25-70mm and 70-200mm on FF......hahahahaha.....i know abit ambitious... whistling.gif tongue.gif
I shoot events and weddings alot...that's why i choose the set up as the above....so anybody wanna sponsor me? brows.gif cool2.gif

but wouldnt using a tele lens on an APSC gives u further range with its crop size factored in? and if you want to go wide, use the FF...

Hey ya la...never tot about that.... doh.gif laugh.gif Thanks for giving the idea...hehehe....btw, i will not worry about that yet, i need to find a way to finance those gears! hahahaha.... cry.gif Btw, thanks William... notworthy.gif

Work more, get more money, therefore more gear. Well few more days before me getting my f58am..

Now thinking of getting either 35 f1.8 or 70-300 for tele. Would be fun having tele lens which i need for scenery or views when there is a crowd.

True, true...must work harder! flex.gif I already have the cobra though....good shyte that cobra! Trust me...u would never see the flash the same way again.... nod.gif rclxm9.gif ....trust me, when i shoot, i really feel the need of a tele lens....because many times i have encountered situation, where i cant move in close to subject or not enough time to get to the subject.... mad.gif
