Hey, i have a Sony a500 and i want to buy a 50mm lens for portrait, which should i buy?

cassplayer, is that the lv wrapper?? then u go wrap the lensh ood???

Hi everyone. NEX 3 user here, mind if I join this thread instead of NEX? Sony Alpha NEX ma, can join either right?

I'm the dude who bought cassplayer's SAL55200 on page 111 of Alpha Thread V49. Just thought I'd update you guys on it, without meaning any harm to cassplayer (buy 2nd hand sure have these little problems right?).

The lens' aperture was not stopping down. I sent the lens to Cheah Camera Repair shop and just got it back today. He said the aperture spring was rusty and broken. he also didn't know it could break Repair cost RM120 FYI. I suck at bargaining  Thanks cassplayer for the RM50 refund, that was very nice of you

Here's a sample pic I took of my dog. NEX3 + SAL55200 + Fotodiox A-mount adapter. Quite noisy bcos ISO1600 and not very bright place, plus I suck at noise removal I'm liking the lens

Also want to dispel some ideas that the 3rd party adapter can spoil the lens aperture. I don't think it will, but if it breaks again and it seems like the adapter's fault I'll update you guys again

Cheers 

yeah.. and i suck at football/futsal

a55 or new flash gun or Zeiss 24mm or macbook pro or donate to cassplayer?

Maybe u could use an orange flash gel?

i got mine at Rm 650 very good condition with many months warranty. Get the F58 from the Melaka shop in Garage sales. Rm1k only. Cheap!
