gearhead reporting in......
anyway i have a sony a500 + 1680, I wanna buy one lens now already, but not sure for wat...this mostly would be for portraiture , like doing nice creamy, smooth, background bluring for frens or colleagues or even pc fair or even the real portrait shoots, if i ever get to go another one....

i have tought of the few below, but not sure how good....i would like the subjects to be sharp preferbly at wide open and the bokeh/backgroudn to be smooth and uncluttered

50mm f1.8 ~ aiyo
35mm f1.8
85mm f2.8
SP 90 f2.8
70-210 f4 beercan (i think this is comparable to white knight brand 70-200 f4l??)

the above few is what is under consideration lo......

Codyx: Unconventional framing of the Petronas Twin Towers, not sure I like it.

ahpingko: No point also converting from RAW to TIFF unless you want to make a good backup. TIFF is just a high quality JPG without the ability to retweak your WB etc.

mintii: Nice #2! Now if only the thing on the right was not in the scene.

lanusb: For the best bokeh, get the Sony 135mm F2.8/T4.5 Smooth Transition Focus. However it will be too long for PC Fair range shooting - PC Fair is easier with a 35mm F1.8. A cheap and practical telephoto option would be the 85mm F2.8.

hi albnok, iwould like to get the STf but its out of my budget and if i am reaching there i think the 84 f1.4 should be sufficiend though........... anyway i did consider the 85mm f2.8 but will the 2.8 be sufficient?? since that i need to 1-2 stop down to achieve sharper picture..... as far as i am comfortable, i have been doing 1-2 stop down for all my cameras to achieve sharper pics....so far didnt dare to use on wide aperture, unless really needed.

hazril, yea i was considering those two. but looks like time to go uncle chin to play n test again??
