10m is awesome when you have plenty of room to shoot candid moments with people not noticing you. Well, that's just me.

i dont think its 10 meter leh, 10 meter i think can shoot till knee already

Haha! I'm trying to take a bite out of everything really... I'm looking for a high quality low light prime which is wider than my 50mm to use indoors as well as a good portrait lens.
The portrait lens takes higher priority as I think that the CZ24 kinda overlaps with my 1680Z.
Despite it now having an advantage of 2-3 stops over my current 1680Z (worth getting now), rumours about the upcoming 16-50mm f2.8 Zeiss that is coming as a kit with the A77 will make owning a CZ24 kind of useless (for APSC owners) as the only advantage is the extra stop of light (Provided that the IQ of the 1650Z meets the high standards setted by the Zeiss Zooms). (makes the CZ24 not worth getting for APSC owners?)

Yeah... I mean using it to skodeng.

if you're suitable with half body to head potrait --> go for 50mm f.14

if close up potrait --> 35mm/28mm/24mm

if full body better for 85 f1.4 / 85 f2.8 / 135 f2.8 / STF / 135 f1.8

if want combination of full body + close up/zoom in = 70 200 f2.8

if suddenly want macro can get TC for 70200

mastering89: Oddly I go the opposite - wider angles for full-body and telephoto for closeup. Though wide-angle for closeup and telephoto for full-body is nice, too!

yuhi: Then the Sony 35mm F1.4G and Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC is just right for APS-C with enough light-gathering power.

anyone have using this b4? Sony FDA-ME1AM Magnifying Eyepiece

yuhi: i checked on ebay.com.au cheapes around 248 or so...
how much in malaysia RRP?

Thanks for your suggestion guys. I think I'll wait it out. Haha! Wait till I see how a beast the a77 is going to be. Then I'll only buy a lens to accommodate it=] haha!

you mean 35mm?

Yeap

Zaloon RM690 , SonyStyle RM899

Photography .. long way to go

thank you!

seems like 70-200 is the must-have lens if you have the money

heavy ohhhhhhhhhhh

BINGO!i couldnt agree more

i left my 70-200G at home when shooting weddings bcoz of the weight.i cant stand holding the lens all day long since weddings always be a tired day.using a monopod is not a good solution since its hard to move.so i bring along only the 85mm for the tele,as i can walk around for zooming!

but for other purpose such as sports,stage event and also some tight spaces,only i bring it!

we can DIY a fader ND filter by stacking 2 CPL filters? how how?? Worth making one using 2 cheap cpls? Then 2 in 1 wor. Cpl + fader ND...

that's the concept behind the fader ND - two polarizing filters
you'll probably get vignetting cause the CPL are too thick

erm if u get 2 cheap cpl, ur iq on long shutter will be F****d up badly, damn soft~
if u buy 2 hoya HD CPL, u better off buy 1 ND fader, cheaper lol
