how much is the lenses u gona get ??

I just love sharpness!!..xD
i budget 800..any other choice??
Yup..wide macro..

50mm f1.4
guys, which brand of compact flash do you guys using now and how much?

sigma 28mm f/1.8..... which the seller FFK me say wan sell to me, mana tau before COD day he say he sold to another person d ><

all lens when reach further extend (zoom in) will slowdown in af. no matter ssm or magic motor.

if you are asking about the SSM/USM in lenses,then YES,they are faster & more quiet than screw driven lenses. For SAM,I feel the AF speed is same or sometimes lower than screw-driven    Sometimes depends on the lens also,my tamron 17-50 f2.8 is much faster than SAL1870 

I see!   I thought mine got problem alrd. Haha! Thanks sifu!
Hmm. You comparing the 1750 with the 1870?   You mean the 1870 no motor in lens?

Yea, SAL1870 has no motor in lens. The new 1855SAM kit lens has the SAM motor in its lens

Omg. I see.

ier..may i know how long would you need to calibrate camera? ><

Omg. I see.

2 min. i pro already ma

doesnt matter anyway since all alpha bodies are screw drive lens compatible... there's no big issue about it.. unlike Nikon's entry level bodies, which only support lenses with in-lens motor

u didnt know meh? thats why 1870 always gear stripped.

Perasannya.

EHEM

the reason the tamron 1750 is fast, because its F2.8. not the lens F2.8 but the aperture is wide open at F2.8 during AF, which give more light = better reading, so the camera can ask the lens to go faster.

try using 1855SAM, 1870(screwdriven) and 1750(screw driven) at day light, all three cant tell the speed diff. but once night, the darker F3.5-F5.6 lens surely will suddenly become tikus and go slower.... it happen on 70200G vs 70300G, the 70200F still go at faster speed at night compare to the 70300F @ 200mm F5.6 on the same body.

so the aperture of the lens does affect the speed, like how my tammy is faster then 1680cz at night.
