zstan: Peleng is not Opteka/Samyang.

evilhomura89: The Peleng 8mm F3.5 circular fisheye for FF has vignetting on APS-C.

The Samyang 8mm F3.5 diagonal fisheye for APS-C has no vignetting on APS-C (but vignetting on FF.)

ahpingko: Good to see your camera back! Is everything fixed?

Also, wow you got a insect (fly) shot with the 30mm! I wonder what other insects you can get with that - and whether you can start a trend where macro photographers try to shoot with wider macro lenses.

fansoption: Love the squares for the layout!

See my photo on the previous page..i m using 30mm macro..it is sharp even when at f2.8..but it is at the sharpest at f4..sharper than 50mm f1.8 i could say...nice as a walkaround lens..and its macro capability is nice coz it can go 1:1..but not for shooting bugs...

Yup..camera was alright..dial feels tighter..and they really changed the entire top panel..hotshot is new and shiny too..AF looked more accurate..but next week only can take my f42..

Ah my bad. Got mixed up with vivitar 8mm FE.

wow..very nice the photos how much is the price now? do u think DT 35mm F1.8 SAM or DT 30mm F2.8 SAM Macro Lens will be better walkaround lens? i am attract to it macro capability.. but f1.8 is also another attraction..

I would personally get the 30macro. Got macro and around 30-35mm also. not sure if the 1.8 is sharp at 1.8, but usually have to step down to maybe 2.2 before its sharp. 2.2 vs 2.8 not much difference lah!

Ahpingko can show you best haha

And if you are interested, you can get it from him also LOL..

The 35mm is sharp, and quite worth the value for the price you are paying..

It is quite sharp at f1.8 still, stopping down 2 stops to f2.8 is quite pointless, don't you think? You are getting a fast aperture lens to shoot at that aperture, not to stop it down for more usable picture -,-

Anyway, who here knows how to contact mr. Sony's sales department, please PM me thanks.

Thank You.

thank you for ur comment! think will go for macro lens first...cos macro shoot is another good extra feature
sales dept from kl? i only know a guy from east msia..but need check tomolo in office..

for me, that 30mm more suitable for walkaround lens..as its best feature, the macro , basically give u no minimum focus distance...it can focus even on 1cm range...haha...best for food or flowers photography...but not for bug macro-ing...i tell u, u can go near until the bug is on your lens..and i dont tink u will wan that...if u wanna macro bug, then need to take sp90..else 30mm is damn nice....btw, i tink i dont wanna sell my macro lens d...

like 50mm, at F1.8 is not so sharp compared to 30mm at F2.8...macro lens always have the more sharpness over normal prime..if u get 1.8 lens and stop until F2.8, it is pointless...it is better if u get 30mm and use at wide open which is F2.8.. btw, F2.2 and F2.8 got difference....in bokehness..haha..

at F1.8 really not so kuat...yesterday when shooting danbo, i got do experience d...on my 50mm...really saw difference...

Prefer KL yea haha....

Well, gotta work work work later then -,-

Pm me if you got any info and thanks. Lol.

All spamming macro shots? I no feel for macro poison.. heehee..

Now for some mid telephoto poison. Namely the 85mm f2.8 SAM. I did some test shots and it's a lens I did not regret lusting after.

1. Wide open indoors.


2. Bokeh test shot indoors wide open.


3.


4. DOF at f2.8


5. It handles bokeh of distance light sources quite well too


6. Wide open outdoors at ISO 200. All the above are at ISO 1000


7.
