talk about "oversize/overweight/unbalance" of F58 on A33/55, seriously, its like how i complain the ugliness of the htc incredible S back with a bump... but after u get it and uses it, after a while, u kinda forgot u are complain, because u are overwhelm by the good photo the F58 assisted to provide.

PS: I really felt restricted not having my UWA with me. 

On the topic of filters... I went shopping for a UV filter a few days back. Was looking for a 55mm one and some shops really suck blood one!

The average price most shops offered for a Kenko 55mm UV filter is around RM140 to RM180! One shop every better, quote me a Hoya Pro 1D 55mm UV filter for RM250! Even when I try to bargain with them they refuse to lower the price.

I finally bought one Hoya HMC UV for RM 80. Tired of hunting already.

Is it the price of filters have gone up so much or is it just me?

blowsh, sigma ah?? super sharp can see the pores..... u standing very near to them??

zstan, this sellers 24-70 I check is cos when he clean he just wipe the front of the UV filter, he didnt bother to remove the filter to clean the inside..thus the ring bonded already....so imagine 2 years the filter never rotate to remove over time it makan lo..... I saw shashinki the price abit high compared to ebayer worr...i think i am ordering ebay

zstan: The rings binding has nothing to do with the frequency of cleaning or any chemicals. It is just friction.

Codyx: Well then, record a video of it hanging if you cannot put it in words.

You know lah how it is with people here, see one fella say "this camera can hang" or "A560/A580 can AF in video" straight away they believe without reading further. (Okay, so people are stupid, but don't laugh when you see your statement up in SonyAlphaRumors.) So you absolutely have to be specific.

Also, if you post how to make it hang, the rest of us can try to see if we can get it to hang, and figure out what makes it hang.

zstan: Whoa, that goes way back!

Though what the site says is the opposite:

Aluminium makes brass stronger and more corrosion resistant. Aluminium also causes a highly beneficial hard layer of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) to be formed on the surface that is thin, transparent and self healing.

Brass is a substitutional alloy. It is used for decoration for its bright gold-like appearance; for applications where low friction is required.....................Because it is softer than most other metals in general use, brass is often used in situations where it is important that sparks not be struck, as in fittings and tools around explosive gases(or filters for that matter).

I was wondering the siggy 50mm hsm's is not supported by sony cameras is it? Which lenses of sigma has hsm and is usable on sony cameras?

LOL at Microsoft for copying Apple, Java, Oracle..
now you get what I am saying.

all want 70-200...no one interested on 50-150??
