i mana ada cucuk u  because u like to post statement without sources, and does funny claim (when u misunderstood the real feature) i just asking only...

btw, the price drop claim, please state it nicely, i also can say because i buy 70200G+1635+2470+135+85, super combo package + special discount, and i have 5 rm300 coupon, after deduct, my A77 i only pay rm300.... that isnt the right way to count it right?

1650 definately has goodness in it, with SSM, weather seal etc, but some of us, doesnt has the budget to go for it, so we settle with tamron, dont say tamron not good, because, my tamron (which i sold off) was one of the sharpest tamron around, few people touched and tested it, they know. even zstan's camera after calibration, his tamron as sharp as 16105 (i dare to claim it!) tamron seriously is not that bad. because u didnt try it, or read the reviews of tamron which is the canon/nikon version (which sucks) u cannot compare it with sony's mount version.

the 1650 is not at 2k, that is bundle price which usually is a 20% off from RRP (like A550+1680, the 1680 was valued at 2400), so the RRP is not that low. and i will know speculate the prices (or price drop) without solid proof (even thou i know the 1650RRP price)

count so deep also no use, i know a lot uncle, friend who just buy from sony center with the rrp price, the rm200-300 cheaper street price dont bother them, because importantly, they get to use it already... and u are still there waiting for durian to drop.

i think my total shutter count reach 200,000 u still not yet get ur camera.

boss i'm stuck between this 2 lenses... any sample closed up using sony+tamron 17-50? i'm looking sharp lens for my jewelry photography..
thanks

You can't get nice jewellery pictures with 1750. It's not possible. Try the SP90.

tamron?? i seem it as pointless even budget is the concern. if you are saying back to the past, alpha user do not have much choice on walk around lens with 17-55 or 1650 range like in canon or nikon, i am agree to get copy of tamron. but now we do have new lens with latest tech. decent quality even in wide open, moisture sealed and most important cheapppppppperrr price.

Canon 1755mm f2.8 USM IS Rm3500 only (little expensive due to inbuild IS)
Sony 1650mm f2.8 SSM (Moisture sealed) RM2000 (but someone already offer at rm1850 in cari)
Nikon 1755mm f/2.8G IF-ED Rm4900 only
Tamron 1750mm f2.8 Non VC Rm1300? (i not sure, should be amost there)

you see the tamron is not dropping their price, the 1750 is getting old, out of perform by other. while i saw the different story for Voitlander 25mm f0.95 is drop their price like hell after panasonic introduce their leica 25mm f1.4 AF. It is really up to our own decision whether still want buy this copy. My take feel worthless. could rather save more few hundreds straight to get the Sony 1650 or get 2nd hand copy 18-55mm rm2xx to play 1st

a77 price is alr dropped lo, from rm4299 --> rm3999 --> rm3899 --> rm3700 -->rm3600

No source means it's a rumor. Unless there's any physical evidence, then those 'sources' aren't credible.

Guys before you flame jimlim007, have you made your rounds in Bukit Bintang? I can find the A77 body only for RM37xx quite openly. The RM38xx on the first page is a pessimistic figure.

jimlim007: What hands-on experience you want? I own a 24mm F2.0. I didn't just borrow it. Here's what I wrote about it when I first got it:

fas29: Nice, ada style!

Use kit lens and raynox also can liao la no need sp90. Invest in better lighting is more important.
