@_@ So fast new version thread.


Need some advise before getting these lenses:

Sony 28-75mm F/2.8 @ RM2500 + HOYA PRO-1 @ RM 105
or
Zeiss 24-70mm F/2.8 @ RM4600


SIGMA 70-300mm APO DG Macro + Regular Filter = RM900


Do advise whether to choose which lens better.. and any other better recommendation aside from these lenses? notworthy.gif

You should ask yourself whether you're in for the long haul with Sony and whether you're going to go full frame in future. If yes then the Zeiss will be a much better investment. The 28-75mm is strictly for those with a FF cam and tight budget.

ahpingko : That depends on the condition of the lens. As you already know the beercan is an old lens. Although it's built like a tank but wear and tear do occur over time so make sure the lens is in good condition. The beercan is also a slow focusing lens although the 75-300mm is not fast by any means but keep that in mind. Of course if you like the 'Minolta' look the beercan is famous for then it's a good buy.

ieR : I like the shot but one thing bothers me. The grass flowers (the white bits on top) is much brighter than the subject and I feel that it is a little distracting in a sense. That's just me lar... nice shot overall.

Yea I'm waiting for the launch of a new FF from Sony next year or so. For the moment is still using the cheap and basic a390. So Zeiss if for the long go? Thanks for this one.

So no comments for the 70-300mm? tongue.gif

Erm depending on what you mean....

If you'd know you are going full frame, might as well prepare towards FF rather than buying DT/Aps-c lens and selling em off later right?
No rules saying for pros only, but FF does bring an illusion that one's somehow

Ehem, never mind. Scrape that topic.

Hmm.. never thought can get some illusion from FF @_@ . Just thought about since I will be on Sony for the long go so why not just go for FF without the need to constantly change body. Thanks for the advise anyways. notworthy.gif
