any comments between the tammy 1750 F2.8 and the sigma 17-70 F2.8-4?
the sigma range's is more flexible, while tammy is constant aperture
considering between these 2

Sigma 17-70 is quite a good lens. Even Ed said something good bout this lens. Just that its not constant aperture but sharpness wise, perhaps even better than the Tamron, I supposed? Hard 2 find a Sigma 17-70 owner, at least in my circle of community.

The tamron has an awesome bokeh at f2,8 and sharpness at f4 that is quite equivalent to the Carl Zeiss 16-80/16-105. But of course, CZ has overall better sharpness and etc..
Then settle your bank loan. No need spend for something that you can't pay.
Yes, of course LOL
true, seldom hear bout ppl using sigma 17-70 but read some pretty good feedback at dyxum

Go for tamron. The sigma's aperture range is laughable. The f2.8 only lasts until about 20mm only.
*
any comment about the built quality of the two?
read cases of back focusing with the tammy, but if i buy this month, i should be able to get the 2+2 year warranty

a potential market for that which sony or other brands would find hard to fit is probably in wildlife/sports photography
faster than D3s AF speed and super crop on those fast zooms would be useful in those situation

No website. r u around KL, u can make a trip to Pudu Plaza. I think he is more willing to let u know!  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

An e.g. a HVL43 u might only need to pay 50% off the SRP.

My sigma 17-70 2.8-4 's OS is no longer working..

whenever i turn OS on, the lens makes noise inside and the image in the view finder goes up down left right every 2-3 sec..

It doesn't matter if SSS is turned on or off. The view in the OVF shows the OS is running wonky since the camera doesn't communicate with the lens telling it that the SSS is on and the OS should be in turned off. Both will run simultaneously.
*
oh ya, you are right
SSS only affect the sensor so it wouldn't interfere with the OVF

The Sony (HK) Limited Warrantee applies to Malaysia also right?

did you try the shops along penang road?
they are very competitive as well
contemplating to get the f43am myself after canning the plan to get lense
btw, one this the f43am can while the f58am doesn't is weather sealing
but not much point when the body+lense is not

I don't believe this rumour. It just can't be true. How can the a65 have 24.3mp and a75 have 16.2mp? Maybe a770 possible lah!
*
come to think of it, there is a huge price gap between a65 and a77
so i have a feeling that there will be something to fill that gap

yup.. i tried all the shop in Penang road, Komtar, perangin, queensbay and gurney plaza.
so far the best price is at perangin mall " Lam loong". i think i notice is not many shop are selling sony n if they sell only some of them got ready stock...  and 1 more thing i also notice... when i go to the shop that not selling sony and ask about sony gear..they will sure poison u like hell..and under estimate sony. Not to say i'm good but i managed to counter attack them back and some sellers seem try to cheat me andone of them is sony centre it self in gurney plaza.
the sales person is just teenager and i ask him about a580 body. 1st he told me that they are out of stock but later after chatting with his sales friend he then came to me and quote me RM3000 for a BODY. he said this is the last unit and this is the best price already... ayoo... i ask him twice, are you sure and he say yes!.. i asked him to double check 
but he said "olledy check la boss"... sony website retail price body is rm2699 and kit rm3099... street price is lower than that... i don't want to argue and just walk away...maybe the commission i think?...
back to penang road..

Hike - not selling sony
mega star - no stock
excell - no stock
opposite mydin...forgot the name- also no stock
fotokem perangin no stock -
lam loong - got f58 rm 1100 f43 rm700++
one more shop near entrance with big nikon sign..selling sony also..no stock
clip and snap - no stock
photo presiden queensbay - f43 rm 850 ( best price olledy)

the rest i forgot already...... shop at tesco?...don't bother to ask la...so expensive..
