just sold out my 75-300 just now..
 btw, i saw 1 shop selling Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom at rm600...and tested it...but i didnt bring my a550 go...they used a pentax body and test..the AF speed is faster and IQ is sharper...quite nice even at indoor...bokeh at 300mm F5.6 super damn smooth..the macro mode at 300mm F5.6 at 0.95m distance can give 1:2...quite nice!!!.. but i am thinking to get beercan coz of its F4 and sharpness...  how about the focusing speed of beercan on my a550?..and without warranty quite dangerous..what if it spoiled?..cost to repair is high?.. what i want is to use for portraits..and shoot some long distance objects like birding/moon-ing/spying ppl yes, i do need F4 and sharpness...trade off is an old lens without warranty.. how?..any advice? |

QUOTE(8tvt @ Nov 14 2011, 07:19 PM) for sony got VC eh? i think no...but this dyxum website wrote VC..  anyway, i tested 70-300 without USD unit...it is awesomely nice and good compared to 75-300 sony...with price tag of rm600...definitely better than sony's...at first, i am tempted to get that 70-300 tamron but after consideration, i would go for that G grade Tamron 70-300 USD..review say it is very sharp..and i like its bulky size.. |

QUOTE(d4rkholeang3l @ Nov 18 2011, 10:25 AM) @ahpingko : The cross XX version is the early batch of minolta maxxum lens, until they face copyright infringement thing with some company (forgot who liao ) i see....but i not so soon go back melaka...lol...i want to try it 1st..once try and terpoison, on the spot buy!..lol the cross X and non-cross X version is the same optically , (physically oso I guess . need albert to clarify this) Just that since the cross X version is terminated, the stock is less in the market, thus it is more valuable in the collectors' market (by 50 to 100?) On a side note, I read from somewhere that the cross x version of minolta 50mm is more prone to sticky aperture. |

 finally got this gem at a lower price..initial test shows that its AF quite fast and smooth..not as noisy as my previous 75-300..nice bokeh, but bokeh shaped like hexagon..sharp!..vry solid build...surprised that such an old lens still maintained so well and can produce such image quality..dyxum say it is born at year 1985..even older than myself..  |
