Added on February 27, 2012, 11:30 amwhich version of sigma 70-210mm?

i am finding a macro lens too, if focal length < 100mm, its hard to shoot animal except for some slow movements bugs, but if if not AF and OSS, >100mm is easily blur due to handshake... Dilemma

Nice bokeh eagle..eh or Owl Which 50mm now haha..1.7 or 1.4 and Minolta lens or none Minolta?

BTW, the 70-210mm is this one:
"Sigma UC Zoom 70-210mm F4-5.6 Multicoated. Minolta MD mount"

Looking for a 100mm 1:1 macro lens..either minolta/Sigma wth MD mount for sure since I hv the MD adapter dy

nice owl and it stays calm, but what was the thing below the owl?

OWL nvr panic

it makes u panic only by keep staring at u without blinking

its oil palm's leave.... btw, next time when replying, don quote the image as well, thanks

this pic is taken by MD 50mm F1.7, no money to buy 1.4

1st pic is taken @ f3.5, so its obviously sharper than the 2nd one, taken with f1.7...

It's just amazing that >30yrs old lens can do such a great job that I don't think the newest, expensive NEX lenses can do well..haha..my 2sen

Using minolta 50mm with any adapters or with the sony la-ea2?

He mentioned MD mount liao lor..so it's those Manual focus lens wth adapter for sure haha

a no brand adapter, for this lens is MD - e mount adapter, can get it less than RM50 from ebay

i am quite surprise for its performance too, as this lens is definitely older than me

That one crop at F3.5? Yeah really wow..I think I must reduced my F from 1.4 to probably 2.8 or 4 too haha

One think I dun like about 50MM after using it for few days + the added adapter is the focal lenght permanently >50mm & wth the adapter probably 80MM? That's already any auto max zoom lens liao compare wth my existing 18-55 kit lens and if wanna shoot food picture, I need to sit further away from my food..

ya, at f2.8/3.5...

PP awhile for that same pic, and i like this tone

BTW, what I mean by hv to go far to get my food photo focused to the centre is like this and yet so close haha sumore that narrow focused area in the ctr at this F1.4. Need to perfect this sifus?

Haha..miniature effect on that bowl. Yeah need to reduce further the apperture..Your F3.5 owl & F1.8 giving a hint liao how sharp the ctr photo & more focused area can be although probably affecting the behind bokehness haha

suddenly remind of a thing call extension tube, it can shorten the minimum focus distance. but how well the effect i don know, nvr try b4

u try it then tell me the effect

So when you are using the MD adaptor, it will still a MF lenses, but when you are attached to the LA-EA2, it will turns up an AF lenses, am I right?(I was attended a Sony workshop and heard about this)

if u buy alpha lens, ya, will AF when using LA-EA2, but its super duper slow AF...

the lens i bought is MD 50mm f1.7, its an OLD lens, which at that moment still didnt invent AF yet MC/MD lens cant use LA-EA2, because the mount is different... and no matter how, it cant AF... if it AF, u throw it away and u run
