Welcome! Spread some full frame poison here from those 2 beasts.

Finally got my SEL35F18, totally amazing lens.

One question tough, the aperture blades tend to produce grinding noise during focusing phase when its open and close. It is normal?

Here is the relevant video I found, exactly the same noise:

this price soooooo nice ! the lowest i found is 1280

if anyone know any seller sell lower than 1280 pls pm me 

True.

I guess at the end of the day, it is which shop that made you return and become a regular customer. I guess every shop will almost definitely give special price to their regulars.

Probably will end up diff shops for diff people. But I guess competition is quite high now.

have a try for apply 1st?

May I know what kind of adapter you use to connect this lens with A7?
Mind sharing how much u bought the Sigma Art?

Finally after a week of hunting and deciding..

Got. At Sony Online Store also got back in the days.
Now only silver left.

For this one, it was a "used" item.
Someone win it from a contest in a magazine.
He doesn't have any E-mount camera, so decided to sell it off.
So it's not really a used lens. It's just the box opened and I'm it's 2nd owner.

Registered just now with Sony Malaysia and I got the fresh 1 year + 3 months warranty.
Here's a test shot.
Who can resist a test shot when buying new lens right?


Just a quick setup on this table to test the lens. Nothing special.

Closest distance the lens can focus and shot wide open @ f/1.8.
