Yeah, rather than shooting models, i rather go for parks, streets, and breakdancers. =/

Cause i only intend to do portfolio/model shooting once all my "light equipment" arrives, which probably about mid of march~ Until then, let's go pwn some streets =P

Sony 70-200mm F2.8 G SSM (flagship telephoto zoom) versus the Minolta 70-210mm F4 "beercan" (flagship telephoto zoom back in 1985 when Minolta made AF popular)

Obviously, the weight and size are different; one is 695 grams, 152mm long, takes 55mm filters. The other is 1340 grams (almost twice the weight), 197mm long and takes 77mm filters. Both are sharp and have beautiful bokeh and colors. One is just one stop higher. SSM is subjectively faster as nobody can really make a standardized test for these things!

Somebody said I should shoot girls instead with this lens, so here you go. The Sony Carl Zeiss 135mm F1.8 focuses down to 72cm. Makes for great portraits.

Sandisk is all hype lar coz they spend a lot on advertising oni. If u check the spec sheets, Kingston got even better specs than Sandisk.

Eiraku: Without a doubt, the beercan. It does 210mm at F4! If you add a 1.4x teleconverter it makes a 100-300mm F5.6.

very interesting discussion on the 2.8. Lots of valuable input and feedback. I guess the most appropriate way is to go and try out these lenses and find one that we are happy with.

anywa, nic_chm, i like the photos taken from the park. smile.gif
