You love candid -> go for the zoom lens lo
Sony 50mm F/1.4 -> portrait, nice bokeh !!!

Kelvinyam managed to get RM 680 for the Sig 70-300mm APO lens. PM him for more info.

70-210mm lens? Which lens? Third party?

Agree !!!

I'll take Sony for the faster AF, comparing with the Tamron 18-250mm.

The flowers shot has been photochopped??

Model : DSLRA200 (no need space nor dash)

Yeah !!!!!

Advise to check with their careline on office hours.

Which F/1.8 prime lens you were talking about?

Another piece of gem for sale. To bad not enough mineral .

Then carry the Tamron 17-50mm lens lo. You are not going to do tele with your wife around, aren't you? Lol........

That's another reason I need portrait lens with zoom. Always chasing up and down for my son . Steady shot rulez......

Seriously considering now. Is there any brighter zoom lens for my criteria ? Should cost much more right? Haha.
Minolta 50mm F/1.7 seems quite enough for me, just minus the running la.

Ya, get the beercan if you want sharp tele. But question is 200mm enough for you ?

Good or not? Judge by yourself.

Pics right belongs to original poster!
The best thing for you is to pick a lens and test it. Each lens has inherent characteristics, whether good or bad.

Like albnok mentioned, I love my Sigma 24-70. It's affordable and I use it for commercial shooting assignments all the time. I usually go with the 80/20 rule. If a particular lens can give me the 80% of the features I need compared to a higher specced and naturally costlier lens, then I'm all for it. By understanding your lenses capability you can adjust your shooting style. If you have loads of cash to plonk then get the faster more expensive ones. Buy the best you can afford.

At the end of the day it's still the photographer and not the equipment that counts. Everyone has their opinions on which lens has technical prowess and features but I think sometimes it deludes the point.

Here's some shots unprocessed and just resized for my web gallery. This is a lens which has often been criticized for not being sharp. Take a look and see if it's sharp enough for ya...





The next three were shot at night in a pub during one of my friend's performance. All using available light and Albert can attest to the poor lighting setup that night as well. *hehehehe* I'd say pretty good for an f2.8 lens in a very low-light situation.

A100? If one is selling @ below RM 1300, then why not? Otherwise just settle with A200 @ RM 17xx.

Just like those priceless pic.
Imagine, a person doing a "v" sign and at the back got few meters high of waves coming .

How do we check shutter count? Got such option on the cam itself?

Anyone tried 16 GB on their A200? Can detect 16 GB? Coz in the manual only got info up to 8 GB.
