on my a100 i am not using the 50mm i am using the 30mm f1.4....lesser "zoom" ......

30mm f1.4 is much more expensive than 50mm f1.4

Added on October 24, 2007, 7:28 pmi shoot portrait more than landscape, hence i don't have any much need for wide angle. but the tamron seems to be a good all-rounder lens compare to the kit lens with it's f2.8 aperture, good for low-light situation.

got any other suggestion for lens that has nice OOF for portrait?

If you din have any need for wide angle, then you can consider the Tamron 28-75mm, f/2.8 also and with longer zoom will give you quite nice bokeh for potrait also.

wow, its getting busy in here, haha i converted someone! got your Alpha yet clivengu?

Hahaha, poison! poison! Buy, buy, buy!

LOL...yeah.. Raven spreading Alpha Virus. research research now.. probably this weekend will go Midvalley to try out 1 myself.. Go One Utama yesterday.. all out of stock n not such a good deal. Sony outlet got display..but d ppl there like don wan do business...

Did try Canon 400D in fotokem 1u... Cant tell if I like it or not.. since i din know how to use dslr yet..HAHA.. only can act like pro pose..

I Probably will get d Twin lens set from Key Colour Midvalley... Afraid if I buy d 300mm later.. single lens price will not be as cheap as this. Including sony beg.. quite good.. Hope is the Alpha Big Beg. Yet to go n look for myself. Now looking for KM 50mm f1.7....Or anything similar to this that is good for taking potrait in darker environment..

Mayb can ask my sister sponsor this lens..since most of the time is taking her Potrait only... go Restaurant nice food etc.

But where else can I get KM lens? since shopping center's shop din sell second hand lens. Anyone selling cheap here?

a lot of places, well particularly not in this forum though, you can try other photography forums.

you sure you you wanna get the twin lens kit? IMHO, start with the kit then invest in a good zoom, OR buy a 18-200mm lens buy the body plus that 18-200mm, should be around 3K as well (not really sure) but yeah you could try scouting around

What r d 18-200mm lens u r toking about? by other brand? is it better? donno much bout lens yet...

Can anyone tell me.. whats d approximately zoom did 200mm n 300 mm lens do? I can hardly imaging how much zoom it is.. If taking animal, Birds etc.. will 200mm be sufficient? or watching concert taking artist photos?

Raven when r u going to get ur A700? thinking to get in mid valley too? Im suprise most of d time best deal we can find on electronic items r in Sg wang/low yat.. but for this particular Sony.. Midvalley cheapest...

Heard bout pudu there ...not sure where is it.. oso got selling cheap camera.. ?

going to Sungei Wang to get my Cam, probably next week

u gonna bought from sg wang which store? booing?how much u getting it? Jealous le.. ppl getting A700..n im just getting A 100... 700-100=600 % difference....lol

can't remember the shops name but yeah, i know where it is lol

Sony also got their own 18-200 lens mah. But I not sure how's the quality of it. If can, better ask an experience friend or someone who is familiar with DSLR and the best is with someone who also know the camera shop owner, so you can get better deal + more free gifts and have someone to check with you thoroughly the condition of the camera that you gonna buy. I've heard a lot that the YL camera at Pudu there quite good woh. Not sure though, never been there before. Well, congrates to you in diving into the world of poison, DSLR!
