Wow, more and more Alpha user =)

Yo ! Me went for the Workshop as well the other day, known as "Chan" that day =P I have this 50mm F2.8 Macro to let go tho, if you're interested.. will let u know the price for it once i'm home..keke

albnok @ aa, strobist@blog/flickr is my all time favourite website =P excellent place to learn and review lighting skills !

Eiraku @ Your poison list ! @_@ omG

My view after using all these lense with my A700 + A200

- CarlZeissT* 16-80mm 3.5-4.6 || MY favourite lense of all time ! Excellent contrast and sharpness ! and there's a little bit of fisheye effect when it's at 16mm. It's considered my prime lense + Travel Lense. =)

- CarlZeissT* 135mm 1.8 || This one super poison ! You have to use this in order to really feel this lense magnet ! This freaking bazooka is very th3 sharp when it comes to portraiture, but i think i still under utilize it until now =/

- Sony G 70-200 - Sharp and fast focusing, use it once only, so can't tell more yet.

- Sony 18-250mm f/4.5-5.6 - This lense is a MUST have if you're covering indoor event ! Excellent travel lense kit if you think you're lazy to bring a few lense out !

- Sony 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 - This lense that comes with a200, excellent for beginner =)

- Sony 50 1.4mm - Very useful when doing candid shot, indoor potraiture and lowlight, extremely useful when u're shooting in a room with not much light source as well !

- Sony 50 2.8 Macro - Never really ultilize this lense all this time =/

- Sony 11-18mm Super Wide - Super lense when it comes to indoor group picture taking. Not to mentioned, what ever this lense shoot, it's 95% sharp all the time !

- Sony 70~300mm - Superslow focusing and i don't even bother using it, wanna sell it off already

- Flash 56 - Please consider this as your first priority in buy-list even before getting other lense =/

Then i'll join you guys again if i'm around =P

Let us see your pictures =P

Usually for motion blur i'll use 1/40 ~ 1/80 like that if it's outdoor. =/

I just tried the G Lense 35mm f1.4 just now @ Midvalley, and i would say it was the most pOisonous baby i had ever tried !

Went to do some random shooting for awhile just now to get used to the DOF of my lense. Thought might as well share the picture i took,

C&C ish most welcome =) :-

After all the comment it sounds like i just waste my money on my 70-200, lol

i uses mine 70-200 for potrait, nature and indoor events + wedding shooting it turned out the way i wanted, so i'm actually very very satisfied with it =)

But it's true that this lense for shooting bird lack abit, the focusing is fast, but the zoom aint enough.

It'll definitely come in handy when it comes to potrait/model shooting, assuming it's outdoor and there's quite a few photographer, it'll be easier to compose.

I'm planning to get 35mm 1.4 for product shooting, maybe abit of candid streets and indoor model shooting, , any comment ?

Previously i was actually thinking of getting a full frame body (Nikon D3), knowing and tested the camera, for some reason i put it down, and went straight for A700.

You have actually put my thoughts into words that i don't know how to explain all these while =/ but it's true that i thought of getting a full frame pair with the 35mm, but didn't think that it might have that kind of problem (Picture might turned out different from what i think).

I'm not rushing to 35mm tho, the lense is just "it's nice to have one" to me now =P

Let's just hope the a900 won't be priced at 17 ~ 20k =/

AS For our outing, i'm glad to meet up all of you again =) And hopefully the next outing we'll be going somewhere to do some shooting and learning outdoor~

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

I lost count when i try to count how much $$ worth on the table itself =/

Sorry everyone, even tho i own those lense, i'm never good with numbers =\
