Hahaha... thankx calvin... thanks for promoting my gallery... yep.....That's my Sony Alpha Gallery & Sharp 903sh (read the EXIF for the info)...

My Gears are as follow:

Sony Alpha A100,
Minolta 50mm F1.7 (RS)
Minolta 28-75mm F2.8 (D)
Minolta 75-300mm F4.5 - 5.6 (D) [Silver/Gold]

For everyones info... Minolta G lens series is like Canon's L lens
These are them:
1. Minolta 28-70mm F2.8 G
2. Minolta 17-35mm F3.5 G (Equivalent to Canon's 17-40mm F4.0 L) See the minolta ???? it's F3.5.... ... canon's L @ F4.0... oh common.... (no offence lar)
3. Minolta 80-200mm APO F2.8 G (available in both HSM or non-HS* vers.) (there is a black vers. of 80-200mm F2.8 but that one is just without G, vry rare but most ppl would settle with that lens already)...
4. Sony has rebadged the 80-200mm to 70-200mm APO F2.8G SSM

The rest would be the portrait G lens of 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 135mm (if i'm not mistaken) all at least F2.8 (85mm, F1.4)

and the rest of the fixed telephoto G lens are 200mm, 300mm both at F2.8 G (also got HSM and non HSM vers.)

Have a nice day...

Thanks Please do msg me...

Errr.... i wouldnt opt for Range... I would advice to always go for constant aperture instead of Range... the difference is just spectacular...

I wouldnt really suggest that... in my opinion, changing lens is a must... otherwise, y u want to buy other lenses when u arent going to use them? Might as well not buy them at the 1st place, rite?

And changing lens is a skill too... 'pro' can swap their lens on the spot in minutes..

Also, u can consider using a good lens E.g. the 80-200mm F2.8, but just stand alil further from ur object and shoot... or stand on higher ground to avoid other 'photographers' that might be shooting at the same object.. by doing so, u can create a different angle as well... a sort of win-win situation..

but you do have a point... so it's all down to the photographers 'desired'.. quality vs. convenience..

just my 2 cent

I think it's an understatement of Sony NOT having a wide-range of lens....

-->

http://www.dcviews.com/lenses/Minolta-lenses.htm
(Seeing that, it's all only Minolta lens not accounting to 3rd party yet)

And people who wants to venture into DSLR should do more research that Sony has brought over Konica Minolta and that Minolta AF lens do fits the Alpha series...

And [Raven],
You should put more additional feature in that ads of yours
--> Because CARL ZEISS is producing lens for SONY, (at least this is one of my main reason y i'm using the a100 instead of other brand of line).
(Though not many ppl may afford CZ/ZA - but hey, at least i'm still hoping i will be able to buy them one day)

EDIT: http://www.photodo.com/products.html?mount...name=Minolta+AF (variety of lens including 3rd party)

Yeh... sorry bout the sale... some fella at my university called me when i put it up on my university board...

the main difference is the grip.. RS has a rubber grip, giving u better grip in comparison to the old one.

some say that the RS is sharper and slightly faster (in focusing) & more contrast (in pictures)... i would agree with the sharp, but as for the speed and more contrast, i doubt it... contrast can be adjust with software anyway...

EDIT: Perhaps the RS used a different coating, which gives more contrast (just my idea)

Nice ads.... BUT


Exaggerating sial ~!!
It's snowing at my place here in Lincoln, NE... i dont think i will even bring my camera out hanging around my neck just like that..

Minolta 28-75@F2.8 (constant)... Definitely one of the best lens for the A-mount... Y bother talking it? Is just that the kitlens is alil wider, that's all.. other than that, I dont see anything else extra from the kitlens... Even the aperture F2.8 already speak for its price.. hehe

EDIT: I have yet to see anyone else using this lens... with something that rare, how is it not expensive leh...
