most zoom lens tend to get soft on the longer end.

So was wondering, if i stop down the aperture to f11 will it help to compensate that problem? I know most lens tends to be sharp at f11 but the softness on the other end of the lens made me confused over this matter

oh yeah, what's the price for a brand new 16-35mm F2.8L II?

you step the aperture that for meh? f11 and maximum tele, then your ISO and exposure would be?

really depends on the scene lo, lets say i go 125th ss and iso 100.

ss..whats that?

8 more pages people!

hehe. no idea on how far aperture to contribute to sharpness. definitely not at the widest la. just drop a few stops should be sufficient. f11 is damn far man.

SS = shutter speed a.k.a. exposure lor

btw 8 pages to? 2000 posts? start v2 at 2,500 mah. but no la we don't spam like Kopitiam retards. their posting speed is on hyperdrive when it's a few pages away from 2,500. nutsos.

haha...8 pages to 100... oh...shutter speed...ok...its now on my dictionary haha..

i thinking of get a 50mm f1.8 from a lyn member...

juz need to test the auto focus, n feel anything stuck inside the lens or not...

COD at wangsa maju...

^yes, check it, and check for fungus or mold inside the lens too, dont forget to take a few test shots before you buy it.

Eh I'm also still looking for this
Don't see selling in siewkahhow thread
Anyone else selling this in LYN? Wana check the price
Plus what's the diff between the kitlens and this?
sorry noobie question

on. different la. kit lens you cover 18-55 usually. (Canon la)

the 50mm f1.8 is fixed-focal length lens, meaning you can't zoom.

they're used for different purpose.

waah..that price ah?
can give link to the thread..

ya price nego until cheap edi, but scare after new shot, tat thing KONG edi~

Just wondering if have good experience with the OS from sigma. How it compare with Canon IS?
This lens should be much cheaper than canon original lens right?

Hmm.. I also read that you have a 70-300 Is this the hidden L lens from canon? How is it? You like it? Any good comments?
Me very confused as to what lens to get esp since the new 55-250 is so cheap and with IS!

eh, since when i mentioned 20-200? 18-200 OS.

from what i read, Sigma's OS is good.

then again what are you comparing with?

thx for the explanation goldfries
will go google up more info now hehe

Sorry... I just saw some posts about the sigma lens @ 1.2K and I read that you have used something of that sort.

I believe you have sigma and canon lenses right? So how about comparing between them?

wow so cheap, remember to test kaw kaw before u buy

will do so, but still scare after buying back, thn sot sot...

how to compare la.

my Canon lens are kit lens 18-55, 50mm f1.8 II
my Tamron lens 70-300mm
my Sigma 18-200 OS

as you can see, all also different class. price also different.

it's like RM 300 vs RM 300 vs RM 700 vs RM 1700 leh.

edited : pricing above are estimated la......... but the 18-200 OS was really RM 1.7k

anyway seriously, CANON wins la when the L appears. the others, you get them either because they're cheaper or.........well usually because they're cheaper, or no better option. like Sigma 10-20 on full-frame.

want to compare, should compare similar functionality la. like say Canon EF 70-200 F2.8L vs Sigma 70-200 F2.8 , the Canon will be the winner la. more pricey but the results are better.

I see.. I thought the 70-300 was the canon hidden L @2.5K which was my initial target before the 55-250 came out.

The 70-200 F2.8L IS USM is great, but price is also very great @USD1.5+K


So.. no one here has the 55-250 (except for that one guy who didn't go to the zoo outing?)
