QUOTE(ReaperOfSoul @ Dec 11 2008, 01:49 AM) Hi, I was just thinking to get my second lens. What lens do you guys recommend? I heard many people suggesting that minolta 50mm f1.7 is very good. What's so good about it ? Can anyone tell me. Thanks It really depends on your need. I'd assume u have the kit lens 1870. So you have to ask yourself why would i need a 50mm which i already covered with my kitlens. But to answer your question, the minolta 50mm f1.7 is a "must have" for all sony users, i've one. It's cheap (relatively), very sharp and have nice minolta bokeh and color. Its also a fast lens. But u have to get use to it as u cannot zoom with it (more leg work). But the pics that came out with this lens is really "wah" for me the first time i used it, never regretted getting it. But i still have to stress that 2nd lens to buy really depends on your need...

QUOTE(SinnerBuyer @ Dec 11 2008, 01:44 AM) Hi! I'd prefer clean oval/round vignette.. Just my preference tho.. Pics spam!  Vignette+HRD treated.. C&C are welcome  to me the door is too center, frame it below abit and avoid it appearing in the center of the whole photograph. The road sign behind is distracting , Photoshop it
