thats from my eyes la..soft at f2.8, will sharp at f4 and above, as it was not my lens, therefore i cant give a full conclusion on the lens..focus wrongly will have out of focus part, not soft..

correct me ifim wrong using the terms of softness and sharpness..

and for the price wise, i still vote for tamron 17-50mm f2.8..

Bro,I didn't know there are shops selling this,bought it from shashinki,no choice gonna wait for it now,charger & batteries Thanks for your help

jz bought F58am frm a shop in SW..
RM1130....
now tryin it with all kind of shots....

congrats bro..don forget to spam ur pics tonite!

Precisely, I trust my eyes too. I shoot 95% of my pics at F4 on my previous Tamron 17-50. It was sharp but I'm more to contrast, colors and corner sharpness of the CZ16-80.

just got back from sg wang where I jalan2 with sifu albert and ahmike. Jalan2 survey 1680Z, 16105, siggy 1770 f2.8-4, and siggy 1850 f2.8.

the siggy 1770 is seriously insane man, damn sharp, focuses damn fast, the MFD is freaking awesome (20cm..I was almost touching ahmike's face with the front of the lens, and it still focuses) and the images are damn sharp! (i know i mentioned this twice, but I had to!)

there's not much difference between the 1680 and 16105, just the colour a bit different. (from my eyes la..)

couldn't find the tammy 1750, I'll go survey this lens first before making my decision. right now it's 50-50 between 16105 (i love the range) and the siggy 1770 (all the reasons stated above)

boeing quoted rm1550 for the 1770.

edmondwwk: I don't know whether it is sharper than 16105, the pics are inside albert's cf card. but the 1770 is definitely brighter and it can do macro with 1:2.3@70mm, which according to albert is quite good.

thanks spooky for the sample pics. very nice!

nice one! but if u can let a bit of space at her right elbow, it should be nicer..

i guess photography equipments' prices keep increasing now..

thanks.. close & sharp..

Shot using SAL75300? It seems like your lens front focused a little. The dress is sharper than her eyes.

Speaking of the picture, perhaps a less busy background would be better?
