why tidak tegur one?

i dont understand that..mind to elaborate more? if not mistaken, the CZ 135mm is a prime lens, so the focal length must be at 135mm..am i wrong?

Should i get Sony, Tarmon or Sigma 18-200

he's m42 adapter is fixed at 50mm f1.7

Decided to get the Sony 18250 today from Studio Zaloon. I politely declined the boss's suggestion of a 70300G.

Initial thoughts are.. DAMN...this lens is HEAVY! Somehow I have a feeling my wife is never gonna take pictures of me and my son with that lens attached!

the cz 135mm is a screw type m42 lens, so it does not have any chip telling the camera what focal length and aperture it is at. it's all manually set on the lens itself. unfortunately, the only m42 adapter available for the a-mount is chipped at 50mm f1.7. so the camera reads the lens as a 50mm f1.7 lens. hope u can understand. i don't quite know how to explain.

thanx

ho ho you guys got poisoned by albnok's gears eh? i see new equipments coming in the future

yea. CZ Sonnar T* 135mm f18 ZA

0168257061: The Carl Zeiss 135mm F1.8 (and even the F3.5) is quite popular with the Sony crowd. It's much rarer to see them using the Carl Zeiss 85mm F1.4.

edmondwwk: At the current economic situation, Sigma, Nikon and Canon have increased their prices in other countries. You can expect price increases soon. That said it will be very rare for someone to sell the F58, so just go and get it.

croomaniac: The Minolta 35-70mm F4 does produce image quality like the beercan but it doesn't look like one LOL.

vikingw2k: I tested the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 when The Wonder bought it for his A200, and it was focusing accurately and was a good copy. So while the Tamron was indeed sharp, the Zeiss is sharper and far more contrasty.

SpOOkY: That's the old price - Sigma and Tamron lens prices have increased already.

sidewinderz: The left side of the leaf is out the in-focus area - you'll want to use a darker aperture e.g. F8-11 to get more of the leaf in focus.

TriangleStudio, I like the murky look on your first picture, as it tells me that she is in a dirty city (and the cars help to tell me this.)

ryzan76: OHAI down there!

fas29: Haha the colonel blown up on a fisheye is too cute!

chiggy: Great stuff (though I prefer the first set, and her amazing 'muka cop'! I love the Zeiss color, it has always been punchy in the right places.

Also, do you use the F42 at 105mm when shooting with the kit lens?

dinraxxx: Dude man I hope you're alright!

nickilala: Yes, a flash used and pointed at the right angle will make your pictures sharper.

luzzio: Nice color tone!

vandechrome: chiggy's adapter, like mine, only reports one focal length (50mm F1.7) no matter what lens is on it.

There is one with 4 focal lengths but switching between them requires you remount the lens and tap the shutter button to cycle through focal lengths.

sifus here already. haha,
p/s bro albert, got my picture ar in your cf card?
