firz: tammy 17-50 can be found in kl..not very hard though...price around 1450...1680za is around 2500..if u are worried about the aperture, (3.5-4.5) u can get a flash...

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)

Wow, u guys got poisoned by 1770? ok, some photos from 1770 for u guys...hmm..is the focusing fast? i think i expect it to be faster though smile.gif

was playing around with my cam today (too bored) some pix for anyone that is interested in 1770:
exif still intact:) images color was adjusted, no cropping just resizing, no sharpening, all shot at MFD

If someone tells you that you are not producing good images simply because you are using a Sony Alpha, then I would say that person is a nut and knows nothing about producing good quality pictures...  doh.gif  It is not all about camera, camera, camera...... The camera is only one part of the equation lah....

OK, on a different note:

Here is another photo from my trip to China. It was a very foggy day when we went for the boat trip on this lake. I can't get a single decent clear shot, so instead, I took foggy scenery shots! tongue.gif Hope you guys like it. biggrin.gif

Scenery @ Xi Wu (West Lake) in Hangzhou, China. Shot with A700 & Sigma 70-200.

bro kysham: Just my 2 cents, since the scenery is foggy, try changing the mood of the picture..try making it like dawn/dust...change the mood to a more mellow mood....my imagination tells me it will be better...hahah..just my 2 cents...

guys...a very common quetion here....
what AF area mode u guys using??
Wide or Spot or Local??
coz when i use wide the camera will always focus on other part of the subject.....
n how to get almost all part of my subject been focussed in??
*
wide = camera decides ur focus point
spot = focus point in the middle
local = u decide ur focus point.

i usually use local (more control). u need adjust ur DOF to get all subject in focus.

QUOTE(dingenius3 @ Feb 9 2009, 05:37 PM)
i used LOCAL sometimes only.. most of the time is set to SPOT...
i find it much quicker to use SPOT... as i just need to half-snap..
then recomposed the pics..

at the same time.. metering also done during the half-snap..  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
beware of recompose oh..smile.gif some pics might exp OOF due to recompose..

Let's take a break from all the "missiles"..
Since today is the last day of CNY, how bout some spam?

Location FGS Dong Zen Temple in Banting Klang. Endure 1 hour of traffic jam but it was worth it.

Wished i had a faster lense..........
Most of the shots were handheld at 1/40 or 1/50 so pls excuse the "blurness"...
*
Hmm, somehow i find it under-exposed....1/40 is superb. I always shoot at 1/4 or 1/10 in lo light hand held. What u need is a tripod for such shot...u need a higher f value (f=5.6 or higher) hence a fast lens wont help. just my 2 cents

QUOTE(KTCY @ Feb 9 2009, 06:57 PM)
Comparing a D40 with D3x is like comparing your local proton with Ferrari. Stupid comparison isn't it ? laugh.gif
I never know that moarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr focus point = better camera. SRSLY !!!
*
i think he is not comparing. he is trying to point out the 'revolution' from D40 to D3x where the focus point has been increasing and increasing:) 2 cents saja

seram: too little of the sun and too much of water and sky...try cropping the pic? just my 2 cents..
something like that:
(sorry for touching your pic:D)
