How about hunt for a used one?

Thanks for the prompt reply rclxms.gif

Actually I prefer the new 1 since the used unit doesn't cost difference too much,maybe RM100~150? I still can afford that much...hmm...that means I should just grap without concerning about the coming up announcement of new price list? hmm.gif

If you don't need it urgently and don't mind waiting, just wait and see. If getting that flash earlier could help you to earn more money, just grab it. All depends on your need.
That's why it's always better to get a used one. But have to make sure you need know how to check smile.gif

I can't seems to find a side by side comparison with same subject, focal length and wide opened aperture between these 2 lenses, but some other forum had discussed this before @

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)

So sharp? shocking.gif sharper than 16105? hmm.gif Then I might consider that for kitlens replacement,LATER drool.gif

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.
Got it sifu,I will go to grab a copy of F58 on Monday then,since it's holiday drool.gif

Sad to say you still don't understand the meaning of doubt.  sleep.gif 
Why are you so cooked up over this? Is it wrong to post what others comment about something? Some people might say that Sony is god-like, some might think that it's just another piece of thrash. Whether they say it's good or not, it's up to you to digest. Don't tell me you are those who can't accept what others comment? or your ears only welcome good points of the brand you are using? Do ponder about it.

You should get the stand as well as the pouch together in the box of the F58. Did you get both items? Better go back and claim from them if don't have.....  sweat.gif

QUOTE(shootkk @ Feb 12 2009, 09:30 AM)
Did you check in the pouch? The stand is usually kept inside a small pocket on the INSIDE of your F58 pouch. I also couldn't find it at first until sifu albnok mentioned where it was.

Haha,I just checked it,hidden inside the pouch! Thanks kysham & shootkk rclxms.gif didn't notice the hidden pocket rclxub.gif glad that I save the hassle rushing to BB plaza rclxms.gif
