saw that minolta in trade zone.. still undecided either to get that one or buy a new sony.. read that sony's one got new improved coating and got warranty for sure.. the warranty worth the extra bucks (less than RM300) i believe.. if get the minolta, have to gamble a bit la coz no warranty.. and the minolta is the same age as me la

u have a point there, yup the sony SAL50mm f1.4 coated with a latest lens technology..so why dont u just go for the new one?
AFAIK, minolta 50mm gor flare control issue, not sure about sony 50mm, need to ask someone that owned both lenses or albnok to clarify on this..
i cant give any further comment about this lens because i dont own any

Hi,
I was looking for a Spirit level for Alpha camera. The Spirit level at Yamiya / Shashiki is not suitable for Alpha hotshoe. Any shop got sell spirit level for Alpha?
why u need spirit level? i guess if u are using tripod, find the ballhead that come with spirit level..
