- Newer coating (optimized for DSLR)
- Warranty
- Price (Minolta vs Sony)
- Sharpness from F2 onwards (u should try F4-F8 )
- With hood
- Cooler color (some like it, some don't)

which one is cheaper in term of lens for canon, sony and nikon? .. .

You need to specified which lenses as they have league of their own.
Example :

- 50mm F1.4
- 100mm F2.8
- 70-200mm F2.8

so how much is SAL 50mm f1.4?

We can't say which one was cheaper.
Becoz "someone" will come in and 'diao' us. it will cause chaotic as everyone has their own point.
So, go and do some research by yourself.

i roughly know who is it... but IMO canon and nikon lens definitely cheaper. They have been in the market for ages...Alpha only 2 years..so i expect it is quite limited and pricey..

thanks bro.....

for 50mm canon is the cheapest followed by nikon then sony

haha, u can jump ship d if u are surprise on this, forgot to say, its with warranty too

will be thinking of upgrading for a700 soon but is it a good choice hearing that a new model will be replacing a700?
when will that new model launch? or even announce? is it a800?
i might have to sell off my flash to fund for a700/a800 lol

How much street price for Canon 50mm F1.4 and Nikon F1.4?

i got these thru the internet, was killing time by searching for internet freebies and free samples.

i went to 3M us site and fill some details and they sent me these. the vikuiti they say can remove reflections and glare. the appropriate application are for lcd panel and other display appliances. wondering if i can use it as some sort of polariser for my alpha. no time to tinker now.... i'll update later about what i use these films for

mind giving us the site? i dun mind getting this kind of freebies...

iianm its www.3m.com/vikuiti

Pheeewwwww, lucky no went up or not cancel trip for cobra tomorrow.

good luck on ur cobra bro..the price quoted was for boeing..

in 'M' mode, u must remember, -ve sign for black/darker and +ve sign for white/brighter...so if u wanna take a snow or person with white shirt, make sure u overexpose 1 or 2 step up...so the white will be white or else it will be gray...so do the black, do vice versa...
this applies only if u meter the subject in the situation above..remember that
FYI, the '0' sign for grey = in between of white and black...

for landscape, if u wanna brighter ground than sky, meter the ground and get '0' then compose and then snap...or for silhouette, meter the sky, get '0' or 1 or 2 step up (or ikut u nyer preference) then compose and then snap...there you go...
for get nice balance metering ground and sky, use GND/CPL is recommended...
i would suggest Cookin GND blue Filter (even though i dont have one, hanafinoor have it)...

for A300 i would sugget Pentax O-ME53...
for A200 i would suggest Olympus ME-1 (bigger and brighter)
