i think i know wat shotkk bro will reply to u ..

"wat photo style u are mostly into" a good photographer will know wat lens wat he want so in the end he/she will use the lens n not just simpan2 ..

u always zoom2 n need wide go for SAL18250 or 16105,
u always shoot at night n need constant F, go for 1750 2.8
CZ1680 is best kitlen replacement but not constant f..

is up to u bro

im using it...
good...easier to manual focus using M42 lens..

shootkk, there might be other differences with the 50mm F1.8 DT which we don't know about. Hopefully, it will have a closer minimum focus distance than the standard 50mm lenses, which have always been 45cm close (the Sigma 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM and Nikkor AF-S 50mm F1.4G too!)

The Pentax DA 55mm F1.4, an APS-C only lens, also has a 45cm MFD. Bummer. Though Sigma has a knack of making close-focusing APS-C lenses e.g. 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC and 18-50mm F2.8 DC both focus to 20cm close.

The wider a lens is, the closer they can make the MFD - the Nikkor AF-D 35mm F2.0 has a very sweet 25cm MFD. The Nikkor AF-S 35mm F1.8G has a 30cm MFD which is quite potong stim la.

There are some M42 lenses out there that go real close and still do F1.8 - the Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar Electric 50mm F1.8, for example, does an impressive 35cm close, while the Pentacon 50mm F1.8 does 33cm close. I really hope Carl Zeiss teaches Sony a thing or two about making close-focusing record-beaters.

That said, if you just need a F1.8 on a budget, you can't go wrong with the 50mm F1.8 DT. Yes, you can't use it on full-frame... but by the time you have an A900 you'll be putting a full-frame 50mm F1.4 on it.

noprob, I had the O-ME53. Good for APS-C cameras but I was broke when getting the A900 so I sold mine.

when will SAL50mm 1.8 will be released? .. ..
