QUOTE(vikingw2k @ Feb 21 2009, 08:07 PM) Not really, Sony's VG is more expensive compared to Canon i see....thx for the info...that sorted out a few things.. =) QUOTE(ahtsong @ Feb 21 2009, 08:07 PM) 7 working days is their std reply...they also told me that but after 3 working days i receive a SMS saying my unit is ready for collect. wow...very informative...thx...i will take note of that...i wonder, since i got the minolta 50mm 1.7, if sony release a similar version, will it be priced around rm500+?? just worried my 50mm will suddenly lose value overnight...not every Sony accessories is cheapest...it depend e.g. sony flash F58 (RM1100) is the cheapest compare to C (580EX RM15xx) and N (sb900 RM16xx) sony travel lens SAL18250 (RM16xx) and SAL18200 (RM 14xx) is the cheapest too compare to C 18-200 (RM2xxx) and N 18-200 (RM23xx) and those C user claim that we cannot use the Leica Quality Beercan 70-210 F4 to compare to their 70-200mm f/4L but they always said their very plastic 50mm f/1.8 is very very cheap...which sony haven release yet (event the Minolta 50mm f/1.7 also dif from that) they should compare again 50mm f/1.4 both sony and C....where the sony is RM11xx and the C is RM12xx if not mistaken and the sony 70-200 f/2.8 G now have a very competitive price RM6k +- (after sony decide to reduce the price since last year OCT) if u wanna get more info on lens price go to this page http://www.price.com.hk/category.php?c=100043 beside the example that showing Sony is cheaper...there is other Sony lens and accessories is more expensive too like the VG, 24-70 cz (slightly more expensive then the C but cheaper then the N) and other cz lens as well another bad point for sony is we have less choice on the lens selection then the C and N as Sony only in the market for about 4 years and being active since end of 2007 ...need some time for them to release more lens either new or reband the minolta. oh yea, i got a CPL from hoya...filter size is 55mm...got it for rm125...is that price alright?

QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Feb 21 2009, 03:58 PM) hi guys, YAY!! welcome... i believe ur SIGGY is the same as mine la kot..After a long consideration, I got myself Sony Alpha 300 single lens, Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6, Carl's ST 0.5x Wide angle lens, hoya uv hmc filter, 4gb, tripod, screen protector, sony carrying case and sony alpha sling pouch for RM3650. Is it cheap/exp/normal?  .. Hope to enjoy my new camera later on. ..it can do kinda good macro also at 1:2... how?? set manual focus first... then zoom to around 200-250mm.. not gonna suggest at end 300mm coz of a bit softness issue.. switch the macro.. then twist ur focus ring until u see 1:2... move urself front n back until got "sharp" focus... contro breathing.. then snappity-snap u go..   QUOTE(hazril @ Feb 21 2009, 07:43 PM) try throwing it in the air as high as u could and see it becomes a LEGO set when hits the ground.... ceh... soo jahat.. ahhaha *running as tebo boosting @ 10bar...kepish kepish...!!!!*  QUOTE(v1rtual @ Feb 21 2009, 10:06 PM) hahaaaa... i dont think kitlens can even autofocus at 1cm right? some lens can... u counting 1cm from front of the lens ar? the minimum focus distance is counted from sensor to object.. some UWA lens u can see it is almost touching yet still can AF.. ok.. go buy 1 n see for urself now!! *cabut!!*  |

if sony does make the 50mm 1.7 and price it competitvely, the old minoltas will definitely lose its value. i mean, 500 bucks for a lens which is quite old and no warranty...
The only reason why these lenses are still sky high in price is due to scarcity. Every alpha users wants to get their hand on the lens and there's not enough to go around. |
