hi, anyone using the Tamron SP AF 10-24mm

found no review on this lens yet...did the sony version available now?

according to the review here, this lens seems soft or not sharp at all.

can anyone confirm this?

sony have a very limited UWA....the SAL 1118, tamron 1118 (similar to sony), minolta 1118 (hard to find) and sigma 10-20 only (dunno this got gear problem)

this is totally out from my budget

i had my F58 connector plate crack (still able to use but vary loose) duo to the heavy usage during my Cambodia trip. (shaking a lot i think)

sony service center replace a new one (the connector plate) for me FOC (under warranty) with no question ask in just 3 working days.

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.

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.

since u have brought it...don worry the price....just focus on shooting...

btw http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4756759 here have one ppl selling in sg....the retail price should be what u r getting.

yup from Sg...and i found that sg price is always higher then malaysia one (refer to alpah only)

i'm looking at the A700 as well but willing to wait for the A700 replacement A700x or A800 maybe....if get 2nd A700 during that time also will be cheaper maybe....dreaming

cheap???? are u sure? i got my Hoya Pro-1D CPL for only RM150 62mm

i got mine from him also...do get for some discount from him....haha tell him tsong refer

yannick - 012 2192790 nice seller

the kitty can do much better...play around with the creative style for better colour

#1 composition is not bad

#2 dunno what u wanna show...

#3 it is abit over exposure for me

both can swivel...just act in a dif way....power not the same and F58 can do multi flash

AlphaBeta: Konica merged with minolta during the DSLR era....so what every u see Konica Minolta, which is digital

the rest is all SLR film camera / lenses

jimlim007: where got kodak????

me too support minolta colour

I suggest benro A250 or A350 both have ball head...very nice and light weight (1.2kg+-)

i'm using A350 which serve me very well RM320 only and the A250 about RM260

the dif between is A350 slighter bigger and max load is 4kg, while A250 is 2.5kg
