bro that would actually be :scary:


help you shorten your list/ lust:


01. Sony 11-18mm or Sigma 10-20mm << with Sigma 8mm, both redundant
02. Sigma 8mm FE & Sony 16mm FE << Sigma 8mm FE - can't get wider than that, so you'll reach one end point :lol:
03. Minolta 200mm f4 G Macro << redundant, the 70-200 SSM is better!
04. Minolta 400mm f4.5 G << ok lah, since you die die must have
05. CZ 85mm f1.4 << get the 135mm f/1.8, reviews say that is much better
05. CZ 24-70mm f2.8 << if you must :lol:

Everyone will recommend you F56. It's the highest end currently, strong power and full control.
If budget limit, F36. Also good to use.
But Sony is coming up newer model soon.
Sony Alpha.

F36 & F56 are almost the same except for the F56 can swivel left & right .

What i would do is not going to see any other bodies of C & N . Concentrate all on Alpha . :P

Question:

Should I get a flash first or a good Portrait Lens First?

Sony 50mm wif F1.4 was my target.

But i'm also looking at Flash for indoor shots.
Sometimes it happens and i can't avoid it, sux to take shots indoor w/o a proper flash coz it ends up bad

Oh, Anyone here got a guide on flash photograhpy?

I'm sharpening my techniques.. (I think got improve .. A bit?)

But if you were me would you get a flash first and work wif current lens
or
get a new lens to improve portrait shots

Coz i think if i ever wan to get some portrait shots in sg , most of them are indoor when they are excessively dress or smth like that... very rarely outdoor..

And....

Any recommendation for flash?
My budget is ard 200 odd and looking for a flash where i can adjust where the flash will shoot.

My suggestion to you, which one will you definitely use always?
A flash or a lens?

I suggest you get a lens. A flash is only a supporting actor.
Honestly I hate to you a flash, I prefer natural lights.
