Smile New to Sony DSLR

Hi guys
I just bought this lens yesterday







This is my first Sony Alpha Lens.
To be honest I don't even have the body yet (DSLR)
I just can't resist the 135mm F1.8
F1.8..!! for 135mm woooo!! so nice hehhehee
So I decided to bought it.
Now I'm pusing, because I dont have the Sony camera T__T
I can't use this lens

I need to buy the Camera tomorrow

Andree

Congrats on your new purchase Andree.

Maybe I can safe keep the lens for you till you get the body.

Hi bro digitalxd1,


Hmmm lens before the body?

Anyway, good choice.

This is my fave lens among the CZ family.

This lens will do well with A700 but with the A900 it is just too sharp. Hahaha.

Happy shooting!

A900 + CZ 135mm f1.8 = lethal weapon.

Hope to see some great pictures from this combi soon.

So lucky, i hoping for something in between a a700-a900 , ard the 2k price range to upgrade in the future. A900 although is very attractive in the pricing , sometime just feel like buying it. Just that might not use it as much due to weight.

Congrats... Ah... the A900 and 135CZ is way too sharp for portraits...

Ugh, even the 135CZ on the A700 is too sharp already.

I'd stick with blurer cheaper lenses for my portrait shots...

According to Sony, the standard hot shoe on Sony A900 is not compatible with any radio trigger flash ( such as pocket wizard ) is it true ??

It's a different mount, but you can buy an adapter for about 15 SGD.

True. It's the click on Konica Minolta Hotshoe - I'm very used to it - slide in and click. Mounting a flash is never that fast...

but if you have an iso hot shoe, just get a Third Party FS1100. It's around $15.
