Lens recommendation to replace kit lens.

[donut88]

sure once we go to outing togther will bring my minolta lenses (28-135, 70-210) so you could try out the difference between new lenses and the 1980's lens =) I like old lenses actually they have a different character than newer ones =... dunno hard to explain lolz

Oh i think one good comparisson would be you'll ask a draftsman/architect and a painter to draw the same building... you'll see how the painter will sketch the building to the canvas while the architect will draw them on paper and with very precise lines...

I also want to try your 28-135....

TS, u can try my 28-85 too.

since when is screwing quiet? :bsmilie:

...Dun get me started ! ...there's lots of instances where it's absolutely quiet !

eg: When there's loads of lubricant !


....in the screwing gears of the screw-driven lens, it dampens out the sound.

But some people love the screwing sound, right ? Bro Albertri ?

If you dislike noisy AF..then no choice..you have to look at SSM lenses. Since u are considering those now..maybe you like to add the A77 kit lens in.. 16-50 F2.8 SSM.

btw...not all super pro lenses are quiet. Only those with SSM are less noisy.

Okay, i get what you mean. Only SSM lenses are less noisy. So the rest of the lens with screw-driven AF will be noisy.
