If can afford go for the CZ u will never regret.
I never regret my CZ1680. It gives me better colors and sharpness on my A55 when I compare to my 5D+ L lenses
I'm sure my beercan Minolta will perform well too when I get my hands on it soon.

Sorry.. But having ditched my 5D+L lens for my current setup for its color and sharpness... I cannot stop mentioning it.. :bsmilie: This is exactly what I have been searching for and failed to find in the previous setups...
5D+L is good.. for its bokeh and creamy-ness in 1.4 lens and its softness .
i had the CZ16-80 before (sold it when i upgraded to full frame), and I can say that its extremely sharp. Its not a cheap lens, but as a premium lens, its not expensive (premium lens from other systems are even more ex).
If you are on a budget, can consider the Sony 16-105. Its nearly as sharp (center sharpness is nearly on par, only the corners can see that CZ1680 wins) and cost much lesser.

I totally agree with the part about the premium lens of other camps that cost much more.

Yeah bro I was adviced also to get 16-105 hmmm let see how it goes
I think Zuiko and Sony lenses price wise are very good and usability are great also they dont have so many lens line up but most of them are pretty solid lenses.
Agree with you on SAM lense not being any faster and on photo mode, its like someone tapping your lens with a pencil when it focus.:bsmilie:
But put it on a A33/A55 and shoot video, there is a world of difference !!! ...its not total silence but you could only hear the AF sound if you shot your video in the library.
Another advantage is that should you mount a SAM lense on a Nex (with the A-mount adaptor), you will have AF capability (after the mid-Oct firmware update) ...with the older legacy screw-drive AF lense, you're out of luck as the Nex does not have AF motors in it's body.
It looks like the days of the screw-drive AF lense are numbered as each new generation of A-mount lense are getting released with SAM, SSM, HSM and USD stamped on them !:bsmilie:

Its actually quite ironic that once you go into FF, the lenses are quite limited. Or i would say good and cheap lenses are kinda limited, of course unless getting old mnolta ones.
That is one main factor blocking me from going FF as i cant afford a cz2470. Think of it, actually its lucky for my wallet though.

But once u get it and pair it with a full frame, u will be sure that's the only lens you will ever need... (just kidding, maybe 99% true at least for me)
Of course bro. A850/900 with cz2470 and 70200G is the dream setup.
By the way, to those who joined the sony camp, warm welcome and here's a good site to read for all the lenses reviews and rating for our A-Mount!!!

Hmm, off topic but Canon EOS bodies do NOT have any focusing motors in them. All motors are in the lenses.
If you love creamy bokeh, you've picked the right camp. Enter the 135 STF, the cream machine! :lovegrin:
Eeeek ! ...manual focusing nightmare ! :bsmilie: ...you need a seven dan, black belt in photography in order to use that !!! :sweatsm:
...Jokes aside, that is one heck of a Bokeh making tube ! :thumbsup:
Surely very difficult for penta-mirror aps-c bodies, but I don't think it's that difficult for the FF 900/850 or the EVF 33/55.
Yup, it's the only lens with such design in the world, shame that not many people know it.
