各前輩好,
小弟所用的是-
Dynax404si
Dynax7 w/ vc-7
Tokina 28-70 2.8-4.5
Sigma 24-70 f2.8 DG DF
Minolta 75-300 II 4.5-5.6
Sunpak auto4205G flash
多拍寫實,風景,最近學拍人像.
一向覺得Minolta是一間頂級的光學公司,而且一向深受好評(廿年前已經是),至少對於研究與開發,Minolta一向盡心盡力,公共關係也很出色.
總覺得Minolta這品牌是有一種簫灑的風格,當人們拿起美樂達,頓然變成藝術家般,浪跡江湖!

沒錯50mmf3.5 Macro放大率是2:1，它不可能同50mmf2.8(D) Macro (1:1)比效；一定有差距，只能用來影植物一解影Macro的心引。對焦距離要很近被攝物，所以不怡影昆蟲。對焦速度算快，相片色澤okay!如喜歡影昆蟲，100mmf2.8(D)Macro (1:1) 是非常好的選擇。50mmf2.8(D)未用過，No comment

how can you have 85/1.8 for Minolta?

Dynax 5 will choose any one of the 7 AF points, in case you have small depth of field and there are a lot of things located in different distance from you, all of which may be focused, in such case, the possiblity that the camera choose an AF different from what you expect is very high, hence, you should choose the middle AF point and focus and then recompose.

Similar for 800si, because the wide AF frame is so large that in many cases there are a lot of things with different distance from you are iincluded in the frame, you just don't know where it has focused. again, you have to choose an AF point and recompose.

In simple cases where a person stand before a distance background, both cameras works well.

In conclusion, AF cannot be fully trusted. for fast moving objects, use 800si's wide focus frame to increase the probability of catching the scene.

to Icedice,
係咁架啦,如果唔係點引o的人入Minolta這大家庭.
Sigma 24-70 DG 是一枝不錯的鏡,大光圈表現良好,解像力也很好,
但貴,重,口徑超大的82mm,遮光罩又易脫.

After I have a Sigma 70-300, I don't like Sigma then.
so if you think 80-200/2.8 has too many shortcomings, then wait for the new version, now you may try to find a 70-210/4, around $1000-1500 in Hong Kong, or even cheaper in ebay. very good considering its price.

while Canon's 70-200/4 costs the same as a Sigma 70-200/2.8, Minolta's 70-210/4 will be very very cheap by comparison. and I don't think the optical quality of Minolta will be any worse than Canon with respect to 70-210/4, after all, the MD version of this lens has been adopted by Leica for her 70-210/4.

我看了許多，但發覺很少人用505si supper這機種，是否他的性能不好嗎？因我正想買一部！

但我發現在旺角505si supper連28~80鏡只售1,990元，比D5平很多呢

我的設備很齋:
Daynx 7xi + 50mm/f1.7 + PL filter only

停左影相有6, 7 年, BB於下月出生,所以又再取出相機把玩, 發覺已和相機界脫節了!

想增添設備又不知是否合用.

7xi can use all the AF lens, although it does not support ADI.

for now you may buy a 24-85/3.5-4.5new, around $2,200 for new and $1,500 2nd hand. If you plan to buy Dynax 5 or 7 later, then buy 24-105/3.5-4.5 ($2,600 new).
This zoom range is very convenient, given you have 50/1.7 for dim light conditions, a standard zoom like this is very useful and enough for your use. These lens have very good performance, not any worse than any counterparts in other camera manufacturers.
