well... i definately can tell that this is a piece of lens which is affordable yet very satisfied upon its price and qualities. the market price for this lens is around rm700, bcoz i got a better offer, so i got it for only rm650. hey looks, its a zoom lens with IS! i can get a cheaper zoom lens without IS like maybe rm500? n even to 300mm, but the point is, without IS, means die...
now talks about its quality... below are some of the photos taken lastnite at a place leaded by takchow which is best for viewing the klcc n kl tower. all these shots have been taken without using a tripod and some of it was taken with full zoom...
although i cant get a 100% sharpness when viewing it in the pc from its actual size, but then it still shows 90% clearness in which i think it is still satisfied as i'm shooting it without a tripod. now u can see the important of I.S.
actually for the beginning i was expecting to get my future 2nd lens to be a potrait lens wic is canon 50mm f1.8 with only rm300. but then end up, i also dunno why this zoom lens is in my beg now! omg! its all ban leck's fault!!! lol... but anyhow he got his point in motivating me to work HARD for my coming resit paper lah... hope tat i can successfully clear all of it n wun disappoint him n fly to UK to shoot more nice photos for him to jealous, lol... thanks ya! >.-
with canon 50mm f1.8, i think its sufficient enuf to shoot a nice potrait photos with a satisfited DOF (depth of field) just like the above photo which i took with this lens, other things besides the face is in blur image. u can see also the salesman showed an un-expressed looks in telling how much it is worth to buy... lol...
