What lens will be best for Sony Alpha A-450 - romanzv - 08-14-2010 Greetings! My name is Roman and I'm from Russia (Moscow). Last month ago I've got my firs DSLR. I've made my choice towards Sony Alpha A-450. Now I’m ready to buy a good lens for it because the kit lens seem very boring to me and it produces very ugly pictures with a huge barrel distortion on the wide end and blurry results on all focus range. Will the Zeiss ZA Vario-Sonnar T* 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 DT be a good lens to buy instead of the kit lens (for landscape photography)? Hope on your advice! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Thank you in advance!

[/quote] yes, 16-80mm would be better at least What lens will be best for Sony Alpha A-450 - Brightcolours - 08-16-2010 [quote name='oneguy' timestamp='1281915758' post='1795'] yes, 16-80mm would be better at least [/quote] Wow, the first person I have read about who buys an A450! What made you pick the liveview-less A450 over the A550? Another option to consider might be the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 EX DC Macro, or the new Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 EX DC OS HSM. Both are better built and better performing than the kit lens.

And I’ve purchased the A-450 because it doesn’t have the tilting display, the construction of which is seem very unreliable two me. The new Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 EX seem very interesting to me. But first of all I think it will be the best to see what results it will give on a-450/550. (I didn’t found any samples on the net). The Zeiss ZA Vario-Sonnar T* 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 DT has a more wider focal range and a better wider angle. It will be hard to choose! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> |
