Guys, any of you know how much this lens would be? :Grin: it is said that it will be release on August which I though first its already available in the market.

Hmmm.. when will be Tamron release its own version. I am dreaming of the great white but its too steep for me :(

Oops, USD200 more expensive than Tammie. Just wait for some guys to offload their old Sig70-200/.28 (the one w/o Macro) ;)

Or... wait in line for the SAL70-300/4.5-5.6G|SSM (USD799) ;) Test shots I've seen so far are very very promising! Time to sell the Bigma? :D :D :D

hi,

itatanong ko lang sana kung maganda ba yung lens for indoor shots (walang flash) ? e.g. gym, fluorescent lights lang ang ilaw at walang liwanag na nanggagaling sa bintana o kaya naman, kahit anong indoor shots na similar ang ambiance @ f2....

please, bago ko bilhin yung lens.

maraming salamat

allen

hi allen, i think no one own this lens yet specially in alpha system here in forum. (im not sure) :) but on the said lens specification it is good for indoors plus the fact that we have SSS built in.

in any case you will be the first one and please share us your experience... post photos here :Grin:
