if I were to pick up a fast 50 again, it would probably be the sy 50 1.4. it's pretty good with the new FW, but to me, still too big

it's like the more reasonable sized 1.4 lenses, I just know that it's too big for me to carry in conjunction with other lenses.

I like the diminutive size of my FE 55 f1.8 lens, especially when compared next to my FE 85GM f1.4 lens.

I've got the nifty fifty and I'm generally happy with its size and weight, just liked the SY for the nice bokeh, but not enough to keep it around.

we're two weeks away from our Singapore/Philippines month vacation. My lens now are only the 85GM and the 12-24. I felt like lacking the normal FL like a 24-70. I'm thinking about getting the Tamron 28-75. It's going to be perfect for my events shooting as well.

Any Tammy 28-75 users in here. Can you recommend it?

I love mine. Can’t recommend it enough

highly recommended.

Best AF for a third party lens, very quick, fairly sharp everywhere (on par with the 12-24 IMO), and f2.8 gets the job done. It's a very utilitarian lens, nothing flashy about it. In many ways, it's like the 12-24 optics wise, sharp, smallish for what it offers, no cool sunstars either, just faster aperture and different focal lengths.

So from SAR there is a post reporting that Sony's market share went up to 24%.

IIRC Nikon were around the same so I think it would probably be safe to say Sony are now number 2 and have overtaken Nikon

EDIT:

Ok I just had a quick look and I'm not sure where those figures come from. The post below is from last year and contradicts the SAR post

I think the figures SAR reports are Japan only.

I had forgotten how small that 55 is especially when you compare it to the ZA.

I'm sure you'll love your new Sony Renata. Mark Galer's Youtube Channel has lots of great videos on setting up your camera to suit you best.
